Thanks r-a-y, thanks Mike Pratt!

Ok, I figured out what causes the problem:

As soon as I activate the BuddyPress Privacy Component (BPAz) the two buttons (Add Friend/Send Message) disappear. Even if I disable the function for users to decide whether to allow others to add them as a friend or not the buttons do not show up.

After deactivating the plugin the buttons re-appear so its clearly a problem with the privacy component. I am running WPMU 2.8.6 and and BP 1.1.3.

Anyone an idea how to make tha work because I really like the privacy component

That’s funny … that was actually my first topic but I didn’t see the last post (temporary solution). Thanks Peterverkooijen

I will! Just about to learn how to create a child theme properly Thanks Brajesh!

[do77]

Resolved! I made a mistake on the options page…

[do77]

Thanks for your reply! So let me get this right before I start:

1) I create a child theme, i.e.’ bp-default-child’ and copy all files EXCEPT the style.css

2) I create a new custom stylesheet ‘custom.css’ and import the following sheet:

/* Parent styles */

@import url( ../bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );

@import url( ../bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );



/* Custom styles */

@import url( _inc/css/custom.css);

3) Then, I use firebug to find out the #div names and customize the colors. So let’s say the top navigation is called #topnav I add

#topnav {background-color:#newcolor;}

to my custom css file

4) I link to that file in the header of my child theme

5) Done

Is that about how I have to do it so it would work correctly?

Thanks a lot!!

I figured that there is a simple way but I am new to BP

Thanks to both of you!!

Ok, I figured out the problem. Whenever I deleted the ‘old’ database I created a new one with the same name at the same time. This caused the problems I have had.

Thank you to everyone who responded!

I did download the 2.8.6 version from there (r-a-y did as well I believe), set up a new database and installed the 2.8.6 version. When I then log into the backend it tells me I am running version 2.9.1.1 (it says it in the footer and does not remind me to upgrade).

I think that is really weird….

[do77]

Ok, so I downloaded the version from the link r-a-y posted and uploaded it to my server and it suddenly tells me that I created my blog with MU 2.9.1.1. How is it possible that I upload the old version but end up with the new version?

I need the 2.8.6 so the privacy component would work …. anyone an idea what’s going on or how I can fix that problem.

Thanks a lot!!

[do77]

Cool. I appreciate it r-a-y…

For people that might have the same problem … the privacy component only works up to wpmu version 2.8.6

[do77]

So I installed the plugin but it does not seem to work properly. It created a new tab for navigation link Buddypress called ‘Privacy Settings’ but when I click on that link to open the site I get an ‘Page not found error’.

I have noticed that every page under the same tab (Buddypress) looks like

e.g. mydomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-general-settings

but the Privacy Page tries to open like this:

mydomain.com/wp-admin/bp-privacy-settings

Has anyone had the same problem? Or does someone know how to fix it or what the reason could be?

Thanks!!

Thanks Brajesh! That seems like what I was looking for
