Last few things just to stop the main links from wrapping and bunching up.

Add these lines:

#header h1 {bottom:30px;}
ul#nav {max-width:80%;}

Although to be honest width is probably better as IE6 doesn’t understand min-* property

That’s better one thing though: At the moment copying and pasting from this site doesn’t work as characters are being converted, where I set out a series of em dashes it translated those to hyphens I think or vis versa manually edit the comment I made and replace that long line with your own dashes […]

are made within the new folder by copying the default files and altering them? Yes and no. You can approach things in a few ways – first, and as I’ve seen that you have done, is to inherit the original files then you could add further styles after the @import statements as I’ve shown one post […]

Try this which should work: /* Theme Name: TSS Theme URI: http://www.thescratchingshed.com/themes/tss/ Description: TSS custom Version: 1.0 Author: TSS Author URI: http://www.thescratchingshed.com/ Template: bp-default Tags: buddypress, two-column, blue, white */ /* Inherit the default theme styles */ @import url(…[Read more]

BTW there was a typo which wouldn’t have helped matters in my original post where I described an ‘ID’ it should have been a ‘class’; my bad!

Should read:

div#content .padder {margin-right:300px;}

That doesn’t sound correct, if you follow the instructions given on the child theme codex page then you will have a stylesheet that references the original default.css you do not want to create a duplicate of it, you make your changes in the new child theme stylesheet, that’s the one that calls default.css with a […]

Is that ‘Line 4’ custom? I don’t see it in a functions file for a 1.2.5.2 I’ve just test upgraded. Generally – and it’s not advise necessarily to follow 🙂 – I have never had an issue with upgrading the WP portion of a site and don’t tend to bother deactivating any plugins; I do […]

If you are making changes to styling you do NOT have to reinstall BP from scratch, it’s simply not necessary. You should be making changes to a child theme; are you using a child theme? If not follow these instructions here: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ If you are making the changes I described…[Read more]

If the actual snippet of code was parsed / rendered then it sounds as though you didn’t surround the code in the required PHP tags i.e:

<?php
remove_action(‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_login_menu’, 2);
?>

You do not really need to use a plugin and that suggeststhat it removes the entire adminbar? is that what you want?

When you refer to a child theme it refers to the ability to create a new blank folder within the ‘theme’ folder this would be considered a ‘Child theme’ if it simply had a stylesheet residing in it’s root /top level that stated it was using the files from a particular parent theme, what then […]

It is assumed? is it :puzzled: actually it’s just irritating 😉 No reason for it not to be on the adminbar, I have placed a series of dashboard links as users are not going to be interested in having to type the url all the time. Adminbar is in need of a overhaul!

Find : div#content #padder – increase margin-right to 300px #sidebar change width to 300px and margin-left to -301px However it looks as though you are using the default theme and changes like this should be made to a child theme in as much as you create a new theme directory and set up a new […]

Have you followed the thread on the Ning importer, Boones still I believe actively thrashing out the workings of this plugin; I seem to recall some mention of splitting the json file or something to get around issues

Allowing users to register and create new blogs is under Super Admin > Options

Do you refer to the links in the adminbar at the top of the layout? If so then you can remove them both by adding this line:

remove_action(‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_login_menu’, 2);

To a ‘bp-custom.php’ file in the plugins directory

Your site definitely does not look as though it’s set up correctly, ‘blogs’ should list all your member blogs not direct to a 2010 undefined blog. I would suspect that .htaccess is not setup correctly and /or the necessary wp-config changes required for MS added. When you set up the MS network did you follow […]

Not sure about that one, have a vaugish idea but it’s probably better asked of @r-a-y or @djpaul or one of the others

Odd, definitely made one, perhaps didn’t save ??!!

Well a background image is a styling issue rather than what I showed earlier. One approach you coulfd take is to open up /groups/single/home.php find the #item-header div ~ line 9 <div id=”item-header”> change it to this: <div id="item-header" class="”> That will now output the group name/slug as a class token for all the groups item-headers. You…[Read more]

Not sure the extent of the customisations that you want to do but you could try this approach: Using: <?php if(bp_is_groups_component() && ‘my-group-name’ == bp_current_item()): ?> to wrap sections of the single groups views e.g I’ve used this to wrap the group-header.php #item-header-avatar and #item-header-content to allow for custom markup…[Read more]
