BuddyPress.org

The buddypress.org theme was created by John.

It will probably not be publicly released, though if you have experience designing and developing WordPress themes, it shouldn’t be that hard to replicate the look and feel.

Wordpress stores language in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot

Friend, and variations (including plurals), appear many, many times…..

PoEdit is free software designed to make editing language files easier….

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/faq/ might suggest where the problem lies, if it’s that plugin and it’s compatible….

There are snippets of code circulating on this forum which can lock down buddypress in a similar way.

There is a login and sign up button on the admin bar, but it won’t let me go to any activate page (although the slug could be different

Are you sure the plugin is compatible with bp 1.5.

Buddypress private community fails in https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/ isn’t even mentioned…

It asks me to log in (or register) – Back to hiresphere takes me to your front page but anywhere else goes back to wordpress login….

If I type /activate at the end of the domain, which on my site gives me the activation page, on your site, it redirects back to wordpress login – hence my question about ‘privacy’ plugins or code. That could be overridding it?

At the Admin Dashboard select Settings then the Permalinks subsection….

Buddypress does not work properly with the ‘Default’ so select something different.

Save Changes.

If wordpress can’t write to the .htaccess file, it should tell you what you need to manually copy and paste.

The main .htaccess file is normally in the top level of the directory where the wp-config.php file should also be…. In some file systems it may be hidden…

mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.

See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

WordPress 3.2 uses a newer version of jQuery that conflicts with the JS in BuddyPress 1.2.x.

Alter your /bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js to reflect the following:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&new=4450%40trunk%2Fbp-themes%2Fbp-default%2F_inc%2Fglobal.js&old=4349%40trunk%2Fbp-themes%2Fbp-default%2F_inc%2Fglobal.js

At the end of the day, this is a support site for BuddyPress. Us opening up groups for third-party plugin support was an experiment of its own, and a successful one I think. We put your plugin and support information in one convenient Group as opposed to mixing all of them together with tags like WordPress.org does.

That said, there is nothing anyone can ever do here that will give it more emphasis than BuddyPress itself. I actually think its great if you outgrow your space here, as it means you’re doing well and being successful, fostering an essential part of the BuddyPress ecosystem.

I like the idea of eventually having a popular plugin page. If that happens, clearly BP Media stands out. I think the best way to keep things running smoothly currently is to focus on BuddyPress core development and support, and iterate on the third-party plugin experience for what it is.

It’s documented in functions code.
– Build a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– To change header height/width, create a functions.php in child theme folder and apply filters per https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L91
– To change `#header h1`, in same child theme’s functions.php you’ll override parent theme’s function (lines 213 to 270) at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php with:
`function bp_dtheme_admin_header_style() {
?>

// add/revise styles you see in file

<?php
}`

Before going through the theme compability process, you have to go through the proper installation of BuddyPress through the wizard first, hence no BP Compatibility link in Appearance dashboard menu.

Before going through the BP installation wizard, make backups of your database and server files first. If you’re using the same server where BP ‘crashed’ the site, then there’s a possibility it could crash again, or it might not crash since there have been major code improvements already.

Please do your backups now.

my plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/ is compatible and has been for a while now. The version they tested on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ was an out of date version. how can this be rested and updated?

Their’s lots of plugins that do that. Have a look at the plugin directory.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/

Or; code it yourself.

just paste the code into your bp-custom.php file and modify to your needs.
