BuddyPress.org

Could be plugin/theme conflict. Deactivate plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, clear cache, does the same thing happen?

@triplemoons this thread is 10 months old. Looks like they no longer carry free themes. Closing this topic.

404 Error when following link…

Add this to your wp-config.php file
define(‘WP_DEFAULT_THEME’, ‘theme-folder-name’);
from this tutorial

As for changing themes, as long as you activate only your preferred default theme sitewide in Network Admin, the only change they can make is to twentyten which needs to be there just in case.

There are different approaches to what you want to do which includes deciding whether you will allow your users to post from the backend or to post always from the front end. My approach would be to use EventPress plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eventpress/ along with with http://buddydev.com/plugins/eventpress-gallery/ which requires the premium BP Gallery plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/ which has images, audio, video galleries. Perhaps others would like to share what their approaches would be.

It would have been better to start a new thread, but….

bp default theme index.php still has “ in it.

If you copy the index.php from the buddypress parent (ie: http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-themes/bp-default/index.php or your current alternative parent) theme to the child theme then it doesn’t take much creation…..

all you need to do then is the edit suggested by mercime…

Edit
“

and you’re done.

Since this is the only thread I can find on the subject . . .

How is this done with the current version of BuddyPress? The default index.php no longer looks much like mercime’s version above, and I quite simply can’t find the right code to tweak.

(Works fine on the individual posts, of course.)

I’m sure it’d be better in a child theme, but the child themes others have created don’t include an index.php, and I’m not much interested in creating my own.

thanks so much, the above approach worked, Am using a child theme created by me, but i copied all the files from bp-default theme and customised it. where can i get the onecolumn-page.php template? am not developer but its only help from people like that push me this far

regards

Yes and no, you would need to change the body class token body.register is particular to the registration page so you would need to do something like:
`
body.page-id-1215 #content,
body.register div#content {
margin-right:0;
padding:0;
width:100%;
}

`
page-id-1215 is the only unique identifier of that page.

However this approach isn’t really the best one, it would be better to be using a onecolumn-page.php template that has the sidebar removed as is provided in the bp-default theme then you would select that page template for you terms&conditions page and when 1.3 hits you would do the same for the registration page.

If these are the exact words, they are not from BP. Did you use a custom theme with a language file ? Show there….

How complex is the Tours section?

though the BuddyPress Skeleton Component needs to be updated

@goozleology deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to default theme. If the behavior persists with defaults then post back here.

If the problem is resolved with bp-default and no other plugins except BuddyPress, then you should check which of the plugins or if it’s the theme that’s causing such behavior, then contact plugin/theme author.

Won’t work currently. You can only show one “scope’ or all of them. I had tried to do what you are asking for a theme and it’s a BP core thing that needs added. @DJPaul suggested adding this request to trac.buddypress.org

It is more like Twitter than anything. I have been trying to figure out a way to just combine all the separate activity streams (just-me, mentions, favorites) into one simple stream

This use to work for at least combining “just-me” and “mentions” but the last update or two broke it

Using activity as wire in Buddypress 1.2 themes

Sorry, I was being unclear. When a newer version of BuddyPress is put in place in /plugins, when you as an admin visit /wp-admin/, it will fire an internal update script. That’s what I was referring to.

I can’t remember how similar 1.0rc to 1.0 was. I have not recently tried to see if it’s possible to upgrade from 1.0 to the latest version, 1.2.8, in one go. On the safe side, I suggest you upgrade to 1.0 first, then: 1.1, 1.2 (new BP-Default theme here — it should switch to the new default theme automatically), 1.2.4.1, 1.2.8.

It’s hard to remove a post and let you see the response, so I’m closing this one. Please refrain from posting any further about this, it’s beginning to look like spam (this is the third post that I’m aware of, in the last few days). Heck, the title of this thread is the sort of thing Google’s going to pick up on, which I know is your intention.

In terms of people selling or advertising premium BuddyPress services on this site, there’s a balance between promoting your plugin in situations such as responding to a relevant topic, i.e. “how can I do x?” and you reply, “my premium plugin z can do that for you!” (which is okay), and outright advertising or spamming (which isn’t). Announcing a new premium plugin or theme is fine, but posting an announcement or advert each week isn’t — that’s spam.

Blatant advertising or spamming is not allowed; BuddyPress.org community support is about community support, it is not a free-for-all marketplace. This isn’t the place for that type of thing.

Specifically regarding your site, there are extra considerations. You appear to be re-selling GPL’d plugins and themes[1] (I have only taken a quick look at your site). As long as you had purchased these GPL’d themes or plugins originally, then you can turn around and give that theme or plugin to anybody you want. The GPL is about redistribution. My understanding is that this viewpoint is entirely correct.

However, I think you’re missing the big picture. It may not be illegal, but I don’t think it’s ethical. The authors of those works which you are profiting from worked hard to create something. By re-selling their works, I believe you are disrespecting those authors and the larger community. To me, it’s as simple as this: if this sort of behaviour discourages even one individual from creating a new BuddyPress plugin or a BuddyPress theme, because they’d like to try to make some money from it, then the community has been harmed by having one less choice.

I feel this threads falls between an announcement of a service and an advertisement for that service, considering your repeated posts, with debatable ethics. I apologise on behalf of our moderator team; we should have got in contact with you after your first post, and we’re sorry that it seemed we were picking on your posts. However, you could have posted another topic and asked what happened to your previous posts; we would have seen it.

I am paul@byotos.com if you would like to discuss further in private, or you’re welcome to start a new topic and start a discussion about the ethics of re-selling GPL plugins/themes, but maybe that sort of discussion would go best on the wordpress.org forums, rather than here, as it would be seen by a larger audience of WordPress plugin and theme authors (relevant, of course, because your site appears to have WP and BP-specific themes listed).

[1] This assumes that everything in those plugins/themes is covered by the GPL, such as images or any other files, as opposed to just the PHP source.

If you want to help grow the WP AND BP community’s then you can do so by developing and sharing your own plugins or themes.you’re not helping if you rip off others,
it doesn’t mean if it’s GPL that everything should be free.In my opinion all those premium services are helping the grow of WP and BP that’s also a small part why WP has become so popular and if there are more such services for BP then BP will grow as well.

if you’re not a developer or designer but still want to help then you can help by donating to people like Paul or Andrea_r.

This is such a huge, complicated issue. I’ve not even tried this myself. BP 1.2’s theme system changed, so you will be reverting back to the new default theme unless you build a new theme. Any specific BuddyPress plugins you are running will almost certainly stop working in some way. You’ve also got several WordPress versions to step through.

What version of WordPress are you using? I’m guessing WPMU 2.7?
