It’s a known issue and will hopefully be dealt with when the site gets an overhaul.

? for sure? how can you tell or have you inside knowledge?

It tells you right there where to look for the file? It’s either there or you have a copy of it in your child theme.

@naved you are now essentially running two threads on the same question, you need to keep to one only as it’s confusing and wasteful of peoples time if they respond on one where it’s already been answered on the other.

I have covered most of this now on another thread 😉

Tell us what folder though! if you are refering to a child theme folder then it’s possible it doesn’t WP uses a template hierarchy system this means that it looks for files first in the theme folder then if the theme says it’s a child theme WP looks to the parent theme for the file […]

As Paul links to this is being worked on, but it’s a much harder task than at first it appears 🙂

For now your best means of locating is FireBug highlighting the element on the page and checking what rulesets and line numbers are shown below in the right sidebar

using very strong wallpaper paste, slapped loads on 🙂 selected the text in left pane and then selected right click copy – not ‘copy html’ or ‘copy inner html’ pasted in the forum using backticks correct place? if it works there it should be ok There is a favourite button if you go to ‘activity’ […]

This is the structure and naming you have to play with: div id="rss-2" class="widget widget_rss"> <a class="rsswidget" title="Syndicate this content" href="http://rss.imdb.com/daily/born/"> </a><a class="rsswidget" title="IMDb Born On This Date RSS Feed" href="http://www.imdb.com/rg/rss/BORN-channel/OnThisDay">Born on this Day </a> so all you…[Read more]

open up header.php find: Add page id you don’t want to show as a comma separated list after the ‘exclude=’ parameter. BP 1.3 will handle this better as you can use the wp 3.* nav manus more effectively to build custom menus with BP pages actually using pages so easily selectable. Or you can […]

So the rss widget is not using a h# element then? You restyled the title text assuming they would all be h3? Look at the rss widget find it’s parent element ( widgets all have a common class of ‘widget’ and perhaps the widgets name also the widget id the last two are unique so […]

@4ella no DO use a child theme, if all you want to do is some basic CSS styling ten you only nee to create the most basic child theme with a style.css file in it. Follow this guide it’s very straightforward: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ If you now activate your theme in the dashboard it will…[Read more]

try the process in reverse to find out what the cause is, activate the theme but no plugins and see how the site performs, if still ok activate plugins one by one checking each time to see how the site runs.

There was a useful BP utility plugin called ‘buddypress-restrict-group-creation’ writen by Rich == Description == This plugin will restrict creating groups and group settings to certain WP Capabilities and various member thresholds (forum posts, friends, status updates, days since registered, achievements) In addition, this plugin will auto-demote…[Read more]

FF has a history of bad memory management, and too many open tabs doesn’t help, restarting the browser usually clears the memory down a bit.

@naved I thought I had ? /wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/footer.php your-theme-name equals whatever theme you have installed and are using if you are using the bp-default theme then it’s in: /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/footer.php But you don’t really want to edit the core theme as the changes will be overwritten when you…[Read more]

activate BP default theme disable all plugins except BP if you are still experiencing slow times then it’s your server that is the problem and that we can’t really advise on.

It’s slow on initial get request with times approx 8 secs ( that feels reminiscent of the issue I had that I tracked down to a WP DB update running) it’s hard to say, however, exactly what is causing this subsequent pages are better @ ~2secs. one thing that ought to be corrected; you are […]

You wont send emails from your localhost machine unless you configure a mail relay such as Sendmail to use an existing smpt server i.e your ISP’s. You don’t need to send/receive the emails though simply create a new member in the backend, assign them a password and then log in as them

I keep a test site live running WP 3.1/BP 1.2.8 a few plugins , some test stuff -generally I expect it to be a bit of a mess yet after the initial page load of 1.5 secs( too slow ) all pages load in around 600ms @naved your times suggest something very wrong but where is […]

This is a WP matter, there are a handful of plugins that provide this, have a search through the WP plugin repository. (adding posts from the frontend is not normal though and I don’t see that users should, how hard is it to grasp using the dashboard of which a ‘contributor’ gets a very simplified […]
