Is the better place now for site comments / suggestions etc

@BeckB this and the other thread are a bit old to be resurrecting.

Thoughts and suggestions/comments about the site in general are now best made in the group dedicated to the improvement of buddypress.org

We’ll leave this thread as read only.

@pcwriter Patrick you have changed the plugin directory name but you haven’t updated the loader file include path to reflect this.

Re the additional elements added, There are two approaches: the embedded style rules could be combined, outputting a series of ‘style’ tags clutters the head; better that those display:none rules are injected into the same style tag function. I think though the correct approach with these adminbar elements is to use remove_actions rather than style […]

To restore BP/WP force deactivate the plugin by FTP /SSH/control panel access and renaming or deleting the plugin.

@dinoraptor101 this thread is a year and 7 months old, generally old threads aren’t resurrected can you start a new post for any issues you are having. fwiw if email servers are rejecting out of hand you need to check your mail delivery notification for error codes that should tell you why, if no failed delivery […]

Probably the better way to proceed anyway, I always upload manually , having first disabled all BP dependent plugins then deactivate BP itself, then remove or rename the folder and upload the new one then reverse the process for deactivation of plugins reactivating new BP, checking that’s ok then enabling the other bp plugins one […]

Added the ‘Community’ label conf variable and corrected the globals

Good spot, that’s why second eyes are vital, also the $hideMainNav doesn’t need to be globally scoped as the function sits outside pages() and the variable is already in the main page scope so no global required for it. Not sure how the process works for uploading plugins but would guess it hasn’t been approved […]

Assuming you answered an implicit affirmative to Paul’s question about editing the correct file, did you restart your Apache? server for the changes to take effect (apologies if teaching grandmother to suck eggs 🙂 )

new adjustments: typo corrected; http://pastebin.com/TA4vGHT5 Config section created at top of file – labels all set from that point by user Hide main nav links function created to add embedded styles via add_action dependent on user setting $hideMainNav = true Hiding the main nave through CSS isn’t really the best option as it leaves the […]

What starts out as appearing to be a simple requirement, nearly always evolves to something else 🙂 admin area would be next step, however in some senses it’s starting to over complicate things. An alternative is to create a conf file with a series of options similar to the one written to flip flop the […]

Yep I’ve added it to a ever growing to do list, not sure when I’ll be able to get round to it but definitely will at some point as it’s a shame that bp-default doesn’t render well on IE >= 7

‘Attempts’ being the operative word. it’s a shame as all that’s really required is a little knowledge and experience, IE issues are not really that hard to cope with, the use of combinator selectors that IE6 doesn’t understand is just plain wrong and unnecessary, and generally only used where rulesets were desired to be hidden […]

No it’s not hard to believe, many organizations still use IE6 and can’t change as they have proprietary in house apps written for it. I’m afraid the truth is that too many younger coders and not so younger are are happy to assume that IE6/7 is dead and they don’t need to code with correct […]

Older version of IE? which specifically? IE6? If so I’m afraid you’ll be out of luck or at least search long and hard to find themes that work with IE6 they should! but most won’t have taken this older browser into account bp-default hasn’t – by the look of things – done any or much […]

That’s the one 🙂 Follow the steps carefully and fully.

There is a how to guide if you search the WordPress codex

It’s very simple as long as you are running WP MU or WP 3.0 and if WP 3.0 you must have manually configured it for Multi site functionality (You don’t say what you’re running on!)

Then you simply need to set the option allow users to register accounts and blogs in main admin options.

quick adjustment to give choice on wp_list_pages, but this ought to be carried through to the wp_nav_menus which I’ll leave as an exercise for the class 🙂
