BuddyPress.org

But I’m working on version 2 http://modemlooper.me/buddymobile-2-0/

I know WPTouch 3 has some improvements with only loading it’s own theme and files to lessen the loading times but it’s still the full WP theme getting swapped out for another theme. This is how nearly all the mobile plugins work.

You can edit the BP templates to make them fit into WPTouch or other mobile themes.

more of a wordpress question then a buddypress question.

maybe this will help?

This snipped section from the link mercime provided, as can be seen it states existing instals using the bp-default theme will still use it it’s not going to suddenly stop working but changing to the theme compatibility process is in best interests.

If you are already using bp-default, either directly or as a parent theme, don’t worry. BuddyPress 1.9 will detect that you need bp-default, and will continue to register it with WordPress. Note that if you switch away from a bp-default theme (say, for testing), the theme will disappear from Dashboard > Appearance. If you need it back, add the following line to your bp-custom.php file:

add_filter( 'bp_do_register_theme_directory', '__return_true' );

There is also a plugin that does this. It’s old, but it still works:

I am not very happy with the fact that bp-default is going to be a past, I like that theme

@4ella I understand where you’re coming from. I have 7 customized bp-default child themes to convert 🙁 It was good while it lasted.

As for a WordPress theme to use, seeing that you are a do-it-yourself themer, I would recommend creating a child theme of the Twenty Twelve Theme or creating your own version of _s theme http://underscores.me/ or rolling out your own WP theme. Twenty Twelve and _s are responsive and mobile-first. The difference between the two is that the Twenty Twelve theme gets updated if necessary each WP release while for your _s theme … I don’t know when they update the theme or where they post the changes so you can update your theme accordingly.

@hajhaj there are different ways to implement a new layout for all BuddyPress pages. Check out how it was done for the WP default themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/

Hi Guys

Got a solution to this, just run this query on your wordpress database.

insert into wp_usermeta select null,ID, “last_activity”,”2013-12-12 08:24:52″ from wp_users

You will need to set the time and date to something you want but keep it in the right order.

@craigola Do you mean you want to set up different account types and that one kind is that for children? If so, have you checked out https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/

@4ella since you’re using the BP Default theme, please be aware of http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/

Going back to the issue at hand, your main navigation links are showing up that way because of the responsive style included in the BP Default theme:
lines 43-50 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8.1/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css#L43
lines 211-221 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8.1/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css#L211

Hi @willandmae,
Unfortunately I don’t have much, if any experience with this problem, and I don’t have any current sub-directory installs.

From a quick search, it appears as though some of your cookies are including the path for the blog (such as the test-cookie), but not others.

Also I noticed that the test-cookie was not set when I visited the home portion of your site. Not sure if the code is still in place in bp-custom, or if something else is blocking it.

You could try a plugin, such as Root Cookie and see if that helps.

Sorry I don’t have more experience with this to be able to give better info.

Hi,
a solution here (in spanish).
cheers

@pmuktan Nearly all WordPress themes are compatible with BuddyPress. You just need to activate BuddyPress, then configure the BP Components/Pages/Settings. We don’t have access to the premium themes, but if Themeshift has the_title and the_content within the WP loop in its page.php file, then you should be good to go.

@yoyoma1974 what theme specifically are you trying to make compatible with BP? Hard to guess why you can’t make the changes using CSS or some functions in a child theme, etc.

We have some new articles with regards to making sidebar appear/disappear at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/ like on the Twenty Eleven theme. However, if your specific theme is not using the methods used in articles therein, you might have to follow up with the theme author or hire a developer to help you with the sidebar.

It was coded a specific way (to have efficient db access) in the beginning and slowly over its life there have been changes to make it more WordPress in design. Using CPTs just hasn’t been dealt with yet. The main focus in the past have been making it work without WP multisite and adding theme compatibility. There have been some work on component APIs and creating admin UI for accessing the site content. The code base for BP is huge so it takes time to make those types of core changes that won’t break existing sites. Also it takes coding hours. Everyone who contributes to BP are all volunteers so, it is when these people have time to give that things like CPTs may happen.

Trust me, CPTs for BP content types has been a major discussion in the past and will likely be in the future.

@shanebp is right. If you want to buy a theme, buy a good wordpress theme. You don’t need a buddypress theme since they should all work work with buddypress out of the box.

The point is that the creator of a premium theme stands behind their work and will answer support questions. These questions may be specific to the theme and how it works so they are the best person to ask.

If you have a generic question, you’re welcome to ask here.

I’ve made a Trac. to get easier customization for this ‘problem’..

It’s set for BuddyPress version 2.0

@shubh14 ,

@mercime is right. It could be a plugin conflict.

I tried the same thing on my local site and works completely fine.

You can try it by deactivating all other plugins and switching to default wordpress themes. If still the problem persists than you should contact the support forum @ https://rtcamp.com/support/forum/rtmedia/

Or you could just make your own theme and throw in the php 😉

The following tutorial changed my life forever and I’ll never look back to the days I used much of the dashboard page editor at all:
The ThemeShaper WordPress Theme Tutorial: 2nd Edition

Also just take a look at this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user;

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

Then you can do:

$current_user->user_login instead of wp_get_current_user()->user_login just in case. altho I think both would work.
