    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!

    Resolved! I made a mistake on the options page…

    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….

    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!!

    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!!
