Hello all, I am working on a website that uses wordpress/buddypress, well I want it to be family friendly, I got a content filter that works for wordpress, but I am needing one that will also filter posts that other users post in buddypress, to turn naughty words into *’s. Anyone got any suggestions? Closest thing I found was a Buddypress Moderation plugin, which just adds a little flag so users can “flag” the post as inappropriate.
Any help would be nice, thanks!
Using @import in combination with linked CSS causes CSS load order issues, as the HTTP requests are not completed in sequence.
I would suggest researching and using the WordPress API wp_enqueue_style() to better avoid the fouc.
I am currently running the most recent version of WordPress and bbPress (plugin) and I am considering instaling BuddyPress for some of it’s extended features. My question is, what will happen if I install BuddyPress with the BuddyPress Template Pack (so I can retain the site’s custom theme) and I then decide to uninstall later? Will there be alot of reconfiguration and cleanup or even possibly break other thngs that I have going or is it just a matter of deactivating the BuddyPress and the BuddyPress Template Pack plugins? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m going to assume you mean under WordPress not BuddyPress specifically and using Multisite? Is that right? If not what do you mean by theme?
I’ve got default working now. The WP plugin “Nivo Sider for WordPress” breaks pretty much all interaction just by being activated. I’m guessing it’s 1 or more conflicting .js files. I have the same plugin working fine with BP 1.2.9 but the plugin has a number of issues, definitely don’t mind using a different, more friendly slider plugin.
There isn’t a custom profile plugin at the moment. There exists a group css plugin that could be used as an example in creating your own plugin. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-css
Another option is adding profile fields and then mapping that info to CSS. See this forum topic: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/css-for-member-page
I’m developing on the trunk version of BP and seem to have hit a bit of a road block when trying to manipulate the BuddyPress menus.
As per https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/how-bp-1-5-load-order-changes-may-affect-your-plugins-or-themes/ I have tried the following functions wrapped up in a function and hooked upto bp_setup_nav ie:
`
function ja_remove_activity_friends_subnav() {
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( ‘activity’, ‘friends’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘ja_remove_activity_friends_subnav’, 15 );
`
This is in my bp-custom.php file in plugins. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to do anything;(
I think I may be getting confused between bp_core_remove_nav_item() and bp_core_remove_subnav() – no matter what I try the menu remains unaffected.
I have tried things like `bp_core_remove_nav_item($bp->groups->slug, ‘send-invites’);` inside the function too, but without success.
Am I doing something wrong – I’d hate to hack the core, but it may come to it if I can’t get this working sadly;( Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
BP Codex is your friend

Per info given in above links, open up /activity/index.php and at the top of the file replace:
`
`
with
`
<div id="page-” >`
Then at the bottom of the file, replace
`
`
with
`
`
Save file. Proceed to change HTML of remaining 12 files posted in links above. There might be a need to include div entry plus closing div. But check out first how this turns out. Good luck.
It has been years since I have had to do any webpage coding. I used to run a phpBB site for a year or so and had custom code all over the place.
I knew what I was doing but that was a long time ago. 
I am very new to WP and BP. I just started using WP on Monday and BP on Tuesday. Well, I tried to use BP on Tuesday, but my friends hosting is a Windows server, so I couldn’t instal it.
We are switching to Linux right now.
I have WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.9 installed on my Linux hosting now so I can see what I need to do to get it working.
I’m currently using the theme zeePersonal (LINK: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/zeepersonal ). I tried using the BuddyPress Template Pack v1.1.4, but I can’t figure out what they are talking about that I need to change.
I’ve read it over and over again, but the instructions remind me of this: (LINK: http://twitpic.com/6ebch0 )
The page.php file it says to look for looks like this:
`
`
I started adding in `
` to the pages listed for the BP Template pack, but my content is all aligned left. I can’t seem to figure out what I need to do.
Any help on this matter would be great!
Also, I spent a few hours last night searching for the answer here and a few more hours today and I didn’t find the answer. Everyone seems very interested in BP1.5 though. 
1) Fresh install of WordPress.
2) Fresh install of bbpress 2.0 RC (I prefer it to BP’s bbpress implementation)
3) Using the bbPress Twenty Ten theme
4) Install Buddypress
5) Turn off Groups and Forums
6) Install BuddyPress Template Pack and move template files as instructed
None of the links related to BP work. They all point to the home page.
I’m the only user (admin).
Now, if I switch to the default BP them, things work… so what in the bbpress TwentyTen theme is giving me grief?
@mercime Thanks.
The select box doesn’t seem to have any effect, though. It seems to search members, groups and blogs (not forums) even though I select “members”, for example.
WP 3.1 (Fantastico Install)
WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server (webhost scripts wreaks havoc with creating a network as well)
I’ve created a plugin to help add friends automatically upon new user registration.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-automatic-friends/
@gregfielding my bad, that code above was for BP 1.5 beta 3 and this only prevents the adminbar.css from being enqueued via wp_head. So you can definitely use your own adminbar.css by @import in style.css of child theme or enqueueing it, whichever you prefer.
Upper right hand corner of dashboard, you’ll find the link to network admin in dropdown. http://wpmu.org/wordpress-3-2-bring-back-your-network-admin-link-with-our-free-plugin/
In WordPress 3.2.1 as a Network admin you should find it at the left menu second item from the top ‘BuddyPress’.
Try some of the WP Facebook connects. I know simple FB connect works and a few others do as well.
Not sure if this plugin still works but for liking things on a site:

