My BuddyPress Plugins 2012

Why does this look like a WordPress plugin admin page? Well because it is. This is a copy – and – paste list of the plugins I’m currently running on my new BuddyPress Install. Naturally some of them are unnecessary or obsolete and won’t be there for long, but I felt it’s a nice thing [...]

Free and Premium BuddyPress Themes 2011

I thought it’s about time I did a new list of free and premium BuddyPress themes. We’re listing the premium themes first and the free themes second as it is highly unlikely any of the free themes will be new to you. The reason being very simple, new BuddyPress-specific free themes don’t popup very often, [...]

Simple Blog Comment Exchange

Setting up a new blog is simple, but getting people to be active blog participants takes a bit more time. You want people to comment on your blog because it generates interest in those posts.  It also tells you which posts and topics you cover people are interested in. You might be someone that comments [...]

Free BuddyPress 1.2 and Above Compatible Theme

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 [...]

Some of you weren’t as lucky as me and spent hundreds of hours changing and growing your [...]

BuddyPress on WP 3 Project

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 [...]

BuddyPress Anti-Spam

If you’re running a Buddypress install you will most likely experience a massive amount of spam registrations. With massive I mean between 10 and 20 per day, which is what I used to get. There’s a big discussion regarding the best way to control spam on your BuddyPress network. So far I’ve found SI CAPTCHA [...]

Using CMF Ads on your blog

I’ve always been interested in ways to monetize your blog, but I don’t always spend the time on implementing or fully testing them. Hits have been increasing on all my blogs recently, specifically my new BuddyPress install at www.rugbyshout.com and this increased my “awareness” of monetizing my blogs. Anyway, enough with the musings. I’ve heard [...]
