BuddyPress.org

BP Codex is your friend. Disable the custom header functionality on the default BuddyPress theme … add the following to your wp-config.php file:
define( 'BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER', true );

The code for the BP login form can be found from line 40 to line 52 here. Adjust divs and format to taste.

Your new settings – pretty permalinks – aren’t working even for regular pages. I’m getting a “Page Not Found” error for http://awarenessmatters.org/about/ so this is not a BuddyPress error. Apache mod_rewrite must be enabled in your server for “pretty permalinks” to work.

– change permalinks in settings to something other than default – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration
– then change theme to bp-default theme
– configure BP Components – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

@AnindyaRay I see that you’ve found a header parallax tutorial. The thing is, since you’re on localhost, it’s not as easy to ID the exact corrections which would give you a fix for what’s there in the image you uploaded. That being said, my stab in the dark is adding the following style to your child […]

@luvs123 Not sure where you are in getting Arras theme compatible with BuddyPress. But you might want to look at this Arras Child theme with BuddyPress templates installed and configured – http://durkkooistra.com/brownbuddy/
You might want to style the fonts smaller in the sidebar, but that’s not a deal-breaker 🙂
Good luck.

I’m using “.html on pages” as well on one WPMS install with 280+ pages converted from HTML. Haven’t tested the plugin on WPMS with BP 1.2.6 install. Methinks that the plugin will have a better possibility come BP 1.3+

@gunju2221 yeah, I saw his post about “To Make your Topic Title Not be cut off”.

You have to override bp-default’s styling from table.forum {
margin: -9px -20px 20px;
width: auto;
}
totable.forum {
margin: -9px 10px 20px 0px;
width: auto;
}.

@functionmunchkin nice ones, didn’t notice them before .

@cshrimpt blog creation is in the province of WordPress MS, not BuddyPress. Read through the codex https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration and resolve WordPress issues before installing BuddyPress at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Thank you Will. Found the URL https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpckeditor/

Have you checked out BP Codex? https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/

@AnindyaRay There are at least 4 overlapping images in the background. Search for “parallax jquery” and you’ll get different ways to create that effect including one for parallax in header only. The trick is making sure that it won’t conflict with WP

Have you checked out any of these?

That’s strange, it should be in BuddyPress > General Settings panel right under “Disable global forum directory?:” What BP/WP versions are you on?