Hi all,
Here’s a (probably stupid) question for you.
I used the “BuddyPress Theme Compatibility” plugin to make the default WordPress theme “Twenty Eleven” work with Buddypress.
It works okay, but the search form (/?s=query) is still only searching WordPress items (pages, posts) and not areas such as groups, forums, members etc.
Ho do I change this?
Thanks
I’m going crazy here. Where can I get instructions how to create a forum page like this: http://testbp.org/discussion/ ? I have searched everywhere. I have asked from the admins in testbp, but no answer. It is not possible that there is no help how to set up this kind of forum.
Does anybody know who has set up this forum? How is this done? Are they using bbPress WordPress plugin or is it a standalone bbPress forum installation that is integrated into WP and BB?
Any help is appreciated!
Hi all.
I have a ciustom theme installed, and I need to make it buddypress compatible. I used the wordpress plugin which automates the process, but now the spacing between some areas of my site is off. what is causing this? Can anyone point me in the direction to fix it?
Take a look at my site here, star-finder.co.uk
In particular look here, http://star-finder.co.uk/forums/
Why is the forum titles squashed up like that? I can’t figure out how to move them along.
I also want to figure out why on any buddypress page my widgets sit on the bottom of the page, and not the sidebar…
Thanks guys
Hello all! So I have been tinkering with a feedback plugin designed by @justbishop (as described here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/any-plugin-similar-to-ebays-user-feedback-member-rating-feedback?replies=2). It works well but i need to set a conditional that causes it to only create a feedback page for members with an s2member level 1.
I changed:
`add_action ( ‘user_register’, ‘create_feedback_page’ );
function create_feedback_page(){
create_feedback_page($user_id);
$user_info = get_userdata($user_id); }`
To:
`add_action ( ‘user_register’, ‘create_feedback_page’ );
function create_feedback_page(){
if (!current_user_can(‘access_s2member_level1’))
create_feedback_page($user_id);
$user_info = get_userdata($user_id); }`
It worked at first but then I tested it a second time and upon clicking on the registration confirmation email i got the message “[an error occurred while processing this directive]” and when that page is refreshed it leads me to a page that asks for a valid activation code. I know it has to do with the changes I made to this plugin because when I reverse it all goes well. Any ideas on how to remedy this? ANY input would be GREATLY appreciated!
Hey everyone
I wanned to change displayed massages order:
1st thing i did was changing ASC to DESC in C:Program Files (x86)VertrigoServwwwwordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-messages/bp-messages-classes.php:
`$notices = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT * FROM {$bp->messages->table_name_notices} ORDER BY date_sent DESC” ) );`
2nd thing was to swap “send a reply” form with actual messages in :
wp-contentthemesmy_themememberssinglemessages.php
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3973/myproblemz.jpg thats how it looks so far.
there must be jquery function somewhere that displays messages added on fly.
Doe’s anybody know where can i find it?? newly added messages are in wrong place and order
Many thanks for any help!!!

@gregfielding I know what you mean 
As DJPaul mentioned here, child themes can declare and empty function to override parent theme’s function. Check out Boone’s solution – a proposed patch which works of course and is better IMHO.
You might have noticed that the link to stylesheet is no longer in bp-default theme’s header.php. Hence, you could either add the link to stylesheet in child theme’s header.php or enqueue main stylesheet ala bp-default theme.
Cheers.
