jad117 –
something similar happened to me. I was editing the wrong file that was supposed to be the right file.
there are a few different ways to find other versions of the same file.

my preferred method:
if you have your site backed up to your local machine:
if you have Notepad++ (which is a free text editor program found here ->http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) you can use the “find in files” function. enter the phrase you are looking for (in this instance “public groups”). on the Directory section, select the wordpress folder. I tend to go to the highest directory possible so that I know for sure I’m not missing something.
the results will show you all instances where that phrase is. you can click on the phrase and it will open the file for you!
edit it there and then ftp/upload it to the same file path it came from (the file path is listed in the search results)

other places to look for the file you need to edit:
if you don’t have your site backed up on your local server
sometimes, the files are not on the Appearance tab. sometimes, they are in the plugins folder. (that was the case for one of the profile files I wanted to edit)
yoursite.comwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-default
go to the plugins page
select buddypress from the drop down menu
edit the file there

hopefully, one of these two suggestion will help.
good luck.

I just checked with the suggested edits and it does in fact appear that my edits are not loading.
what is going on? how do I push loop edits out?

Inquiry bumping – addition query: has anyone else received a call-time error for other areas of buddypress?

[@mabjustmab Participant 13 years, 8 months ago]

Hi Virtuali,
thanks for looking at this.
I am using WordPress Version 3.1.1
buddypress Version 1.2.8

the error is caused when I Post on a group page.
the post goes through, but after this error.
I do NOT get the error when posting on the forum page.

also,
when I try to create a new group, I get a whole page of errors (like below)
when I go to the top of the groups page, the new group is there.

any help is greatly appreciated!
thank you!

Thank you for responding. I will check that. Unfortunately, a much larger error has cropped up that bumped this style issue back.

I will let you know how the test goes. (mostly I appreciate you letting me know I was in the right file. It was driving me nuts!)

[@mabjustmab Participant 13 years, 8 months ago]

bumbpity?
nothing, hunh?

[@mabjustmab Participant 13 years, 8 months ago]

posting to say I am getting the same error and I wish to follow this thread.

I am seeing suggestions to edit the PHP.ini file, but I am unable to find it.
not sure if that helps.

[@mabjustmab Participant 13 years, 8 months ago]

Thank you! that worked!
I think the php in the page plugin (Exec-PHP) wasn’t installed last time I tried to dump the activity stream loop in.

I tried again, and success! yay! thank you!

[@mabjustmab Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Just learned about Buddypress and it is exactly what I need.
unfortunately, I cannot seem to install it on my site.

I keep getting a whole mess of these errors:
`Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of apply_filters(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums.php on line 193`

searching for that error produced this page

I tried to work with the solutions suggested there, and, like the original poster, had no success.

any suggestions?
Thank you.
