BuddyPress.org

Yeah I did that part. My theme is a child theme now, just doesnt look good at all.

Ok i have found the directories that need to be changed but thats as far as my knowledge goes, I have opened the files into note pad but what to change is not jumping out on me im guessing my lack of know how is a stumbling block. any further suggestions or is it a case of find some one that can psycally go into my cp to make the changes?

Thanx Aces, I’ll have a go see if my site exists by tommorow oh joy

@mercime Yessir. WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.1. I have went through the process and walkthroughs. The were all copied successfully and I now I need to edit the 13 BP templates to match my theme. But BP is still using core templates rather than the templates residing in my theme. The admin bar is working and all links are working just fine.

Not sure what you mean by which count but when you click on members, it says how many members I have. how do I customize the theme. Do I have to change something in theme files? if so what do I take out and what do I put in?

Thanks for your help!

Seems that JS is messed up on the wordpress admin interface, along with the issues above the editor doesn’t show content and I can’t switch between Visual and HTML view.

I’m using the default buddypress theme and I now have no other plugins active. I also reset the plugins (active_plugins field) in wp-options table and then only turned on buddypress. I have not customised core code.

Was previously running 3.2.1 and 1.2.9. I’ve upload/installed the plugin in various ways to make sure nothing went wrong.

Seems a JS issue to me? As if wordpress required functionality has been overwritten. The buddypress admin bar dropdowns work.

Is anyone else having this issues?

Also… I just wanted to comment that it would be really nice if the documentation for Buddypress is more organized. Currently there is information about 1.5 mixed in with 1.2 and even earlier. Is it that difficult to separate major versions and keep it organized?

I came across an article in the codex talking about enqueued CSS, with lines of complex code including instructions to update a variable when changes are made to bust cache.

I am sitting here waiting for some answers without working any further on this project, thinking to myself WTF does enqueue stylesheet and bust cache mean, I cannot even get comprehensible answers googling them, and hoping that I did not waste numerous hours working on a pre-1.5 project powered by BP.

i do appreciate all the hard work put into BP, but just because it is open source doesn’t mean there is no need for any logic behind it. Obviously there is no expectation for serious projects to use it out-of-the-box with the default theme and default components, so in my opinion, it is essential to explain to your users what the next version means and what needs to done for a smooth transition. Instead of publishing several articles about an unreleased version, perhaps it would have been wiser to have done that instead. If I had the knowledge, I would have gladly offered that.

I really hope I don’t move to another platform as I love WP and really liked BP’s usability when doing my research.

Personal activity streams don’t seem to be working either if you are using the template pack.

PS: The personal activity streams on buddypress.org doesn’t seem to be working anymore either and all the old activity is completely wiped out.
