Hi, I’ve been building wordpress sites for about a year now so know a bit but not a lot! I’ve been approached by a client and asked if I can build him a music sharing site where local bands and djs can sign up, have their own profile page and upload and share their music. Is this something that buddypress can do? Would really appreciate some feedback from someone who knows a bit more than I do.
many thanks
Wordpress 3.3 and Buddypress 1.5…. I’ve disabled all except buddypress locally and it’s still happening…

Open up the header.php of your wp-church theme file and copy all. Go to pastebin.com and paste what you copied, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php
To make your WP theme, Delicate, compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through the BP compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
i am looking for Delicate theme for BuddyPress. can you help me to edit it or add link to download?

+ i need karma. is there any for 3.3 wodpress?
+ spoiler
There’s a plugin called “dashboard tweaks” that’s get rid of that menu, and the WP logo.
Okay for those of you that encounter the error.
1) Install WP multisite, Install BuddyPress and use enable site wide bp_default theme.
2) Make sure you create a menu in the WP menu system.
If you do not have a WordPress registered ‘menu’ then the system don’t work and you cause a PHP exception. This should be easy developer fix in the Buddypress code with a protective statement or catch all in bp_dtheme_content_nav.
Thanks for your help.
HELLO!
I need help regarding my New BuddyPress Installation. I’ve been trying to post a topic to address the same at BuddyPress.org Support forum.
Clicking to “post new topic” on support tab redirects me to community tab where all I can do is reading others’ posts.
Kindly help me know how can I request help regarding my BuddyPress site.
Thank you.

Hi! friends,
I am very new to Buddypress. I have problems in my installation. I installed wordpress 3.3 and installed Buddypress from the inbuilt plugin installer. I installed Custom community theme but when i try to create profile fields or groups on the site i got “There was an error saving group details, please try again.”. I have read somewhere that there is a table in mysql database for BP but looks like i don’t have one. I have 11 tables with wp_ table prefix but no BP table. I used softaculous to install WP. Is that true that there is no table for BP and have to manually install WP?
Thanks for any help.
The BP Template Pack plugin makes your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. Looks like you still need to go through Step 3 of the BP compatibility process. Check out links to walkthroughs at the bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
== I’m not able to remove the old BP template pack files through FTP or on the server side ==
This is a strange and serious issue which you need to take care of. First time I’ve heard it happen on dedicated server.
Yes. We’re moving to full integration with WP Toolbar nee adminbar in BP 1.6 if not earlier.
In fact, BP buddybar and WP adminbar are fully integrated in BP Trunk already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk
== it gets stuck at the step where it says that I have to manually upload to …/bp-themes. ==
This means that for some reason, you server prevented the automatic transfer of the required BP folders into the folder of your activated WP theme.
1. Download a copy of BuddyPress to your computer hard drive – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
2. Unzip, and upload the following folders from the BuddyPress folder to your server’s wp-content/themes/name-of-your-WP-theme via FTP/cpanel/FileManager:
– activity
– blogs (if you’re on multisite)
– forums
– groups
– members
– registration
3. Proceed with Step 3 of the BP Compatibility Process
I recall this problem popping up a lot when having the stand-alone version of bbpress working with WordPress which was always a pain. Maybe this is the same problem?
Always fixed the problem by fixing the permissions between bbpress and wordpress.
I am having trouble with installing. I have the latest version of WP, BuddyPress Template Pack installed and activated, and BuddyPress installed and activated.
The trouble I have is that when I activate BuddyPress Template pack, and it says it is going to walk me through the steps/compatability, it gets stuck at the step where it says that I have to manually upload to …/bp-themes. It seems it can’t move templates to the theme folder. So when I actually examine my file structure, via FTP, I look in wp-config and there is bp-themes folder to be found. So I can’t complete this step. I’ve looked everywhere for bp-themes (I do see the default BP theme installed when I choose “themes” from the dashboard).
Specifically, the message I get is: You have activated the BuddyPress Template Pack, but you haven’t completed the setup process. Visit the BP Compatibility page to wrap up. When that doesn’t work automatically, it says I have to locate the following which does not exist:
You will need to connect to your WordPress files using FTP. When you are connected browse to the following directory:
/home/healthyw/public_html/homewoodconnect.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/
Any thoughts on what is going on and how I properly finalize this installation?
Thank you.
I got this problem too. I did a fresh install of WordPress MU today, installed Buddypress and then tried to enable forums. No go. Tried a lot of things, nothing works. Also tried with bbpress, no go.
I really hope this gets fixed really really soon! This is a very serious bug.
WordPress as well as BuddyPress has little hooks that when certain actions are accomplished it will run a function. So BuddyPress as hooked in the the post hook and posts an activity update about that blog post. You probably could do the opposite but the activity update is missing some content a post would require, like the title as the activity update is just content.
Another issue would be to separate out what is considered a blog post and what is not on posting. I personally would not go this route because of user confusion. Look into using a separate post form for front end blog posting. There are many topics here about adding a front end blog posting form.

It’s really difficult to help as I don’t understand arabic and google translate isn’t much use in this situation.
It’s also unhelpful that there doesn’t seem to be an official arabic translation of buddypress ( or here or here )….
( https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ )
Does it work with bp-default theme?
If it’s the premium theme from http://www.theme-junkie.com/themes/freshlife/ then they might provide support for it on their forum: http://www.theme-junkie.com/forum/
I’m not sure if I haven’t read something correctly. I’ve updated to WordPress 3.3 and then updated Buddypress to 1.5.2 . The Buddypress toolbar is present at the front end, but the WordPress 3.3 toolbar is present in the dashboard. Is this how it is supposed to be?
Cheers,
Rob.
== when I copied the header.php file over to my new theme’s folder and attempted to edit it in the appearance editor I received this message- “Sorry, that file cannot be edited.” ==
It’s a known issue – https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744
== I’m wondering if it would just be easier to edit the header.php file from my computer rather than the Buddypress dashboard and reupload every time I make a change? ==
That’s the way to do it.
1) users can edit their own profile link is below the profile tab
2) post this topic in the followers plugin forum
3) when you create a user it bypasses the WordPress activation sequence. You will need to create a custom solution. An easy way is to use the BuddyPress notification system and send a site wide message telling all users to change their password.
Activity items are saved in a separate db table so they are completely disconnected from WordPress posts. The activity streams is meant more for quick short status updates.
