BuddyPress.org

The text “The default theme for BuddyPress” cannot be translated as it is in a .css file. As only the site administrator will see that text when they activate the theme, is it a big issue? The other text here is part of WordPress.

The wrong path thing is more interesting and there are some other forum posts here with that problem. I don’t know when I will get time to look into it so maybe someone else can help.

hey

Try this one,hopefully It will help.

Otherwise you can always edit the template file for profile.

hi,Your page will not be accessible as http://yourdomain.com/features.php as it resides in your theme,It should be accessible via http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/pages/features.php

Now my advise,better look at How to use page template in wordpress.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

You can use your features.php as page template and create a page features, so this file can be accessed via yourdomain.com/features

Hope it helps.

Use the defining function option in this post, it works like a charm. I just did it and it was a piece of cake!

Great idea and I would love to help out in creating buddypress themes.. I’m experienced in making themes, but not familiar with wordpress/buddypress but I think it would be good to have a site dedicated to bp themes only

I’m having the same exact problem as well! Every page is Error 404. Fresh WordPress MU install followed by a fresh BuddyPress install. Error 404 on every page.

Might this have to do with htaccess? Are files missing? (I re-installed, but problem still persists)

it works wih bp 1.1.1

@Jacoby who wrote “I’m curious how many queries other social network sites use on a single page load.”

I was too, and saw that it varies widely — from about 40 queries per page for the commercial SocialEngine script (which now includes Zend fragment and full page caching, very nice) to the mind-blowing 1.364 queries just to show the Dashboard on Elgg as reported in Elgg’s own forum. As for Drupal, it makes a similar number of queries per page as BuddyPress (of course it depends on the number of modules, etc) and with that level it is such a mess that Jesse Farmer, the main developer for Popsugar (the most trafficked social network built on Drupal) abandoned the project and wrote on a developers forum that Drupal is impossible to scale and “it would have been easier to start from scratch”. And bear in mind that Popsugar got $5 million from Sequoia Capital, so they have plenty of money to “throw hardware” at the problem.

@DJPaul, who said “Your post is not very constructive as you haven’t suggested a particular page on a site which interested developers could look into – saying that the entire thing needs attention may be valid, but we need to start from somewhere.”

I am not a coder, so how about starting here: I will pay $500 dollars to the person or team that reduces the number of queries on the main Buddypress blog page to around 20 (which is the normal number for a WordPress blog running the default theme). I am ready to escrow this money on the site of their preference.

Hey all. I have just been hired full time as a web developer and videographer for a major medical school. The idea is to create a site that will recruit more young people to go into healthcare related fields.

Anyway, I want to use WPMU and Buddypress as the architecture for content management and some social networking components. I have a good bit of WordPress experience, but am completely new to BuddyPress. I am right now in the process of developing a totally custom theme for the site.

There is a lot of content outside just the main blog and the BuddyPress components. The wordpress functionality is basically complete and I’m now starting on the BuddyPress portion. I’m a bit confused as to how to step into the theme development. Is there a good explainer somewhere that might help me understand how exactly the BP components are called or hooked into what would otherwise be a standard WP theme?

I would not be able to share the custom build with the community as it would not have any applicability outside this site, but once I get my feet wet, I would be happy to help develop a more generic theme to donate to the cause.

Personally… I would just try to make it work with jQuery instead since WordPress already includes it… and then you won’t be using two JS Frameworks. I’m pretty sure that anything MooTools can do… jQuery can do.

I was looking at http://www.dailywp.com/jobpress-wordpress-theme/ which is in use at http://jobs.smashingmagazine.com/. I was wondering if it was compatible with WPMU and Buddypress.

I would definitely interested in ur jobboard component!

I have not seen anyone on the BuddyPress forums reporting that they are using this plugin. You are the first that I’ve seen.

From the error message, it looks like WPMU has an issue with some code in the plugin. It could be caused by another plugin you’ve installed being incompatible or simply a bug within the plugin itself.

Your best bet is to contact the plugin developer, tell them about the error, and ask whether it works with BP v1.1.1.
