BuddyPress.org

This isn’t as straightforward as it seems.

If you know your way around WordPress, here’s one way of doing what you want to achieve:

The favorite count for each activity item is stored in the activity meta table (wp_bp_activity_meta). So you could probably query the DB and grab all the “activity_id” sorted descendingly by the “favorite_count” meta_value.

Then you could use a BP activity loop and use the `include` parameter to add the activity IDs you grabbed from your WPDB query.

Single WP: Settings > General > Membership – check anyone can register

WP Multisite: Network Admin > Settings > Settings > Allow user registration OR Allow user account and blog creation (can’t remember exact words )

@kumaraneks Welcome to BuddyPress.

Many of your requirements are available out-of-the-box with BuddyPress. Some others are met by plugins. Test drive BuddyPress at http://testbp.org/ to see available features.

BP requires a solid WordPress installation – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

BP Components like Forums, Groups, etc. – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/
and https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/buddypress-forum/
and https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/group-settings-and-roles/

Your theme’s block of code for main navigation is from line 94 to 113 in http://pastebin.com/w0cGZvji
If you are using wp_nav_menu feature, you can easily add links to your BP Component pages in Appearances > Menu area.

when admin post on wordpress, post also appeared on BuddyPress activity, as admin’s activity.

how to prevent it? how to hide admin activity?

Try this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

FOR THE TEMPLATE FILES

Open up activity/index.php (one of 13 files transfered by the template pack process to your on demand theme folder)

At top, replace

`

`

Then you do this for the next 12 template files.

But ensuring a certain theme is always used for new blogs? is that the question? If so in wp-config add

`define(‘WP_DEFAULT_THEME’, ‘myCoolTheme’);`

There was also, and still is, a useful plugin for managing various default settings for new blogs, think this works up to 3.0 but not 3.1 but may be wrong:

No worries @mikeytrooper, we’ve all been there before. Post the page.php first and let’s work from there.

EDIT – My bad, now MY face is red. I missed the reason why you wanted to post the header.php — for the navigation links. I can help you there as well.

== that is what the instructions told me to do ==

@mikeytrooper I wrote the walkthrough and it specifically states page.php or index.php, and content of page.php is what I asked you to paste in last paragraph https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/integrating-buddypress-into-on-demand-wordpress/#post-95018

@ds123 I have had a client site run with this set up but I was not involved with the web server or other technical details. I would suggest you post on the WordPress.org forums, perhaps at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced, and ask for information or advice on running WordPress in this way.

Pretty much all the WordPress server advise will apply to BuddyPress (as it’s just a plugin, after all!)

== I am going to paste my header.php in the pastebin.com ==

You’re welcome. But why header.php? The structure you’ll be imposing on the BP template files transferred to your active theme will be coming from page.php

You can do this a regular WordPress plugin. What features specific to BuddyPress do you need? Or get a premium theme like this: http://wordpressqa.com/instant-qa/

@mikeytrooper let’s take it here, better than in my profile update page

== I just have one more question I am looking at the on demand html and I don’t see the style.css I was wondering if you knew if it may be under a different name. ==

Not quite sure what you mean. Go to On Demand theme folder and open page.php with text editor and check HTML structure as I noted in the walkthrough. Your style.css file should also be in that theme folder. Like I mentioned above, last time I tweaked On Demand was a year ago. Though there must have been some major revisions to the template files since then, surely there’s a page.php and style.css file in the folder.

If you want me to check out the structure, copy contents of your theme’s page.php file and paste in http://pastebin.com/ and save. Post the generated URL here.

You’re welcome. Cheers.
