hnla – I’m sorry your response wasn’t seen earlier. Thank you for the information. I don’t quite understand your answer because css is a cut/paste for me 🙂 — But I’ll do some Google searches and try to figure out more.

OK. I found duplicate lines of add_action in the forum-attachments-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php. I kept these lines (starting around 183) and removed the ones that I apparently added at the top of the php file. add_action('groups_forum_new_topic_after','bb_attachments_upload_form'); add_action('groups_forum_new_reply_after',…[Read more]

OK ! It’s working with the exception of the file attachments (because I removed the do_action lines) but the page now posts to the proper forum. 🙂 Here is the code: ` IMPORTANT: This form does not work yet. Please do not use this form. How To Ask A Great Question And Get It Answered Maybe you are […]

Update: If I remove, and then the header loads properly, the submit buttons show BUT nothing posts to the forums. This is due to form action being incorrect. What should it be? Oh so close! Update to the update: It turns out that the file attachments portion of buddypress plugin aren’t present either. […]

Ugh. I feel like I’m so close to getting this to work. Rather than try to create a BP page, a WP page was created with a template. The template contains the following code: ` How To Ask A Great Question And Get It Answered Maybe you are stuck on a homework problem or do not […]

This may work for you:

I’m willing to have it added to the codex. Others on here helped develop it last summer (I believe). Unfortunately I cannot get the Ask a question button to work in a sidebar (I posted this in another thread the other day)….

In wp_config.php define ( 'BP_FORUMS_PARENT_FORUM_ID', $forum_id ); OR Modify the /forum/index.php and loop so that the forums show on one page. ` <form action="” method=”post” id=”forum-topic-form” class=”standard-form” enctype=”multipart/form-data”> <option value="”> <input class="submit" type="submit" name="submit_topic"…[Read more]

It works ! There were 5 places without semicolons and one place with a ) rather than } …. The code now loads with your suggestion and I’ll add in the css code to make the gradient now but wanted to thank you again for the help. I’ll have to dissect your last response over […]

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll be working on that page in a couple hours and will go through the custom.css style sheet that was created by copying the style.css and adding in the new css for customization. I believe that the minify is done by cloudflare – so that is a setting that I […]

@hnla – as always – you are the champion of css. I totally misunderstood the custom.css file and was adding the css into the dialog box on the Sealight control panel labeled custom css: “Quickly add some CSS to your theme by adding it to this block.” Without even looking, I just figured it was building […]

Correct. activity-inner was not even being applied. The theme allows the customization to occur through the control panel – rather than modifying a theme file. Therefore, the activity-inner was not being added ;because I wasn’t sure what css to apply I’ll try the code you suggest and see what happens. Thanks! Update: Well, drats. That […]

Here is one way:
—-
Register a widget on a template page of your theme. Set that page to the front.

Next, use the RSS widget (or another plugin) to show the blog post.

Work continues on getting the theme working well with BP. This is the page I’m struggling with. I was able to adjust the avatar margin-top and the form#whatisnew … but can’t get activity-inner to adjust. http://www.thechembook.com/chemistrycircle The bp.css from the template pack is loading but I want to be able to adjust <div…[Read more]

I haven’t played with 3.2 but in looking at the line 144 – and reading the code notes – the parent::WPDB is the issue.. ` function BPDB( $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname, $dbhost ) { parent::WPDB( $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname, $dbhost ); $args = func_get_args(); $args = call_user_func_array( array( &$this, ‘_init’ ), $args ); if ( $args ) […]

I’d recommend TigerTech and CloudFlare for free CDN and enhanced security. Gee, I feel like I’m an ad. No, I don’t work for them but started using CloudFlare the other day (used TigerTech for a long time). CF cut out thousands of spammers on my site and stopped many threats (hundreds).

You might be interested in CloudFlare. This will help with security as well as CDN. In the meantime, there is a plugin for wordpress that will help you analyze load times:
