@chuckdev
== Integrate BuddyPress/ WordPress with a program that allows payment for membership levels? ==

Yes. One that comes to mind is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/ – it has a pro version as well.

== Utilize BuddyPress Forum or Integrate another WordPress Friendly Forum.(Need to import 100,000+ posts and 4,500 users from phpBB3.) ==

At this point, I would recommend working on migrating your forums to bbPress before installing/activating BuddyPress, Big project as there’s no direct import script from vBulletin to bbPress 2.0 yet, more of vBulletin to phpBB to bbPress stand-alone then to bbPress 2.0 the WP plugin. I can be wrong, so do post your query over at bbPress forums https://bbpress.org/forums/ and log in with same username and password used here.

@mrscooches You’re right. It was not in the theme’s settings. I found it in
custom-community/core/includes/theme-generator/theme-generator.php
The easiest way is to delete or replace the footer credit in that file. Look for `

@purplefilm BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin. Same method to use when moving WordPress, read these

Firynze’s issue has been resolved https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/themes-broken-after-1-5-1-upgrade/

I’m with @dosch – setting it up on an IIS7 Server with WordPress 3.2.1 network (subdirectories) and I assume it will only work on the root blog, since when I tied in the functions to pages it kept taking me to that blog to create the pages. But I only see the Buddypress menu (not at the top, but at the bottom now) when I’m logged in as the network admin.

That *is* how it’s supposed to work. When you upgrade a WordPress plugin like BuddyPress, everything in the plugin folder is deleted and overwritten by the new content.

Language files should be stored in wp-content/languages (if you don’t have that directory, create it), where they will not be overwritten during upgrades.

I was using this theme and LOVING it…and then I upgraded to Buddypress 1.5.1 this morning, and I’m told that something’s broken.

Frisco for BuddyPress The parent theme is missing. Please install the “bp-default” parent theme.

But the parent theme appears to still be there; I’m really confused as to what’s going on. Any tips, coming from the creator of a great theme?

@echiomega basically,
1. Go to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags.
e.g. BP 1.2.9 to BP 1.5.1, note Rev# of BP 1.2.9 == 4610.
2. Click on 1.5.1 link.
3. In new page, at the bottom left area click on “View Changes” button.
4. In new page, change From: /tags/1.5.1 to /tags/1.2.9 and change at revision: 5242 to 4610.
5. Click on “View Changes” button.

Check out Appearance > Theme options > Footer

Hi,

I have setup WordPress MU with BuddyPress across the network. I am facing same issue. My Activity tab is redirecting to home page. Even, when I click on any member’s name it does not take me to his profile and instead redirect me to home page. Any idea why is this happening. I would be very thankful if you guys help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you used the first method (changing 14+ BP template files) for Step 3 of BP Template Pack compatibility process and missed a few template files. The instruction has been updated on which files to change from 10 files to 14 or so files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Better yet, you might want to consider the second method for Step 3 of compatibility process. Examples of second method:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/

There is this

If you’re still using Custom Community 1.8.3, they have a new BP-compatible version out Custom Community 1.8.6 at the WP Theme Repository. Theme devs give support in their site themekraft.com

Thanks for the details, @rossagrant. I’ve created a Trac ticket for the dev team to look into it. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3683

Strange thing, Platform is tagged buddypress in WordPress Theme Repo so I would asume he had knowledge of the basic BP template files so he would give at least some support for the layout . You should contact theme dev for assistance.

What’s missing is Step 3 of the BP compatibility process where you have to tweak either the BP template files transferred to your platform theme folder or create header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#fixalignment

You should ask on WordPress.org; after all, BuddyPress is just a plugin

No way to do this in core. Raise an enhancement suggestion ticket on https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org

Can we see a screenshot of the pages tabs of your BP settings?

You need to create pages in WordPress, and then associate them under Buddypress -> Pages

Bless,
Chris

Apparently the pack is currently broken with the current WordPress version (3.2.1).. Until it’s fixed, anything we should do in the meantime?

well, I just met your post by chance and the word author attracted me to read it, as I’m myself a beginner writer, who have exactly the same combination as you describe, WordPress and buddypress
I can say all you want exactly can be done by buddypress, all that features you mentioned are built-in without any need for plugins, but for few options there is this plugin wanted:

subscribe2 ( if you don’t have already )
subscribe to comments ( like in wordpres )

for the theme, I may suggest the default theme which I use, or the new Frisco theme.
for media need, of course the new buddypress media or bp-Album

perhaps other friend can give you more details, have a nice day
