BuddyPress.org

Send me a PM, I’ve been working on this by making a BP child theme for Mystique. I’ve done the hard parts (adding stuff to nav bar) but was just going thru the HTML parts (the grunt work).

We can merge the work.

for wp and wpmu, because your site is one of both. BP is only a plugin collection, NDD !

“Settings > Discussion” is only applicable to WordPress blog comments.

BP doesn’t offer threaded comments in the forum.

It could be done via a plugin.

Not sure about the cropping avatar issue.

I disagree. Yes plugin authors SHOULD do that, but WordPress plugins should be able to declare a parent plugin that must be active. That way, when BuddyPress is deactivated, my Welcome Pack plugin is deactivated automatically. It also protects against plugin authors who do not know how to do this properly; either through lack of PHP experience or ignorance. There’s a whole range of WordPress plugins out there, and some are really well written, and some are really poorly written.

It’s not up to WordPress to deal with this, it’s up to plugin developers to write their plugins so they don’t die if BuddyPress is not present. I’ve put the code all over the codex for this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/checking-buddypress-is-active/

did you use this plugin?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/

if so and that caused an error – can you drop me a message with what happened so I can fix it? thanks!

I’ve spent the last couple of hours using the compatibilty pack to get everything lined up – by matching the HTML layout.

It was quick and dirty but now it all fits fine and my sidebar is present (although I’d like to remove it from the buddypress specific pages). To be honest I was surprised I got this far!

Problems:

1. How to get the Nav buttons on the bar? or somthing like. Personally I’d like a ‘Socialise’ Button with Mystique drops downs for the buddypress components I use.

2. Forums don’t work. If I load up the default theme they work (although I can’t create a topic) but through Mystique I just get a black white page.

Any thoughts? If I send you my email address any chance I can have a look/ at what you’ve done?

Plugin dependancies is a WordPress-level issue, and well-written BuddyPress plugins can silently quit if they find BuddyPress is available.

Nope, I’ve got it down pat right now. I was working on it again just the other night, as I’ve had to go back & redo all the ones I took screenshots of.

My only dilemma right now is whether to release it as a child theme (of the original WP theme) or a forked theme. Hrm.

Hi,

This was an issue with looking for spam and deleted fields in the db. They were not there in wordpress install so I removed this contraint. I just checked in version 1.1.8 to fix this.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Andrea_r,

I am too trying to get bp to work with mystique, it looks like you made some excellent progress. Do you need any assistance or is there anything available for download yet?

I really appreciate the help.

Finally a buddypress user gallery plugin that’s free and works with 1.2.

Just a question though, will it work with wordpress single, or isnt it tested with it yet?

I’ll do the Dutch translation by the way.

@xevo Generally, I agree with you but there are reasons other than user blogs for using MU. It’s often practical to use blogs for specialty purpose (as we have on our site) while still not allowing user blogs. We have 4 indiv blogs with unique functions. It may be possible in a Single setup but the power of doing it within a blog is compelling.

MediaTemple is the best choice for wordpress related hosting needs it also suits for Buddypress also

If you are not afford thier package then you may go for HostGator , i found it the best one after mediatemple for Buddypress hosting

@muratk

MU doesn’t add tables for every user. It only adds tables for another blog.

If you don’t need user blogs, don’t use wpmu.

Wpmu was created only for that purpose.

the answer is certainly WordPress. If giving blogs to your users is not a must WordPress is the pnly answer.

Why? Because MU adds tables for every user and you get a huge database at the end. You will need a VPS for MU at least.

@Ann Christine

Did you configure the SMTP plugin correctly?

Here are some instructions:

The email bug on the BP site I was working would not send any BP email to a GMail account, but would send to all other email addresses. I thought it was semi-related to the issues you and ruthlessbookie were encountering.

I ran into a similar issue recently on a BP site I was working on.

I used this plugin:

with a Google Apps email account.
