Update : If you are looking for Cosmic Buddy Theme for Buddypress 1.2+, please download it from here
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/cosmic-buddy-theme-for-buddypress-1-2-available-now/
I will accept it, this theme is highly inspired from old orkut theme. Have you used orkut. You will love this clean and elegant adaption to buddypress.
here are the features
- Highly customized theme
- It is not dependent on any theme
- Easy to use
Have a look at the screen shots here(will be updated later today, we are just in the process of updating this site)
and yeh,
So don’t wait , grab this theme from the bottom of this page And turn your buddypress site to an elegant social network.
How to Use
Cosmic Buddy Theme has 7 widget areas. Please have a look at the image below
- Welcome Section: This is for the home page. Use this section only if you want to show a welcome message or the Slideshow. If you don’t want to show a welcome message/ or slideshow, please do not add any widget to this area.
- Home page First section: if you want the left column of the home page to be a single column(not the double column in the left column), add widgets here.here is a screenshot, to show what I mean.
- Home Page main col1 and home Page main col2, If you want to use the home page left column as 2 column, use these two widgets. Please note, if you use any of these two widget area, the widgets added to the “Home page First section” will be ignored. I am using is_active_sidebar methods to test and mutually exclude the widgets. Here is a screenshot.
- Sidebar: This area is used for home page sidebar, registration page sidebar, activation page sidebar. So add what ever widgets you want here.
- Blog Sidebar: It is used for all blog pages(e.g blog home page, single page, page, archive, links, search etc)
- Profile Sidebar top: this area is the right column top area on Internal profile pages. You can use this to display ads. If you don’t add any widget here, this area will be ignored and rest of the right column will be displayed. Here is a screenshot
Cosmic buddy Theme extra addons
- Cosmic Buddy slideshow widget:- We developed this slideshow to make it easy for you to use slideshows with cosmic buddy theme. This widget uses featured content glider from dynamic drive to create the slideshow. Here is a screenshot
You can specify posts from which category/categories(a comma separated list of category ids) should be used as slideshow. The image comes from a custom field “slide-image” currently. So, Please enter the image url in the posts in a custom field “slide-image“. We will change this behaviour and make it easy in the next release. Also, we recommend to not enter the title for the slideshow in the above widget. - Cosmic Buddy Welcome Widget: This is a slightly modified core welcome widget. It just outputs the widget title only once, while the core widget outputs it twice
- Cosmic buddy search widget: Since we don’t have a sitewide search integrated in the theme, so this addon, enables you to use sitewide search on any/all widget areas.here is a screenshot.
- Cosmic buddy Login widget: This simply puts a login form as a widget when the user is not logged in, when the user is logged in, this widget does not outputs anything.
What Widget Configuration we recommend
Again, It is all your choices , but we strongly recommend to use “welcome-section” only for welcome text/or slideshow.Please do not use welcome section for other widgets.
You should add the login widget to “sidebar”, blog-sidebar”,”profile-sidebar-top”.
Search widget is all your choice, but you can add it to sidebar/ blog-sidebar and profile-sidebartop if interested.
Now you either use “Home page first section” or a combination of ” Homepage Main col1″ and “Home page main col2″.
Changing Logos
You can change all the three cosmic buddy logo from theme options in the wordpress backend. Go to Appearance->Theme Options and put the logo image urls there.
here is a screen shot to show theme options.

Please note, the round corners will appear in mozilla, safari, opera, chrome but not in IE as we have used border-radius property for that. There are a few other glitches we know, we will be fixing them in the next release.
Also, this theme was not developed with localization in mind(a shortfall), so may be , there can be problems in localization, but I hope, there should not be many issues. We will be releasing the more appropriately localized version in the next release

@all
Please make sue you are not using bp-template pack/bp backward compatibility plugin with this theme, These two plugin seems to be causing issues.
One more day to go… Gowni.com is waiting for Cosmic Buddy
haha.. thanks
Yeh I am working on it and I hope to release it today ,may be in PST.
Hey Mr. Anith,
I visited your website its really very cool.
I want to know more about that. Can u help me for that?
Waiting……..:-)
Now, that’s pressure
haha so true
working hard to release it today. let me see what happens 
Thanks for sharing.I’m waiting for it
Very nice and proffesional!… We are the waiting…
Thanks @reclae and @ksceyhun for the comments
We are working hard on it. There are a few changes left. let us see, whether we can come out with the theme today or not
Brajesh, Take your own time….
Thanks anith
I am back.Just looking the files now.let us hope for today or latest by tomorrow the theme will be released, I have to test it in IE6,IE7,ff 3.x,ff3.5.x,safari and opera before making public
Thanks for checking the IE6 and IE7 compatibilities. As much as some theme designers would like to dismiss IE, there are just too many visitors from around the world who still use those two browsers.
Cheers.
Yup. Will be checking the links by tomorrow..
We are now waiting for a download link theme…
Me too…
so far looks like a great theme, cant wait anymore. how much time it will take?
Any Updates Brajesh, Seems you are fixing some BUGS…..
hi anith
Thanks for the comments. I am working specifically on IE6 bugs as It has too many rendering problem in IE6(you know float and margin).
rest of the theme is ready. I am going to work today even in IST to complete this(usually I work in PST).
I do not want to delay it anymore ,but If I release it without making bug free, you know the results. I assure you, the wait for 1-2 day is worth it. I have quiet modified the forums/groups page and it looks kinda cool to me.
I will keep you updated but again, I will need at least 6-8 hours from now.
@all, please allow us to work for 1-2 days. It is going to be worth the wait.
any suggestions regarding slideshow, currently I have put it as a widget(we will provide the slideshow widget with theme), so If you don’t want to use the slideshow you don’t have to worry about that.Suggestions please
Hi Brajesh, I know what you mean. Even the default BP themes from way back to 1.1.3 do not play nice with IE6 or IE7. I had to make my own custom theme and used floats instead of margin offsets
In addition, the upcoming BP 1.2 version per testbp.org has a nifty total redesign especially with the Forums section! Alleluia!
heey any updates on the theme?? good luck with those bugs
@all
We are going to have a beta release of cosmic buddy today by 2 PM PST.This release will contain slideshow ,featured footer ,admin options and many more.

Done the slide show as widget and now only a few tweaks at featured bottom, and it will be there

I LOVE this theme and have it up and running, however, none of the bottom links, except for the one to here, work. They all link to the page they are on only. Where can I change this so they work please
hi Elizabeth
I am glad to know you liked it
yes, the footer links are not linked to any page.
Please open the cosmicbuddy/footer.php and just put the links there. you will see the codes there. It is simple html.
In the next version I will make it editable from the wordpress backend.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Brajesh
Ahhh thank you
Another thing….you say to not use the bp admin bar but how would the members get from their blogs to all their profile, groups etc without it? As it is it looks pretty crud (see my site, follow a blog) as all the css seems to have disappeared. Is this something again that I have forgotten to do?
you are most welcome. thanks for pointing that. It seems we need a custom background for adminbar, as the current transparent thing I tried is not working well.also,at someplace, It is getting overridden by the depricated css for adminbar.
I will have an update of this theme tomorrow with all these modifications. It will not require any major change from your existing customization/use just replacing of a few images we will be providing with the updated theme.
Please check back tomorrow.
Thanks
Brajesh
Thank YOU!!
The navigation links here on this site are overlapping with the post titles in Firefox.
thanks Andrea
I was using FF3.0.x so could not find that. Thanks for pointing. I need to improve my testing habit
Need a screenshot?
hi Andrea
Though I am making some modification today a screenshot is highly appreciated
Thanks I think it is a cool theme,
I would just like to make some changes, I am more in favor of simple press to bbpress, would I be able to point the forum tap to another plugin forum?
If so where do I go about to do the changes,
The other thing is the logo, where do I go to do the changes.
I notice too there is a premium account, is the $30 lifetime membership or do I need to renew?
hi Travel
Thanks for the comment.
Yes, you can use simple press, instead of bbpress. If you are not enabling forum from buddypress components, just configure simple press to use the url like yoursite.com/forums and you will need no modification(simple press uses pages for that).
You can change the logo from wordpress backend. All the three logo can be changed from Dashboard->Appearance->Theme Options, you will see there are three options to input the new logo url.
The premium account costs $30 for 3 months(and we are giving one extra month membership free, if you signup before christmas, so It’s four months for $30).
It will enable you to download all the existing/upcoming premium plugins/themes instantly and also you can use our forums for all the helps you need.
Please read more about it here
http://buddydev.com/pricing-and-membership-options/
hope it helps.
Thanks
Brajesh
There was mention about comicbuddy pro. What is the difference in the two, is pro a premium theme? Would we be able to access the theme soon?
hi Travel
yes, Cosmic Buddy pro is a wrongly named premium theme. I say wrongly, because It may confuse many of the people to think It is a premium version of cosmic buddy. which, It is not.
Cosmic buddy is a free theme and we will be enhancing it more, It will remain free for ever.
The cosmic buddy pro(Now we have renamed it to Cosmic Wave, Just something got from google wave, had too many headaches deciding the name
) Is a very different theme with different layout/colors and functionality. I will be posting a sneak peek post about it very soon. I hope to release it on/before Christmas. Please check back later today for a preview of Cosmic Wave theme 
Will you let us know when you have updated the theme?
I am not sure if you have noticed, but I can find nowhere for people to now add friends….
Well, I am not sure too. Just checking an will update soon.
ok, I see, I have missed that button at profile page. Time for updates again. Going to add send Message and Add as Friend at profile page.
Though, The button is available at all other places, except when you visit someone’s profile.
thanks so much for pointing this, don’t know how I overlooked it :S
LOL myself and my members are really testing it.
Another thing, check replying to messages, I get double messages with an error.
Also the links to bp admin in the admin area.
So far thats it LOL Sorry
hi Elizabeth
)
Your feedback have been proved very much helpful in updating the theme till now. Much appreciated(Going to link your site after releasing the final theme here
The double message bug is not appearing at my installation currently, but I will give it a shot again, to see if I can reproduce it.
For everyone looking at this comment, here are the list of updates.
1. Add Friend button on Profile page
2. Send Message button on Profile page(Thinking How Jeff’s privacy component will work with the layout though )
3.Some more css modifications to make the profile wire better(At profile home)
4.Modifying group sidebar to give it a better look(only css)
and some more if i find, If you find any bug(related to layout too), please report, so we can squash every bug, before the final release.
(Please note, current theme is in beta only, as I mentioned In my Post above).
Thanks
Brajesh
WOW Thank you for the linking
Hi Elizabeth:
Now into early January but seems you are not using this theme after-all… just noticed that the 1st Angels site looks like combined setup with BuddyPress ‘and’ Mingle.. do tell..?!?
Ok, it is your theme that caused the message errors. I had to go back to Members default tonight as people could not send messages without errors and showing two or more messages per send.
If I tried to invite people to a group it put it up 4 times. Delete one of those 4 and it deleted all of them.
I am now using your theme for the main page but default BP for members pages.
I do hope you can get this fixed as I really do want to keep using this theme. It is obviously somewhere in the header
hi Elizabeth
Thanks for pointing this again.
I have made all the previous modifications, but I am not happy with the way, the add friend/send message is appearing, that’s why put it for revision and will be releasing as RC1 on Sunday.
Earlier I had tested everything on local install, so some errors may remain there, Like you said. I will be putting it on live site and do complete test before releasing on Sunday again.
Thanks

