Didn’t my first code work for you? Did you say it worked?

You should have a wp-config.php ;), everybody with a correct wordpress install should.

Hi Virtali

Thanks for getting back to me but the code above didnt seem to work in the wp-config.php file it just caused another error. Should it be in the wp.config as it’s a Buddypress feature? I tried looking for a bp-config.php but couldnt find one.

Cheers

Andy

@gunju2221 Hi Virtuali

I was wondering if you could help me as I am a bit of a newbie on here. I was wondering if it were possible to change the order of the menu categories on the profile pages? So for example:

Profile – Activity – Messages – Friends – Groups – Settings instead of the normal order Activity – Profile – Messages – Friends -…[Read more]

@andywhittaker Place this in your wp-config.php file.

define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

Look in the plugins template folder and any file that has a sidebar.php call at bottom will need the left sidebar added.

The problem I am having is that on some pages the left side bar is not appearing. Here are some link so you can see wha I mean:
