BuddyPress.org

Hi !

Your idea is great.
Where do you write all those codes ? into functions.php ?
Moreover, I would like to merge all “personal”, “friends”,”groups” and “mentions” in one ? using your method, would it be possible ?
Thanks to help me.

I’m using wordpress 3.0 , buddypress 1.2.5 , and bp-default theme

You can’t delete your account on this site, because the user database is shared with other websites (wordpress.org, for example). I don’t think Automattic offer a way to delete your user account.

Not sure what you mean. I’m guessing the layout is messed up on your BuddyPress pages.
Like I eluded to earlier, you’ll have to modify the BuddyPress templates in your theme to make it look the same as the rest of your site.

Step 3 in BP Template Pack should have outlined these steps. If you have no experience working with themes, you might find this a little daunting.

You can try the BP Template Pack plugin combined with your WordPress theme:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Most likely, some tweaking will need to be made to the BuddyPress templates that get imported into your theme once you use the plugin.

Creating a landing page in BuddyPress is no different than creating a landing page in WordPress.

Like Modemlooper said, what do you mean exactly?

Try editing /single.php and /page.php in your child theme.

Edit the_time()’s parameters to add the date:

Glad you like my sports fundraising concept. Initially my focus is signing up sports organizations. In some cases that’s the school, other times it’s a non-profit organization and other times its the overriding association that might have a dozen or more teams. I’m basically trying to build a platform that will work for any organization that needs to raise money. In fact, I’m having some good success with cheerleading, swimming and dance teams right now too. It could certainly work for a tennis team too;-)

I think it makes sense to move to an all BP site. You’re not going to lose any of the previous benefit since BP can be configured to have all the features of your previous HTML pages.

To do what I described, you create a page and assign it a page-template (see WordPress for page template details). The page template can show pretty much anything you want. Then, create a second blank page with the title “Blog” (or whatever you want to call your blog pages). Then, go to Setting->Reading. Set the “Front Page” to the page you created with the page-template. Then, set the “Posts page” to the blank “Blog” page you created. That will make your home page the page template and give you a blog page. I actually do have my blog linked, but only at the bottom of the page: http://givingsports.com/blog/ Plus, I haven’t done many posts yet;-)

There are a couple other ways to do your blog like this, but that was the easiest one I found and it worked well for me.

@meetsos, if you haven’t solved the problem yet:
I believe you should be able to create a functions.php file in the Randy Candy theme. (Or go one better and create your own child theme based on Randy Candy, so you can benefit from published updates without losing your modifications.)

I doubt I can help much, but I’m sure whoever does help will need more details. Here are a few follow up questions for you.

How did you try to install buddypress, exactly? Did you add the plugin from wp-admin or by uploading to the plugins directory via ftp? Were you able to activate the buddypress plugin? i.e., when you say you just “tried to install” it, is that because it gave some error directly (and therefore you never saw buddypress in action at all or altered the default settings), or because you haven’t been able to log into wordpress since then?

Hopefully with some more details, one of the generous wp/bp gurus on here will be able to sort you out.

in response to the original poster. how do I place that file in my wordpress root directory, and where is the directory?

Thanks

It’s there as Paul said in your main wordpress admin, find it in your WP admin left menu towards the bottom. “WP Admin – Settings > Reading Settings > A static page (tick radio button) > “Front Page displays” (and select a page you want for your home). You can set a page for home page there, also for posts index page just under there.

This chart might help: WP Roles & Capabilities.

There’s a good plugin for that, something like Restrict Group Creation. If somebody doesn’t beat me to it, I’ll dig up the link.

EDIT: Here you go: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ or get it the WordPress plugin directory.

The “blog” tab here is to the main BP site blog. If you want to offer each of your members their own individual WP blog sites, you’ll need to activate Multisite in your WordPress installation (WP 3.0 or higher only):

I have WP 3.0.1 in Multisite mode running the latest BP, and it’s working great for me. I manually create the child sites, though, so I can’t vouch for how things work if you want to allow members to register their blog sites themselves (but I don’t see why it should matter).
