So I get a new message today that says:
There is a new version of BuddyPress available. View version 1.7 details or update now.
I am still on 1.6.5 and cautious to upgrade. Word of advice?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

@mercime trying to combine the activity stream and latest blog posts on the front page. I do have the activity stream showing but for some reason without the text box where one could enter the desired message.

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Some more information which I missed to mention:
Default theme – default buddypress theme
Secondary – a responsive theme called BUDDY

Shortcode came from the secondary Buddy theme
A complete list of this short-codes could be found here
http://demo.ghostpool.com/buddy/features/shortcodes/

It does have a short code for showing the activty stream
on FrontPage but it does not include input text box with it
Open for suggestions how to implement the input text box

@mercime – shortcode from the template itself to show posts/activity stream
We fixed it but have no clue how. This is what we did:
[1] rolled back to 1.6.4 – no improvement
[2] upgraded to 1.7.2 [beta] again no improvement
[3] got sick of looking at it and upgraded again to 1.6.5
and it worked as a charm – have no reasonable explanation except
if you guys have improved something in the ditro since Sunday

On a similar note, is there a short code for showing the comment box
on top of the activity stream which we’re showing on the front page?
THANKS!!!

disabled all plugins – did a plugin reset as well
no improvement – any advice from this point on?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

so after much looking there’s NO error in the error log
at least not since April 2012 {last year} – what do we
do now? is roll back possible – or short code re-write?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Does it matter that we have not installed any new plugins since 1.4 and have upgraded several times since then without problem? What could be affected by simple short code?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Shows: HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

Server error

cannot get to the log right now to see what causes it

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

UPDATE – default theme works after update
secondary theme works partially
homepage and blog page which have short code in them
crash server Error 500 – any ideas for an workaround?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

just experienced that very badly
Server error HTTP 500
How do I rollback to 1.6.4 which was working?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 4 months, 1 week ago]

Thanks.
Installed the weekly digest. Set it up for WED 9am
but no updates were sent today + que shows empty!!!
Do I need to do anything else?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 4 months, 1 week ago]

Thanks.
I used an old trick of resetting plugin through renaming plugin directory loging out and returning back to normal BUT it did not do the trick. Add Media does NOT work NOR any of the widgets – anything connecting to AJAX is dead. Any help or jsut wait for WP 3.51?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 7 months, 2 weeks ago]

Thank’s for all ya’ll’s help – Huddlle is releasing a v.1.9 which supposedly resolve the conflict w/BB1.6
However, I will wait to install BB 1.7 and then mess more with the theme. Any word on the release date?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 7 months, 2 weeks ago]

Huddle has 3-4 different sidebar files (blog, front, wide page). I will look there and in the functions file and let you know. Thanks again!

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 7 months, 2 weeks ago]

Like I mentioned, the widgets do not work only when word press is in static front page mode. When changed to blog roll front page, they work, so I made a few modifications to make it look half a way descent. On this note, does buddy press have shortcuts to call the member, groups, etc. widgets the directly from php? Thanks!

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 7 months, 2 weeks ago]

The widgets worked w/v.1.5 so I am assuming its the upgrade.
Is there an easy way to downgrade buddy press?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 7 months, 3 weeks ago]

The template shows its own widgets. It has a set of huddle tab posts, huddle tweets, huddle video. They show fine. However, when I drag and drop the buddy press native widgets like members, groups, etc., they do not show. Any suggestions?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 7 months, 3 weeks ago]

After playing around with it this morning, I was able to activate one of the native Huddle widgets. The generic widgets, however, still do not show. Any suggestions?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 8 months, 1 week ago]

@mercime Agreed. It took me a week to figure it out. Finally, copied the default.css to my child theme and began modifying it there. I just need to remove few extra borders here http://ourcog.org/ and style the menu effects like http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/

Definitely, a lesson learned the hard and time consuming way.

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 8 months, 1 week ago]

hey thanks – I am still new to buddy press and dealing with my own theme struggle here but may be I should just switch themes

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 8 months, 1 week ago]

@mercime got it – took me forever but the .css was all the way in
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css

Had to add two extra div-s in the custom.css:
div#container, div#header, div#content, div#content .padder, div#footer-widgets

Now, how do I remove the space between the div-s?

[bibliataParticipant @bibliata 8 months, 1 week ago]

is this even a buddy press theme?
