HAHA no worries at all I should have both the header and page on pastebin.com.
I believe I have it simply under on demand heading and on demand page.
No worries @mikeytrooper, we’ve all been there before. Post the page.php first and let’s work from there.
EDIT – My bad, now MY face is red. I missed the reason why you wanted to post the header.php — for the navigation links. I can help you there as well.
I would dearly love to be able to add Google translate to my BuddyPress site, I have tried various plug-ins in the sidebar but they will not allow me to translate every page – I get logged out all the time. I think Google Translate is ok with a normal WordPress site but not with BuddyPress. Would be grateful for any suggestions.
HAHAHAHA! Well there you go. Ugh embarrassing. OK I am going to post the page right now. Thanks again this is probably like working with a hamster.
There is an index.php and the page.php
== that is what the instructions told me to do ==
@mikeytrooper I wrote the walkthrough and it specifically states page.php or index.php, and content of page.php is what I asked you to paste in last paragraph https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/integrating-buddypress-into-on-demand-wordpress/#post-95018 
I believe that is what the instructions told me to do. Like I said I really have no idea hahaha I am just going by the step by step instructions I may be totally off.
@ds123 I have had a client site run with this set up but I was not involved with the web server or other technical details. I would suggest you post on the WordPress.org forums, perhaps at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced, and ask for information or advice on running WordPress in this way.
Pretty much all the WordPress server advise will apply to BuddyPress (as it’s just a plugin, after all!)
Hi
I have been trying to remove certain items from the admin bar which appear at the top of all WordPress pages. I’ve managed to remove the ‘visit’ menu from it by reading a forum elsewhere but I have had no luck with researching how to remove the site name that appears first on the left of the admin bar. Does anyone here know how I can do it? as it’s driving me crazy.
Thanks
PS – This BuddyPress site has managed to do it. it has ‘My Account’ and ‘Notifications’ but no site name such as ‘BuddyPress’ in that same bar unlike my site.
PPS – I’ve just figured out I can remove it by not having a site title but then it disappears from the header too which is not what I want.
== I am going to paste my header.php in the pastebin.com ==
You’re welcome. But why header.php? The structure you’ll be imposing on the BP template files transferred to your active theme will be coming from page.php
Hey Mercime again thanks for responding so quickly and helping out. Out my deal….. I fixed the last issue but of course I am confused again!
I am currently trying to finish the add bp component Navigation Links in the Final Steps of the website you sent me. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
If you could check this out you would be saving my life and my computers life because you will prevent me from tossing it out my window.
I am going to paste my header.php in the pastebin.com
My name on the site is Mikeytrooper and the name of the of the post is “On Demand Header”.
Again thanks your the man!
– Mike
You can do this a regular WordPress plugin. What features specific to BuddyPress do you need? Or get a premium theme like this: http://wordpressqa.com/instant-qa/
@mikeytrooper let’s take it here, better than in my profile update page
== I just have one more question I am looking at the on demand html and I don’t see the style.css I was wondering if you knew if it may be under a different name. ==
Not quite sure what you mean. Go to On Demand theme folder and open page.php with text editor and check HTML structure as I noted in the walkthrough. Your style.css file should also be in that theme folder. Like I mentioned above, last time I tweaked On Demand was a year ago. Though there must have been some major revisions to the template files since then, surely there’s a page.php and style.css file in the folder.
If you want me to check out the structure, copy contents of your theme’s page.php file and paste in http://pastebin.com/ and save. Post the generated URL here.
Awesome, Thanks for your help, Really Appreciate it!
Cheers.
Thank you for a super fast reply. However, I red documentation, and it is for the previous version of BuddyPress / WordPress.
Site Admin -> Options -> Allow New Registrations > set to: “Only Logged In Users Can Create New Blogs” – is no longer available!!!
Could you guide a BuddyPress/WordPress noob please?
If i need to change the code, I am fine with this – I have a software development background.
Thank you for a reply!
Yes, I am pretty sure that MultiSite is enabled.
I did the following check:
From the ‘Network Admin’ I added new site and called it ‘SubSite1’; the URL of SubSite1 is: xyz.com/SubSite1/.
The SubSite1 has it’s own blog where I can add a post, etc. The blog of SubSite1 is also listed in the top level site: xyz.com/blogs/.
So, there is a capability to have one blog per one sub-site.
The question still remains, how can one blog per one BuddyPress user can be enabled?
I include the contents of wp-config.php for your reference (just in case you wonder what is there):
…
I have some passowrds infor here…
…
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘cfbp.dev’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

think thats what I’m going to have to do….. booo! thanks for your help… So do you have a recommended plugin or anything to backup content so i could just transfer it into the new installation?? Sorry I’m a bit of a newbie to doing all this stuff…..
Appreciate your help!
To continue on the thought that VirtualityReiki started this thread with.. I too would like to give users the ability to have a blog, but I think it’s way overkill to give each user a fully fledged WP site, as if I was running my own wordpress.com.
I think multi-site is more suited for sites that actually want to do what wordpress.com does – give people an actual stand-alone blog website. For community sites that use WP not as a blogging platform but as a CMS, a simpler blog system where a blog is an embedded part of the site just like groups or forums will be more suited and more engaging, because everything is kept on the main site where we want to keep our users.
Multi-site seems to me to be a lot of hassle. Just the fact that it creates several database tables for EACH BLOG is to me just madness.
So does anyone know if there is a simpler blog plugin out there that will create user blogs on a non multi-site setup by just using a custom post type?
Hello everyone!
1) Is it possible to have one blog per each BuddyPress user?
2) If it is, then how do I create/enable one?
I searched through the Dashboard and could not find any settings to create a new blog, nor is it available via BuddyPress bar.
Also this link (http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/cant-create-new-blogs/) suggests that it can be done by: Site Admin -> Options -> Allow New Registrations > set to: “Only Logged In Users Can Create New Blogs”. Well, the current version does not have this in site admin menu. There is a similar menu which states that users can be registered (but nothing about creating new blogs).
My installation details:
I have an installation of WordPress 3.1 (multisite enabled) and BuddyPress 1.2.8 – basically, this is a fresh install.
WordPress is installed in root directory of the website.
I have the following plugins:
1) BP-Album+ (Version 0.1.8.9)
2) BP Group Documents (ersion 0.3.5)
3) BuddyPress Like (Version 0.0.
4) BuddyPress Links (Version 0.5)
5) BuddyPress Wiki Component (Version 1.0.2)
Please help to enable the feature where every BuddyPress user can have his/her personal blog.
Thank you all!
PS: I apologize if I posted this in a wrong section. I am new here…
By walkthrough, you mean this one? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
The last time I checked out an On Demand theme was almost a year ago, but I remember it has a page.php file where you can see the HTML structure you should impose over the BP template files transferred when you went through the compatibility process with BP Template Pack.
I am currently using wordpress On Demand video theme. In order to get what I want out of my website integrating buddypress would be perfect. I was wondering if anyone knows how to go about all of this. I have been looking at some walkthroughs, but I have not been able to complete process. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks!
– Mike
