BuddyPress.org

If you are using the BP-Default theme you just go into your WordPress Admin panel, go to Themes, choose “Editor” and you should then be able to find what you are looking for in BuddyPress Default under;

Main Index Template
(groups/index.php)

This file should be where you can rename those few things, among others, though you really should create a child theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) to add any such changes or customizations with in order to future-proof yourself so that when a new version of BuddyPress is released it doesn’t overwrite your own custom changes to the code.

Don’t forget to save the changes to the file before you proceed, and be extra careful as to what you are making any such changes to when doing so!

If you mess it up you can always pull a fresh file from another copy of BP-Default and upload it to the correct place on your server and just start over from scratch.

Good luck!

BuddyPress ships with fully customized bbPress 1.

Re BP 1.7: As Paul, a BP core dev, mentioned above it’s the customized bbPress 1 which will be phased out, the Group Forums will be kept but will be moved to the Sitewide forums (bbPress plugin). See bbPress Settings where at the bottom of the panel, there’s a section specifically for BuddyPress Group Forums https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-swforums-03.jpg?w=700

I’m having a similar issue. Everything worked fine until I upgraded WordPress and Buddypress day before yesterday to:
WordPress 3.4.2.
Buddypress 1.6.1

Now whenever someone posts text the whole page is displayed in the text box for a couple of seconds and then the page makes like it’s going to save, but hangs white. If you stop or refresh the page whilst it’s hanging this is displayed infront of the url http://wyciwyg://62/

I’m using the custom community theme, but have tried using the default them and it still does it. The only person that doesn’t have this problem is me when I’m logged in as admin. All other user levels have this problem though.

I did add bbpress forum after upgrading and have tried deactivating that, but that didn’t fix it. Posting in the forum works fine though.

Any ideas on how to fix this please?

Do you mean 1.6? As in BuddyPress 1.6 and BuddyPress 1.5.7? If so, then I’d check in 1.6 as things probably got fixed if a known bug. Alternatively if testing shows then same issue then please report via trac.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4155 seems to indicate it does work though.

Yes, i searched not only on wordpress.org but also on google.
I Didn’t find anything.

Many people are searching this function.

Thanks

To change slugs you change the page name and URL for that page in the WordPress admin. To change all instances of the word you create a language file

Languages and Translations

The ‘BuddyPress’ string is used when BP cannot find a site name from the database.

Did you name your site under the “Settings > General” screen in WordPress?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen

Are you using multisite?

This should be fixed in the latest trunk version of BuddyPress.

However, if you need to fix this for BP 1.6.1, apply this change to your 1.6.1 install:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6332

If that doesn’t work, let us know.

@bjwangschowe Yes, for BP, it is Admin and everything else. There’s of course the Group Admin/Mods which are limited to the Group Forums only.

I’ve heard of people building this for their own sites, but I’ve not seen any plugins that offer this. But I haven’t search through wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ to check — have you?

You can have 1 BuddyPress per WordPress network (a standard multisite gives you one network). You need to enable it sitewide, and set up the configuration from the root blog (the blog with ID = 1).

You do not need to enable multiblog. I wish that setting didn’t exist.

@neekolaus – you can build a directory site with reviews on top of BuddyPress.

http://plazaa.de (built by Poolie) and http://enterprisenation.com (our own work) are good examples built on BuddyPress.

You would use WordPress custom post types to model the studios, with BuddyPress handling the user accounts. The custom posts types can be integrated with BuddyPress based profiles giving you a seamless experience. For ratings / reviews, GD star rating is one of the more complete plugin solutions.

Unfortunately, it’s not something you could tackle with basic web development skills – it would require fairly advanced PHP, WordPress, BuddyPress knowledge. We’ve built a number of bespoke directory type sites, but I don’t know of anyone providing a good ‘off the shelf’ solution (yet!!).

It has been done with 5 star rating system here: http://kaformedia.com/site/user-rating-and-reviews-plugin-rate-user-by-profile-wordpressbuddypress/

Of course a point system you can create with cubepoints https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews

This works like the plugin reviews on this site. Example: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/reviews/

You can turn groups into “Studios” by creating a language file and changing all instances of Group/Groups to Studio https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/

Can WordPress even handle multiple authors of the same post by default? I’m quite sure it cannot.

Are you using the Co-Authors Plus plugin? If so, that plugin comes with some template tags that you could use with that Code Canyon plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/co-authors-plus/other_notes/

You could bug the Code Canyon author to add BP support as well.

Jessykuh – Try navigating to your WordPress Menu screen to manually add the trailing slash:

Hi I have the same problem,

When I try to click ‘Activity’ ‘Members’ or ‘Groups’ on my menu, it says ‘profile.php’ can not be found on my server. However if I add a ‘/’ to the end of the link or if I click on the pages elsewhere, it works fine. I’m not sure how to fix it on my main menu though.

I have re-installed BuddyPress and WordPress already and nothing changed.

Can someone please help?

My website is http://www.fosterfriends.org

Not aware of any, but you can search on wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

If they’re not letting you upgrade WordPress to the latest secure version, why do you consider your data safe? Find a better host.

@djpaul is right but have at it at your own risk:

Edit:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/developers/

@a-swede-in-greece there are two BuddyPress Media plugins which have own forums
– BP Media plugin -> https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/
– BP Media Component plugin -> https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/ and click on support tab

== blog- as well as(or) a business directory plugin which we can ad ==
I assume you mean external blogs. Try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/screenshots/ or adapt it to fit to your needs.
