Yes thanks @modemlooper that has been suggested but I asked a question in regards to whether it requires the usual wordpress plugin info (plugin and author uri’s etc) or not?

I’ve just put the file in with my theme – this is how I develop everything to start with on wordpress and never fails. This just means its always hard coded for my testing purposes rather than being a plugin.

So it should just be bp-custom.php on it’s own in the plugin folder? There is no special code like in wordpress to give the name, uri etc?

I had looked at the buddypress info you linked to originally and found it lacking in information, it seemed to assume you knew how to develop a buddypress plugin without actually explaining if its the same as wordpress or different.

If the case is you cannot hardcode any buddypress code outside of a plugin I shall try a custom plugin, if you could possible answer my previous question of the plugin info code for me? Is it the same as wordpress or does it have to define it is buddypress?

Thanks for the info but even cutting and pasting your code into my file doesn’t work, no tab appears in my menu.

I’ve never built a buddypress plugin before so I don’t really know how to set one up – is it the same as making one for wordpress or not? Currently I’m just working with a test file within my local wordpress/buddypress set up, exactly how I test my commercial plugins before actually developing them within the wordpress plugin format.

Since this doesn’t seem to have any effect – IE, the code you gave does nothing, does it have to be within a plugin already, unlike wordpress which simply has to be accessible? If so, could you possibly link to a buddypress plugin guide (If different to wordpress itself) As I could not find a clear one myself?

Thanks kindly,

Versi

The hosting site says 5.2. I don’t know that I can upgrade it as I never actually installed it.

The htaccess file just says “# Do not remove this line, otherwise mod_rewrite rules will stop working
RewriteBase /

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress”

uhm… that’s not the patch I applied. This patch @mercime is suggesting is newer. It’s not always a good idea to use patches from upstream, there might be incompatibilities. Like you say, you don’t have all the files

I used the patch attached to the ticked: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/4510/4510.patch

I suppose for now it’s ok to use the patch I used, in the new version of bp the patch will be included automatically.
