BuddyPress.org

Hello –
I am new to BuddyPress and WordPress for that matter. I am trying to customize some of the functions in BuddyPress and all I have seen is information on how to customize the files in the bp-themes folder. So for example if I want to change some of the templates or functions etc under the bp-activity directory or bp-blogs directory how do I go about doing that? Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi, forgive me if I am missing something simple but is it possible to tag an activity stream or updates?

I am running WordPress 3.21 and latest version of BP.

I have installed the new buddypress and everything seemed fine until you register to the website and go to activate the account. it goes nowhere; i keep being prompted to set up a page but i dont want an activation page.

no activation happening so people cannot register for a site or get their login details????? help

So I’m brand new to WordPress and old hat to programming. I’m trying to piece together a word press site for a friend that he can easily manager and expand. I’ve got most everything up and running with buddy press now save for the forums (without actually having to touch code, craziness!) . My issue is with the forums (I’ve installed the site wide variant).

The issue I’m running into is that the individual forums seem to be rendering as a page and not getting the specific forum templates added to them. I’m using the custom community theme, but this problem is repeatable if i switch to the base buddy press theme. This problem is not present if i switch to the bbpress theme. Each forum listing shows up only showing the forums tagline as if it was page data. I had to do a bit of hackery to get the forum to render at all (deleted the forum page and made a link to /forums in the menu).

My forums are at:
http://unfettereddesigns.net/forums/

Any sage advice?

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Frisco theme is now available in the WordPress Theme Directory.

http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/frisco-for-buddypress

So you can now install the theme directly from your WordPress dashboard.

The theme is a basic child theme derived from bp-default 1.5. Once you activate the theme, there is a theme options page where you can choose a font and color for your site. Or, there are also options to use a custom.css stylesheet and functions-custom.php file for heavier customization.

There is more information along with a demo site over at http://friscotheme.com/

Special thanks to @karmatosed and @mercime for helping with the theme review.

I upgraded to 1.5 on my live site and mirror site (for testing), both with numerous plugins installed but everything exploded so I restored back to normal on both sites. I have created a third site for testing with a clean install of WordPress & Buddypress 1.5 and no plugins installed. Also installed the latest BP Columns Theme (1.5.3) which seems to be working OK except the menu bar is listed vertically instead of horizontally and each time I add a new page it extends the menu even further horizontally down the page, this also happened when I upgraded the live and mirror sites. I have searched the forums to find an answer to this but no luck so far. Can anyone help please ?
