BuddyPress.org

Try https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

I created my own child theme for Buddypress following those instructions.

“incorporate an article/post slideshow into the Thematic theme”
Getting the slideshow to work is more on the WordPress side … if you’re making a slideshow of the posts/articles in your site. BuddyPress doesn’t have anything to do with the slideshow … unless you’re making a slideshow of BP Gallery images or members or groups, etc.

Furthermore, since you’re using the Thematic theme (which has a BuddyPress-compatible version/adaptation), might I point you to the Thematic Forums since they can assist you better in choosing best slideshow/plugin for your site http://themeshaper.com/forums/

Ok guys here is what I found may work. If you implement the two additional plugins into your site, you should never see the wp-admin page while using a buddypress site.
1. Be sure not to disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing in Buddy Press settings. You want to link both the buddy press and word press site together
Now for the rest of the settings
2. Install Absolute Privacy
Under settings: Lockdown the site and Block admin access. For the “Redirect Non-logged in Users To:” part: enter your Login page permalink for My Login
3. Install Theme My Login
Under settings for Theme My Login: Put a 0 for Page ID and ensure the other 3 check boxes are selected, Pagelist, Links, and Stylesheet.
NOTE: In order to log out from your wordpress control panel you will need to click the link at the top left of your wordpress control panel to get back out to the buddy press site. You should still be logged in as your user in Buddy Press. Simply chose log out and viola you should not see the wp-admin. Test it out by entering a fake username/password, you should bounce back to buddypress login screen..
Same thing with the login procedure. You will need to log in through buddypress and click on “edit this entry” to get back to the wordpress control panel.
Another layer of wp-admin lockout may be to create a redirect for wp-admin and wp-admin.php
ALSO: It doesn’t seem like Buddy Press Sliding Login Plugin works with this setting so it may be wise to disable that feature. Be sure to backup, as results may vary. Proceed at your own discretion.

Same problem here. Running WP 3.0. Deactivated all my plugins and swiched to deafult WP theme before installing. I get the same message both when I upload via ftp and with a direct install through plugin search. I found this link but it didn’t really make me smarter http://hungred.com/how-to/sufficient-permissions-access-page-plugin-admin-page-update-wordpress-30/

Help please!

@govpate – check the latest version – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/
Which reminds to me to check out the latest update Btw, the code I posted above works at least in WPMU install and WPMU upgraded to WP 3.0

My opinion 96 mb minimum…if you have a lot of plugins and traffic (mine is set at 128mb).
I’m using this plugin with BP to help figure out usage and I hope it will help you too:

Hi guys, I have a similar question, although with a different source. When I click any of the by buddypress automatically created buttons on my site, I get an url with “wordpress” in between. Example: http://www.beijingbikes.com/wordpress/members

I don’t know why this is happening, because in my settings, I set http://www.beijingbikes.com as the homepage (and not http://www.beijingbikes.com/wordpress). Therefore, when I click “home” it shows an error message. Also, my webstore doesn’t add the wordpress tag, so its definately bp related. Please help!

Thanks
Ralf

You can try setting the memory limit via wp-config.php first:

If that doesn’t work, then do what techguy says.

Your problem with locate_template could be your leading slash.

Try without and see what happens:
locate_template( array( 'library/components/buddypress/buddypress-postloop.php'), true)

locate_template() is a WordPress function, so any bug with it would be a WordPress issue.

The issue at GoDaddy shared hosting is that only so much memory is allocated to WordPress or WP/BP. On shared hosting, you aren’t going to get the performance you would on dedicated for VPS. I experienced incredibly slow load times with just WP, never mind BP on GoDaddy. I would move to a WordPress friendly host, like MediaTemple, who’s Grid Service offers up to 100 MB of php memory. You’ll need more php memory than 1and1 or GoDaddy offers in their shared packages to run BuddyPress. I’m already crapping out with Memory errors on 1and1, who won’t allot more php memory on a shared account. I’m assuming the same for GoDaddy. I’ve now moved 5 clients off GoDaddy with WordPress sites due to slow load times. They claim you should use WP-SuperCache to serve cached pages, but even then, the first time any user loads a cached page, it takes 3 to 5 seconds. From page to page to page, you’re crawling. I may be incorrect in saying that every user would experience that issue, but it could be accurate too.

Hi James,

Just set your front page as “Your latest posts”:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel

See if that works for you.

Do you have WordPress Single-User or Multi-User installed?

I did this and my base wordpress installed blog added to the blog directory and become a blog by everyone who have registered. How can I remove the main site in the directory and how can I not make this as everyones blog

Hi modemlooper, I tried what you said. Actually in my theme it was exactly like you stated. However, after editing in wordpress theme editor, nothing changes…. what can be the problem?

This currently isn’t possible.

Such a feature has been mentioned before and is on a list of requested features, so hopefully something will materialize in the next few months.

I would check in the BP plugin repository: https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/

Is this plugin what you’re looking for? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-real-names/

And this plugin does the exact opposite: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-usernames-only/
