BuddyPress.org

Have you enable Multisite on your wordpress install? Blogs are only enabled if you use multisite:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

“The site was originally installed on WordPressMU”

You can convert a WPMU install with only one site to single WP, it’s not hard to do and there are tutorials online on how to go about it. But none take BuddyPress into consideration and you’re on WP 3.0.1, so all bets are off. I would suggest experimenting on test install first and see how that works out, taking into consideration avatar and media upload paths. Main work would be on database. In the meantime, I assume that in your dashboard > Super Admin > Options > only user registration is allowed.

Problems solved on actually bp and wordpress 3.0 for profile
The first problem was the js conflict with jquery -> dynamic marks not works
the second is the profile maps doesn’t work so ->
the file bp_maps_profile_init.php contain a bp_maps_profile_init() function where the function bp_maps_profile_is_enabled, bp_is_profile_edit and bp_maps_profile_is_map_group return false so the js aren’t be loaded .
So you must change the condition for it work!
this is my code
function bp_maps_profile_init() {
global $bp;

//backend options
add_action( ‘bp_maps_admin_plugins_div’,’bp_maps_profile_admin_plugins_div’);
//the numer of my group edit for the location page (/members/admin/profile/edit/group/6/)

if(strpos($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”], “edit/group/6?) !== false):

//change infobulle content to set user’s info
add_filter(‘bp_maps_marker_infobulle_content’,’bp_maps_profile_infobulle_content’,10,2);
//add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_markerslist_marker_content’,’bp_maps_profile_marker_content’,10,2);

//change infobulle content to set user’s info
add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_marker_title’,’bp_maps_profile_marker_title’,10,2);
add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_marker_list_title’,’bp_maps_profile_marker_title’,10,2);

add_action(‘wp_print_scripts’,’bp_maps_profile_print_scripts’); //edition scripts (address autocomplete)
add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_map_js’,’bp_maps_profile_add_map_js’,10,2); //array to contain the field ids
add_action(‘wp’,’bp_maps_profile_edit_no_marker’);

//TO FIX : useless ?
//add_filter(‘bp_maps_get_new_marker_address’,’bp_maps_profile_get_new_marker_address’);

do_action(‘bp_maps_profile_edit_map_screen’);

bp_maps_head_init(); //load maps JS

endif;

}

Well, when yo call xprofile_template_loop_end, then this hook should only run once the complete loop has finished. There’s no way of adding stuff before or after a certain action hook (except when there’s another hook), only right where the hook is. One way of adding things to a loop is to use a counter for the loop and then add a dynamic hook to every entry, like so:
`do_action( ‘some_custom_hook_’. $counter );`

BuddyPress plugins are just WordPress plugins, so the best starting point is probably the WP codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

Then there’s the skeleton component that does a pretty good job of explaining some BP specific stuff:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/

And of course the BP plugin files and other BP plugins, that you can have a look through.

I’m going to try and add the steps for the fix again. I didn’t see the note about using backticks for code…

1. Open the index.php, save it to your theme as posts-page.php (or whatever template name you like).
2. Edit the newly created posts-page.php file and place the following at the top to create a page template:

`<?php
/*
Template Name: Posts Page
*/
?> `

3. Now scroll down in the posts-page.php to the beginning of the WordPress loop and just before the line “ add this one line of code “ Note: (5 == the number of post to show you can change this to whatever you want.)
4. Save the posts-page.php file.
5. In your WordPress/BuddyPress admin panel create a new page called “Blog” (or something similar) and select “Posts Page” under Template.
6. Publish page.

You should now be able to go to your Settings -> Reading menu and set a static page and select your Posts Page to show your blog posts.

Roger posted some good links too. I’ve been really impressed with the potential of filters and the like.

@askunky

There are any number of ways you can do this using CSS positioning (and developing your own bespoke website theme).

This isn’t really a BuddyPress question though, it’s a general website development / CSS question. I suggest a good book on CSS would be a starting point.

Incidentally: There’s no need for div wrappers just to position an image (you are adding unnecessary bloat), and I’d certainly avoid inline style definitions (which can be a maintenance nightmare).

@pcwriter – I’m not sure what you are trying to write with your CSS, but I suspect you’ve confused absolute and relative positioning. For the approach you are suggesting, you should make your main header div relatively positioned, and use absolute positioning on your image to position it absolutely in relation to the header div: http://css-tricks.com/absolute-positioning-inside-relative-positioning/

As to suitability of BuddyPress for a ‘simple site’ – it depends what you want that site to do – if you want user profiles, messaging, groups, activity streams, etc. – then BuddyPress gives you a great platform to build on.

If you just want a simple content management system with posts, then you’d be better building on vanilla WordPress.

If you don’t need content management, then your simplest site would just be HTML and CSS.

@kimprasannanielsen welcome to the help forum, firstly the forum is not a coding service as such we can’t do the work for you but will help you where you get stuck.

If you find an aspect confusing then please explain what stage you are at and what you’re stuck with and someone with experience of using the template pack will hopefully be able to guide you along.

If however you do want professional help then rather than post your email address here post a request on the jobs board group for help getting this sorted.
