can the registration form be customized?
You can create new profile fields. Install buddypress on your website and you will see how it works.
hi there, are members allowed to post their own blogs? i see blogs, but would like to know if those are from admin or can members that have registered post their own blogs? i am thinking to purchase this theme and would like to know the answer to my question before i go ahead. thanks!
Hi,
Yes, each user can have own blog if you install WPMU. Users can’t use my theme on their blog if will buy regular license.
I am planning to buy this theme. Before that could you please know me if it is possible to show Custom Post Type content on the home page By Default?
Since I am planning to show 3-5 latest items on the home page for my CPT.
So you want to display such page as frontpage – http://www.demo2.diaboliquedesign.com/1/blog/
Yes, it’s possible.
No, I want to display my CPT items on the home page including what you have in the theme by default. Such has active groups, members, and all recent items from BuddyPress.
There is 3-column footer with widgets so yes you can do it.
I want at the top right after the blue patch. Or do I need to modify a bit?
You can remove “On the Forums”, create new widget area – http://themeforest.net/item/communityjunction-buddypress-theme/7298510/faqs/20619 and display widget with recent posts.
Here may be we have some miscommunication. I want to add CPT latest items right after the top blue patch on the home page. Or you mean I can use footer widget for the same?
It’s not possible.
I’m going through the installation instructions, but I’d like to make the posts page the homepage. I hope this won’t break anything? 
What’s the best way to set this up?
Also, I want to have custom icons made for the menu icons. What file type should these be, and how would I use them in the menu?
Thanks a lot for a great theme, 5 stars!

Go to settings > reading -> and make Front page: -Select

Replace these images;

