Have you edited any files that live in the directory:

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

If you have then you will lose those changes if you do an automatic upgrade and have made a rod for your own […]

@chouf1 Ah right wasn’t aware of that prohibition on adding tips and code snippets, last time I looked there were a few. As long as they follow some form of best practise they ought to be ok.

@designnz Just in case it’s not obvious do ensure you render that loop in ‘ul’ tags:

I would add an

if($groups) { ?>

<ul>

<?php

rest of the code here

?>

</ul>

<?php } […]

Another dead link @umagokhale Rather than post more links to your site if you want to help people try writing a codex page or using pastebin to show the code.

How about adding some of these tips to the BP codex perhaps?

If you are going to leave links to your site please check those links are correct.

@lchief What theme are you using as it’s managing to re-instate the bullets that the buddypress.css sheet removes using a pretty selective and specific ruleset selector group using the parent #buddypress id token.

You’ll need to code this, adapt your styles for this type of  display; Or find a BP theme that already styles lists in this fashion.

@maphorn You will lose those changes each time you perform a BP update, creating a child theme to hold style adjustments is the recommended approach.

Oh and this is a two year old thread 🙂

now having to write this a second time as bp decided I wasn’t logged in for some odd reason after I submitted so this is brief.

Watch your syntax, don’t wrap those functions in strings, ‘;’ line terminations in […]

it’s whatever you’ve done with your custom theme, those register links behave differently from page to page, how does 1.7 theme compat work if you drop a WP default theme like twentytwelve?

Three threads on what is clearly the same overall general question is a bit fractured. […]

You are sort of splitting what is the same question across different threads – not a lot of point really, stick to one please it’s a lot easier […]

The most fundamental thing to correct is the notion that you edit any files that comprise the core, you never ever do this in WP , BP, or any other OS  or otherwise app.

Do so and then never update core for […]

BP ver 1.7 does away with group forums

Funny that, I’ve just set up group forums on a 1.7 beta test site, think maybe what you meant to say is that BP as of 1.7 does not bundle the older bbpress that was packaged […]

It’s all there for you to study, nothing for us to help with really and not really BP related 🙂

But frankly unless your frontend skills are strong you might struggle to copy the styles used and relationship to […]

Are that tricky to sort out these notifications? I’m not sure what to suggest without running code and playing around with it which I’m not sure I have time for at the moment, but try and get your working code up […]

@jacobmclaws You must start your own thread about issues not tag on the end of old ones and describe as much as possible your setup, what versions, what themes , custom? if so have you tried reverting to BP […]

Rightly or wrongly BP adds specific visual behaviour to this element.

In the initial view the ‘whats-new-options’ element is hidden via a css ruleset, on focus of the textarea BP uses JS to add an inline […]

When you start a post or thread please start with an intro describing the issue briefly, from this post it’s hard to understand what the problem is.
