If you think you have found a bug and can reproduce and give steps to reproduce it would help if you could create a Trac ticket.
In reply to: List all subnav items within members main navWas rolled out a while back in 1.7 but isn’t yet in use in any BP theme, currently being implemented on the ‘TemplatePack’ project.

In reply to: BuddyPress Registration Page Not WorkingDid you not read this comment made by mercime
There are a variety of reasons why registration won’t work for some installations with different/similar configurations. Help us help you by creating a new topic of your own and providing us more information about your installations – single WP/WPMS, theme used, plugins used, etc. or did you check if registration process is working in your WP install if BuddyPress is deactivated?
Please start a new thread and be sure to provide the detail asked for otherwise it’s really not possible to help much at all.
Closing this thread.
To locate rulesets you need to use a tool such as FireBug to inspect elements and see what associated css rulesets belong to it and in which file – all modern browsers have a dev tool set of this type.
This is how Mercime will have located the line number above, give it a go it’s remarkably easy.
In reply to: Javascript Error – buddypress v1.8.1I’m afraid the issue doesn’t rest with buddypress, we caught and updated the scripts to use .on which was introduced in jQuery 1.7 replacing .live.
You need to track down whatever plugin or theme is using google to load jQuery rather than letting WP load it’s own copy as you are using jQuery 1.6 and currently WP natively loads 1.8
In reply to: Edit Buddypress Registration Page Template@brimfulof
Where are ‘various places’?In a child theme you would create a new folder called either /community/ or /buddypress/ in that you replicate the structure for folders seen in bp legacy folder in core plugin.
So for a register template you would need /my-theme/buddypress/members/register.php
If you create index-register.php you will need to ensure this template is a full one i.e has get_header() / get_footer() and any other structure for a full template so unless really necessary just edit register.php in your child theme.
In reply to: BP Conditional Groups & UsersClosing duplicate post.
In reply to: BP Conditional Groups & UsersAnd my question stands from earlier have you created a trac ticket for a feature enhancement? You state BP isn’t listening where have they been asked?
As I have been told, a well oiled coder can make this in a week or less find that coder and get them to run this up as a plugin.
If it’s so easy I would agree why hasn’t anyone done this before? As for expecting that the BP development team should get on and do this, no there’s enough on their plate, but I’ve said that before, personally if I saw this going ahead given what I know needs dealing with that are real issues with the way BP performs I would question why it had been taken on, however with a trac ticket up and enough people responding on it it may get some attention.
We must close this thread now as it’s not productive to go round and round on the subject.
In reply to: BP Conditional Groups & UsersI’m not intending on letting this thread run, but need to address a few fallacies being bandied about and also point out that name calling wins no friends, the core devs are not ‘lazy’ they in fact are hugely hard working as are the few of us – and it is far too few – that also contribute to the core project, with their free time when most freelancers actually have precious little ‘free time’ and have to concentrate on earning a living.
number one issue to address: BP is open source it is not funded in anyway thus those actively working on code commits to the project are limited by the time they can set aside, and that is dictated by what actual personal work they have to get through first.
Your desire for split groups across networks sites is likely a really fiddly thing to attempt, that you say it’s something everyone wants or many want is debatable, regardless the core team must focus their time on making the core app solid and stable before too many enhancements are tackled, however this is an OS project which means anyone may attempt a proof of concept patch and post it to a trac ticket for testing or more obviously anyone can write a plugin to achieve this.
If user are not coders then they can create an enhancement or feature request on trac, has this been done?
Simply haranguing the core devs for not jumping to do something you want is not going to get results sadly, there are priority tasks that have to be tackled and many tickets awaiting deliberation for inclusion in a release cycle.
If I give you a free cheese and after eating it you find out it’s rotten…can I say “don’t complain, it’s free”???
But you chose to eat it you actually have limited redress really, not sure what more can be said on that score. we are not forced to use BP we choose to because despite possible limitations and issues what it does do serves a purpose for many sites.
With each release BP improves in leaps and bounds, the degree to which it can and does though is dictated by the number of people who attempt to get involved and help the project along!
In reply to: Why are display name char amounts not limited?No that’s cleared up you may like to edit your account display name here to something that doesn’t mess up the site 😉
Please bear in mind primary purpose of support here isn’t providing solutions for third-party themes.
You’ll need to track down why it isn’t working, and as mercime suggests, create a custom override template for BP screens.In reply to: BBPress conditionalsAsk on bbPress support! or check their docs.
In reply to: Private Portal with BuddyPressJust to add a footnote to thread:
if by ‘main activity page’ we mean the /activity/ A Directory then we should be able to test for that with:
bp_is_directory()
Then not have to qualify the conditional with ! user_activity or at least be able to do bp_is_directory && whatever comp we’re after.
Closing this, as no benefit for others on a public help forum.
In reply to: someone else’s picture appearsIf this is urgent you perhaps ought to consider approaching a developer to investigate the issue, it’s a custom theme/site so is going to be hard for us here to help to any great degree.
To try and narrow down the problem, you should start by disabling any plugins not required for normal BP operation – I noticed a rather obvious error message being displayed on the site, that plugin should have been disabled immediately until the reason tracked down but worth now deactivating along with any caching plugins you may be using.
To be honest whomever setup/developed your site will have a better idea of what’s happening here, I assume you have some custom function managing the default no avatar image display that may have some bearing on the issue.
In reply to: Unlink Profile Page Title (Username)Have a read of this guide to how BP uses templates in theme compatibility mode and how to overload templates so they can be edited in your theme folder.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/In reply to: Alphabetical Group ListPlease check the codex first:
In reply to: Unlink Profile Page Title (Username)Not sure why you have a user name in that position it’s not a standard layout by the looks of it, are you using a custom theme? If so we need to know this and if it is we are not likely to be able to tell you where the customization lives although one might assume /members/single/profile/edit.php or it may just be the standard header user name in which case it’s /members/single/member-header.php
In reply to: Post author Profile linkto get the authors BP account url you could try:
bp_core_get_user_domain( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ )
In the same vein you should be able to grab the BP avatar:
bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(‘item_id’ => get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ )
You probably ought to have migrated your bbPress group forums to the standalone plugin.
?? there are a series of tabs on the sub navigation ‘inbox’, ‘sent’, ‘compose’, and ‘notices’ not sure why that got missed seems quite obvious, on that screen are your sitewide notices.
In reply to: Stop friend request after decliningIf your a developer what solution or partial solution have you attempted, give us an idea of an approach you imagined or some work in progress code, then people may be more inclined to help if they can see something to work with.
As for it being an issue, it’s not one that I recall being raised before, although does kinda make sense, but what happens if you decline the request in error how do you backtrack or simply want to allow later on after thinking about it, what flag do you set and where if you want to stop further requests.
In reply to: Where is a working demo@bp-help Odd, I’ll try removing one and see what happens.
Removed from the backend.

In reply to: Is bp-friends-template.php editable?@terraling version also works if you want more exacting control.
