BuddyPress.org

You’ll need to load this manually, preferably via functions.php (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script). Javascript and CSS files aren’t automatically loaded by WordPress child themes.

I don’t know what you mean. Plus I think we are reluctant to change the default theme at all before 1.3.

perhaps if you read this you can do what you want:

Hello Boone,

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate getting an actual answer as I may be pretty comfortable working with WordPress but BuddyPress code has me a bit lost at the moment. I will Try this and post back.

About my quote, i’m sorry if it seemed “confrontational” but I guess its just my frustration talking. I’ve been asking about this and searching for months but could never find a rational solution.

Thanks again,
I’ll try it out now.

You have to resolve permalink issue in WordPress before installing BuddyPress.
Apache Module mod_rewrite must be enabled for “pretty permalinks” so check with your webhost. Or, if you have access to the httpd.conf file, find #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and delete the # to uncomment it

It seems it is possible to integrate Simple:Press into the activity streams.

From my enquiries, I believe VaultPress only backs up the regular WordPress tables (i.e. not BuddyPress’).

I have the same problem as Dudeski. I also get the wordpress installation address, rather than site address. So the home and other buttons don’t work.

Are you sure that your custom-sample.css file is actually being included? With a file name like ‘custom-sample’, I’m guessing that it might not be. Check out the theme’s main style.css, and see if there’s an @import rule for custom-sample.css (or if there is a rule in any other imported stylesheet).

I’m not sure how bp-social works (it appears to be a premium theme so I can’t look at the code) but if it is a child of bp-default, then you won’t be able to create a “grandchild” theme so that your changes won’t be overridden – WP doesn’t support that. However, you could fake it by dropping a snippet in your bp-custom.php file that looks something like this:

`function bbg_custom_style() {
$myStyleUrl = WP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/custom.css’;
$myStyleFile = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/custom.css’;
if ( file_exists($myStyleFile) ) {
wp_register_style(‘myStyleSheet’, $myStyleUrl);
wp_enqueue_style( ‘myStyleSheet’);
}
}
add_action(‘wp_print_styles’, ‘bbg_custom_style’);`

(See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style for more info on how to enqueue styles)

Just make sure that you have your custom styles in a file called custom.css in your plugin directory. That should make sure that your styles get loaded, but that they don’t get overwritten by future upgrades to your main theme.

The bundled version of jQuery in WordPress is different than the stock jQuery library.

WP adds a jQuery.noConflict() call. Most WordPress plugins rely on the WP version of jQuery. So by getting rid of the WP one, you’re going to be breaking some plugins.

I’m pretty sure WP has jquery-ui in their includes folder.

Check out this nifty codex article on wp_enqueue_script() to call a specific, bundled JS:

You’ll need to modify wp_list_pages() in your theme’s header.php to exclude the page ID of the classifieds.

If you don’t like messing around with theme files, you could probably try this plugin:

You need to change the_content() to the_excerpt() in your theme’s index.php:
