In reply to: Extending login-search-bar to width of browser page?

Okay, I just fired up the default bphome theme and see that what you’re trying to change is indeed the standard CSS setup. So, once again, you get to create a custom theme!
Follow the same procedure as before. Make a backup of the standard bphome theme, rename it to something new, and make the changes I’ve outlines above. They should flow through to your customized bpmemebr theme as well!

Make sure that you have backups of your CSS files before trying my suggestions.
In base.css:
Remove max-width:1300px;
min-width:960px;
Then, change these two selectors as follows:
#header {
margin:25px auto;
width:1245px;
}
#content {
margin:10px auto;
width:1245px;
}
Of course, you can set your width to whatever you like.
You’ll also have to add back the <div class=”padder”> division to make the various form boxes within the search bar line up with your header. Using Firebug, look at how this is done in bp.org.
In reply to: Extending login-search-bar to width of browser page?In FF and Safari for OSX, I see that the gray background does not extend all the way across the screen. Of course, I have a 24″ screen. If I resize my browser window, the problem “goes away.”
What size monitor are you using?
I see that you’ve hard-coded in base.css the maximum body tag width to 1300 pixels and the minimum width to 960 pixels. This is different than the body selector used in bp.org’s bass.css file. There are no max or min values set.

Please start a new thread for your specific issue. Since this thread has been marked resolved by the OP, we will simply ignore this thread, choosing to look at threads where people are still having issues.
Ah, my friend fixed it. Don’t ask me what it was
Also, the OP clearly states that he has no idea what his friend did to fix it; you will not get any response.

You can add a new text profile. Call it “Company Profile”. Give brief instructions in the Field Description box.
Users can paste their company profile within that field, including some html. This field will then be owned by that user.

Just for good measure, I would log into WPMU’s backend and reselect your bpmember theme. This has worked for some people.
If that does not work, then I’m afraid it’s back to square one. Delete everything, including your MySQL DB, download a new copy of WPMU and follow the install instructions for MU. Then, once WPMU is up and running, manually download BuddyPress, and follow the install instructions in the readme.txt file.
It sounds like a pain, but since this is a fresh install without any data worth keeping, it should go pretty quickly. Something must have gone wrong with your install.
Let me know how what happens.
In reply to: Featured members: possible to show fewer details?Kit-
That is correct. Make a copy of the bpmember theme, rename your copy, make whatever changes you want to it, and you have–in effect–a custom theme! Just make sure you keep your new theme in the /wp-content/bp-themes/ directory.
Once ready for use, log into WPMU’s backend and navigate to “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”. You should see your newly-named theme as an option in the dropdown box. Select it, save, and you’re ready to go.
It’s worth doing and it is easy.

Is this issue resolved? If so, please set the topic as resolved!
In reply to: Avatar upload errorMake sure that you have set the proper permissions on /blogs.dir/. They should be set at 777.
In reply to: Extending login-search-bar to width of browser page?Since I can’t peer into this site’s base.css file for the theme I’m wondering how to change that attribute … ?
Ah, but you can!
For all CSS and template design issues, I highly recommend that you use the Firefox browser with the Firebug Add-on. WIth FIrebug installed in Firefox, you can see where page elements inherit their CSS–the file names, the file contents, etcetera. You can even make changes to the CSS selector parameters and see how that affects the design.
So, when you pull up any buddypress.org page, or any webpage at all, you can use Firebug within Firefox to see how the CSS selectors are styled.
In reply to: Featured members: possible to show fewer details?Kit-
The theme where this is located is in bpmember, not bphome. I’m just not firing on all cylinders today.
Are your instructions to show me how to do that?
Yes, you can make these edits in the bpmember theme directly. Just make sure that you have a backup before changing.
Also, please realize, that if you alter the standard themes and do not rename them, then the next you upgrade BuddyPress, you will lose your theme changes if you copy over the default themes.
In reply to: 404 /blog /members etc… RC2 WPMU 2.7.1Freaking Wildchild-
Since Donncha’s WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin (aka the sunrise domain plugin) allows you to map a blog to another domain, this could be the issue. I would post on the WPMU forum or, better yet, contact Donncha directly to ask for his assistance. http://ocaoimh.ie/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
This is beyond scope of the BuddyPress support forums.
In reply to: 404 /blog /members etc… RC2 WPMU 2.7.1Sgoetz-
Correct. You are running WPMU 2.7.1.
Are you still having 404 issues? If so, please start a new thread as this one has to do with another user’s related, but different issues.
In your new thread, provide as much detail as possible about your WPMU + BP setup and the issues and errors you are experiencing.
In reply to: Issue with links within BuddyPressCodyb-
Thanks for the detailed response!
A few more questions:
1. Did you copy over to WPMU’s root the .htaccess file that comes with the download?
2. Did you select the BuddyPress member theme in WPMU’s backend via “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”?

Okay, I’ve made a mistake. I did not even notice that you had linked to the members’ theme, not the home theme.
My widget is for the home them. What you’re asking about is not a widget. It is a coded into the /directories/members/index.php file in the bphome theme.
You can make your own custom theme, edit this out, and get what you want:
<div class="item-meta"><span class="activity"><?php bp_the_site_member_last_active() ?></span></div>
<div class="field-data">
<div class="field-name"><?php bp_the_site_member_total_friend_count() ?></div>
<div class="field-name xprofile-data"><?php bp_the_site_member_random_profile_data() ?></div>
</div>Just make sure to place your custom theme in the proper place and then select it in WPMU’s backend via “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”

I’m glad your BuddyPress install is functioning once again.
As you have already done, one of the first places to begin troubleshooting BuddyPress issues is by deactivating plugins one at a time until the problem goes away. If it does not go away, then the issue may be BuddyPress related.
In reply to: Featured members: possible to show fewer details?I do not see any BuddyPress widgets entitled “Featured Members” in my v1.0 install of BP. Are you using a version newer than v1.0 from trunk?
Either way, the widget I linked you to will solve your problem.
In reply to: Error creating groupsWe don’t have sufficient information to provide any assistance. Please answer these questions:
- Which version of WPMU are you running?
- Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU, and if so, from which version and how?
- Did you have WPMU functioning properly before installing and upgrading BuddyPress?
- Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
- Did you log in as site admin in WPMU’s backend and activate BuddyPress?
- Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
- Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or custom themes?
- Are there are errors in your server’s log files, and if so, what are they?

Where did you get this Featured Members widget version? It does not look like mine.
My Featured Members widget only show’s avatar and name. You can find it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-featured-members-widget/

No problem! It is not an easy topic to search.
In reply to: AJAX Requests – Accept POST and GET@JadedEvan-
By the way, I reread my first post and it seems a little standoffish. That was not my intent at all.
We welcome any suggests that you may have with how we can increase BP’s programming flexibility without compromising platform security.
In reply to: AJAX Requests – Accept POST and GETI know this probably does some harm to server security and makes the data integrity a little bit more questionable.
As you recognize, increasing programming flexibility at the expense of platfrom security is not the proper tradeoff. Your request for the ability of BuddyPress plugins to make cross-domain application calls is such a security risk.
As an Open Source project, you are free to hack the core features of your copy of BuddyPress as you see fit. Just remember that if your server and data get compromised because of your hacks, we will not be able to offer any support.
In reply to: Issue with links within BuddyPressOkay, before we can assist further, we need more information. Please answer these questions:
- You’re positive that you’re running WordPress Mu and not single-version WP?
- Assuming the answer to number 1 is yes, then did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU, and if so, from which version and how?
- Did you have WPMU functioning properly before installing and upgrading BuddyPress?
- Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
- Did you log in as site admin in WPMU’s backend and activate BuddyPress?
- Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
- Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or custom themes?
- Are there are errors in your server’s log files, and if so, what are they?
In reply to: How to fix spacing of this.. I attached imagesTresehulyo-
The additional spacing you’re seeing in the “newest” members’ widget output is because the outputted text flows over onto a second line. In your gif, the text says:
registered 9 hours, 7
minutes ago.You can either not worry about it, which is my recommendation, or you can edit the widget output so as to constrain all outputted text to one line.
