Installing BuddyPress for SportsPress
The BuddyPress integration requires that both BuddyPress and SportsPress are installed and active before the extension is activated.
Requirements
WordPress with BuddyPress installed and active
SportsPress 2.0.8 or newer
The BuddyPress for SportsPress plugin file (downloaded from your ThemeBoy account)
Steps
Confirm BuddyPress is active under Plugins.
Confirm SportsPress (free or Pro) is active and that you have at least one player or staff record.
Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
Upload the
buddypress-for-sportspress.zipfile you downloaded from your ThemeBoy account.Click Install Now, then Activate.
On first activation the plugin migrates legacy data: any value previously stored under the _bsp_user_player_id user-meta key is moved into the post_author field of the matching player post. This silent migration runs once and updates the bp_sportspress_version option to record completion.
Verification
Log in to the WordPress admin with a user account that does not have an associated player record.
Visit the user's BuddyPress profile on the frontend. A SportsPress tab should appear in the profile navigation, but it will not yet show events because the user is not linked to a player record. Linking is covered in the Usage article.
