BuddyPress.org

Hey guys-hoping you can help me figure out what I’m doing wrong…if I can’t hide or remove the “community” tab then it would seem to be a pretty simple concept to change the order of the tab, but no luck with the above…not that php or css savvy but the instructions here are pretty straightforward so any help is appreciated!

Using latest wordpress version and just installed buddypress yesterday so I would assume it is also the latest version.

My website is http://www.defendersofturntablism.org

I added the line `define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘preferred_default_tab’ ); to wp-config.php above ‘//MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host **//`

Created bp-custom.php in plugins folder and added

`function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav = 10;
$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 40;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );`

Unfortunately all this has done is add the above line of code to the header of my site…can anyone help me figure this out??! Seems like it should be very simple. Ideally I want to have see the community tab go away and have the members section contain the buddypress activity, groups, forums, etc.

Thanks in advance!!

@kookidooki WPMU is old school and has been merged with WordPress way back version WP 3.0. If you want to allow your users to create blogs, you’d have to create a Network (go Multisite) https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

I would suggest deactivating BuddyPress and other plugins, plus changing to Twenty Eleven theme before creating a network. Please make sure that your multisite installation is working as expected before activating BuddyPress again. If you have any issues going multisite, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Best place for this is https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org — log in with your username and password from this site. If you’ve got a patch, or more specific details on exactly what you want added, attach it to the ticket

Use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/

@ouyagamingsource to make your Alyeska theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin, the go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process as you’ll see https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

You’re in luck, we’ve helped another person some months ago with Step 3 for the Alyeska theme at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/customising-alyeska-theme-for-buddypress/

If you have any issues re Compatiblity Process, please post at that thread.

== I am not sure if i can get away with the creation of the three “-buddypress.php” files or if I need to modify the 16 files and which code I need to copy. ==

@ahmedselim IT all depends on the HTML structure of your WP theme. You just cannot copy the code given for other themes because each has distinct structures and in all probability, not applicable to your theme’s. Have you looked if your theme is listed among the template-packed themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

I already have a plugin my friend and it is free.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-friendpress/
I can customize it to your liking for some beer money lol!

Then check the other fields. Here is a copy of one of my local sites wp-config.php:

Nice list. Can I recommend @modemlooper ‘s extended settings plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-extended-settings/
And BP FriendPress:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-friendpress/

I just noticed a comment about BP FriendPress plugin. The answer is yes it is still supported. The stars rating system on here does not work accurately because there is no way my BP Buddybar back is scoring higher than my BP FriendPress plugin so instead of looking at stars go on WordPress and search for support for the plugin. If you see no support issues it is a good sign the plugin functions correctly.

Please please stop posting this on multiple topics. If you haven’t had a reply yet, it means no-one’s sure what the fix is.

How did you install BuddyPress? What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using? Do you have a bp-custom.php file (if so, what’s in it)?

Turn resend.php into a page template and place it in your theme folder. create a page and attach the page template to it
