BuddyPress.org

Honestly I searched for Social Networks CMS ( EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF) Unless you feel like paying 200 bucks for a program or a download link buddypress is the way to go..
Buddypress is very simple to edit and change…

As far as Privacy settings go.. yeah I know buddypress lacks that but it’s REALLY easy to create your own type of plugin to handle the privacy settings, or even script it in.

At times you don’t get a reply, but other times you do. When I did get a reply it helped out a lot.
Perhaps learn some PHP or how Buddypress and WordPress works.

Or just download Elgg and let me know how well that goes.

Best of Luck.
Ps. Buddypress ROCKS

Did you by chance install WordPress through a one click host install?

To make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Also, please check out this info before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

@benstacey Please give info per my post at WP forums

@videogamerznet don’t know if you’re using stable or beta. In any case, just so we’re on the same page and to move this discussion forward, open up your theme’s updated header.php, copy code, and paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated pastebin.com URI here. Do the same for your theme’s updated sidebar.php, footer.php, index.php and page.php

You can attach images to Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin) via https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

As for attachments for Group Forums, old plugin has not been updated for BP 1.5

My BuddyPress, a bp-default child theme, has not been updated for version BP 1.5

Compare the header.php of the My BuddyPress” theme to that of bp-default theme’s header.php where the old links in My BuddyPress have not been updated, among other things.

You could start off with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/ then have to add on the codes for the additional functions that you require, or hire a developer to do so.

@videogamerznet no problem. Where did you download your Arras theme – site URL? There are different sites which do that and I want to know which version you have activated.

@allentan there’s something awry with your installation if you keep giving me the code for the Group Directory Index when I ask for your Clearphoto theme’s index.php file. Assuming you have the original zipped file of your Clearphoto theme, I suggest that you delete the clearphoto theme in your server via Appearance > Themes > Clearphoto – delete. Then reinstall Clearphoto for a clean slate.

Activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Again, for a clean setup.

Then download BP Template Pack folders in your theme’s folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration

Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Clearphoto theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`

So, you want to allow your ‘Subscriber’ role to access your backend to post ‘posts’, right?

Their are lots of wordpress plugins that will help (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/roles) such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

#1) – If the user clicks on the date of an activity item re a blog post, the user is brought to the single blog post .
– If the user clicks on the date of an activity item re a forum topic, the user is brought to the forum topic page
– If the user click clicks on the date of other activity items, the user is brought to members/single/activity/permalink.php page. You could add HTML structure just after get_header as well as just before get_footer.

#2) You can tackle that by adding something this at the bottom of your stylesheet:
`div.activity-header p a.activity-time-since {
clear: left;
float: left;
margin-left: 15px;
margin-top: -30px;
}
.activity-inner > p:first-child {
margin-top: 20px;
word-wrap: break-word;
} `
Adjust to taste

@locustfist To remove “Members” tab on Group Pages, per @boonebgorges BP 1.5 update: add the following to your theme’s functions.php
`function locustfist_remove_group_member_tab() {
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( bp_get_current_group_slug(), ‘members’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘locustfist_remove_group_member_tab’, 15 );`

To get rid of the member count of the Group Directory Page
– download groups-loop.php from here
– change line #61 from ` / ` to “ thereby removing the member count
– upload groups-loop.php to your server wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder/groups/groups-loop.php

Add to “nav”; is this.. a WordPress Menu? Something custom implemented in your theme? Hardcoded HTML in your template?

And which Dashboard link, where?

BuddyPress was originally built for WPMU. For some reason, we’ve got a bunch of username registration code inside BuddyPress itself (we should let WordPress take care of that) — which was based on WPMU — which is why this restriction exists, even one single-site BuddyPress.

Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4057

Download copy of permalink.php from bottom of this page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/activity/permalink.php

The http://dethuletræ.dk/forums/forum/forum-2/ goes to 404 page. Did you previously create the additional category and topic from the backend or frontend?

Before anything else, to prevent the blank pages and 404’s on BP pages, you need to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress by installing and activating the BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

== as soon as I mad the site MultiSite, it still has the BuddyPress registration form, but the users aren’t being added to the main site as members, just the network membership. ==

That’s the default WP way when you go multisite even if BuddyPress is deactivated. To get assistance regarding this matter, you should post at Multisite forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

You’d have to tweak your theme’s single.php, archive.php, index.php and/or loop.php and change regular WP author template tags to that of BP user template tags as seen in bp-default’s index.php, single.php and archive.php for example.
