In reply to: PLEASE HELP!!! no group creation option in groups
wow…are you serious.
so i can not use my suffusion theme with BP or any plugins?
I did NOT say that, this is a basic step in troubleshooting we have to establish whether it’s BP at fault or a custom theme. I believe that people do successfully use this Suffusion theme for BP, so you need to persevere and perhaps try the sufffusion support as it does sound like a custom theme issue rather thn BP one.
Not entirely sure what triggers that warning, I simply ensured I had correctly filled in the readme.txt ?

Requires at least: WP 2.9, BuddyPress 1.2.4
Tested up to: WP 3.0.1, BuddyPress 1.2.6
Stable tag: 1.1which you appear to have as well, wonder if it has to do with the loader.php or at least having a file with that name or similar I used upm-loader.php to initialize and call the main file slightly unnecessarily as I remember thinking as could quite easily have worked from the main file and run the BP init check
In reply to: Automatic registrations … spamThis issue is one that has been discussed at length in various threads over the months here, and many approaches to tackling the issue are given.
Please do a search for these threads and have a detailed read through and implement a few of the suggestions they provide.

In reply to: Question about activity barFacelook is a third party theme and a WP one have you followed all the steps to convert it to BP ready i.e run through the template pack procedures?
The BP adminbar requires the wp_footer() hook in the footer.php file, when it’s displayed it’s positioned ‘fixed’ relative to the browser viewport
Support for third party work will always be limited here as majority focus needs to be with BP core issues
In reply to: I don’t update. Is this a bad thing?With BP in it’s relative infancy regards development you will suffer from not upgrading as things change and move forward at a pace in early development cycles there were many changes in the 1.2.6 release and a good deal were improvements to the way things work or simply out and out bug fixes for issues, I sympathise though where one has a lot of custom work in place as upgrading can be a minor nightmare.

is there a “real” and “fake” default theme? i have activated theYes and that is the point I was trying to make earlier there is only THE bp default theme all it’s files live in /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default any other theme is what is referred to as a child theme and may have any number of custom changes that can cause issues. To trouble shoot it is essential that the defaults are used i.e the default theme is activated and no plugins other than BP are running.
Good thing is as long as you link to stylesheets rather than embed styles the browser always caches – or should, but keeping styles and rulesets lean is always good from many points such as inheritance, specificity, etc; the more overworked rules become the harder it is to debug to the point where it actually becomes impossible without starting over.
yes but you can group them.
the img I would have thought was already dealt with by BP rules
this might work, as you don’t want to necessarilly style all the pseudo classes if you cab style the anchor alone:
`
#bp_activity_bar ul li a {
color:#ddd;
border:0;
}
`
might not work though in which case add in the pseudo classes as necessary:
`
#bp_activity_bar ul li a:link,
#bp_activity_bar ul li a:focus {
color:#ddd;
border:0;
}`
etcit’s as I mentioned earleir it’s the classic error:
you say this:
`#bp_activity_bar ul li a:link,`
and you want to apply that to all pseudo class links so do this:`#bp_activity_bar ul li a:link,a:visited,a:active,a:hover,img {}`
you have actually styled the activity bar :link class and then closed of that selector set and styled the generic pseudo elements
When you use grouping selectors ‘,’ you must re-state the full descendent path each time i.e you must state `#_activity_bar ul li :whatever {}`
it’s fine in my browser
Have you ensured your cache is force refreshed ctrl+f5 FF winblows
cool it’s a common oversight the use of the comma, especially where it’s not realised that one would need to state the full parent selectors each time.
so what’s the plugin do?
Did you not actually intend to write:
`#bp_activity_bar ul li {}`
Minus the comma seperated selector which would then only style elements that has a parent ul and #bp_activity_bar
when you say correct what exactly do you mean? you intended that ruleset to try and applu it’s styles to any li element that it could in a BP installation?
The main activity stream consists of ul constructs so it has li children and would very possibly pick up the styling form your ruleset.
?
` #bp_activity_bar ul, li {}
`
That is known as a grouped selector set did you intend that? you are applying that ruleset to #bp_activity_bar ul AND generic li elementsp.s try and keep to lowercase syntax
In reply to: buddypress with suffusionClarify: bp default theme works on the Linux Ubuntu install?
Setting cmod 777 on all directories won’t be the issue, if anything it’s a group/user permissions that is more often the issue there, but doubtful that this is the issue here and of course world writable is not something one would want to leave other than on a test install.
This may be an issue that you have to address to Suffusion support if it’s a case that plain vanilla WP/BP does work as expected on your LAMP box, but not with Suffusion themes activated.
In reply to: buddypress with suffusionEverything appears to have been set up , so usual request is in order to try activating the BP default theme and establish first that everything is working as expected before moving on to installing custom themes. Suffusion appears relatively complex and I have little knowledge of so can’t help specifically with it , but getting things running correctly with plain vanilla BP is the correct approach initially.
Word of warning I would now change that test account it’s an admin account and as such dangerous to leave on a public site.
@tekuan-coleman Just to keep things clear: Buddypress is an open source project maintained by unpaid volunteers and the support pages here run in the same fashion so there is technically no such thing available here as ‘Professional Consulting’ as that phrase implies paid for support and might lead to mis-understanding of what the non coder user might expect from this support forum.
In reply to: PLEASE- BP ALBUMS, CANNOT CROP IMAGESMoral of the story? Always test with plugins and custom themes deactivated, this identifies whether it is a custom theme or third party plugin that is causing the issue and helps prevent confusion with people searching for bugs or issues with the BP core app.
In reply to: PLEASE HELP!!! no group creation option in groupsAre you really sure you have activated the real bp-default theme, there is only one and you do refer to ‘a’ bp default theme. It’s essential to be sure you are running BP in it’s default state theme and without any third party plugins which may upset things. The ‘Create a group’ button should appear to the right of the Groups Directory heading on the groups page.
In reply to: Remove visit random member/groupNo it’s not removal of lines as this is a function call.
Allways give the codex a quick check to see if there’s any help there, you want this page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/And you need to be using remove_action() filter
There is a list of the add_action links on the page.
Add the remove_action to your functions.php in child theme.
This is something that is expressed from time to time i.e “More friendly interface” but it’s one of those things that slightly puzzles me again this is WP and the method of running it is the dashboard and that shouldn’t be a barrier for people really. There are however a few front end posting plugins which essentially drag the dashboard create post page/function to the frontend of a site that may make things a little simpler for users, but not sure on user blogs whether it’s easy or possible to then further abstract or hide the dashboard.
In reply to: PLEASE HELP!!! no group creation option in groupsTry, as @hnla said before *she*
@mercime Just slightly concerned as I remember that when I was roughing up my approach to the lack of a blog/dashboard link for users or that a user elevated actually didn’t get the same main dashboard link as the original site admin it proved problematical getting things correct for all types of install if I indeed did, haven’t had a moment to look at the actual committed patch to see how it does perform for all install types.
In reply to: Remove the “DashBoard” from the adminbarAs puzzled over in another similar thread request what is the issue with this addition. Wish people would describe there setup and reasons for serious requests then perhaps we could look for better overall solutions rather than simply hack at things!
