== Edit your database? Not sure I would know what to do there ==

@elangley Please be aware that when you go WP Multi-Network and then go BP MultiNetwork, you would be expected to know or to learn how to make some changes in database. At this point, you might need to hire a developer. But if you’re game to proceed on your own, please remember to backup your database and server files before going through these processes which require more technical expertise than basic installations. That way, you could revert to previous installation if something goes awry.

I see the problem. Only add the shortcode/s on the main Sitewide Forums page – http://www.mrhensler.com/forums/.- and delete the shortcode/s you added in new forum/sub-forum pages.

Confirmed that the two plugins have broken layouts in IE. You’d have to bring this to the attention of the plugin developers. Note however, that these two plugins have not been updated since mid-2011

Does the same behavior occur when you change theme back to bp-default theme?
Have you checked possible plugin conflict by deactivating other BP plugins?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Did you enable registration in Settings > General

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

If you only have one group, then you can just hardcode the group name in the member-header.php file. Copy over this file from bp-default theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/member-header.php into your theme i.e., wp-content/themes/YourThemeFolder/members/single/member-header.php

Open up member-header.php file and right beside
`<a href="”>` , add `(Microsoft)` for example

@marcacer Here’s a tutorial from Dennis Smolek to get you started for fields during group creation – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/

or, if you can wait until after the group is created – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-groups-extras/

== but getting the first widget area to display the width I need it to is proving problematic. ==

What specifically is the problematic part? site uri? Can’t you just set the style of the div surrounding the widget area in your stylesheet?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`

`

with the following for registration/register.php:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save files.

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/canyon/

D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust to taste.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@brainiacwebdesigns you need to go to Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process, fix alignment of the BP template files to mesh with your theme’s HTML structure.

Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your canyon theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`

`

with
`

<div id="post-” >

`

Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `

…

` or `

..

` to `

// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //

`, just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.

Save files.

@turfnet Code posted for page.php are re dynamic sidebar widgets and not a page. Please double-check if what you posted above is correct. If not, then post new pastebin.com URL for page.php with correct code.

If it was indeed the code the theme author posted there, I want to see the codes for index1.php, index2.php, index3.php and index4.php

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Recommend that you log in at WPorg forums and post in plugin’s forums as enhancement request https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-profile-video-widget

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Haven’t seen one yet. Great idea for a plugin though.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Please note what I posted above re not posting large blocks of code here.

The problem is with your Snazzy theme. Rename snazzy theme folder in server via FTP/cPanel/FileManager, etc. from wp-content/themes/snazzy to wp-content/themes/snazzy-xxx to gain access to your wp-admin

Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins. Can you add a regular WP image gallery to your Posts/Pages? Are the images showing up in published posts/pages?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

== The Issue is, when setting a Front page different from BLOG in the WP reading menu, I get the “too many redirects” error. ==

@gnoric Create a special WP template file named home.php, add content you have in /home/, remove the Home page you created before, and upload home.php to your current theme folder. Whatever content/code you place there will automatically show up in home page.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Have you changed to bp-default theme and checked if issue is corrected?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

1. BuddyPress is not activated in your installation per my check at this time.

2. You need to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress by installing and activating the BP Template Pack plugin, then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility and changing/adding some files https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/mystique-theme-from-digitalnature/

Also, if you want people to help with troubleshooting, do provide test username and password for volunteers to use for your site. You can always delete that test login info later.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

== but you are right…it shouldn’t touch the functions.php file of other themes… ==

Deactivate all plugins and change to default theme.
Follow the info posted in codex article.
Install/Run the Exploit Scanner plugin right now in your site.
Install/Run Theme Check plugin (check each theme) and Log Deprecated Notices plugin with WP_DEBUG true.
Backup DB and server files regularly.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

== sbrajesh BP Multi Network … I am also running WP Multi-Network ==

I don’t believe those two are compatible. If you want to run WP MultiNetwork, then you should use the BuddyPress MultiNetwork plugin by wpmuguru and johnjamesjacoby – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@caf12 sorry, Canvas theme is a different beast to make compatible with BP altogether We did some template pack compatibility in this thread https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/woo-canvas-child-theme-customization-and-ajax/ but the ajax issue with Canvas (no problem with other themes from woo) is not resolved.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

That’s an old plugin. The simple way to remove inserted adminbar is to add the following

`<?php
define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );
?>`
at the top of bp-custom.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/