Hi, how can I change the link to /register page with another slug? do you have a wp hook ready to use? Thank you
Hi,
Open header.php and change register here:
<?php echo home_url(); ?>/register
Hi! I LOVE this theme. I’m creating a family reunion site for a colleague. Before I purchased I wanted to see if it was possible to make this theme a private community where the only way to see information is by registering and logging in. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Following options are possible for groups – http://www.s3blog.org/screengrab/images.html?id=55b532851ed80aac5db69cfd004167ea
Thanks for this info. I was actually wondering about privacy on a broader scale. Can the whole site be “members only” where the first page you come to is a login page. I don’t mind showing a list of members or latest comments on the home page, but people will have their children’s names and birthdays listed on their profiles. I don’t want that to be accessible by the general public.
It can be done using is_user_logged_in function, you can wrap some website elements using this code http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
I have a problem with the translation.
I have translated the language files in the theme dir, bbpress, buddy press and the wp file. But there’s still a few words untranslated. I don’t use extra plugins or something like that.
In the Activity page there’s a filter called “Profile updates” and in the topic and members widget there’s a few words that hasn’t been translated. “Hours”, “days” and “in”.
Do you have any idea how I can translate this?
“Profile updates”, “Hours” is inside wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot
Generally it’s not a theme issue (check a default WP theme) so if you still can’t translate it then it’s a bug of Buddypress.
Hm okay. Guess its a buddy press bug then. Thanks anyway
I’m trying to change the colors of the blue nav box in the header. I have a problem with the vertical border that separetes the menus and a problem with a icon in the Activity page in that same nav box, that doesn’t change when clicked like the other 3 does.
Hope you get when I’m talking about.
Do you have any plans on changing the way the colors are replaced in the theme? Like a function in Theme Options…
Also, how is the shadow of the member-page header-title changed?
I can’t find the answer in your documentation.
I have a problem with the vertical border that separetes the menus
change it#object-nav ul li { border-right:1px solid #1a3a65; border-left:1px solid #487ec9;
problem with a icon in the Activity page in that same nav box, that doesn’t change when clicked like the other 3 does.
Paste it inside myStyle.css:
#object-nav ul li##activity-friends {background-image: url( "images/tab-members.png" ); background-position:center 9px; background-repeat: no-repeat;}
#object-nav ul li##activity-friends.current {background-image: url( "images/tab-members-2.png" ); background-position:center 9px; background-repeat: no-repeat;}
Do you have any plans on changing the way the colors are replaced in the theme? Like a function in Theme Options…
I don’t have such plans.
Also, how is the shadow of the member-page header-title changed?
div#item-header h2 {font-size: 72px;color: #ffffff; text-shadow: 3px 3px 0px #336ab5;
Is it possible to do an image rotation in place of the blue bar (an image pool, and a random image is loaded from it each time)?
Well, here is some tutorial – http://iambusychangingtheworld.blogspot.com/2014/02/css-bodys-background-image-rotation.html
A changelog for updates would be of help. Thanks.
I want to change the blue background color. I changed the frontpage in style.css, but where do I change the rest of the page?
Thank you
Check in documentation – Where I can change general blue color of header?
Lazy me. Have a great weekend
Hi
Where can I find an xml file to load mock content to help me understand who goes where? Or is there such an option I can recreate the live preview site on my server?
Hi,
Check it – http://themeforest.net/item/communityjunction-buddypress-theme/7298510/faqs/20048
but Buddypress doesn’t support import/export groups.
Thanks.
And how do I get the sub-menu with icons to display? Cant see a widget for it. The one next to the logo with these headings?
CONTACT MEMBERS GROUPS FORUMS BLOG ACTIVITY
Use custom menu of WP. Check in documentation – III. How to display menu with icons?
Thanks… Just did that.
1. How do I get people to receive the activation email as the system is sending none? Do I have to manually activate each account?
2. Are there plug-ins I can install to enable media sharing (pics & videos) like on Facebook? Or functions within the platform?
1. It’s not a theme issue. Probably your IP address is on the black list. You can use gmail for send activation e-mails, this plugin can do it https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
2. Unfortunately I don’t know such plugin.
How easy is it to modify the homepage options/appearance, or are there not many options for changing homepage appearance?
I’d also like to know if you have any plans on adding advertising space to the posts, and an author footer box to the posts? Alternatively, are you available for custom work for these things? I love the theme, I just need a bit more space for ads and an author footer box
How easy is it to modify the homepage options/appearance, or are there not many options for changing homepage appearance?
There is only 1 layout configuration available, no options for change position of blocks.
I’d also like to know if you have any plans on adding advertising space to the posts
You can just paste code with add inside the post or file with post.
and an author footer box to the posts
Ckeck this – http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/9-top-free-wordpress-author-bio-box-plugins/
Alternatively, are you available for custom work for these things?
Unfortunately I don’t offer any services.
Hello pre-sale info… I want to insert a facebook registration (only facebook) it’s possible? Plugin recommended? thank you
Hello,
Yes, you can use this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/
Hello, how can I fix:
1.Inside the member page, if you go on settings and you click on “Profile” it opens an empty page (members/USER/settings/profile/).
2.The arrow of the submenu inside the top menu is always centered (nav ul li .nav-ul-container).
3.The LOGOUT image creates a new row in the menu maybe because I’m using a long username or because my language is not English (because “Hi” has only two characters), but on chrome it says: “Ciao username!” and the logout image it goes on the second row below.
Thank you
4.Not 100% compatible with BP Profile Search.
Hello,
1. I don’t see any problem on my test site – http://i.share.pho.to/89cbe306_o.png Check a default WP theme.
2. Yes, that’s correct, just like on the live demo – http://www.demo2.diaboliquedesign.com/1/
3. Paste it inside myStyle.css.user-top { width:350px; }
4. I don’t see any problems on my test site. I don’t provide style for 3rd party plugins. http://i.share.pho.to/90439894_o.png
Hello Diabolique, thanks for the fast reply
1. Can you click on Settings->Profile I get an empty page.
2. I fixed the problem using: nav ul li .nav-ul-container {display:none;}
3. Thank you.
4. I dont mean the style, but it doenst add his code inside the members page (user directory) I can add it manually but since its a very common plugin, for sure you ll get other request in future…
1. I already did it. Do you have the same problem with other themes?
4. Default WP theme won’t display it automatic too. Plugin shoud use Buddypress hooks, like bp_before_directory_members_page in the members/index.php
1. Can you please send me a screenshot for Settings->Profile ?
4. Ok, I’ve sent a notification to the plugin author. Thank you
1. Somehow I missed it, I just fixed it http://demo2.diaboliquedesign.com/1/changelogs.txt
Where I can downoad (v1.0.2)? is not available here
It wasn’t approved by themeforest yet.
It works now but the table column is not aligned, same problem inside Profile->Settings->Emails Thank you!
I just improved it. You can just recopy style.css file from live demo – http://www.demo2.diaboliquedesign.com/1/wp-content/themes/CommunityJunction/style.css
Hello, would you please check the URL below. I am using media plugin (to let users create picture albums on profile). But it doesn’t look regular. And also it seems to appear on blog-post format.
http://www.datykitty.com/members/serdar/media/I am little bit unexperinced about BuddyPress sub-system.
Your kind helps please, Thanks.
Hello,
I’m working on it.
Thanks, need help about this asap.
I just resolved it, I’ll post tutorial tomorrow.
Dear Diabolique, Thank you for solution. It works. This plugin also lets people to set any album picture as “featured” just like facebook cover pictures.
Maybe there is a chance to let BuddyPress users put their own cover image instead of default profile top blue background?
Thank you again for all.
Where do you see this option?
hi there, what is mytile-1a.png file? Where i can find it?
Hi,
There is no such file.
Presales question: is it fairly straightforward to change the vertical height of the giant blue bar/whatever image is used there? Right now on the demo it takes up a lot of screen real estate and doesn’t serve a purpose 
Also, what menu plugin is being used? Is there any way to make it ‘sticky’ so it stays when the page is scrolled?
Can a post support a featured video instead of a featured image?
Is the home page widgetized (I’d like to place a blogroll on the front page)?
Does the big “Join Now” button go away when the user is logged in?
Is a 3 column widget layout possible (one large, 2 small) natively, or would I need to use additional plugins?
Thanks!

