There are no plugins that does what you need at this time. You can post the job offer at

@starprintbrokers Salutation is supposed to be a BuddyPress-ready theme, therefore you do not need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin nor go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. If you did, deactivate Salutation and delete the theme, then re-upload a clean copy of the Salutation theme but do not activate it yet.

Change to bp-default theme, then go to BuddyPress > Pages. For each component that does not have a Page yet, e.g. Activity Streams does not have “Activity” page across, click on “New Page” button and the Page will be created. Do the same for the remaining components in the section. You associate each page to each component and click “Save All” button at the bottom of the section.

Check that each BP component page is working. Then and only then do you change to Salutation theme. Btw, do confirm with theme author if Salutation has been upgraded to work with current BuddyPress version.

go to your /wp-admin -> plugins -> add new.
search Buddypress Template Pack.
Install it, and run it.
Follow the simple steps…
All should work well.

== Buddypress seems to have written over my wordpress database ==

@roclimb BuddyPress creates tables in database and does not overwrite WP DB tables..

Just deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins from wp-admin. If you cannot access your wp-admin, rename buddypress plugin folder via FTP/sFTP or control panel in server. See also https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/

@stealthology post also at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

@jakeyboy1989 from your WP forums post as well – If you just want to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress, you don’t need to create a multisite installation.

Install and activate the BP Template Pack Plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Then post back here if you require further assistance.

@strek-break you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

You can add this to wp-config.php:

`define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘conversations’ );`

That will change the slug. To change the actual text that is rendered on the page, check out the “Custom Groups Name” plugin at http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/

…and if you are feeling adventurous, go ahead and start editing your translation files!

About .pot, .po, and .mo Translation Files in BuddyPress

Your wp_list_comments() call specifies the callback as a function called “mytheme_comment”, which is probably in your theme’s functions.php file. You’ll need to use these functions in there, or modify what you have already.

For an example, look at the code block just below the phrase “You will need to define your custom callback function in your theme’s” on https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments (get_avatar is used six lines from the top)

There are some ways to get content copied from one site onto another, but I think they are all pretty clunky. Your content should be written and published on your user-facing site, and that’s where you’d be best to track things like blog posts.

I’d have a careful think about if tracking your authors’ activity gives much value to the other users; after all, anyone can read the posts that are published in the actual website. You can create a second site
(or multisite site), and have that site as the discussion area for your authors. Specifically, consider using the ‘P2 Theme’ on it, which you can find for download on WordPress.org.

If you’ve gotten the top-level pages to work and access BuddyPress content, I can’t understand why it wouldn’t also work everywhere else.

Your original post says “second BuddyPress install”; are you trying to run two separate BuddyPress sites under one installation of WordPress (multisite)?

WordPress’ get_avatar() should work fine. For post/page comments, I would actually suggest using get_avatar() instead of bp_core_fetch_avatar() so that your site doesn’t break if you decide to turn off or stop using BuddyPress.

B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the TOP, above all code contained within, add this
`

`

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/envision/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are in

D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.

You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your peekaboo theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your envision theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, members, groups, register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`<div class="middle” id=”ID, PREFIX.’_page_sidebar_position’, true)==1 ) echo ‘sidebar_right’;
elseif ( get_post_meta($post->ID, PREFIX.’_page_sidebar_position’, true)==2 ) echo ‘sidebar_left’;
elseif ( get_option(PREFIX.’_sidebar_position’)==1 ) echo ‘sidebar_left’;
else echo ‘sidebar_right’; ?>”>

@hnla thank you

@strek-break will post in a little while.

Would have helped to have posted that link in the first place then

The third step does require some manual modifications did you try that or are you not familiar with basic html /code?

I’m sure mercime will help shortly – but I do stress again that the help forums are not to be regarded as a service.

Please bear in mind that this is a support forum to help with BP issues and problems, it is not a coding service. People here are volunteers giving their free time to help.

You really should make an attempt to begin this process – using the template pack plugin if required – or post to the jobs board with the request and pay someone to help you with this requirement.

If you make an attempt to get started I’m sure @mercime or someone will guide you along with the process and help where you get stuck.

Also do check out the codex pages as – apart from the template pack walk throughs – Mercime has done a lot of work converting themes to BP and has an extensive list of themes that have been converted or threads where the process for a given theme exist.

== Getting Started’-type issues ==
@tilley46 check out BuddyPress Codex – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/

== How do I create a standard Home Page for my BP site ==
What’s a standard home page for you? The list of blog posts like it is with bp-default theme, Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven themes? If you want a static front page, do the same thing as you would do for a regular WordPress theme.

== I don’t see anywhere for new users to register new profiles’, etc ==
Basic WordPress, go to Settings > General and allow registration.

Do you need it to work with each MU site? Next version is in dev and will be a plugin you can activate on each sub site. You could use it for WordPress alone.
