Thank you @mercime!
It’s almost working now!
It also required a snippet of code to be added to the functions.php file so that I could add the php code to a text widget.
Now it just needs a little fidgeting with the layout.
Could it be the code for the login changed between 1.5 and 1.7.1?
If so, can anyone really quickly tell me which file to find the login code in 1.7.1?
Yes!
Success!
Thank you @bphelp
I did not copy the single quotes but I did have the php opening and closing around it, and I think that’s what was incorrect. Or maybe something from the single quotes got included … in any case it works now!
Onward!
I think you are correct as I re-entered
show_admin_bar(true);into the functions.php file with no white space and it’s fine now.
I’m still getting the WP Admin Bar though and not my old buddy bar. (Yes the bit is in bp-custom!)
Thanks!
Thanks!
Can’t get it to work yet … this theme has WP Admin Bar turned off by default and the functions.php file is a bit tetchy. I had added this bit to the functions file to get the WP Admin Bar to show up:
show_admin_bar(true);When I added this bit to the bp-custon.php file:
<?php // Bring BuddyBar back add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ ); ?>The site threw an error on the last line of the functions.php file. Can’t figure out how that is related. But I’ll continue to work around it and see if I can fix it.
Even when I deleted either/or/both of the new snippets the functions.php file threw an error until I reloaded from the original theme files.
Thanks!
I agree with BeautyPirate – it would be great if the user backend pages were included in the template pack. I know that’s quite a bit of work, but it would make it much more user friendly.
Thanks – I’d like to not use a beta version, waiting for the release.
Is there an ETA on 1.7?
I’m waiting for its release to do a major upgrade on both WordPress and BuddyPress all at once …
Good to know, @dgteam … My configuration works fine, and it took a long time to get it configured, but I would love an updated look and feel, mostly to attract subscribers.
So while it is something I want to do, I am conflicted about updating.
Thank you @mercime !
Yes, thank you.
My main question is that I think the BP filenames changed after 1.5 and I highly edited my current files to work with my current theme. I am not using a standard BP install. I rewrote quite a bit. So I’m wondering if just updating the plugin is going to royally screw my current setup/filenames – I really don’t want to have the files and the database disagree because I want to make sure that all of the site activity is still available – am I going to have to majorly edit the database as well? Does that make sense?
I’m trying to decide if I have to blow everything (backing up databases for sure) completely away and do a fresh install.
So, I’m understanding you to say that I should not upgrade WordPress unless I also upgrade BuddyPress?
OK, less work for now that way – I can spend my time making BuddyPress function as is …
Thanks.
I won’t be upgrading to the upcoming new version of buddypress for quite some time, so I’d like to find this line of code asap.
Thanks!
The images are blurry like an image is set to progressive and then it doesn’t fully load … Could there be a setting somewhere that is interfering with the image loading fully?
From my experience, all you have to do is add yourself as a User on that blog.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
That works! Not exactly the way I want it, but the spacing between words is correct even if they are in a backwards breadcrumb looking way. I can live with it. Better than what it was!
(Oh, yes, I realize I could flip it, but I’m just going to leave it : )
Thanks @mercime !
While I work (sometimes) in Web Development as a QA Engineer, and work all other hours on growing my own site, it isn’t that I don’t want to work on documentation for someone else’s project, it’s that I have absolutely no time to take on a part of someone else’s project. Nor, do I feel I should have to. I too have often been perplexed by attitude towards users on this board – when I have gotten usable help or pointers, it’s almost always been from Ray, bless his heart. But if this product (albeit a free one) is released without adequate testing, or time commitment from the developers to document and assure the quality of the plugin, then word, eventually, if it hasn’t already, is going to get around.
I worry about a plugin that *only* works out of the box on one WP theme and not even a well designed theme at that. There is no way that I would re-install my site around an out of the box theme. I’m sure there are a lot of potential buddypress users who think the same way, and wouldn’t even attempt to do what I have done (am trying to do) with my site.
Once I get the buddypress bit working with the site, I’m not going to upgrade. Buddypress needs to be edited in too many places to make it work. I might do a test run with 2.0 when the forums and WP upgrade, but if it doesn’t work easily enough, I’m going to stay with the set up I have.
Getting what we pay for? What happened to a sense of pride and satisfaction about delivering great product and treating users with respect rather than disdain?

“2. When you are in a buddypress page, like say activity, and I click on another users avatar, the info in the sidebar widget then populates with that person’s info.”
If you click on an @username or on a person’s avatar, it usually takes you to that person’s activity stream. The member-header would normally be at the top of the page, so instead, since you put the member-header code in the sidebar, then that’s where it appears. The @username‘s avatar and information is called in that member-header code.
Oh wait, I should say that that page is created, it’s just not on the list of pages that are created, so until I landed on it, I didn’t know that was a page I had to work on.
@modemlooper Because it involved my first multisite install at the same time and reconfiguring an existing eleven year old web site. I’ve totally got the BuddyPress pages up and running and they have been since I installed it – it’s the CONFIGURING the look and feel that is a pita. There are a lot of menus and CSS problems to work out. It’s learning where all of the files live and what does what. It’s not like editing WorPress at all, which is easy, or at least not time consuming.
Oh, and I’m finding that there are a few needed pages the BP Template pack doesn’t create. Like when someone clicks on “View” after an excerpt (not the read more link), the resulting page is not configured with template pack, which is fine, the pages themselves are easy enough to create.
I know you guys think that Template Pack is the coolest thing, but it’s still not plug and play and it’s still a lot of work.
OK, I just fixed it. I don’t know why I didn’t notice this before – it was the quote marks in the href= !! Those little grey squares that are in the snippet example above made me think to check those out.
I had copied and pasted that snippet and didn’t think to check the quote marks as they looked fine, but really they weren’t!
Yes, that makes no difference. Well, it does make a difference, but changing it does not fix the problem.
I think it’s the same results with add action – I’ve edited that back and forth a few times, but I’ll try again.
