But you would, the code block in the centre isn’t JS it’s PHP and you have escaped out of PHP parsing so it will be treated as cdata.

Why are you thinking you need to use json functions?

Perhaps explaining exactly what your trying to achieve might prompt someone to suggest a better approach which there almost certainly is.

@bucobill You have a different issue from that of the original posters, it’s for this reason amongst others that stepping into a running thread that wasn’t started by you with what is assumed the same issue is frowned upon and discouraged, multiple responses to different posters and issues in the same thread can not be supported. You must start…[Read more]

however we could also just add a new class to the bp body class function!

@rodgerfuller it won’t help in the short term but I have submitted a patch to core that adds the group name to the body class output so it will have ‘group-{my-group-slug}’

Can’t see a reason why we don’t do that, so if accepted you could patch your core file in advance…[Read more]

and what happens if you change to an established theme that is known to work with BP i.e one of the core WP themes, 1014,2012 etc.

It’s important to troubleshoot some basics to establish where the core reason may lie.

BP works with a great many themes in it’s default Theme Compatibility mode but not all, there are sadly a vast number of badly…[Read more]

Do try to always check tech documentation before asking questions, while the codex is not 100% perfect we have put a fair bit of effort into writing articles to help & guide people, such a how to work with template files in BP.

stylesheets are a client side processed file, you cannot place server side code such as PHP in them. To run code such as that filter you either run it from a plugin, your themes functions.php file or from bp-custom.php located in the plugin folder root (and user created – it doesn’t exist by default)

>I’m sorry I can’t do that.

Can’t do what/which?

Also what are you trying, what code, it’s difficult to suggest anything when not sure what you have tried that hasn’t ‘worked’ tbh if you want to customize then you will need to learn a little bit about how to use CSS, providing the styles for you will not really be possible as they need to sit…[Read more]

@metasynchronic The post was closed as it wasn’t really a question that related directly to BP. it was in fact a question related more to servers and WP.

Was the BP install working before, when you installed via the auto install script, generally the strong advice is to avoid those auto installers like the plague, but that doesn’t mean they are…[Read more]

Certainly using JS is probably the easiest/sensible option here, if you know your controls should be simple enough to add the placeholder attr to them.

And your register page does correctly appear so you’ll need to explain exactly what the issue is your having.

When you say “solve the issue of repairing “Register” “Links” & “Activate” pages.” that generally means simply telling BP what pages you created should be used for these BP components.

You need to explain a little about the actual problem you are having doing this or is this some deeper issue with the custom theme you mention in which case…[Read more]

>removing the labels altogether.

Please don’t remove labels altogether, responsive design does not mean writing malformed markup contrary to the specifications, nor for that matter do the new html5 atts. placeholder text is nice but does not replace the proper use of label/control…[Read more]

>When I get this figured out I may be qualified to write a dummies-friendly tutorial – LOL

Did try and write it as noob friendly as possible 🙂

The editor im WP won’t show subfolders or used not to and it’s not a great idea to edit files this way or indeed have it running from a security point of view.

And the file paths/dir are vital as s…[Read more]

behind the membership options?

Every one of these pages have the REQUIRE MEMBERSHIP enabled to view (and all my membership levels are checked)

You seem to be talking about some third party approach to membership here, if that’s the case you really do need to acknowledge that in the opening question so we know how to respond best, bear in mind…[Read more]

? Does anything get updated in wp-content, considering it mainly holds themes – custom?, plugins, your uploaded images/files.

Once you have your files copied to your child theme as explained in the guides so that you may safely edit files such as buddypress.css you will need to use a browser dev tool such as Firebug for firefox to inspect elements on the screen which will then show you what rulesets govern the visual styles and where in the file they live i.e line number.

If you already have a child theme in use then that’s great you do not need to repeat that step, you will use your child theme to hold copies of various buddypress files so that you may modify them safely.

Please always check the documentation that is available as we have some guides on tackling this aspect of overloading BP files to child themes,…[Read more]

What you ask would require some custom functions being created and that would require fairly extensive php skills and knowledge of BP.

There are some connect plugins around that are BP aware, nextend google connect springs to mind as one that does populate BP profile fields with user data so it may be worth hunting around for other plugins?

And what are your permalinks settings? Are you running with ‘almost prety permalinks’ or are your pages/posts references as something like ?p=.

Running under IIS does have issues with setting up permalinks which Apache doesn’t, BP does have a strict requirement for permalinks running. I would check out the WP codex for articles on ISS and…[Read more]

If you choose a theme that says it’s compatible with BP then really first port of call for issues needs to be the theme authors.

tbh looking at those pages doesn’t suggest any particular issues with BP, but you will need to be specific as to what you consider are issues. Always try to describe issues rather than just link to pages as then people…[Read more]
