Good stuff, marking this as resolved then.

@Famous the codex is your friend for many things , stuff like template tags and conditional functions,  also looking through BP template files will often show you things like is_user_logged_in() in use ( bp-default theme sidebar.php shows examples of this use)

Your theme imposes rather generic styles on li elements in the content areas under a parent class of ‘shortcodes’ This is conflicting with the BP object nav li elements forcing them  to 100% width.

In your themes stylesheet you’ll need to try adding something like:

<code>

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li…[Read more]

You can run in theme compat mode i.e no BP folders directly in the theme root, or for that matter any BP templates in the theme then create a folder in the theme named ‘buddypress’ or ‘community’ into that you copy the templates from /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ e.g /members/index.php and/or /members/members-loop.php  preserving the folder…[Read more]

I was sort of waiting for some sort of response 🙂

When you say ‘not compatible’ tell us the steps you took with this theme and BP if any i.e we are trying to understand whether BP is attempting to fall back to the new theme compatibility mode or whether you have BP templates & folders in the theme root.

@popsmith That is NOT the Status theme that is a re-skined  bp-default theme. Please open a new thread for your issue.

With bbPress standalone plugin now handling all of BP’s group forum requirements this is more a question for bbp support really; however bbpress does provide a standard wysiwyg editor.

Why is your theme not compatible? You need to explain what not compatible actually means. 1.7 theme compatibility does a good job of integrating BP into any theme now , most themes are going to work perfectly well with it albeit requiring styling of BP elements to suit your theme/site – something BP can’t provide out of the box.

You can style BP…[Read more]

Please do a search first, this topic has come up a few times recently with various solutions.

If it’s a new install why are you mentioning legacy group forums, with 1.7 all forum activity is handled by bbpress, if you want group forums then that is enabled under bbPress settings. Older installs would have needed to migrate and then disable the forum component listed under BP settings page.

You will need to supply a fair bit more technical info on what is actually happening when your users try and crop an image, what you describe above is not sufficient to be able to help much with.

fwiw testing cropping an avatar in 1.7 / 2012 theme shows no issues whatsoever.

if you have plugins that might affect things disable them and…[Read more]

Upload images with buddypress? your title mentions a plugin! If  it’s the plugin you’re having issues with please seek support from the authors.

@jaimebib where are  your bp template files located? If you had copied over bp template before to your theme e.g /my-theme-folder/members/ then technically you are telling BP not to use the new theme compatibility mode.

You may want to try removing those files, and allowing BP to run in theme compat mode then if you need to customize templates…[Read more]

And please explain what setup you had prior to switching, as it will help to understand what has gone wrong. As far as things go 2012 works fine  with 1.7.

Trying to make sense of what your process has been here as you shouldn’t be having issues.
Going back up two posts if as you say you built originally for template pack or using template pack then when you tried to switch to 1.7 theme compat you should not have tried to move the existing folders/files into the theme compat folder structure, that…[Read more]

but that’s part of the issue , I simply don’t get why people regard changing the froum or group description as a relatively trivial aspect? A group description defines the group or forum and I would regard that as a higher level function. But yes until some means of further refining these two roles for the moment this is how they behave.

Make them an admin, not sure why this aspect of mods vs. Admins caused so much confusion, I’m a mod on this forum and it really bugs me I can’t simply change all the forum names and descriptions at will as the fancy takes me 😉

An Admin has this ability not a Mod. if mods had this ability what really would be the point in the distinction? but all…[Read more]

You already have a thread running on this, please don’t open duplicate ones.

Closing this thread.

There is documentation! it’s in the documentation section of the site.

However as Paul says or:

Copy over the stylesheet from /bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css to your theme /css/ that will override the original copy, either add to that…[Read more]
