99% of the time, each theme has a unique resolution for Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process. So no, the different codes we posted in https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ for different WP themes.
Initial scan shows that for your theme, you only need to create two files to make the layout compatible.
sp12, you should be using the Sufusion BuddyPress Pack plugin with the Suffusion theme rather than the BP Template Pack https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/suffusion-buddypress-pack/
Hi all,
I have an odd issue. Until very recently I had the Buddypress Admin Bar disabled on my site with “define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true);” in my wp-config.php, and have recently decided to give it a go.
My registration page is at ohdratdigital.com/register, and sends a prospective user to a signup page. However, if I change ‘true’ to ‘false’, or remove the code, then enable ‘show bar to logged out members’, ohdratdigital.com/register takes users to the actual wordpress page /register that is linked to buddypress (it says ‘this is a test page for registration’, which I think I wrote myself when trying to get my head around BP as I installed).
Changing back immediately fixes the problem… I don’t understand!
I am using s2member and bbpress, and everything is up to date. If anyone has any ideas PLEASE let me know, because I’m tearing my hair out!
Thanks,
Chris
We should. Please make an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org/. You can use your username and password from this site.
Suggest you hire someone with server expertise if you’re talking about that scale. It’s cheaper than trying to scrape together advice from forums.
100k users, one at a time, is different from 100k users visiting your site at the same time. It’s a question of concurrency, really, and what your requirements are about server redundancy and failover.
Whatever runs WordPress at this level, will run BuddyPress.
HI,
I’ve just installed the above plugin and clicked on ‘activate’ It returned a blank page. I logged out – logged back in – clicked on ‘edit this page’ at the bottom of my home page. Returns a blank page!
I’m completely blocked now from accessing my wordpress site. The only thing that works is the url still displays the site – but can’t do a thing!
Is this a virus? Has it buggered up completely my wordpress access to site managment? How can I get rid of this? Obviously will have to be done on the ISP Konsole side.
Please, please help urgent
This was cross-posted on BP trac, and the answer was provided at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4232
BuddyPress won’t be trying to load itself twice (the redefine errors), so something must be triggering part of that. It’s either BP Docs, or another BuddyPress plugin or customisation that you have.
If you disable BPDocs, what goes away?

This Plugin may help, tested on a single site, hasn’t been tested on a multi-site install. I was having the same issue, so I had this developed. Let me know if it works for you.
FYI: I submitted it to WP for inclusion in their repository, should be there soon.

how can I change the buddypress register mail? At the moment the mails is wordpress@DOMAIN.TLD, when a User is registered. I want to change it to noreply@DOMAIN.TLD…
Thanks
There is not “more than enough”. If there was enough, then you wouldn’t get the error message. Simple as that.
You can get older versions from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/developers/ but I recommend you stay up to date with the latest version.
1. Free – BP Album plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/ the younger bro of
-> BP Media http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/ – please read all docs before installing this plugin
2. Premium BP Gallery http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/
I don’t have a free account anywhere. I have three domains might be fixing to own four. I am pretty good at fixing things on websites, but in the same breath I have had bloopers too. Joomla has crashed, so has Pligg twice, and WordPress so far has done well. I run an education blog, and a website, plus have a Tech based website.
The education blog is most important because it is for teachers and students. Would buddypress be a good tool for teachers and students? Because changing out and losing my theme would not be worth it unless Buddypress has good offering tools for my teachers and students. Judging from what I have seen I would definitely lose my theme. How also does buddypress handle the blog portion of the wordpress site? Would I lose my blog also?
Currently using WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5.1
I am using the new BP registration form and am largely happy with it.
Once a user has registered they have the capacity to edit the extended profile fields from the registration, together with email and password but there is no access to the WP contact and biographical information fields. As admin I can see and edit them but ordinary users can’t.
I agree about scepticism on free hosting – I wasn’t suggesting moving the data simply trying the WP configuration with the established theme then adding Buddypress and looking at the result.
However as a newcomer to WP and BP perhaps my thinking is a bit woolly.
I dont trust my data to free hosting either but I am finding it a good way to learn what seems to fit together for my purposes.
Ah sorry thought by you saying older site no updates you meant you’d not updated WordPress either.
Well there is the template pack you can use for BuddyPress https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/. Or yes, you can go with making a child of Bp-default and that as your basis. I’d recommend creating a child theme.
Personally I’d be very sceptical over ‘free’ hosting. You are putting maybe your data on their site and personally I’d be sceptical about a free service like that. But, that’s my opinion everyone has their own.
Thanks for the prompt reply Paul.
I seem vaguely to remember using square brackets to refine general searches but now I’m not sure if that was in Buddypress or WordPress.
Is there a workaround or should I just post my topics anyway?
On registration issues I end up posting in both places because I can’t determine if its a WordPress or Buddypress problem.
Regards
Paul
If you don’t already use free hosting you might like to consider using http://www,000hosting.com or http://www.cixx6.com for prototyping changes they both have fairly easy WP installation which might enable you to set up a duplicate/development site (minus members and using their provided domain) to see how installing Buddypress will affect your theme without affecting your production site.
Just a thought.
I would like to enter meta title and meta description for each BP Group, for as many pages within each group as possible, but especially for each BP Docs page. And I would like all these pages automatically entered into my sitemap.xml too.
I’ve tried WordPress SEO by Yoast, and All-in-one SEO. Neither seems to work with Buddypress and BP Docs. Are there hacks in BP1.5.5 required to make them work? Will BP 1.6 fix these things? Should I use another SEO plugin?
All advice gratefully received – getting this basic SEO stuff working with Buddypress is driving me crazy! Many thanks.
The wp_footer() and wp_head() functions located in the footer and header files use just do_action to print all of there ‘stuff’ (meta, css, js etc).
