When what is deactivated or how deactivated?
BP theme compatibility will use page.php by default unless you overide that behaviour and as such will show it’s content within that page structure so your get_sidebars() calls should be unaffected.
You don’t really go into much detail about the theme your using and it’s setup which does help to understand what’s happening.
In reply to: Activity Stream Page Template Wont ChangeBefore asking questions of this nature it’s important to understand how theme compatibility in BP functions, reading the docs first would clarify this, it’s why we write them 🙂
In reply to: Clan Gaming Website – What you think?If you don’t know how you’re loading BP assets that suggests you are running under bp default theme as a child theme or overloaded all the template files to your theme root e.g themes/my-theme-name/members/index.php that would mean you’re not running under bp theme compatibility (have to admit didn’t look for the other tell tale signs for approach taken) I would check out the codex for a better understanding of theme compatibility if you’re unfamiliar with it.
In reply to: Clan Gaming Website – What you think?Good job doesn’t look half bad. One thing though spotted you load the BP JS from the bp-default folder , old bp-dtheme I would change that either copy the file to your theme or grab it from bp-legacy as it will be safer in the long run, when eventually bp default theme is retired and removed.
This is an old thread!
Using CSS to remove objects in this sense is an incorrect, and unsafe use of CSS.
The filter does work as described in the original solution run from either bp-custom or functions files or disable messaging for a complete solution.
In reply to: Thank you BuddyPress DevelopersAnd your appreciation is appreciated 🙂 On behalf of the core team of developers and the extend family that help shore things up, thanks and especially the kind words for the codex, we still have a ways to go with the codex but it’s getting there.
In reply to: Activation Email Intermittent Failuresyou’re more than likely slamming into mail server spam filtering and that’s not the user spam filtering but the actual email server with strict RDNS & SPF checks in place. Generally it’s not understood that you can’t just relay emails from a server from any old domain name, that’s a possible open relay and email servers will block emails that are authorised to be sent via a given server IP, look up RDNS and get it set if it’s not already and then SPF and get that set in your MX records.
In reply to: New to this, need some help please!‘Almost Pretty Permalinks’ ? == index.php in url paths, windows server?
In reply to: Delete others activityBP as such doesn’t have real role/caps abilities, bp_current_user_can() is a sort of faux work around so trying to add bp_moderate as a cap won’t work because BP doesn’t set true caps; ‘bp_mederate’ is just a check on something like the WP cap ‘manage_options’.
Recently I needed to add a custom user role for group creation so we could disable group creation for all but admins and a specific role I did that by filtering into bp_user_can_create_groups, running a function that got the current user role and returned ‘true’ on $can_create for that user role so you could do something similar for activity delete filtering into ‘bp_activity_user_can_delete’ returning ‘true’ on $can_delete.
Oh I see, hmm looks like it will be trickier than one would like, seems the extract $atts is causing issue running too late for bp to work with and ob_buffering doesn’t seem to help, works without user atts ok just not when they’re added to shortcode, there’s probably another solution but personally haven’t time to investigate it, maybe someone else knows of an approach that works.
BP provides all the buttons you need, if you are not seeing them then you have larger issues likely in the use of a custom theme, but you haven’t mentioned the theme you’re using (see the forum stickies for detail to provide in posts) Have you changed theme to a known working one – any of the default WP ones – this will tell you if this is a theme issue.
Once the cause is established then you can proceed with the best approach to correcting the problem but throwing functions in at this stage isn’t wise.
In reply to: How do YOU stop sploggers? (spammers)Please also search the forum as this topic arises often so there are quite a few posts that already offer suggestions.
In reply to: insert in WP menu a tab that link to Bp profile.BP 1.9 introduced menu link selection on the WP ‘Menu’ screens, used to add links in just the same way you add pages, cats etc, is that not visible in your menu screen?
In reply to: Sitewide Notices don’t work with active widgetIt’s not a bug this was by design, we added the widget to both provide users with flexibility as to where they could show notices and as a means of using it as a switch to turn off the notices overlay which was actually provided that way when theme compatibility was introduced and we no longer necessarily had control on a site layout as with the older BP Default layout.
If you wanted to change this you’ll probably need to copy the bp-functions file and remove the is_active widgets check that prevents the notices function loading or add your own version of bp_messages_get_notices() to wp_footer action along with the styles required.
And all fixed up now – thanks djpaul. Closing.
That’s a recent glitch, we’ll get it rectified.
In reply to: [Resolved] BuddyPress Toolbar everywhere?? Not really sufficient information to provide much help with, normally you should see that menu at all times the wpadminbar is visible and unless you have custom code in effect then you should see the menus on any page view.
In reply to: Registered users cannot log inWe have a different user type who signs up via our membership plugin, they work fine.
Well that would suggest an issue with your membership plugin really, check it is correctly setting user types, can your users login if you disable that plugin.
In reply to: Duplicate members in widget and directoryThis issue is nearly always a caching one, have you been running a cache plugin?

In reply to: Change thumb avatar files to full.Make your ‘full’ image size larger than needed and then go through your templates setting the width/height prams on the avatar call, you can always reduce an image dimensions – within reason – and retain quality whereas you can’t increase without pixalation.
buddypress.php placed in the root of a newly created directory ‘buddypress/’ or ‘community/’ will act as the main template file for all BP screens whether directory or account screens, group screens, it’s the wrapper as it were that provides the main header, sidebar,footer includes and main markup your chosen theme needs, essentially it is a replica of page.php from your main theme, having buddypress.php means you can make changes to that file that will only affect BP screens e.g get_sidebar(‘buddypress’).
when your happy with the basics then read the extended guide which explains further means of creating custom bp templates.
The first thing to do is always check the BP Codex we write guides to try and help people with aspects like this.
And related pages under ‘Theming’
Template compatibility just runs under any theme you choose to run (in the majority of cases) you don’t create a child theme based on a parent ‘bp-legacy’ choose or create a theme, then if you need to customise BP templates or CSS you overload (copy) the template files required to the theme or child theme as described in those guides.
In reply to: User Activation Generally Broken@callumevans Running on BP trunk with WP 3.8 & 2012 theme I can not replicate this issue, a new signup can not login directly after signup and receives a warning that they must activate their account first, something must still be contrary to a pure standard install on your setup.
In reply to: Root profiles deprecated in 1.9.2?@henrywright if you have a minute might be worth jumping into irc and asking if anyone else can confirm that root profiles are safe, as for the edit I’m very perplexed by it, had thought I had done it in error 🙂 I worry about curating codex now though 🙂
