Many of you who use BuddyPress would like to remove the default BuddyPress Sidebar Login Form for reasons such as adding you own login form or freeing up some sidebar space. I was able to do this by using the plugin code provided in this discussion by Pers. So remember to visit him and say thanks. All I did was add the code to a php file and zip it [...]
I started with a list of free BuddyPress themes for 2010 and when I reached number five I found a post that lists 28 Free BuddyPress Themes Compatible with BuddyPress 1.2 and Above… Which made my attempt a bit redundant. I suggest taking a look at the post and thanking the poster for setting it up, because BuddyPress theme’s are still few and far between. If you find any new [...]
Ning created alot of buzz and negative comments due to their sudden switch from a free to premium service. I also had a Ning network, but fortunately never paid much attention to it, rather focusing on other network applications. Some of you weren’t as lucky as me and spent hundreds of hours changing and growing your Ning driven network. Those of you unable to pay for the premium service lost all [...]
I’ve recently been working with BuddyPress and used it to setup my first rugby community. I’ve been enjoying it so much I got myself a new domain, awesome hosting package, some friends and setup a new blogging social network. I’m using the BuddyPress Default theme with the Widgetized Frontpage “page template”. As an extra I decided to use WP 3 RC1 and offer free blog hosting. Please take a look [...]
The last couple of days I’ve been toying with the idea of uploading my favorite WordPress and BuddyPress themes and putting them up for download. That’s why I have unlimited space and bandwidth right? It will basically be like all the WordPress Theme repositories you can find on Google, but with a focus on free premium themes, with easy navigation and pretty presentation being the most important. Keep it simple yet stylish… So the problem is finding [...]
I recently setup a BuddyPress install for a Rugby Social Network. Now a question I’ve received from a member and one I’m really interested in myself is which SEO plugin to use. SEO for BuddyPress is specifically designed for BuddyPress, but, being used to All in One SEO and all the options it provide, which one should be used? Or should I be using a combination? Eg. All in one SEO [...]
Our readership has greatly increased over the last few months, even though I’ve been unable to make posts on a regular basis. What I’ve noticed is that most of the visitors are looking for BuddyPress and WordPress custom designs, not specifically free themes. What I’m planning is to increase our focus on providing custom BuddyPress and WordPress themes from experienced designers, while still reporting on the latest themes and developments [...]
It’s hard finding all the latest free and premium themes available on the net today. So I’m asking all theme developers and users to do some showing off. Please include a demo and download link if possible, to make it easier for visitors. Thank you.
I usually don’t post my most difficult questions in my blog, due to the fact that I’m the one who is supposed to sort it out and THEN post about it. This time it’s different. I recently made a post about the new Elgg theme Orkut, which I’m using in my new blogging network, but shortly after I discovered CosmicBuddy, the BuddyPress theme. Now CosmicBuddy provides everything that Elgg already [...]
A while ago I started testing social networking scripts, but mostly got stuck on Elgg. I even setup a test site where I displayed different Elgg themes and plugins. I recently decided to clean out the old files and database and replace it with a new fresh theme and settings. In the process a new Blogging Social Network developed, aptly named, SonOfaBlog (SOB), running on Elgg and a free theme from [...]