Hey, How is it going on ? Waiting for RC 1.
hi Anith
Please allow me at least 1 more day. I have fixed the bugs, but you see, some title backgounds are not transparent, so waiting for my designer friend to be here. Doh! I don’t know working with corel files.
The RC1 will be available with all the things fixed and a little bit more polished look tomorrow(21st Dec).
@all
Please suggest improvements for RC1 before it is out, so you have got today to suggest what ever features you will like to see included/improved.
Please let me know here in comments, I will be glad to include the features, before we go RC1 tomorrow.
Thanks
Brajesh
Thanks for working so hard for us, I have mention to you that I prefer to you simple press rather that bbpress for my forum. So is there anyway to integrate the group from simple press. I thought it would be a cool feature.
hi Travel
Currently there is no way to integrate simple press forum to buddypress groups AFAIK.
But In future, there may be extensions available for simplepress/buddypress to allow this. If it is developed, It will be a separate module in itself and will have nothing to do with the theme(obviously except template tags).
I will take a look after this month, as In current month there are a aew important themes/plugin yet to be released and are on my priority right now.
Hope you understand
Thanks
Brajesh
Nice work Brajesh! Let me know if you are contemplating or might be interested in making a news/magazine theme for Buddypress.
edit:corrected my name
after your mail 
thanks Brent
.
yup, I have been thinking about going for a magazine style theme, but that will be for bp 1.2(as It is to be released in next couple of weeks). Let us look forward to it as soon as the bp 1.2 comes out
ok, we will be waiting; we’d pay some money to have some input in it’s layout
thanks
will get in touch with you in next week, when we will start with the magazine theme .
Thanks for this theme and widgets. But I can’t add pictures to slideshow. How can I do?
Thanks for the comment.
here is how you add the pictures.
1. In the widgets section, In cosmic buddy Slideshow widget , you have to specify the category id, whose latest posts will be used.
2. Now when you are writing a post, in the category above mentioned, please use a custom field “slide-image” and put the image url there. This image will be shown in the slide show.
You should add this custom field for each new post in the category you have selected for slideshow, so different images will appear for each post.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Brajesh
I appreciate for your helps, then I could inserted the slideshow in my frontpage succesfully. And I have one more question. Pictures rotate and when I click on pics the post opening. But the text below the pictures not linking to post. All of this texts link is http://www.mysite/# How can I resolve this problem? Thanks you again and again.
hi Murat
The widget is programmed in that way, to make sure when you click on a title, It loads a new slide, not goes to a new page.
If you want to change this behavior, you may have to make some changes in the cb-slides widget code.
Thanks
I cannot get the widgets to stay when I drag them to the right widget boxes. How can I resolve this?
Please help.
hi Chx
This may be a temporary issue with you wpmu. Have you tried other widgets. Are they getting added. If nothing works, try to enable accessibility mode from the screen options and add the widgets then.
The issue you are facing, may be because one of your active plugins have javascript conflict/or some javascript problem.
Hope it helps.
thanks
Brajesh
we will buy new website for testing this theme only.. dont worry , we will help you to find out trouble ……glitches very soon !!…..
keep it up !!

Webmaster
I notice something, if I just load my page, the main page would load and show add widget. That is before I sign in. anyway to allow the admin see that?
hi Travel
sorry for not replaying earlier. I was away for the Christmas celebs. Hope you all have enjoyed Christmas.
are you still experiencing this behavior. You should see the add widget section whether you are logged in or not, if the widget areas are empty.
Please let me know, if you are still facing the issue, I will take a look and assist further.
Thanks
Brajesh
Happy Holidays I hope you enjoyed your Xmas.
Anyway I did place two widgets one welcome and a text widget and it is still that and my side widget is now under the main widget.
hi Travel
That seems to be a problem with mismatched div opening and closing in text widget,as I see, sidebar is getting closed just after the text widget.
Please check the code you have pasted in the text widget. It may have unclosed div.

Thanks !
hmm.. thanks for the comment. Well, if you mean the exact theme as shown in the screenshot 1, there there has been some small variations in development to adapt to bp better.

