You will either have local copies of the files which you used to upload to the site either in zipped format or unzipped or you will have ftp access and would need to download the mentioned file, alternatively perhaps you only have some form of server site control panel in which case it should have […]

hmm for many of us it’s the love of our life but also sadly how we have to struggle to earn a living 🙂 The manual steps you can approach again at any time essentially they are simply visually inspecting theme files and ensuring certain elements are replicated in both, obviously the markup structure from […]

Are you looking at the Network Admin screens? top right menu bar.

*puzzled* I contributed to some and have used various approaches of my own all post dating 1.1 or the transition to the 1.2 stream, but yes guess some are a little complicated but then BP isn’t that simple a thing to code for requiring as it does a little more than basic knowledge.

Erm you could really do with explaining just what issue you are having with avatars as logging into a site to troubleshoot issues starts to become somewhat of a service and mustn’t be taken for granted – if it’s an avatar upload denied error then likely your server user/groups are not correct on your server, […]

I had the same issue, and as you’ve realised it’s the username that’s the problem. Not sure if it corrects itself with future version releases but have a feeling not.

@DJPaul fixed mine up he might be able to do the same for you or perhaps @boonebgorges can.

Making a theme compatible with BP isn’t I’m afraid a one click process and there are some manual steps that must be undertaken and that do require a little coding knowledge – although not much. These two pages in the BP codex will help you, the second probably the best one to read through fisrt. […]

A search of the forum would have thrown up a few posts on this subject that have this and alternative examples.

I mentioned it as the emphasis on 1.2.8 was for compatibility with 1.3, I’m running various test sites, but don’t think I have 1.2.7 running in conjunction with 3.1 any longer nor would have tested extensively for that combo. I doubt there’s an issue necessarily running plugins between BP 1.2.7 to 1.2.8 the issues is […]

It wasn’t referred to the WP forums was it 😉 this posted six hours ago and simultaneously to the WP forum – but best to hedge ones bets I guess. 🙂

3.1 and 1.2.7 ? is this a safe combo? is it not better to take BP to 1.2.8

What are the rules on bumping here?

Try and wait ~24 hours before bumping

It’s not difficult, you should have two options on the buddypress bar there should be an Admin or User Admin link on that will be the option to mark as spammer or you can go to the dashboard -> admin or network admin -> users and check user, select mark as spam from bulk actions […]

sometimes, people think we all do everything for free

That’s a consequence of working in the WP world I’m afraid and of gpl licenses and also of the majority not really understanding what length of work is involved in even the simplest bit of coding when one factors in testing / debugging

@finni3 no I’m trying to get away from this impression I’m a bird! maybe I’ll go with Napoleon Solo he was quite cool 🙂

@mercime darn it, it will have to be pierced brosne man then -always thought he did quite a good job in the part.

You should be able to override styles in the main themes style.css file, you might need to increase the specificity of the selector set to ensure the properties take precedence over others that may be set. #wraper #content #item-nav add in ancestral elements until your styles kick in and have a heavier weight than others […]

This is a heavily customised theme. Generally the support forum here helps with matters related to the running of BuddyPress and the BuddyPress default theme. Although it almost certainly an issue with the themes styling to determine that absolutely one should drop back to the BP default theme to check if the issue still persists. […]

Always check through the Documentation first off as theres often help and guides to be found for common issues.

What are you referring to? if you mean the category radio buttons available when you create a link? then these types of form elements are naturally of an inline nature, if you want them stacking vertically then, sadly, you will need to re write the markup to correctly describe input labels as the category text […]