Yes

It’s just custom menu of wordpress. I can tell you how to make sticky header.
Can a post support a featured video instead of a featured image?
http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/daily-tip-how-to-replace-the-wordpress-featured-image-with-a-video/Is the home page widgetized (I’d like to place a blogroll on the front page)?
No, you can place it on footer.
Does the big “Join Now” button go away when the user is logged in?
There will be displayed “My Account” image.
Is a 3 column widget layout possible (one large, 2 small) natively, or would I need to use additional plugins?
Not possible.
Thanks for the info! (although I’d rather just stick to featured images rather than have to use a WPMU Dev plugin…their plugins are awful)
I love the theme at least before I purchased it and before reading the docs. When it came to me changing the hard coded text on the home page of the theme, it turned out to me a nightmare. I would never have purchased this theme if I knew I had to mess around with code to change simple text files.
I wish I knew this before purchasing your theme. If there is one think I hate to do is screw around with the code or do any kind of translation. Many of us just don’t have the knowledge to do this. I don’t understand why you could not make it simpler to change the text. Love the theme but would NOT purchase another one from you due to this. – Due to these and other problems with your theme I can only give you 1 (one) star.
There is no hard coded text, everything is inside language file, all wordpress themes and plugins use language file including Buddypress and bbpress because this is the proper way to build theme. Also if somebody has english website then there should be changed BuddyPress lets users sign-up and start … only and that’s all.
How do I change the test under the blue map? I cant cant find anything about this in the docs. I also don’t see any place to change it in any theme settings.
All text strings are inside language file, check in documentation – IV. How to translate theme?

Hi Diabolique,
Great job!
I’ve two questions:
+ Is it possible to share users comments on twitter? + As I’ve seen users profile photos are very important and relevant in the first access to the community, my doubt is if it’s possible to link them to an avatar profile photo, as this in your demo http://themeforest.net/item/communityjunction-buddypress-theme/full_screen_preview/7298510I’m trying to avoid offensive users’ profile photos on a glance.
Thanks!

Yes, if you click on the avatar image then you will be redirected to the user profile.
