BuddyPress.org

== 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.

Sell me on it. What does your theme do that couldn’t be done with any of the hundreds of the free bootstrap themes and a quick click of a button using the template pack plugin? What value does it provide that i couldn’t get from a free theme?

Free WordPress bootstrap themes i could use.
rootstheme – http://rootstheme.com
wpbs – http://320press.com/wpbs/
+100 others

So, i ask again… What’s in it for me? What do i get for $10?

Overwrite styles from parent theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css#L501 in your child theme

Firebug, a Firefox add-on, can help you inspect the element and change the style you need.

>> , It shows a Blank Page for Register, Activity, Group… etc. How can i fix this?

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

Also, go to dashboard BuddyPress > Pages and make sure that BP components are associated with “Pages” in that panel.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

Install wordpress on your server.
Once done, hit the Plugins -> Add a Plugin tab and type in buddypress.

Download and install and you’re good to go

That is taken from @modemlooper‘s bp-columns which is a child theme of bp-default but with a second sidebar…

@boonebgorges wrote the following recently http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/45682/7401 which seems relevant to your question…..

The article only mentions Networks + to enable multiple networks which is a premium plugin.

There is also a free plugin, by @johnjamesjacoby, to enable multiple networks https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/ but that apparently is no longer compatible.

It has been patched ( http://alantait.net/2011/07/27/wp-multi-network-plugin-fix-for-wordpress/ ) and @johnjamesjacoby mentioned in the comments of that page ( 12/02/2012 ) that he planned to update it soon…

@hatiro this is a known bug that is being worked on.

This ticket is the one they are currently using to track the issue if you have any additional information that may help them – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3908

A popular way to do this is with a plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=search+bbpress

Some integrate the bbPress search with the WP search, some keep them separate; both ways make sense on different sites.

@videogamerznet you should know that we are volunteers here living in different time zones just trying to help out.

– WP/BP versions? Linux or Windows hosting? Single WP or WP Multisite?

– What do you mean by “I think I got that down”? Can you write down the steps you made to install BuddyPress and BP Template Pack plus include information about the exact errors showing up and when, and what you mean by “things are collapsing” and “some pages won’t show up its crashing down”?

1. does the privacy plugin by Jeff work with BP 1.5.4? Has anyone ever tested or enhanced it?
It doesn’t work. (properly) Yes, afew people have ‘enhanced’ it. Have a look at @modemlooper‘s privacy plugin – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-profile-privacy/

2. Is there ever going to be a core privacy module ever for BP? If yes, then in which version can we expect this?
Yep. It’s already coded and is set to be released in 1.6 (next major update)

Have a look at the Trac ticket that details it – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695#comment:10

“I think when prioritizing the tasks for upcoming release, this should of the highest priority. Things like theme/css bugs and changes, minor bugs can be ignored. This one feature will make this software complete.”
I disagree. Features should NEVER come before bugs… i hate cockroaches all over my site

If you have created a child theme of bp-default theme:

1. copy over create.php file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/create.php

2. open up create.php, and above line #99 add: ` `
and then after line #106 add: “
so that you, the Site/Super Admin can create hidden groups if you want to

In effect, the hidden group option would look like this now:
`
<input type="radio" name="group-status" value="hidden" checked=”checked” />

`

3. upload the file to your child-theme-folder/groups/create.php

I can only confirm that issue was resolved in BP 1.5.2 with this fix https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5338

I don’t know if the bpfb short code is anything to do with BP Activity Plus or not, but it may be work contacting its authors directly for supporting and letting them know about the problems when viewing it in an RSS Feed. That’s not something we can fix in BuddyPress core (obviously).

Thanks for the feedback about the RSS feeds, I made a ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4082
