ParticipantI’m going to continue writing here as it seems to fit right now. I’m going to outline how I’ve approached BuddyPress theme development at my last iteration. Hopefully someone can see where they could jump in to help contribute to the creation of a new theme.
Concepts
Concepts have always been tough, I usually miss out some important aspect of the design. Like if I was designing a concept for the activity streams, I’d leave of the threaded comments aspect of BuddyPress. However I’ve gotten good at outlining some of the features in the concept stage. Usually I take a BuddyPress install using the Twenty Twelve theme and copy all of the components into a Photoshop document and cross-reference design like that.The concepts would be an iterative process, with the wealth of templates in BuddyPress designing them all in Photoshop first is very desirable but not very practical. I would love to have the time to really design all components in Photoshop first before moving into code.
Templates
Taking any Photoshop concepts and making them into templates usually is a static process for me, I’ve done the activity stream page design in Photoshop, I then use a boiler plate I have to rough out the html and css of this page. Again and iterative process. If I had 1 Photoshop file to work with, let’s say BuddyPress registration, I’d do the template of that in raw HTML and CSS.BuddyPress
Taking those templates previously coded has been a bit of a pain for me, I write markup differently to how the bp-default theme shipped, so it really is a case of building these files from scratch. Dropping in the loops, the BuddyPress function calls and actions at each template iteration. This leaves for problems, but I’ve got it down well now and know how BuddyPress works. So it’s like building a WordPress theme on steroids. I’ve even spent a while taking the bp-default theme and removing all the markup it shipped with. This makes building new BuddyPress themes a whole bunch easier to shape. Although I’m still not perfect at this.Iteration
The above workflow procedures have served me well in getting off the ground with BuddyPress theme development but they haven’t taken me the whole way. I end up failing to use the CASCADE that CSS offers and ultimately reside to the fact I have to repeat my self lots with CSS.The repetition I don’t fear, but the labour involved really does effect the overall fun in development and really the theme that had so much potential when building the activity stream and registration pages becomes a hard slog to getting something that works. Photoshop concepts suffer in design and the code suffers from bloat (hence my whole piece about designing all the concepts first).
That’s it, in a nutshell. 🙂

Participanthey @henrywright,
Why do you suggest the footer as opposed to the header? What is the difference?
I also have the footer.php in my child theme folder. I removed the “Powered by WordPress” footer so currently there is no text as my footer if that makes a difference at all.
Thanks

ParticipantHi,
I’ve read your post over the past couple of days as I was having the same problem and trying to find a solution after being stuck for weeks without any solutions or replies.
I’ve finally found a solution that works for me and I hope it works for you.Deactivate BP 1.9.1 and delete it from your WP-admin page(I am not sure if you will loose your registered users etc – I didn’t). Go to the following buddy press link
and download version 1.8.1. Install under your plugins section, activate and test to see if it works.Hope I helped, cheers.

ParticipantI can confirm nathandboyd’s solution above.
I had the same problem with activating registrations and adding “www” to my wordpress URL in the wordpress settings did the trick.
Thanks!

ParticipantOkay i made it to where anyone can register now but when i click on the “The following active buddypress componets do not have associated wordpress pages:Activate, Register” it takes me to the pages setting in the BuddyPress plugin but when i click on the register and activate dropdowns there are not pages for register or activate. Do i just need to make blank pages for them or what?
January 18, 2014 at 12:19 am #177105Sarah Gooding
MemberDo you have registration open in your WordPress settings? Go to Admin >> Settings >> General and check “Anyone can register” to see if that fixes it.

Participantso only wordpress, buddypress and 2012? if that’s the case i would still try 2013 and 2014 first but at that point i would be seeing if it was a server side issue by trying the same scenario on another server.

ParticipantIt’s no longer working. Another clean install of WordPress and BuddyPress.
Any ideas?
2 members created, administrator (members were not showing upon creation) and another test account. After login, still not showing.

Tecca
ParticipantBP Default still comes packaged with BuddyPress, and it will for a while until it’s phased out. By then we’ll be seeing the theme on WordPress.org, though I believe there’s one already up.
Add this to bp-custom.php to have it show in your WordPress appearances:
add_filter( 'bp_do_register_theme_directory', '__return_true' );January 16, 2014 at 8:08 am #176993Globetrotter12
ParticipantHi! I must admit that I love buddypress. But the activity page has not been well thought for the common usage. I agree that being able to collapse comments easily would be a huge step forward for the plugin. It should actually be in the options. Another option that is a MUST is the possibility of making updates the default, not everything.
Without those, Buddypress is not going anywhere. With those buddypress would be a revolution.
I have looked for info everywhere and nothing worked for me. I really love the plugin, you guys are awesome but please consider those two elements as usability necessities. It’s not just details.
I am running with everything updated wordpress, buddypress everything. Please help, anyone, peers?January 16, 2014 at 5:52 am #176989In reply to: Alphabetical Members Directory

ModeratorSounds like i’m doing the same thing as you. See this tutorial which works very well. I use a modified version of it everywhere on my site – to load more posts, load more members, load more messages and even load more search results. Hope it helps.

ParticipantIs there any update on this? I’m a WordPress expert, but just starting to dabble into Buddypress. I’m experiencing the same problem and tried applying the patches, but it didn’t seem to fix the problem. I’m using the Huddle Theme (Purchased), also having same issue with Frisco Child Theme.
Any timeline on 1.9.1 roll out?
January 15, 2014 at 4:46 pm #176965Ben Hansen
Participantif you are talking about editing the regular wordpress profile fields from the front end the same way you edit the extended buddypress profiles that may be part and parcel with a feature i am currently lobbying for for 2.0 which is the merger of the two, both fronted and back.
if that’s something you’d also like to see or is what you are trying to accomplish then i would urge you to enter this code patch as a ticket in trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org
and while you’re at it please take the survey for any other input you have as far what you’d like to see for buddypress 2.0 i believe today’s meeting is where the new features will be scoped so the next few hours could be the last chance to give your input:
also if you want to attend the devchat itself it’s held on irc at 20:00 UTC every wednesday on the channel #buddypress-dev
if you do not have an irc client you can use the web browser version here:
hope to see you there!
CORRECTION: the feature scoping has been postponed until next week.
January 15, 2014 at 4:21 am #176949In reply to: The Best Cache'ing solution for BP?
Asynaptic
Participantbecause of its nature (membership site where content differs depending on being logged in vs. logged out content) the best caching solution for buddypress is partial page caching (aka fragment cache), something that sort of exists and sorta doesn’t.
my suggestion is to take the BP survey and to add your voice for it so the developers know there is real demand:

Participantyou can find your version by click the little wordpress logo in leftmost position of the top admin bar. your question lacks the necessary details to give much specific help but it sounds like there maybe be an issue with your theme or a plugin interfering with the normal registration process. those are probably somewhat dangerous to be messing with if you don’t know what you’re doing but you can try deactivating your plugins one at a time or switching to the default wp theme to see if you can isolate the issue. Some themes will lose certain settings when you switch but most good themes should not.