Can someone help me how to install cosmic buddy and customize menus. I tried installing software, some of the links are not working for example login and signup.
hi Ram
Please let me know the problems. I will be glad to help you.
Please go though the post above, I have posted enough details, and Have a look at the “widget configuration” I have recommended.
Which menus you want to change(top/bottom).Can you point me to your site(either here or PM me).
Please let me know, I will be glad to help.
Thanks
Brajesh
I wanted to change both the top bar and bottom bar. I changed the headr to keep the required items but those items are not actually working. For example profile, groups, invite friend, inbox are added to the top bar in the header file may be i am specifying wrong slugs there. Can you please tell me an easy way of pointing those links.
hi Ram
The problem is for each logged in user the nav liks will be different in that case. It does not work on specific slugs, as the links you want to put are dependent on current user
I will advise you taking a look here

@Brajesh – I sent a msg via your contact page and figured I might try here as well – I am using the bp-events plugin and the style is all messed up with the CosmicBuddy theme (which I really like – BTW). Is this the appropriate place to seek help modifying the css of bp-events to match CosmicBuddy?
@roydeanjr
Thanks for the mail and the comment here.
Yes, I will be glad to help you with the css of the events plugin.
It should be basically using the layout of cosmic buddy for the event template.
Please allow me to get back to you with the converted template of bp-events for cosmic buddy on 2nd January as currently I am working on bp-gallery to be released on first January.
hope you don’t mind it.
Thanks

By all means . . . i am just lucky that you are willing to help. I am at your mercy with gratitude immeasurable. And Thank you!
Hi,
Just changed my theme to cosmicbuddy and now the login link doesnt work – any ideas?
Thanks,
Shai
hi Shai
You mean the login link in the top navigation(right side top) or the login link in the buddypress admin bar.
Either edit the login link in the top navigation bar or use the cb-addons widgets and ad the login widget in the sidebar. The login link will be auto linked to the login widget location.
Let me know, if you need further assistance.
thanks
Brajesh
Yeah the link at the top navigation is not working and I see that it is bad.
where do I edit it?
How do I ad the slideshow widget (or any other widget)?
what are the cb-addon widgets and how do I add them? in the available widgets I couldnt find any login widget.
Sorry for the beginner questions…
Thanks,
Shai
hi Shai
Please look at the bottom of the post. There are links for all the downloads.
You need to get a little bit fimilar with wordpress theme/widgets/plugin if you are a beginner.
Wordpress codex is a great place to start with.
Please go through the post above again, I have mentioned all the things properly how do you activate widgets/add widgets.
Don’t mind, but I would request you to go through the post again and all your links/widgets will be working properly if you followed the setup.
Thanks

as you see the tab media does work like other
thnks
hi Jack
Your comment went to spam(I don’t know why ), so i could not see it earlier.Just found it now and whitelisted it.
The problem is with the kalatura plugin ouputs the css and uses !important keyword to override the css.
The solution will be
go to your wp-content/plugins/rt-bp-kaltura-plugin/css/rt_media_add_icon_css.css
and comment the two lines there.It will work perfectly. If you don’t want to comment both the lines, just comment out the margin-right and the padding.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Brajesh
go to your wp-content/plugins/rt-bp-kaltura-plugin/css/rt_media_add_icon_css.css
I can not find this file…. Also I pasted the whole rp-bp-kultura-theme in cosmic folder, and it worked.
It shows the options in profile but now they are being showed as shown in following image:-
http://i45.tinypic.com/2vnrihw.gif
Please can you guide me on how to resolve this, In my thought it looks like some css problem.
I downloaded the buddypress-kaltura pack for buddypress 1.1
Thank you
hi Raghav
You will need to theme the kalatura plugin.
Please check their plugin, I think It supports theming now.
Use the plugin-template.php as a base file for theming.
If you have any issues, please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
First of all, thanks for a very nice theme!
Now I have some issues with the theme:
1. When I’m adding widgets in the sidebar some of them appears at the bottom of the site instead of in the sidebar? Why is that?
Kind regards,
Daniel
Thanks Daniel
Please make sure you are adding the widgets to the correct widget area(sidebar), If you are doing so, It should not happen.
Are you using any text widget(with html , if a div is not closed properly, this may be another reason).
Please let me know in details and I will be glad to help.
Thanks
Brajesh
Yes, I’m using text-widgets with html but none of them includes div. It’s just img-links and standard links.
It’s nothing with the CSS?
/Daniel
@Brajesh – Is it possible to add a menu section to show the pages for the website? Style it like the top theme menu except that it would display in the header section where the logo displays. With pulldowns for any child pages, etc.
hi Roy
Thanks for asking. Yes, I think It can be.
Can you give me a little more idea.
Do you mean where the bigger logo displays(that should be replaced with this).
Please clarify. I think It is achievable and can be done, just need a little bit more insight.
Thanks

