BuddyPress.org

Go back to a base WordPress install with the default 2010 theme. Then try to set custom permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/

Does that work? Can you go to categories and posts without problem?

If not, it is a problem with your server setup for WordPress and nothing to do with BuddyPress. You should fix that problem before attempting to use BuddyPress

@obakitch You can over-ride the theme files — I guess you can get an events directory, etc. as required; disable the forums; to match the look of your site the edit-form, create and edit pages will have to be drastically re-themed.

For future reference, try raising plugin issues on the plugin group: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/eventpress/

Alright, concrete feedback now that I’ve played with your features.
1) Header image is too small. I would like options to have a larger image. I like 275 px
2) Remove the search from the header. I’d like options to remove that. It’s unneeded for my site.
3) Title. It’s currently behind the gray bar for the buddypress. Move it down?

Now, I’m just learning PHP, been using HTML for years. New to WordPress in last year. Can I make the above changes somehow in the style.php? I hate to make changes and break it.

I like that it uses the custom menus, so much of my information needs to be accessed in it’s categories.

Thanx for the hard work!

never mind, figured it out. don’t use the # mark on the HEX number. Thanx! It’s looking good!

Alright, finding out the ups and downs of your theme. Good work! Wondering though, what code do I put into the theme options for the colors?

What plugins are you using? Does the problem persist when you enable bp-default instead of your custom theme?

I like it. Thanks for sharing.

It would be nice if the header image was a bit taller

Not quite sure what you mean, but if you’ve deleted this line with wp_list_pages in header.php then you need to add it back,

ok, with thanks to http://cleverness.org/2010/08/08/add-user-types-to-wordpress-and-buddypress/ found another starting point:

Put this in you BuddyPress theme /registration/register.php file:

`Account Type:

User Type A
User Type B
User Type C

`

Put the following code in your theme’s functions.php:

`<?php
/* Add sign-up field to BuddyPress sign-up array*/
function bp_custom_user_signup_field( $usermeta ) {
$usermeta = $_POST;

return $usermeta;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_signup_usermeta’, ‘bp_custom_user_signup_field’ );

/* Add field_name from sign-up to usermeta on activation */
function bp_user_activate_field( $signup ) {

update_usermeta( $signup, ‘signup_type’, $signup );

return $signup;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_activate_account’, ‘bp_user_activate_field’ );

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {
global $bp, $wpdb;

$type = $meta[signup_type];

update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘signup_type’, $type );

}
add_action( ‘wpmu_activate_user’, ‘synchro_wp_usermeta’, 10, 3);
`

This should create selection of account types on the signup page.
If anyone knows how to update profile-loop.php, so that every account type would have different profile group, please share your opinion.

thanks.

I am the owner of Blogcastor.com and is not in anyway harmful. It was a comment with a link (cc.co) that cause the problem. It has been removed and is running fine now.

In that process(reactifying) I have lost my data. Themes will be available for download ASAP.

Hi @travel-junkie!

I am very interested in your plugin, but am wondering about one thing: will it be possible to embed the events map in another place (for example the front page?) . I don’t need any fancy plugin option or anything to do this, just some code that I could paste into my theme…

You have got a huge heap of plugins running. The first rule of troubleshooting is to reduce down to the most basic functionality to produce a test case that demonstrates the issue or not, ideally one runs the basic installation which will not demonstrate the issue, then start to add back in plugins one by one checking each time to see if the issue kicks in again, or work that in reverse and start disabling plugins one by one checking as you go so that you know what plugin causes the problem.

This is exactly the same reason we ask that people drop back to the default theme as doing that tells us immediately if an issue is related to BP or a custom theme.

Now the activity as the home page is working, and the logout button is also displayed after login. Another problem is the blog page/tab can not display the list of blog posts. He even displays a list of blogs because I named the page/tab “Blog”. Login form on the front page also does not work: every time I login always redirected to the wp-login.

@fjrichman if you import the adminbar.css from the bp-default theme into your theme’s style.css, there won’t be any gap if you disable the BP Admin Barl , The bp-admin-bar.css you imported takes care of adding the necessary space at the top when you enable bp admin bar. When you disable bp admin bar, your theme will go back to original setting without extraneous gap.

@pcwriter –

Is this in a child theme from bp-default?

Have you checked the file path is correct to your custom.css file? Do an inspect element in your browser and check the path bloginfo is generating – is it the one you expect?

Also, not sure what you mean by it “it defaults to bp-default/_inc/css/default” … is this a child theme, or have you just tried modifying style.css in the bp-default theme itself?

If you have made a child theme, and followed the standard bp css structure – then style.css will include the default.css in your child theme’s _inc/css folder – not to the default.css in the bp-default theme.

If you clarify these questions, it might help explain which css files are actually being used.

A couple things –

– You need an `if` before `bp_has_profile`, eg `( if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=1,3,4’ ) ) ) :`
– You’ll need to close the ifs and whiles; before the final `}` put `endwhile; endif;`
– You need to actually display some content after bp_the_profile_group();. Look at the xprofile templates (bp-themes/bp-default/profile…) to get a sense of the template tags you’ll use inside of the loop to display content.

here’s the link to custom community theme in the WP repository:

demo site is now here:

I heard it was removed because it was showing a bunch of spam users that had joined. The only who is online widget that I know of is the default one that comes with the default theme.
