@johnwinch42 those are definitely cool options but no plugin has been released for those functions yet.
Check out https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/ – Unfortunately the BP Skeleton Component has not been upgraded since Feb 2010 – ping! @djpaul ping! @boonebgorges

@johnwinch42 No, it is not easily modifiable if you’ve not written a plugin, but if you have PHP experience, give it a shot. And for pure CSS manipulation via body class filters, you as Super Admin would have to add individual member CSS in style.css – that’ll be a lot.

Version 0.1.9 is not going to be released for at least 4 weeks. Do not install the version 0.1.9 beta on a live site.

@johnwinch42 `When I upload a photo with bp-album, if the size is too big it’s not displaying entirely in the album. I can always add a manual width like this <img src="” width=”700″ /> but if the image uploaded is small it will be extended and it wouldn’t look good. Would it be possible to set that if […]

@johnwinch42 –

Sorry, I don’t.

Marco Rossi experimented with some plugins for this on the site we created for him at http://fisherbook.com/fisherbook-magazine – but, I notice he is no longer using them, so they mustn’t have been successful

@johnwinch42 I’m not really sure what you are asking: Do you want to allow all blogs to have their own choice of theme, but ensure that they use the same font for the admin bar? That’s not really possible, because you don’t have any control over the CSS files in the sub site themes – if […]

@johnwinch42 – check my previous comment, it tells you where to put the filter – you should avoid overwriting your core files.

The filter is applied when posts are saved – so, no it won’t parse old posts, just new ones.

For the resume, you’ll have to look at filtering the post excerpt.

@johnwinch42 –

It may, but without knowing all of your themes’ CSS setups, it’s not possible to say for sure. Order of CSS is important, later definitions will override previous ones. More specific selectors might interfere, as might indiscriminate use of !important.

Give it a try!

@johnwinch42 – ‘fix’ isn’t the right word, as it’s not really broken – in general, WordPress blog post text is left as the original author intended it to be written (with the exception of some meddling by Matt mullenweg). If you want to modify your blog posts to convert @pseudo references into clickable links, you can […]

Hi @johnwinch42, Could you clearly explain exactly what your problem is? Surely if you type in “It’s a test” in the image description then you want the description of the image to display as “It’s a test”. That’s what you’ve described in your problem… If you could give a bit more clarity on your problem. Will […]

@johnwinch42 – If you’re just testing BuddyPress locally, I would just login to PHPMyAdmin and clear out your entire activity table so you won’t have to worry about redirections.

Like you mentioned, once you set the BP_ROOT_BLOG from the onset, you won’t have to worry about redirects whatsoever!

@johnwinch42 – Can you try out the fix in this ticket?

I believe this will fix your problem, as your subdirectory install is located one level deeper than expected.

@johnwinch42 If you are converting an existing theme to BuddyPress, you should probably take a look at this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ It’s not something I’ve used, but there are a number of developers who go that route. Have a look at the plugin / instructions. Also search on this forum for bp-template-pack,…[Read more]

@johnwinch42 Yes, you’ll have to either modify the CSS for the BuddyPress page templates, and / or actually modify the template files (PHP / HTML), depending on how much you want to change the default layout. Don’t make the changes in bp-themes/bp-default though. Instead, it is best to create your own child theme:…[Read more]

@johnwinch42 – I think it is a terminology problem: Each page in a WordPress / BuddyPress site can have it’s own template, so for example a template for posts (single.php), for categories (archive.php), etc.. You can even specialise it further, so that different types of posts have different templates and so on. BuddyPress extends WordPress in the […]
