BuddyPress.org

Something to do with owner permissions.

Do a search on google for “wordpress upload owner permissions”.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

It will walk you through it.

EDIT:

Sorry I misread your question. I thought you where looking to edit a WP theme.

I found the hooks but I cant figure out to give points to poster/author instead of logged in user.

I want posters to get points when someone else likes their post or comment etc. a sitewide point system.

Like:

if( function_exists(‘cp_alterPoints’) && is_user_logged_in() ){

cp_alterPoints(the_author_ID(), 5);

}

This is what the docs says:

cp_alterPoints( int $uid, int $points )

Parameters

int $uid: ID of a WordPress user. To get the ID of the current logged in user, use the cp_currentUser() function.

int $return: Number of points to add to the specified user.

Sorted. Thank you r-a-y for pointing me in the right direction.

I created a child theme, copied the header files into it. Changed the above two lines so they pointed to mysite.com instead of mysite.com/wordpress that they were originally pointing to.

Thank you once again.

I’m really pleased with your help, and with the result.

hi Mike

That’s great

well, you may give this a try

hi there

Well, currently Buddypress allows users to change the text/their images(gravatar) etc. So most of the thing you want is already there.

For your second question, I don’t think there is a plugin which allows selecting font size/color, so this is something which you will not get out of the box.

You may want to take a look at Boone’s plugin tinyMCE for Buddypress. That allows posting rich text data.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-css-drop-down-menu/

Would this allow for the main site to not be a BuddyPress site but the main WordPress MU domain (www.mydomain.com).

Then when a new blog is created it would be it’s own buddypress private social area, lets say for company XYZ.mydomain.com.

Then employees from XYZ could come to XYZ.mydomain.com and register from there?

This is what I’m trying to do with my requirements I have. If we are looking for the same thing maybe we can help each other and forward the answer to each other when we find it.

All I need now is for the ‘Home’ link in the header to point to mysite.com it currently points to mysite/wordpress

Anyone know how I change this?

The bp theme header shows

<div id="header">



<h1 id="logo"><a>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php bp_site_name() ?></a></h1>



<ul id="nav">

<li<?php if ( bp_is_front_page() ) : ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>

<a>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

So presumably (says she with little knowledge) I need to change this to something else?

When I go direct to mysite.com it goes to my correct homepage and the default homepage tag is highlighted, but if I actually click on that tag it takes me to the mysite/wordpress folder list. weird!

Actually I am trying to solve the same situation…only with more access levels Free Bronze, Silver and Gold.

I do have role manager running access to pages nicely via wishlist member…..and I need something to bridge to protect forums by role.

I have checked the above instructions. I’m using the above code and my site is sorted except for the ‘Home’ Page.

All my links, BuddyPress and the pre-existing WordPress links all open on the correct page except the ‘Home Page.

I’m using BuddyPress default theme and when I activated it. it created a ‘Home’ tag that goes straight to the Mysite/WordPress folder and lists its content.

I’ve created a static ‘Home’ page, and this to has created a ‘Home’ tag in the header that does actually go to the home page.

So, currently, I’ve got two ‘Home’ links in my header, an incorrect one taking me to a folder list, and a correct one taking me to my home page.

Is there a way of getting rid of the default home page, just leaving me with the new one I’ve created?

With the above code snippet, your BP pages should actually go to mysite.com/BPpage.

If you did not use the code snippet above, your BP pages would reside at mysite.com/wordpress/BPpage.

So if BP wasn’t running correctly before the snippet, there’s something larger going on.

I think you should double-check these instructions again:
