BuddyPress.org

I use this on my site to show a different single.php. I have a folder mobile in my theme folder with my mobile templates. I copied single.php, removed the get_sidebar and then added css when on mobile to style it better. This code works in functions.php.

`function mobile_filter_wp_template( $template ) {

$overridden_template =  dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/mobile/mobile-single.php’ ;

if ( is_single() && wp_is_mobile() ) {

return load_template( $overridden_template );

} else {

return $template;

}

}

add_filter( ‘template_include’, ‘mobile_filter_wp_template’, 10, 2 );`

`function mobile_style() {

if ( is_single() && wp_is_mobile() ) {

echo ”

<style>

body {

width: 100%;

}

</style>”;

}

}

add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘mobile_style’);`

Use WP is_page to set conditions to specific pages https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page

You should set up WP fully first checking all aspects of a standard WP install work correctly, when that checks out proceed to activating BP and doing so with the default theme initially to establish BP is set up correctly and working fully only them move on to activating a third party theme.

Are you doing it on a live site? Is your Theme BuddyPress compatible. For BuddyPress 1.6.x, the BuddyPress features are only available to BuddyPress enabled theme. In BuddyPress 1.7, BuddyPress automatically supports all themes(but 1.7 is still in beta and not recommended for live site).

You will need to configure BuddyPress before it comes into action.

Look for the notice in the Network admin. If it is not there, just click Network Admin-> Settings->BuddyPress and you should see the configuration wizard.

Hope that helps.

@p2ab BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory per your link above https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements

Hi,
for me it is the same. Searching just returns posts from wordpress but nothing from BP.
Is there a setting for BP that enables search through posts and comments from BP?

@unsalkorkmaz please note that I have edited one of your posts above. No personal remarks/attacks are allowed in this forum.

I appreciate that you want to give users as many features as possible with your theme and I understand your frustration. Having said that, the WP Theme Review Team Admin already noted which he considered plugin territory starting here https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2013-March/012183.html and more so for the TinyMCE buttons later on the thread.

I supported you in the Author URL in the same thread. While I don’t agree with the TRT Admins 100% of the time, I support them 100% in the above-mentioned plugin-territory discussion. My unsolicited suggestion is to remove the items listed above which are considered plugin territory from your theme and create a plugin specifically for the theme e.g. Firmalite Theme Booster or Firmalite Add-ons or whatever you want. Further suggest submitting a revised theme while your theme is still up in the review queue.

Firmalite is the 13th in theme review queue as I write this. We’ve cleared many of the backlogs the past week and there are reviewers doing some reviews this week. Know that all of the reviewers are volunteers and also know that way sometime ago the waiting time for a review was 3-4 months.

Thank you for your patience.

It isn’t a people issue … it’s a key point to accept this dev. strategy. WordPress is a large framework, you have to accept the rules …
The current wp editor will be just a plugin too, that will be better, but that’s an other point 😉

Hi, I resolve (ubuntu server 12.04, apache2) this problem as follow:

1) Execute the setup wizar of BuddyPress after the plugin activate

Tip from https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

2) Move the plugins\buddypress\bp-themes to wp-content/themes and set the pretty permalink. I’am using the month + name.

Tip from http://wpmu.org/buddypress-now-supports-wordpress-single-user-no-wpmu-required/

3) Set the Apache2 mod_rewrite with

# sudo a2enmod rewrite

and change the option AllowOverride of None to all in the file /etc/apache2/sites-avaliable/default

…
`
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all`
…

Tip from http://www.lavluda.com/2007/07/15/how-to-enable-mod_rewrite-in-apache22-debian/

That’s not a BuddyPress error.
It’s an error from the elvito-bp plugin.

You might try asking the plugin author:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elvito-bp

I suggest you ask them to read this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/plugin-development/checking-buddypress-is-active/

Also – imo – that plugin is lacking basic security.

I’ve also run into this… it’s not clear from the debugging page if a resolution has been found though?

Maybe this could help:

This worries me, as I cannot do this every time there is an issue like this on my site. I still do not know what was wrong.

I empathize. Of course nobody’s expected to do that at all. Did you read the requirements before installing BuddyPress at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/ ? Have you been installing WordPress via webhosts’ scripts?

@ronia Check out the Events Manager plugin by @netweblogic https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/ Has BuddyPress support!

As for Media plugins compatible with BP
1. free – BuddyPress Album – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/
2. free – BuddyPress Media – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/
3. premium – BP Gallery – http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/

>>users cannot communicate with, see each other, or even know other users exist). Only the admin will have the privilege of viewing profiles or commenting on users’ blog posts.

@bg01 As I see it, you don’t even need BuddyPress especially with the configuration you posted above.
– Just create a network (go multisite)
– allow students to create own blogs or create the blogs yourself and add student/user per blog
– make all sites private (Super Admin can see anything and everything)
– post comment on each student’s blog post.
If you have any issues with your multisite installation, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Alternatively, you can have one single WP site. Make it private, no feeds. Set access of all posts in front end and back end to Site Admin and respective post Author in custom WP theme. Only Site Admin can post comment in all posts.
If you have any issues, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

In order to get this working, I had to reinstall WordPress entirely. This worries me, as I cannot do this every time there is an issue like this on my site. I still do not know what was wrong. I hope this issue, what ever it was, gets fixed in the future.
