The first thing I’d do to start debugging is to find out what the value of $base and $request are where it gets assigned to $result. If you see blogname in both, that’s your problem.
$base = trailingslashit( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) );The above line should dump whatever you have set in you WP General Settings as the Blog URL. If that includes blogname, then the code creating the $request is doing something funky.
Sure. So you can do two things:
- Use CSS to style the members widget to look like the recent active widget (just copy/update the existing CSS)
- Clone the recent active widget into your child theme’s functions.php file and change the call it make to be like the members widget
Changing the CSS is probably the easiest, just set anything you don’t want displayed to
display:noneand it will disappear.Cloning is the cleanest and can be easily shared back to the community for other people trying to do the same thing.
@Modemlooper Shucks, that’s too easy.
First, make a backup of your existing theme and I’m guessing here but…
You might be able to just take your existing WP theme and make it a child theme of bp-default. This should cause WP to go looking in the bp-default theme directory for anything not defined in your main WP theme directory.
Some stuff will break. Fixing it might be difficult. I haven’t tried this so good luck and make a backup first.
Oh, and let us know how it goes.
It’s funny you ask because I’ve been debating this in my head today.
Right now I moved to a static 980px width. This still gives some whitespace on the default theme when viewed on a 1024×768 display. I opted for a fixed width because the flexible width of the main content area wasn’t working for my design plans.
Maybe it’s also just a personal preference, but even on my 1600×1200 main display, I still only allow my browser window to be 1024 width max.
There is a maximum width for any content area before the human brain can’t handle it. There’s a reason newspapers are in columns.
It’s also interesting to read about the “golden ratio” and how it can be applied to web design.
Sounds like you found your solution.
Just as a note, if a user has a 1024×768 resolution screen, their web browser viewable area will not be that width when maximized. The actual width will be somewhere around 1000px (or less) because of the scroll bar and anything else the browser adds in.
I feel like a Junkie. I can’t wait for the next release to get my “fix” on Monday.
Eeek. For some reason I don’t like the idea of purging.
Thanks for the info on the plugin though. That should work if I ever do get into a situation where I need to rebuild the activity stream for blog posts.