The featured bottom(if you mean the rea where sitwide comments/tags is displayed) is not a widigitized area, I will advise you to edit featured-bottom.php or create a child theme with home.php/featured-bottom.php and edit it.
You can widigitize this area and then go ahead with adding the FOL widgets.
Thanks
Brajesh
it works, thanks very much
you are most welcome
Hi,
Thanks!
I started from scratch and its all working now.
one more question. I want to use the slideshow and sure to what you are referring when you are saying posts and categories.
I want to be able to display images as I choose.
Is there a way to do so and also is there a more specific example of how a slideshow widget should be configured?
Thanks again,
Shai
ok – i was able to get the the posts to appear on the slideshow but not the images. I used the full URL from the media panel but I am not seeing the image in the slideshow and it stays blank.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Shai
Please name the post meta key as “slide-image” and It will automatically take the image from your posts meta.
Thanks
Brajesh
Not sure what you mean by post meta key.
Per the instructions I have created a custom field in the post called slide-image and set its value to be the full url of the image. Is that what you refer to as the meta key?
when i do view source on my page and on the page of your example site it looks the same to me but still the image is not displayed.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
Thanks,
Shai
Ok, thanks!
Here are a few other problems:
1. I’m trying to invite a member to a hidden group, however, when the member opens the notifications there is no accept invitation button.
2. In the profile I miss the buttons for friend request.
Kind regards,
Daniel
hi Daniel
On 16th there will be a new version available of cosmic buddy which will address all the issues pointed in comments. I will post a revision log after putting the new version online.
Thanks
Brajesh
ok everyone, the release has been delayed because of my other priority towards another plugin. It will will be available anytime next week, I will update this post with the dates,once I get the things complete.
Hi again,
Another issue that I am noticing in my tests is that when I am going into a member profile I dont see anywhere the buttons to ‘add friend’ or ‘send message’ to this member. is that on purpose? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Shai
looks like this is the same on your demo site as well:
http://bpthemes.buddydev.com/comicbuddy/members/xibbv/
please let me know if this is indeed the case.
Thanks,
Shai
Yeah, I have the same question. I miss thoose alternatives as well. Hopefully they will come in next version?
yes, the add friend/send message button is missing on profile page. It is resolved at my dev version, I am doing a few more revs and I will put the new version available for download on 16th.
Thanks
Brajesh
Hello,
I wanted to know that is there a way that I can add up pages in the top-nav-bar, where the following buttons exists:-
home
blog
members
groups
forums
blogs
etc..
I mean just below the admin panel.. where you have your small logo on top.
Thank you please reply soon.
Also can you help me in a bit of coding work.
Thank you and congrats on making such a wonderful theme..
Regards.
i’d really like to know how to make that work…
i’ve been trying a few different things, but all i seem to do is break the menu…
it’d be great to be able to add these pages
@Raghav,@Brenton
You will need to play with the css/xhtml a little bit to make it work.
Please check the header.php and edit it for links.
to make the links look good in navigation, you will need to make some changes in css.
Thanks
Brajesh
Hello everyone,
Does anyone here know about how to install buddypress ajax chat? thanks a lot…

if i want the region of “Site Wide Activity” just show the action ,not includ the detail like the content of post, how can i do? or how can i contral the content display,ex filter the media file out in the region of “Site Wide Activity” and “Recent Site Wide Posts”?

For this you will need to modify the activity widget.
here is a small help on that

I have no idea of what is the ID I need in BBSlide. Can you please give me a good understanding about that concern.
Thanks

Hi !
Not sure what bbslide is, but in order to find out what ID a category has. go to Posts-> Categories.
Hover with your mouse over the link, and the ID should show in the status part of your browser.

Hi Brajesh,
Is the update available now?
Hi
what have i missed – i am new to all this buddypress etc – and i cant get this working
do i upload this to my themes? or buddypress themes? then how do i activate it? or get to the controls to modify it?
sorry – probably basic questions – but i cant seem to get this – and no instructions
hi Jb
Please upload this to wp-content/themes, then go to Dashboard->SiteAdmin->Themes, Enable this theme , Go to Dashboard->Appearance and activate. This should work.
Hi,
Some other bugs:
-In messages it’s no breaks between the lines. Instead the text is just written a top of each other.
-Is it possible to show the latest post in a forum thread at the top instead of at the bottom? It’s annoying to press next-page each time you want to respond to a popular forum thread.
Looking forward to next release!
Kind regards,
Daniel Bergstrom
hi Daniel
Thanks for the Bug reports. I will check the message section and confirm that.
yes, a little editing in groups/single/forum/index.php will allow that.
I am sorry, I have been very Busy with another plugin, and could not update this theme.
Today, i was pointed by MrMaz, on your problem in the bp forum. I have already put a message there.
The update will be available as soon as I get the gallery release. So, I expect the updates for cosmicbuddy to be available anytime next week.
Thanks
Brajesh
I didn’t see anything referring to this issue here, but I’m having a problem with clickable links in the Slider. Right now the links only point to ‘#’ and don’t refer to the Featured articles that reside within.
Is there a way to associate this text in the slider with the appropriate page link?
hi Roxanne
yes, It can be associated.
Open the cb-slides widgets php file, you will see a loop there, put the_permalink() in place of the #
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Brajesh
Hi all
Any news about the updated version?
Thanks
hi Wilson
I have updated this post about the coming updates.
I am currently a little bit busy with gallery plugin, so expect it after gallery is released. So a guess is next week any time the updates will follow for this theme.

Thank You foryour input here….
Let´s wait a bit for the update.

