I just read your forum post about wanting to make a profile css plugin. I know that was like 9 months ago, but did you make any progress on it? Let me know, thanks.

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.

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

That’s not really possible, because you don’t have any control over the CSS files in the sub site themes – if […]

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.

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!

If you want to modify your blog posts to convert @pseudo references into clickable links, you can […]

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 […]

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

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

Don’t make the changes in bp-themes/bp-default though. Instead, it is best to create your own child theme:…[Read more]

You can even specialise it further, so that different types of posts have different templates and so on. BuddyPress extends WordPress in the […]
