Btw, where are you hosted?

== … a page with directories and registration that have drop down menus to create new pages to associate or pick an existing one. I’m not sure what to do here or if I made a new one what to call it? ==

If you had a default installation in BP 1.5 before upgrading to BP 1.5 and did not create Pages which have slugs like that of the BuddyPress components, then choose the corresponding Page in dropdown per BuddyPress component if it’s there.

You’d have to use the first method of fixing alignment in the BP Compatibility process to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. The first method involves changing HTML structure in the 16 files as listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

A. Download the six BP template folders which were transferred to your adventure-journal theme in server down to your computer hard drive.

** We’ll explore if the adventure-specific template tags will work within BP. It will spout errors if it’s not working, so we’ll have to delete such template tags. But if no errors show up, it’s good to go.

B. Starting with activity/index.php, open it up and at the top of the file, replace:
`

`

with
`

`

D. Save file and do the same to the remaining 15 files per list linked above except for registration/register.php where at the bottom of the file,
replace:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

with
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

E, Upload the six folders to your server wp-content/themes/adventure-journal folder

Thanks Paul, I was in the process of putting on my boots to go find me some ah ‘dem har tires to kick! I am very much a newbie and do understand the frustration but that energy could be more productively spent. Anyway, Boone did a couple great Buddypress presentations which can be found on WordPress TV. Also, there’s a Buddypress for Dummies book. Both provide good foundational material even though neither are up-to-date. But I think that’s awesome because it means we’ve got some very committed people in this community who are intent on continuous improvement.

OMG, finally a support site that’s worse than what you get at Drupal.org…yes, I too can’t find my way around here. No wonder everyone uses the ’90s-looking phpBulletin software for a forum! Can’t believe this BuddyPress is from the same folks behind WordPress — but then again, maybe the WordPress site was a mess at first, too….

Part of the problem is that everyone’s (that is, everyone “normal” and not on Facebook all the time) expecting a standard forum with an orderly hierarchy whereas this BuddyPress way of doing things is…chaotic.

looks like a bug
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-activity.php#L57

Suppose to check for an existing activity keying off the blog id, post id, user id, etc and then it updates instead of inserting.

starts with bp_group_join_button https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php#L1507

shows up via bp_directory_groups_actions in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/groups-loop.php#L57

@im3sna No worries, I get what you mean. What theme are you using? If you are using a WordPress theme, then you have to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the compatibility process.

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Please.. i need help… don’t know how to get my way around here..
how do I change the front color or the background color of buddypress in wordpress theme? How can i extend membership sign up questions?

tHANK YOU

This plugin is currently working with my latest version Wp/BP site:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blog-topics/

Note, however, that I did have to custom code a way to display the sites per their topics (I added that to the default BP blogs directory):

http://www.riotcart.com/shops

What version of BuddyPress are you using?

But Profile Search does not work with WordPress 3.2.1?

Looks like you have not completed Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

In your case, you have to use the first method – i.e. changing 16 BP template files – to fix alignments and spacing – per your questions #1 and #2 above.

Download the 6 BP folders transferred to your Memo theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive. Starting from activity/index.php, open this file and make the following changes:

At the very top of the file, replace:
`

`

Save file and continue with replace the same with the remaining 15 files.

For registration.php, replace the bottom area

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

Save and upload folders to theme folder

BP Media has a nice upload function accesable from the users profile, if you dig through their plugin files im sure youd find a similar function. Or are you looking for some sort of shortcode for users?

Theres also https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/screenshots/ which might be sort of what your looking for…

I just installed wordpress 3.1 and then I installed buddypress, and the Fishbook theme, nothing else, when I try to post a comment I get the same page not found error, with both the default theme, and the fishbook theme.

I’m a bit confused about this whole thing. BuddyPress is supposed to block SWT posts out of the box: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php#L163 If it’s not working, then there’s a bug in BP.

Use Paul his BP Labs plugin to make it more intuitive for the user.. it shows a nice popup as soon as someone types the @ character: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-labs/
