BuddyPress.org

@tcbroonsie Please share the names of the two themes which did not work with BP 1.7 theme compat so that we can be prepared if others using the same themes post here with the same issue. Much appreciated.

Easiest test -> activate BuddyPress and check BP pages using Twenty Twelve. If it’s working as expected in your installation using Twenty Twelve but does not work with a WordPress theme you activate next, then there’s a problem with the theme. Either theme author has rewritten WP templating system or added layer/s of abstraction which prevents BP template parts from showing up in that theme, etc/

As for plugins, starting off with the Theme Check plugin – if you see any WARNINGS and REQUIRED issues showing up after you run the theme check, then it’s possible that the theme might not work with BP

Check out Theme Mentor plugin as well https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-mentor/
It’s a relatively new plugin and has some false positives but it’ll help you out.

I use login with ajax plugin. Works well and has a widget.

I am having a similar issue.

I am using WordPress version 3.5.1, and BuddyPress version 1.6.4. I have no other plugins installed. Both the WordPress and BuddyPress installs are clean and brand new. I am also using the default BuddyPress theme, though I did set up a child theme which contains only a style.css file.

Every link on the site works EXCEPT the the Profile > Edit link on the user page for the current, logged in user. When this link is clicked, I am taken to a page that says: “Page not found; We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page that you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.” The url in the address bar for this 404 page is “http://mysite.com/members/user1/profile/edit/group/1/,” and I am not sure if this is correct.

The BuddyPress setting ‘members’ page slug was saved correctly. I am not sure what other steps to take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am having the same issue with the friend button not doing anything except spinning but this also extends to most similar types of buttons like deleting/favoriting/commenting on activity posts. nothing happens.

Is this an ajax problem? i have read through this thread but cant see any good answer to the problem?

wordpress version 3.5
buddypress version Version 1.6.1

Is there any limit to the amount ?
This is typically a wordpress question. BuddyPress is only a plugin for WP.

are most buddypress enabled plugins compatible with 1.7?
BP is still in beta and feedbacks are low at the moment, so you have to test this yourself like we all do actually or wait the stable release and give some delay after for the same reason

This seams to still work, just tried it:

As far as I got that a template pack will no longer be necessary in BP 1.7.

That´s the big deal now, it´s becoming absolutely theme independent and therefore will work out of the box on EVERY wordpress theme. (That has the “the_content call”, of course.)

So actually, giving BP it´s own Login and profile editing pages wont be as much work as it would be with the previous versions. Also a page where users can manage their post comment subscriptions would be great. Ask me, I might have another 400 ideas here 😉

Maybe ?!!! Yes….

Did you read the ticket indicate in boone’s post ?

Hi,

Hi

Can make a plugin for Buddypress so that the forum sends private messages to group users. This will then cause the notification system to pick up the message and show it in the grey WordPress/Buddypress notification bar. Your forum notification problem solved for only £15.

Let me know if you are interested and we will build it

You don’t have separate sites. Use the same install. Use htaccess rewrites to show a different url when on mobile and a different theme.

If you don’t care so much about the url it’s easy to show a different theme at the same url. This is the preferred method now. At one time having a dedicated subdomain for mobile was the way but google frowns on this and your links are confusing.

url.com/item should be the same url no matter what device. You just display the content accordingly.
