BuddyPress.org

As Boone says in that ticket try replacing this line:

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

With

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

A few questions if that’s ok to try and work out what is going on.

1. Did your theme work for BuddyPress before you updated BuddyPress? If so it could be your theme is causing the issues.
2. What template is being used for the site rendering – is it single.php or page.php or another page?

Admin’s can edit under the WordPress admin panel > Activity.

Aside from that there was this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-edit-activity-stream/ – not sure if that works on current versions though. May be worth trying out on a safe test site (not your live site) to see.

My first suggestion would be to do some user research. If you work there you can probably brain storm what you’d want from the site as a starting point. If you don’t then select 3-4 user types from the range of users that use them. A type can be gender, age, role, capability – something that makes them unique from other types. A simple format…[Read more]

What seems to have happened is you’ve closed a div twice or something similar. That column is now outside the main div which is why it’s dropped below. If you use an inspector (safari/chrome) you can see and I’d suggest going back in and checking what happened div wise.

Are you showing activity on the front or do you use a theme that outputs the activity? Either way – you can remove tabs by editing the template. Which one depends on what you are doing on your site.

For example using the default buddypress/activity/index.php layout:

Comment out / delete until the 2nd:
<!-- .item-list-tabs -->

But, that of…[Read more]

You can use bp-custom.php and change the default sizes there:
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 100 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 100 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );

This would do global changes though. Should you only want them to be in certain places you can edit templates for…[Read more]

@bphelp just a slight aside but maybe good to mention, you don’t need to do what you said – 1.7 has theme compatibility like @hnla says you should simply have the files in the same location.

That’s a style applied from BuddyPress’s JavaScript as it’s meant to ‘grow’ as it’s in focus.
jq("form#whats-new-form textarea").animate({
height:'50px'
});
– global.js

It’s probably good to either […]

Theme compatibility means you get a good experience out of the box and that’s great but if you want a true community theme you want one designed to do that. I’d say if it did ever link it should with the […]

Unless I am mistaken iFeature 5 isn’t an out of the box theme for BuddyPress? Now, if you are using the beta BuddyPress 1.7 this won’t be an issue but if you are using anything before 1.7 (beta) then you either […]

You don’t need to copy the entire theme. If you are talking BP-Default you can simply create a child theme and do your changes there.

You need to somehow pass it the userid. Something possibly like this could work (it’s untested):

`
$userid = bp_core_get_userid( $username );

Just as a check have you turned on forums and installed BBPress? Or is this the only step you have done?

I’d hazard a guess this is down to some scripting clash/error but it is a bit hard – could you send a link to see your site? If not take a look in something like Firebug or Web Inspector to see if there is an error.

WordPress comes with jQuery – I’d advise you use that one rolled in not link in another. Or are you delinking and adding in because you need something in the new release?

You can create something like Good Reads out of BuddyPress most definitely. How you go about it though is a bit of a huge question. If you don’t feel comfortable first I’d recommend hiring a developer and […]

I am not sure that something is out there to do that but it does sound like a nice idea and I can see it being useful. Off the top of my head you could do something possibly using profile fields. Maybe in a […]
