Hello. Up until the recent upgrade to wordpress ms (3.9.1), buddypress (2.0.1), and bbpress, my user’s avatars where showing just fine throughout my site. Now they only show up on the main site. I saw this thread http://buddypress.org/support/topic/v1-7-no-avatars/ but I cannot find ‘settings’, ‘discussion’ from the wp-admin dashboard. I can find…[Read more]

My apologies for not being accurate; you are correct, it is the exact error you mention: “ERROR: Your topic needs a title.”

I could be wrong, but I believe it is my function that is causing this to happen. Not being very good at php, my thought is that the submit input for my google book search function is triggering a new topic submission…[Read more]

If this challenge I am having is beyond the scope of help in the bbpress forums, then I understand. The below code is a function that allows the user to submit a search request for a book title via the google books api. When the user clicks “search”, the function works great and returns results in a Jquery window. The problem I am having; it…[Read more]

@cyndimarie

Did you determine how to do this? I’m trying to do something similar. I’ve figured out that I needed to create a bp-custom.php file, and I’ve used that to rearrange and rename the menu items in the buddypress profile page. But similar to you, I want to move the page title and avatar.

If I figure this out before you respond, I’ll come…[Read more]

@aces

Thanks!!!!

It was my inexperience in php coding (a huge understatement). The problem was spaces before the .

Next time I will use the code tag – still new to this.

Thanks again – very much appreciated. I suppose we can close this as solved. I would do that but do not know how, or if I am even able…

I am using wordpress multisite 3.8.1 and buddypress 1.9. I am trying to customize my site, so I’ve created a bp-custom.php file. I’ve been reading the codex pages and I am now at an impasse.

When I first implemented the bp-custom.php it caused severe conflicts with BotDetect CAPTCHA, so I removed that plugin. That allowed bp-custom to work…[Read more]

We can close this one down. I’ve created bp-custom.php, but am having issues with that and will start a new thread.

I am running Wordpress MS 3.8.1 and Buddypress 1.9. I have created child themes so that I can make changes. I want to customize the layout of the profile page, to include removing some options and renaming other options.

I have been trying to use the plugin “Buddypress Custom Profile Menu”, but it currently appears to have issues.

Can someone…[Read more]

Okay, I think I see what you mean. I am going back to reading now. Thanks for your help and directing me in the correct direction.

I guess we can close this thread.

Thanks.

I think I need to include another question. In my personal themes folder, I assume I need to create a style.css file. I have done this, but I don’t know what to put on the “Template:” line.

Hi Hugo,

I did read that link you provided previously, and I have been searching the codex pages. Perhaps this is a case of “the light not coming on” for me. 🙂 It is probably an issue of me not ever having created a child theme.

If I understand the codex link you sent me correctly, then basically I create a buddypress directory in my personal…[Read more]

Hello; need help please.