Hi Mr. Admin.
How do I post the Picture in the BB slide.?
The Picture doest show at the slide. I put the pirtures’ url in the Custom Field.
Can u give me a short procedure?
Please help. Thnx.
hi sw33trockz
Please go to Appearance->widgets and specify the category Id in the cosmic Buddy slideshow.
Then while posting in that category, use a custom field, give it a name “slide-image” and put its value as the url of image associated with the posts.
It will automatically fetch that image. Hope it helps.
Thanks
Brajesh
Hi Brajesh. Thanks for the procedure.! It helps.
Hi Brajesh,
I really like your Cosmic Buddy Free Theme. Therefore i’ve got a question: Do you plan to update the Cosmic Buddy Free Theme to the new BuddyPress 1.2 which
will be out in a couple of weeks?
Thank you for the information.
Ad
hi Ad
Thanks for the comment.
yes, I will be updating cosmic buddy for bp 1.2. A beta of bp 1.2 is expected in 2 weeks, so a soon as beta is out, I will update this theme for bp 1.2
Thanks
Brajesh
Thanks Brajesh for the quick reply!
I’m looking forward to it!
Since buddypress 1.2 is now released.
When will this theme be Buddypress 1.2 compatible?
hi Patrick
yes, Bp 1.2 beta is out today, I will need a few days to release this theme for bp 1.2. Do you have suggestions for 1.2(other than the bug fixes mentioned above) , please let me know.
Thanks
Brajesh
Excellent theme. I’m making heavy modifications for a project I am working on. Feel free to take a look.
I am trying to edit the category page for this theme, but am getting lost in the hierarchy. Could you point me in the right direction?
Thanks again. Learning a lot from your code.
you site looks very nice. very well adaption of the theme.
For category page, currently it comes from cosmicbuddy/archive.php
Please make a copy of it and rename it to category.php (because archive.php is used for date based archive/author archive too) and make changes in the category.php
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Brajesh
Brajesh,
Nevermind, found what I was looking for in archive.php. Thanks again for releasing this resource.
hey Warren, sorry I posted the comment and found that you had already the solution
I am interested in your theme, but when will the next update be released to be compliant with BP 1.2 and will it contain the featured posts slider that you mentioned earlier in the comments?
hi Brent
Thanks for the comment. I hope to get a release for bp 1.2 by next week now.
This theme uses another addon (I developed specially for this theme, based on dynamic drives featured content glider), called CB slides, which allow you to use posts from some specific category as slideshow.
So, I am not sure about what do you mean by Featured posts slider, do you mean a featured post slider for wpmu(posts featured by admin from sub blogs too) or something, please clarify, I will be interested to investigate further.
Thanks
Brajesh
What is the licence of this theme. Can I modify it a little for my own site?
hi Peter,
Thanks for the comment. It is GPL licensed and you are free to modify. Unless otherwise specified, all the components/themes available here are GPL .
So feel free to adapt them, and yes, we will glad to see how you adapted, so if you don’t mind, leave back a comment here when you are done
Thanks. Great stuff I really like this theme.
How do I add sitewide activity to the homepage-first-section, and the slideshow I spoke about in my previous comment was mentioned in the forum.
hi Brent
Are you using it with bp 1.1.3. if yes, go to dashboard->Appearance->Widgets and there you can add the Sitewide activity widget. This theme is not updated for bp 1.2 yet, so if you mean bp 1.2 , then it may need some additional work.
Thanks for a fantastic theme!
Is it possible to change slug, permalink for the member section? Where can I change it? All help appreciated!
hi Fredrik
Thanks for the comment. Yes, you can change all the slugs.
The slugs/permalink are not dependent in the theme. Create a bp-custom.php in your plugins directory, and customize the slugs.
here is more information.

Hope it helps.
This is a great post! Was wondering if you could help me out.
I downloaded the slides widget but I don’t know where to upload it into my public_html folder to activate the widget in WordPress MU…could you please direct me?
I put into public_html but I don’t see it available in WordPress dashboard at widget.
-Thanh
hi Thanh
Thanks for the comment.
Please unzip cb-slides and upload it to public_html/wp-content/plugins and it will be available in the wordpress backend to activate.
Alternatively, login to wordpress mu Backend, the Go to Plugins->Add New, select “upload” from the top links on add new page and browse the zip file and upload. Then after uploading, click on activate and It should be available for you in widgets section.
Hope it helps. If you find any issues, please let me know.

Hi Sameer,
I am new to wordpress.
I have installed wordpress mu and buddypress plugin on my site http://mymissindia.com/wpmu and cb theme.
But my login button is not working. I followed your comment and downloaded the cb-addons and cb-slides widgets.
But I dont know in which folder should I put these widget ?
Could you help me in that?
hi Sameer
Thanks for the comment.
Please either use the wp-admin->Dashboard->Plugins and Add New Plugin,m you will see the upload link on the add plugin page, to upload the cb-addond/cb-slides, then It will show you the option to activate.
Alternatively, if you want you can use FTP to upload this to your wp-content/plugins dir.
Then you can activate those and use them as shown in the post above.
hope it helps.
Thanks
Brajesh
Also I just noticed that at bottom page all links in linbar i e “about us”,”privacy policy”, “Terms of Use” etc points to http://mymissindia.com/wpmu/members/admin/ only
yeh, that was intentional. Those are not linked, so will seem to be linked to the current page to the user. Pleas edit cosmicbuddy/footer.php with the links.

looking forward for your new release tomorrow.

