BuddyPress.org

It is a WordPress setting, under the “Settings > General” pages.

You need to use a wordpress 3.0 compatible theme or create a child theme based on twentyten or buddypress and use that.

I read somewhere that buddypress can only work if you have network enabled on your wordpress as buddypress plugins activates as network try that see if it solves your problem.

You can create your own WordPress page template or widget and create a loop that calls the group avatars. The current groups widget is a good start to see how it works. Also check the theme files group loop.

This is more of a WordPress thing, but yes, it’s possible.

Though, I would do it with only one page.
eg. example.com/dashboard

No need to create pages for every single user in your userbase!

I would create a custom page template wrapped around an “is_user_logged_in()” conditional so only logged in users can view it.

Then the admin can add whatever content s/he chooses for the “dashboard” page in the WP Page Admin area.

Might want to try Cubepoints BuddyPress integration… will probably need to be modified to do what you want.

You can definitely enable it after the fact. Here’s a tutorial: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-enable-multi-site-option-in-wordpress-3-0/ I’d just test it before you do it since the change might affect some of the plugins you are using or other features of the site.

@ri-kun The answer to your second question is not straightforward, though it has been discussed before on this forum. I suggest posting it in another thread so that other users will be able to help you with it. You might also have a look at this plugin by @pollyplummer https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/

Hi John

Change front page via Administration > Settings > Reading panel. You may have to edit your theme’s header.php to remove the “home” link. “About” is the name of the WordPress page of the same name, so just delete it.

This plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/ has the basic infrastructure to do what you’re looking for, though it doesn’t yet have a way for users to enter their own RSS feeds via a front-end UI. I plan to add that in the next version.

I’ve been experimenting with WordPress Mobile Pack on my BuddyPress site. Made some progress so I thought I’d share how…

Context is BuddyPress already installed, WordPress Mobile Pack installed:
1) enable Appearance – Mobile Switcher
2) set the mobile theme to “WordPress Mobile (blue)” or other, but not base!!!
3) under Appearance – Menu, create a new custom menu (for mobile navigation) with the following 4 URL links…
Link: Activity /pathto/activity/
Link: Members /pathto/members/
Link: Groups /pathto/groups/
Link: Forums /pathto/forums/
4) add the custom menu to the bottom of your sidebar, under Widgets (unfortunately visible for non-mobile too, but it not too conspicuous)
5) now under Appearance – Mobile Widgets enable only that custom menu (otherwise mobile navigation is a problem)
6) the BuddyPress links don’t work as the mobile theme isn’t compatible, so hack them in on the command line:
$ cd ?pathto?/wp-content/themes/mobile_pack_base/
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity ./
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/forums ./
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members ./
$ cd ../mobile_pack_blue/ (or the one you’re using, but not base)
$ ln -sf ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups ./

Your good to go! You can’t use the mobile base theme as it already has a “groups” directory which stuffs things up (if you’re not a nokia).
