BuddyPress.org

Doug-

I can’t speak to the reason why the CSS was implemented this way, but it may have something to do with the fact that bphome is a default theme which can be replaced with any WordPress theme with a few tweaks here and there. So it follows the standard WP theming protocol.

The bpmember theme, on the other hand, is unique to the BuddyPress world. As I’m sure you know, you cannot take a standard WP theme and tweak it into a custom BP member theme. Andy created the CSS coding protocols from scratch for BuddyPress member themes. Andy can speak to this more directly–and correct me if my assumptions are wrong!

I could see a lot of value in pulling all of the color values & branding (logo) out of base.css and into branding.css

I like this idea a lot!

gwsa, you don’t have access to the wp themes? Site Admin > Themes > Activate some on that list. Then Appearance > Themes > All those you activated should be available for selection.

dawnsinger, the universal blog theme is the theme that lives in /wp-content/themes/default. All blog themes are wordpress themes.

Andy — I’m probably just missing it in the documentation somewhere, but my user-created blogs are showing up as default WordPress themes. How/where do I set a universal member BLOG theme?

Thanks,

ok, i started from 0 again, its my 4th day trying to make it work, 8 hours day, I am FRUSTRATED, now:

bbpress alpha 6

BP 1.0.1

wordpress mu 2.7.1

I followed ALL the steps in this post (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471&page=5), I know them by heart already, users are shared in bbpress and wordpress, if i log on as admin in wordpress i am logged in also in bbpress, cookies seem to work but….

…still not able to create a group with forum, nothing is updated in bbpress after creating the group, i think its because of cookies but I did ALL as commented so I am REALLY lost ((

so bbpress alpha 6 doesnt work for me, i tried rc1 and rc3 also

i hope, its the most difficult installation ever

after expending 4 days to integrate buddypress bbpress and wordpress mu with no luch it makes Drupal easy

ok, now when i log in in wordpress i am logged in bbpress, but still cant create a group with forums enabled

and now i can say i dont have any idea of what more to try (((

Erwin you have to connect to the wp plugins repo for your plugin such as:

http://svn.wp-plugins.org/<plugin slug>

Where your plugin slug is the filename of the download zip, minus the .zip part. Then you can ‘checkout’ a copy of the repo which is your working copy. In tortise svn it’s right click in the directory you want to create a copy and ‘svn checkout…’

It’ll ask you the url to the repo and the name of the dir to put things in.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/faq/ for kinda how to take it from there.

THE CAUSE FOUND!!!

I found the cause of this issue. So obvious. Everyone who’s having this issue please follow this instruction!!

DON’T REINSTALL THE WORDPRESS OR BUDDYPRESS. You should just follow the steps below.

1. go to siteurl/wp-admin

2. go to setting -> permalinks

3. Change common settings EXCEPT DEFAULT. If you set it as default, the issue occurs.

If this doesn’t work, please reply.

Thank you all!

I reckon as much as 25% of my users are using ie 6

Well, based on the most recent browser statistics, you have an unusual group of users!

It is very difficult to optimize a theme design for IE6. Are you using a custom theme? If so, look at the header.php file that comes with the default BP theme and make sure that you’ve included the calls to the ie6.css files.

Also, here’s a thread that about IE6 issues that may help out: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2262#post-14161

I said this in another thread about IE support:

Getting themes of any platform (not just WordPress) to work in all versions of IE can be frustrating and tricky at best, impossible at worst. I would focus on optimizing your users’ IE experience on IE8 and IE7. Some designers are not even supporting IE6 anymore. I wouldn’t even worry about IE5.5 Of course, this is only my opinion.

@Gpo1: Zend is a popular PHP development framework. This plugin would enable that framework within WordPress. So unless you’re a programmer… it wouldn’t do a whole lot for you. If you are a programmer… it could make plugin development easier… which is pretty cool. Correct me if I’m wrong guys. That’s my rudimentary understanding.