Any news on the update of the theme?
Hi Brajesh
You could use the CU3ER Image Slider (it’s free to use) instead of the actual image slider in the COSMIC BUDDY Theme.
Just a thought of me, I think it looks cool
http://www.progressivered.com/cu3er/
@all
I apologize for missing the update of cosmicbuddy, but the project I had been working on has got some issue with client side javascript so, I am unable to work on it at the moment. Please do not expect any update before Sunday.
Buddypress 1.2 RC was released yesterday, so what ever the update will be It will require some time to make it compatible with bp 1.2(you see the wire is lost). I will post update on Sunday about any details.
Thanks
Brajesh
Hi Brajesh,
I guess you are working hard for the update! Thank you.
Just a thought!

hi Prabhu
Thanks for the comment.
I am sorry to say, there will be no updates for buddypress 1.1.3 anymore.
The updates are coming for buddypress 1.2 and it will be available within 2-3 days of release of buddypress 1.2 stable.
Hi Brajesh,
Thanks for your response!
I’m using the theme for one of my site but register page has some problem and its not showing up.
on click of signup the page gets refereshed but stayes in home page & does not show the register form. I tried to resolve this to best of my knowledge but no luck…
could you please help me to fix this.
Cheers
Prabhu
Is this theme on its way ? I’ve been loking forward to see it..
Jim
I have seized the update for bp 1.1.3 and the updates coming are for buddypress 1.2 only.
There are so many changes happening each day, so please let buddypress 1.2 come out as stable and the theme will be updated within 2-3 days of buddypress 1.2 coming as stable.
Thanks
Brajesh
Me too
like to have this great theme for 1.2
Peter,
there will be no update for bp 1.1.3.
The update coming out is for Buddypress 1.2. I have been monitoring the trac, and there are so many changes happening each day. As per my guess, If buddypress 1.2 comes out soon, the cosmic buddy for bp 1.2 will be available by 18th. Again, It all depends on buddypress 1.2 and when it comes out. It is a real problem to keep updating the theme with the trac. so, Please do not mind the lag and let us look forward to buddypress 1.2 soon.
Hi,
Thank you for this theme,
I want add information into the profil (now, I have just the name)
And in the edit page I have just one field.
But in edit.php there are more than one field
Why?
How can I do?
Thank you
Please check from dashboard->Buddypress->Profile fields setup. You can add/delete/modify fields there. It is a buddypress functionality.
Thanks
Brajesh
Waiting for an update =). Please let us know when it is available. Can’t wait!
Hi Fredrik
Finally good news here. buddypress 1.2 stable released yesterday, so I am working on all my themes/plugins. This weekend there will be all the theme and plugins updated for Buddypress 1.2

Thank you!
Thanks for the comment. It is in progress. Let me see whether I am able to complete today or not
Does this work with buddypress 1.2 on standard wordpress(not mu).
Brajesh,
Would you consider doing a private network version of Cosmic Buddy? Something like a welcome screen requiring login or registration before allowing access to the main theme/site. Obviously any attempt to access any part of the site without first logging in, would result in a redirect to the welcome page.
Regards
Nick
hi Nick,
That is something I had initially in mind, just gave up to make it open like buddypress does. Thanks for the tip, will be doing that. Currently I am porting cb to 1.2 and status/wire merge is causing headaches to keep it looking like the old one. still working
Good luck with the upgrade, fingers crossed it all goes well.
I know Jeff had/was working on a privacy plugin, but to be honest, that was way too complex for my needs.
Keep up the great work

when do you estimate that this theme will be completed for buddypress 1.2?
hi Scott, I have upgraded some part of it. It is not yet fully functional, my initial estimates did not work because of the huge structure change in bp 1.2. And cosmic buddy has very different manipulation of wire, to getting the new one to behave as cosmic buddy is causing some troubles, at least 3-4 more days for bp1.2 will take.
Thanks

Hi there,
I am playing around with the header menu and the selected tab CSS. I have added more menu options than was supported by the theme.
Original code: <li class=”selected”><a href="/” title=”">
I want to replace “BP_MEMBERS_SLUG” with the new page that I have created (for example “/start.php”. And make that url link when it is active… How do I do this?
oops the code disappeared. …if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) : ?> class=”selected”<?php endif; …
modified it some.
Remove the conditional, just put the link.
It should not dis appear.
Sorry, I was not clear enough in my question. I want the new page that I manually put in the url of, to be highlighted when it is active (class=”selected”). I figured I could do this if I replaced “BP_MEMBERS_SLUG” in some way…
I solved it with a CSS modification. Thanks for your support.

What widget you used homepage-first-section?
Anurag, The theme is in progress to be updated for bp 1.2, I have changed the demo site to reflect the current theme for 1.2.1.
It was using the older siteWide activity, I am going to ship an activity widget with the theme for 1.2.1, so you will have the same experience.
My profile link and members link not working. Can you tell me why?
Anurag, As I mentioned in your previous post, this theme was not compatible with bp 1.2.
I have updated it, but not provided a download link yet, because I need to put some more effort and do some custom widgets for the theme.
Please wait for 1 more day, you can have the exact same functionality as it was for bp 1.1.3 with the additional bp 1.2 features included in the theme.
Is it possible to use the slideshow plugin without having to use the whole theme. I need a slideshow widget that I can use in the default theme, will the slideshow work with 1.2?
I guess, It should work with any theme. The on;ly thing if you may have to modify will be some css in the plugin.
Hi Brajesh,
Can you give us a quote about the upgrade of the Cosmic Buddy to 1.2?
When do you think you will have it?
Thanks,

