BuddyPress.org

It opens up social networking and other things besides yes. Where the menu item is though is down to the theme and also up to you if you edit files.

You do not have to change the look of your blog you’d use the template pack to allow your theme to work for BuddyPress. There are some files you’d need in your theme but the template pack solves that.

Hi. The same problem…. @zfrost Could you solve it?
Sometimes the ads appear and sometimes not. I tried most of the plugins for adding google adsense to wordpress, and no ones works fine.
I also tried to put the code in to the right sidebar with html text and nothing…
Any idea?

I sent updated themes to WordPress repo and they should be accepted any day.

On the profile tab? Query a loop on the profile.php template file to out put that users posts. Google how to loop through WordPress custom posts.

Suggested for version 1.6 (eligible for 1.5.1 if someone contributes a patch):

Not a BuddyPress issue. You need to query a WordPress loop for that user and post type. Curious as to why you chose custom post type and not a BuddyPress component?

That’s not it. Search on codex.wordpress.org about widgets

Not a BuddyPress issue. You add widget areas to a theme just like you would to a plain WordPress theme.

I created a custom post type and comments posted on those pages does not appear in the activity stream. Any ideas on how to include them?

Using BP 1.5.

Thanks

The activity/post issue is known and has been fixed for BuddyPress 1.5.1 (not out yet). In the meantime, either do this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5187/ or include the default theme’s javascript into your theme.

$content_width is a standard WordPress theme variable and mainly controls the width of embeds and other media such as images. You’ll see it set something similar in any well-written WordPress theme.

What theme are you using? Are you using multisite? What’s the name of the subdir that you’ve installed WordPress into?

There shouldn’t be an issue with gravatars on BP 1.5.

Give it a shot on the BP test site – http://testbp.org

Did you enable gravatar support on your specific WP install?

Please test on a dev environment first!

Just so you’re aware, there are a few 1.5 bugs that have popped up regarding multisite installs:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3602

A ticket is already filed for this:

A dev just needs to get to it when they have the time. Just got to twiddle those thumbs for now!

There are two ways to resize the width:

1) Set the “maximum embed size” in the WP Media Settings Subpanel

2) Set the $content_width variable in your theme’s functions.php

`if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) {
// Change 640 to whatever the width of your column is
$content_width = 640;
}`

Hey folks, I’m lost here. I have Fishbook installed with BuddyPress, and the only time I can see the admin bar (whatever menu name you want to give it, the one with My Account, Dashboard & Notifications) only shows up when I scroll down.

Currently, 0 plugins installed, I reinstalled WordPress, then BuddyPress then Fishbook, and the issue remains. I did the trick of moving the header.php file from the BP Default folder into the Fishbook folder (by the way the above file names are no longer correct since BP 1.5) but with or without the header file, the issue remains. I remember testing out BP several months ago, and I didn’t have this menu problem with Fishbook then. I vaguely remember having to install a plugin to customize the menu buttons, specifically for Fishbook, but I can no longer find that plugin.

Let me know your thoughts, thanks a lot.

@Flora1234 Couldn’t you re-install your wordpress through http://yousite.com/wp-admin/update-core.php ??
If that’s what you want then you can just click on the re-install link. Also you won’t loss your plugin, but i do suggest you backup your database just in case.
