BuddyPress.org

Why wait? I think it could be tossed in easily with a if has nav and use the old li links as an else. It’s not like it’s some crazy functionality, it’s built into wordpress and added with minimal fuss.

If it’s not in 1.2.7 I’ll write a tut. 1.3 probably won’t be around for months.

Did you ever find a resolution to this? I am looking to allow site members to update their profiles in BP, ideally have it sync with their WP profile, and publish the WP contact info in a “roster” type page, where the contact info is only visible to a logged in member. I have BP set up, and the WP profile roster page set up, now I just need the profiles to sync…

Gotcha! Here’s how…
1- Enable “Hide Main Theme Nav”, “Add WordPress pages/menus”, “Add Buddypress components” and “Scroll with pages”.
2 – Go to “Sizes & Position” and adjust the “Overall navbar width” to the width of your template.
3 – Play around with “Vertical offset” and “Horizontal offset” until you get it positioned about where you want it.
4 – Save settings.
5 – Now go to “Appearance” > “Menus” and select the WP3 custom menu you want at “BP-WP-Navbar Menu 1”
6 – Click “Save” at “Theme locations” and “Save menu”
7 – Check your site and refresh a page.
8 – Repeat, lather & rinse until you get it “just right”.
9 – Have fun!

I’m not sure which way is better, seems lots of people have done great jobs.
Here’s a tip I took as guiding to start my bp customizing journey : http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

After registered the widgets and created the new page template, style the widget area. Create Pages you need to use for bp compoents (activity, groups, members, …) ,choose the new page template.
Use Custom Field Template plug in or other means to write contents and bp loops in the widget areas. Custom Field Template says its php code is experimental, but my blog doesn’t have problem with it.

Another way I want to try but not tried yet– copy bp componets pages and add widget in it. Not sure if this can be done or not.

Use wp_deregister_script():

There are a bunch of tutorials out there.

Here’s one:

How to disable scripts and styles

@nahummadrid check out both plugins by @modemlooper

I’m having the same problem.

On an older (v. 1.2.5.2) BuddyPress site on it’s own WordPress (3.0.1) install I was able to upload avatars just fine.

Now, on the latest BuddyPress (v. 1.2.6) driven subdomain on a WordPress (3.0.1) network site, I’m having this upload problem. The error message specifically is:

“Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /group-avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

Seems like a bug in the latest version. As @BionicClick pointed out above, this very site (buddypress.org) has the same problem!

Please, there are problem to download WP-fb-autoconnect from wordpress site as you can see in a note on “justin-klein-com”, it says:
Note: As of November 18 2010, this plugin seems to’ve mysteriously dissappeared from WordPress.org. I’ve e-mailed them about the problem, but they’re notoriously slow at replying. Hopefully it will be resolved and available for download again soon.
Someone please can send it to me by email?

there are several plugins you can find on wordpress.org plugins for frontend posting, there is even a buddypress frontend posting plugin around here somewhere.

you could also use http://gravityforms.com which is the premium route.

or you could do it yourself http://wpshout.com/wordpress-submit-posts-from-frontend/

ah and there is the option where you can leave access to the dashboard and just css the heck out of it to make it look like the frontend.

I like both the gravity forms and dashboard theming options.

Create a child theme and add header.php into it. Then wrap the BP components including bp_nav_items in conditional tag https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

Sure. In terms of WordPress user roles, WordPress cares only about two – admins, and everyone else. Admins can of course do everything, and everyone else can do everything *that BuddyPress provides*.

I will check into what the “blocked” role does, and if need be, I’ll patch BuddyPress. I’ll update this thread later.

Desha – good question. Paul – thanks for chiming in. What’s confusing, however, is that if I leave the “subscriber” role selected as the default for new users as part of the WP admin panel, a new user can still access the admin panel (and perform the normal Buddypress participation activities also). That said, if I select “blocked.” the user cannot see the /wp-admin console at all, but can still interact with the social/buddypress features …

Could you please provide some insight on why/how that happens?

Thanks again — great plugin!

Hi jwack: I’m using S2Member for my membership plugin, and it takes over BP reggie and sign up files in its own way, so I hesitate to respond from my own knowledge. But, I found this video http://wordpress.tv/2010/07/10/sabin-wilson-buddypress-boulder10/ by Lisa Sabin-Wilson that may be helpful for you, in understanding the page structure.

I’m reading her BuddyPress for Dummies now, but I just started and so am still, basically, a dummy;-)

good luck!

It will fit most any theme with some modification to the HTML and possibly CSS. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Try renaming your plugins folder to “pluginsoff”. Then try to access your wordpress admin. If you can then access the admin then change the plugins folder back to “plugins”

the problem for us IS with the theme. we were using the simple wp communty theme which may mean its a compatabilty issue between buddypress and a wp theme. the odd thing is that it worked for the past two months. its not a plug in issue. we could reinstall buddypress and wordpress but we’re afraid we’ll lose all site content.
