Is it possible for me to copy-and-paste the old style to the new one?

@sillery4ever At this point, it would be better to override the styles in current stylesheet because the selectors used in stylesheet enqueued by BP is more specific than the selectors used in the old stylesheet.
e.g. #buddypress item-list in BP theme compatibility vs. plain .item-list in old BP Default stylesheet

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@sillery4ever What about the instructions and codex article do you not understand? Please be specific.

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@airfieldnotes Deactivate NextGen gallery plugin and change to Twenty Fourteen theme. Some people have reported bugs with that plugin and BP.

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@jamierat1 Could be a theme issue. Change to Twenty Fourteen theme and check the register page again.

@synaptic I believe JJJ has https://github.com/johnjamesjacoby/hhvvvm

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

Whatever page I create and set as register or activate it just takes me to the homepage

That is a default behavior if you go to the register page while you’re still logged in. Log out first.

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

yes, I’ve done troubleshooting and searched the support forums with no luck.

@airfieldnotes RE BP Default theme http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/ so at this point that theme is not the standard you should be looking at.

I’ve created some extended profiles

Sanity check: you created those via Users > Profiles, right?

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@sillery4ever the simplest solution would be to create a new file named buddypress.php, add code, then upload it to the root of your theme’s folder in server.

Re code you will place in buddypress.php:
Normally it is only a matter of copying over a theme’s page.php file and pasting it in buddypress.php, then configuring HTML etc. to render all your BP pages with the same layout using BP theme compatibility. See how it was done with the WP Default themes https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/

If that doesn’t work for you, please contact premium theme author for assistance.

@foresme
1) Activity Privacy: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/

2) Profile Privacy: copy over this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php into your active theme folder following this structure wp-content/themes/yourthemename/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php

– at the very top of that file, insert:
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in()) : ?>

– at the very end of that file, insert:

<?php else : ?>
<?php echo "<div style='width: 100%; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #eee; text-align: center; font-style:bold; font-size: 1.3em;'>You have to log in to view this member's profile.</div>"; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I’ve tested this against all my other plugins and themes and it seems to just be happening on this theme (called buddyboss).

@jono_39 Sorry to learn that you’re having that issue. It’s great that you took the initiative to troubleshoot and identify the cause. I can only say at this point that the best place to find resolution would be at the premium theme author’s forums because we do not have access to the theme.

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@appinsecurity Sorry, but we do not delete accounts here. https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Deleting_Accounts

@mayan2014 download older WP versions at https://wordpress.org/about/roadmap/
I hope you backed up your DB and files before upgrading WP/BP. To make sure that your BP and WP versions are synced, check out https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/releases/

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@mayan2014 What BP version did you upgrade from? Have you checked whether the theme and/or the plugins you have activated in your site are compatible with the latest BP version?

You can rename/delete the BuddyPress plugin folder via cpanel or s/FTP. You can download older versions of BP at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/developers/

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@leonyipa please delete the following lines from BuddyDefault’s sidebar.phpfile

<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'messages' ) ) : ?>
<?php bp_message_get_notices(); /* Site wide notices to all users */ ?>
<?php endif; ?>

You can instead either add the Sitewide Notices widget in your sidebar or just allow the sitewide notice to appear in the header area like you have now. https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/buddypress-widgets/#buddypress-sitewide-notices

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@airfieldnotes WP/BP versions? Have you done some basic troubleshooting? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/

@bluep92877 easier this way -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-blog-author-link/

username appearing twice on registration form

@jaciando1 Change the “User Name” profile field name in the “Profile Details” box -> go to admin menu
Users > Profile Fields and click on the “edit” button under that profile field name.

I also appear to have two different register forms???

You can add the following to your theme’s functions.php page:

/* If BuddyPress is active */
if ( class_exists('BuddyPress') ) {
	add_action('init','mme_redirect_register');
	function mme_redirect_register(){
		global $pagenow;
		if( 'wp-login.php?action=register' == $pagenow ) {
			wp_redirect('http://buddypress.dev/join-us');
			exit();
		}
	}
}

Change http://buddypress.dev/join-us to your site’s register page.

@tcbarrett Fixed! Some code from the past wrought havoc to one reply.
Thank you for the report 🙂

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@giuseppe23 Could be border around item-list li . Another guess is to look for box-shadow styles around what I mentioned above or something else. Sorry, can only guess.

You can copy all content of your stylesheet and paste at pastebin.com, then post the generated URL here. Better chances there than all this guessing.

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@giuseppe23 I can only guess at what can be done to remove the border based on image you posted alone. Check if you added borders to:
#buddypress ul#activity-stream or #buddypress ul.actitivity-list

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@intristin you can either
a) copy over member-header.php from second link following this to server wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/buddypress/members/single/ folder and create the button after this line or
b) ask chat devs re what to hook into bp_member_header_actions

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@merlien84 All right. Closing this topic. Please feel free to create a new one.

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@giuseppe23 The following should help you:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Forms/Styling_HTML_forms

Style Web Forms Using CSS

or Google “styling forms” e.g. to get so much more styling tips

[@mercime Participant 12 years, 3 months ago]

@jarith Marking this topic as resolved.

As to removing the “Private” and “Protected” prefices, you could try adding bbPress forum conditional to your function or to the one Konstantin (first comment in that post) posted
e.g.

if ( class_exists('bbPress') ) {
      if ( is_bbpress() ) {
         // do this
      }
}

Undoubtedly, you’ll get additional support at the bbPress forums 🙂
