“I am using buddypress but are there any plugins for bp or wordpress that will do what I want?”
Nope. Not that i know of.

“I would also like it if when users clicked on their name it brought them to a full profile page with a list of posts underneath..”
Not sure what your asking here, it sounds like WordPress does this by default with their Author Archives?

“Im looking for a plugin that will provide a list of my authors with a short profile..”
If you require it in a plugin, you might need to hire someone to do it. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/

WordPress has a function called wp_list_authors()
(see: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_authors)

By default, it will link to the WordPress Author archive, i just used the ‘author_link’ filter to make the author id go through `bp_core_get_userlink();` which will make it link to the User’s BuddyPress profile.

read: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.2/wp-includes/author-template.php#L273
and: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.2/wp-includes/author-template.php#L224

@bigjosh – their are some privacy plugins that will allow a user to choose who can see their details
such as: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-privacy/

If it’s possible to wait afew weeks, this feature has also been written for Core, to be included in the next major release (bp 1.6) Here is the developers announcement of the feature – http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/profile-field-visibility-in-bp-1-6/

@starprintbrokers Go to BuddyPress > Pages and check if Registration is still associated with a Page. If it is,resave page. Don’t know why that’s acting up with Salutation theme. If you change to bp-default theme, does the register issue also happen there or is it resolved?

And did you go through Appearance > BP compatibility process? It looks like you have not finished with Step 3 – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#step-three – where you need to fix alignment, then keep the bp.css enabled and adjust some styles to your theme.

@artisantopia Per scan of your theme’s HTML structure, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Alyeska theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

== I am using custom admin bar from wpmu dev ==
Please contact wpmu dev for support or post at https://wordpress.org/tags/custom-admin-bar

Doesn’t look like there’s a filter you can us before it makes the query. You could filter the query itself — bp_activity_get_user_join_filter — however, that’s obviously not the most robust solution.

If you make an enhancement ticket for this issue on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/, we can address it in a future version of BuddyPress. Thanks.

Yes as mercime says don’t delete anything just yet, deleting and re-installing is seldom really required.

With the Salutation theme you have chosen quite a tricky framework to get ones head around, at best it’s confusing until you have spent a bit of time with it, but results do look quite nice and it appears to integrate well with BP, one thing to bear in mind with the theme is that it does allow you to export all the configured layouts and template includes so if you have started building, configuring layouts then check where the various export options are and save them then if necessary you can re-import them to re-create your custom changes.

@yadigit – The official way to remove it is via adding the tag ‘buddypress’ to your theme style.css comment header (the section where you tell wordpress your theme’s name).

eg.
`
/**
* Theme Name: My Themes
* Tags: buddypress, awesome
**/
`

Theirs also an internal config line that you can add to wp-config.php or plugins/bp-custom.php
`define( ‘BP_SILENCE_THEME_NOTICE’, true );`

@sarbanharble looks like you’ve not completed Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process for members, groups, activity and registration/activation pages- https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#step-three

Based on a quick scan of the HTML structure of The Unstandard theme, you can use the 2nd method per link above to fix alignment of the BP template files – i.e., create necessary content/files header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and/or footer-buddypress.php and upload these to your theme folder – instead of the 1st method which involves changing 16 BP template files.

@starprintbrokers before deleting everything. Follow my instructions in my post above to change to bp-default theme etc.

Sanity check: When you said you activated the “default theme” in your first post, did you mean the WordPress default theme Twenty Eleven or the bp-default theme? It should be the bp-default theme. And if you’re using Twenty Eleven or any other WordPress theme, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

Now if you are using the bp-default theme, go to BuddyPress Pages again and double-check that BP components are indeed associated with respective pages https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/bp-installation-wizard-08.gif

If that doesn’t cut it, https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

@nsbalgcom I see you’ve installed the BP Template Pack plugin. Now you need to fix the alignment within the BP template files to be compatible with your WP theme WPSN – via 1st method of changing 16 BP template files or via 2nd method of creating only the header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and/or footer-buddypress.php.

Initial scan of online source code shows that you need only to implement the 2nd method and adding some styles to fix the alignment of your theme. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#fixalignment

@b1gft If that slider by aesthetic can be added via widget area – check out http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress

The plugin BuddyPress Groupblog at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ MAY go some of the way in answering your queries.

” The BuddyPress Groupblog plugin extends the group functionality by enabling each group to have a single blog associated with it. Group members are automatically added to the blog and will have blog roles as set by the groupblog admin settings.”

== every single table in my database says pressfix ==

BuddyPress did not add any pressfix in front of your table names. Check your wp-config.php file to see what prefix you added to your tables. BP creates _bp_ tables in your database. It also adds BP options in wp_options table https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

I’ve installed – re-installed, manually modified DB’s, a hundred times and never had anything remotely like this happen especially not caused by BP. BP doesn’t cock up in this manner, table prefix sounds like something your theme has done.

As for fix? try renaming your tables back to the wp default ‘wp_’

This question is best suited for the wordpress.org support forums as it doesn’t seem to involve BuddyPress.

Just for clarity- you do know understand that in the event that bp hasn’t created pages or you get that message that associations are broken it’s a manual process to create those pages before navigating back to BP pages to now find them available in the selection dropdown.

With Saluation – if memory serves – you may need to go into each of those pages created for BP use and ensure that you have selected ‘buddypress’ in the layout options sidebar custom field.

@babray add to the equation that Group Forums will be migrated over to Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin)
