@hughshields Thanks for letting us know what the real issue was. Good luck.

@hughshields What theme are you using? What plugins are activated?

@hughshields first thing, back up the theme folder in your server to your hard drive.
– Deactivate the Suffusion Template Pack plugin
– Delete the following folders, if any, from your Suffusion theme folder in server: /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration…[Read more]

This can only be explained as a huge job. You would need to know both CSS and HTML to achieve that. I’d suggest reading up on those two technologies if you’re just getting started. Some knowledge of PHP, JS and Ajax would be helpful too although you’d just need to know what parts of the templates are best to avoid messing with.

@hughshields have you thought about a CSS solution?

#posts-personal-li {
display: none;
}

#edit-personal-li {
display: none;
}

@hughshields If you’re just getting started with PHP and prefer a plugin, try BuddyBlog – http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/ and Simple Front End Post http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/

You can let your members blog directly from their BuddyPress profile. A list of posts on profile comes as standard too.

puts 5-6 blank lines at the top of the group header

@hughshields you can always add negative top margin to correct the issue, like:
.groups #item-header-content {
margin-top: -20px;
}

@hughshields BP generates the “groups” body class for all groups pages. So just add .groups before the element in your stylesheet for example:
.groups #item-header-content {
color: #000033;
}

@hughshields thanks for updating us e Suffusion theme.