hi Ad,
The theme is updated for bp 1.2.1
You can see it working with bp 1.2.1 on the demo site(Just updated 1 day ago).
there are a few things remaining there, so I guess now It should be today/tomorrow.
The theme is coming with a few plugins/widgets like site wide activity widget, bp-wire plugin.
You may see some more updates here
http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/cosmic-buddy-updates-what-features-you-would-like-to-see
It should not be delayed much now.
In the this theme remove the wire cos its confussing or make it an option plugin and use Activity Streams which as wire included same as BP1.2
Also check the logo in FF 3.5.8 for overlapping!
hi
Yes, Wire is coming as an additional plugin.
I have made sure to make it non confusing.
When you are on someone else’s profile youwill se the wire to post them a message or use the @mention to send them the message.
When you are on your own profile, you won’t see the post box for wire, rather you will see the post box fro activity.
Yes, if you want to post to your own wire, you can go to Your profile->Wire and make the post.
Still, wire is an optional plugin and you may want to use it or not use it.
Thanks

I’ve now been waiting for the promised upgrade of this theme for over 2-months. I become a premium-member but couldn’t use the gallery-plugin because this theme didn’t support bp 1.2. Can you either re-fund me or give me a final date (that you will not change time after time).

Hi, really impressed with this theme, it looks brilliant. I am very new to buddypress and really want to learn but am struggling with setting up my site. This is probably a very stupid question but please could you advise me on how to set up the user profile pages? I want each user/member to have their own page but I can’t seem to get this working. Can you point me in the right direction, apologies in advance for asking about something so basic. Any help would be very much appreciated, a dummies guide would be perfect!
Thanks again, Shona
hi Shona
Just checked your site.
The problem is you have uploaded the theme to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes.
Remove that bp-cosmicbuddy from bp-themes(take a backup for later use).
Please download the new theme from here
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/cosmic-buddy-theme-for-buddypress-1-2-available-now/
Then, upload it to wp-content/themes.
Go to backend(if you are using wpmu), wp-admin->SiteAdmin->Themes and allow cosmic Buddy theme.
Go to Appearance->Themes and activate.
If you are on single wp, go to Wp-admin/Appearance->themes and activate cosmic buddy. It will solve all the issues.
Thank you so much Brajesh, perfect now! Its very annoying, as my Host (Easyspace) installed it for me and put it in the wrong place and I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t working!
Thanks again, you have saved my sanity!
You are most welcome
I am glad, I could help.
Thanks
Brajesh
Please help!
Hey Brajesh,
Tank you very much for this theme. So i got my old profil design back. But I’am searching for the Login box on top on the right site for the Members. Could ypu help me?
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english…
hi Phil
Thanks for the comment.
Please add the login widget to profile-sidebar top widget area.
This should solve the problem.
Thanks
Brajesh
Thanks!!
I got this theme and am already using it. Very simple to use, great design.
hi There
Thanks for the comment
I am glad you liked it
I have to also update WordPress MU. Any suggestions on the order. Should I update WordPress BEFORE I update the new Cosmic theme?
hi Roxanne
The best way will be , Upgrade WPMU then Upgrade Buddypress and then upgrade the theme.
Thanks! Makes perfect sense too, will do!
you are most welcome
Make sure to take a backup of your theme before upgrading to new one, your css will come handy, as I see you have very much customized theme.
If it is ok, please use the css from your old theme in a child theme of cosmicbuddy, so future upgrades will never break your theme.
Thanks
Brajesh
Yup, always do backups! I think most of my changes are in the child theme files, either cosmic or buddypress (mostly cosmicbuddy theme). Thanks for the tips!
Hi Brajesh. I’m using CosmicBuddy theme. But I can’t post any update in my groups with this theme. Please help me. But if I use another themes then it is solved.
hi Soubhik
The theme is designed to model around old orkut, that’s why there is no post update button on the group screen.
If you still want that feature let me know, I will post how to enable that.
Thanks
Brajesh
Hi Brajesh, can you help me how to insert image into the Slideshow Widget. I tried many times but it faile.
hi Soubhik
PLease Go to apperance->Widgets and in the Settings of CB Slides,
Please insert the category id of featured posts.
While posting a post in the feature category, create a custom field “slide-image” and put the url of the image there and save.
This will be automatically taken as the slide image.
Let me know if you need further hep.
Thanks
Brajesh
If I go here for example, the members of this groups (to the right) isn’t well paginated, how can I have them side by side instead of as it is now?

hi Daniel
Thanks for pointing to the issue.
Please put following in the css
#cosmicbuddy #right-column ul.horiz-gallery li{height:85px;}
This should solve the issue.
I just installed this theme yesterday to try it out, and it isn’t adding my pages to the navigation bar. The only pages showing up are the ones that are default for the theme. There are also no theme options beyond options for the logo. ????? Is there a read-me text file or other theme options/instructions for this theme?
hi
Currently there is no readme file. You can add pages to header using the code wp_list_pages, but It may make the header navigation to break into multiple lines, that’s why I avoided it.
Thanks
Brajesh
