Plugins?
In reply to: BuddyCamp Miami, 2013Directed at no one in particular 🙂
You tell me! Has your activity stream kicked into life? Has this post/comment been sent as notification?
@epatrick
Just to illustrate why it’s NOT a BP issue.You are missing a series of styles that are getting generated and injected into the head of each page (not a good approach but hey ho)
e.g. .skinset-menu{}Now quite why these styles are not getting added to actual single groups although they are to the parent directory is a question only the theme authors can answer.
it’s their theme and their approach to applying their styles and functions, as to why their approach doesn’t work on the group single views is only something that can be understood by de-constructing the theme as we and BP have no knowledge of that it’s next to impossible to help, thus it IS their duty to help or guide you, perhaps a setting you’ve missed in the backend?
I don’t mean this to sound unhelpful on our part but just trying to point out the issues from our perspective.
@epatrick Sorry that’s not an acceptable position for them to take, they provide a theme that is BP ready and as that theme, as I have said, looks fairly complex there is likely a level of knowledge required of the theme and how it works in order to effect changes at the least I would expect them to have a look after all it may be as simple as adjusting a few rules in the BP styles they keep in their custom folder?
In reply to: BuddyCamp Miami, 2013People, read threads, don’t just skim them. @mercime has had to mention twice that the vids will be uploaded to wordpress.tv that’s a waste of time and resources 🙂
@epatrick Your last post crossed with mine probably. With these sorts of issues you need to contact the theme authors really.
After a quick look it’s clear this theme is fairly complex and integrates a number of plugins BP being one, so in theory this is a BP compatible theme; for issue therefore with this you really need to direct them to the authors on their support forum:
http://help.northvantage.co.uk/forums/It’s actually not obvious what your issues are. With this sort of question it’s actually important to briefly describe the issues as well as simply providing links as useful as they are.
They don’t show up correctly, the CSS or the design is degraded.
‘correctly’ can be a matter of opinion as can ‘design degraded’ you need to be technically specific.
Your BP version is outdated by four point releases you should be on a minimum version of 1.6.5 – it’s important to keep abreast of releases if only from a security point of view.
If in dev stages I would advise you actually install 1.7 RC1 and make use of theme compatibility it brings to the table and if having gone through the template pack process removing those files.
There are guides in the codex to working with 1.7.
And you have tested a plain WP view of your site? i.e have you first tested that all aspects of primary functions work under your initial install of WP before moving on to activating BP and then testing it’s registration process – this is important to help you establish that your site works and if issues arise at what stage they did e.g. on activation of BP or of Welcome pack ( fyi Welcome Pack might not be quite current with latest BP)
You now need to narrow down the issue!
fwiw this sort of issue is nearly always one of a server configuration and/or of your MX records rather than an issue with either WP or BP both process and foreward emails quite happily without fail.
By the looks of things first thing you need to do is go into your account and change your display name that kicks your activity stream into life – I note you have nothing on there at the moment – this may be the cause of issues.
In reply to: Modifying Buddypress 1.7 BetaCouldn’t write that page much plainer really, it was intended as a simple primer.
No files are required in the child theme if you are letting bp theme compatibility handle the BP template process, if you wanted to edit just one you would copy it to /buddypress/ preserving the structure that’s seen in the legacy templates folder if you wanted to edit the styles that can be done by copying the styles to /css/ in your theme.
You sound as though you have a mixed bag of theme compatibility and full template file overrides going on or template pack still at work, something confused somewhere.
In reply to: Reduce white space above page titleUsing Firebug allowed me to quickly highlight the page elements showing that the space around the .pagetitle on that linked page is created with a combination of the elements line-height and the ancestor .padding divs padding value 19px, if you want to decrease the heading elements positioning you will need to adjust the padding div top padding value or at a pinch you may get away with negative top margin on the .pagetitle to drag it up,
Did you try installing Firebug or tools for one of the other browser as was suggested? If you are wanting to modify styles then you will need the aid of one of these tools to identify what rulesets are applying properties to an element.
It does appear there is an issue in the user account screens with loadmore activity entries; I’ve added it as a ticket to the Status git account.

At this stage not sure what the issue is.
In reply to: IP and Email Addresses Showing in Dashboard CommentsThere is this to be considered: you have granted a certain level of responsibility to these users as ‘authors’ this level or role is meant to be able to see emails, these comments, after all, are made to their posts. The giving of an email address under normal circumstances in WP if required means you are releasing that address for the site owner / author (given single site owner/admin is all these roles) and you wouldn’t worry in that respect. Why is it that you do not trust the people that you have elevated to this ‘Author’ role? Perhaps you should trust them?
As for IP it’s less of a concern the majority will be dynamic IP’s given at time of connection by the ISP and released if user disconnects from their broadband service. Making use of the IP recorded is a very technical matter most are simply not going to know what they could do with it and in respect of a dynamic IP that’s in fact not a lot.
In reply to: Keep users out of backendiirc S2 Member will affect login in this way.
In reply to: IP and Email Addresses Showing in Dashboard Comments@alice-claire This isn’t really a BP issue as it’s WP comments it will happen whether BP is activated or not. Really you need to seek answers on the WP support forums, there is probably a workaround to remove that data using a filter.
In reply to: Hiding / Removing sidebar from registartion pageNo you should not use CSS to achieve this. If you have stray comment characters then you haven’t removed things correctly and have left those characters in the markup to be parsed. Re-visit the code remove those.
This doesn’t sound like a standard BP file? is it modified? copy the code in the file to pastebin so people can see what you are modifying.
In reply to: Keep users out of backendThat is not the normal default behaviour of BP, and likely have some other plugin causing this behaviour? You need to provide a little detail with posts though otherwise it’s hard to help. To test if this is BP or not disable all plugins other than BP and run the default theme or just your chosen theme if using BP 1.7 RC and see how the login works.
In reply to: bbPress Integration Issue? with bbp_get_topic_id()Think maybe you ought to address questions about the bbPress plugin to the bbpress forums, you’ll likely get a more informed response there.
In reply to: create a child theme/change style@talitaco What doesn’t work! If you want help you must be a little more specific than that, what did you try that didn’t subsequently work?
In reply to: Unable to postSeems successful to me!
I’ll delete this in a while or is that post I found marked as spam the one you wanted to post up ?
Also important to bear in mind that as of 1.7 the old BP bbPress integration to groups of a basic striped down forum offering is removed and ALL forum capabilities are handled by bbPress standalone plugin which offers a far better forum experience from the point of view of BP groups, so please take a moment to read through the codex on this subject to familiarise yourself with how forums work with BP.
In reply to: Buddypress 1.7 R1 theme compatibility1.7 is compatible with themes that follow the correct WP conventions if it doesn’t work then it’s the themes fault essentially, and this we have been remarking on and off for a while, this has been the aim of 1.7 all along the betas and RC releases haven’t changed that as such.
You already have a thread started on this subject and a response from @mercime that you need to respond to. Sorry about the user hijacking your thread but you need to continue there please.
