Do post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/ which is monitored by BP Media plugin devs

The alternative is a premium plugin, BP Gallery

I see a /blog-2/ in the url of your Blog posts. Delete the blog page, then go to Pages > Trash and delete permanently the blog pages you have in there. Create a new Page named Blog and go to Settings > Reading, select your new Blog page and save.

== I get a 500 Internal Server Error or 404 Not Found when trying to get Buddy Press pages. ==

When did this happen? After you uploaded header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php ? Or after activating a new plugin?

Have tried running Settings > Permalinks again to other than default, and click Save?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

== it looks so rubbish in IE. ==
Yup, IE < 9 is bane of designer/developer There are still at least 2 solutions as I pointed to above if you want to pursue the buttons later.

== But please is there a way to wrap the Edit Profile link which is in the item-header so that it shows on your own profile alone and not when viewing others profile. instead of hiding it under private message button. ==

Saw your new topic and answered you there https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-link-show-on-your-profile-alone/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@naijaping you almost got it. Delete extra`<a` and add `;` after the `()`'s

`
<a class="edit-my" href="profile/edit/” >Edit Profile
`

@wwwobbly Congratulations and Happy Easter indeed.

== but what if I do want the homepage to display a static page, & my posts to show under “Blog”, how do I do that? ==
I posted how to do it above. This would help you further https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

== Is there a way to completely UNINSTALL and REINSTALL all components of BuddyPress and BuddyPress Template Pack?! ==

To uninstall template pack, you can delete the BP template folders in your theme’s folder, then deactivate template pack plugin.

To uninstall BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

== I keep getting a 404 Page Not Found Error for EVERY BuddyPress link I click on at the top main menu ==

Mod_rewrite must be enabled in your server for “pretty permalinks” required by BuddyPress. Go to Settings > Permalinks and set it to something other than default.

== The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, Discussion Forums, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register. Repair ==

Go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages. You need to associate BP components with Pages. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

== Is this a setting that needs to be changed? ==

@margysdr Basically, if you left Groups enabled in BuddyPress > Components panel, then the links to respective groups in the Group Directory page should open to each individual Group’s page.

WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Have you changed to bp-default theme to see if issue is corrected? If not, then have you disabled other plugins except BuddyPress to see if issue is resolved?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@words2us I only see the facebook connect widget in your sidebar. So assume you want to move login below that:
– Copy over sidebar.php from bp-default theme into your bp-default child theme folder.
– Open up sidebar.php with a text editor and move up “ to just under “
– Save file and upload to server

@lyricsandlines good luck.

@hnla thank you for updating the BP codex page re deleting BP

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

BP Multi Network Plugin developer/s usually check https://wordpress.org/tags/bp-multi-network so do post there as well.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

The default home page of the bp-default theme are blog posts. If you created a static page (e.g. named “Home”) for the home page, then you should create another page named e.g. Blog and go to Settings > Reading and select Home for the static front page and select Blog for the blog posts. If that’s not the case, site url?

Are you still using the same webhost you used in this post from 9 months ago? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/problems-with-buddypress/?topic_page=2&num=15

Have you contacted your webhosting tech support if they support BuddyPress with your hosting plan? Can they increase memory to 96MB or more if needed?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

You can do that. Have you checked it in IE7/8?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

B. Create a blank sidebar-buddypress.php and in it add:

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/atahualpa/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php are.

Final note: Check out the style modifications to contain some BP elements. Copy these and paste into your theme’s stylesheet and adjust as needed. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

UPDATED INFORMATION BELOW

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@indieconnect This is to confirm that to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, you only need to create two new files. Those files are header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php. You do not need a footer-buddypress.php file

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your Atahualpa theme folder during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your Atahualpa theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, members, groups, register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

A. Copy theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

UPDATED INFORMATION BELOW

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

There can only be normally one background image per element in CSS2 so when you add the icon, it will override the gradient background created in parent theme. You could add extra bg-img using pseudo-elements but that’s good for modern browsers and IE8+ only.

You can use multiple background images for one element with CSS3 compatible with most modern browsers incl. IE9 above. But if you have users who use IE8 below, it will note show up at all.

One solution for cross-browser compatibility down to IE7 is to create an image with the icon and the gradient background, e.g. activity-time-since-with-gradient-background.png, together and hook that to the link:
`div#item-header #send-private-message a {
background: transparent url(_inc/images/activity-time-since-with-gradient-background.png) left center no-repeat !important;
padding-left: 25px;
}`
Of course your image name won’t be that long.

The other solution is this: http://www.norestfortheweekend.com/2011/02/26/css3-gradients-multiple-backgrounds-and-ie7/ This is more involved but a great learning experience if you have the time.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Note: `</script`& grt; above should be “

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/wikiasi/

D. Check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and copy these over to your theme’s stylesheet then adjust as needed.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

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

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /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
`<?php
get_header();
global $woo_options;
?>

<?php
get_template_part( ‘includes/advanced-search-form’ );
get_template_part( ‘includes/filter-bar’ );
?>

<!–
google_ad_client = “ca-pub-0044915326038182”;
/* Leader board 728 x 90 */
google_ad_slot = “6866417018”;
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//–>

<article >

`

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

…

` or `

..

` to `

the Respecitve BP page Titles

` and move it above `

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

Save files.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@naijaping Hook the background image to your link. Add this to your stylesheet
`div#item-header #send-private-message a {
background: transparent url(_inc/images/activity-time-since.png) left center no-repeat !important;
padding-left: 25px;
}`

In addition, you have two styles for `div#item-header #send-private-message` and the second one overlaps and hides the Edit Profile link. So look for `div#item-header #send-private-message`

Keep the first one below
`div#item-header #send-private-message {
float: left;
position: absolute;
right: 330px;
top: 22px;
}`

Delete the second one below
`div#item-header #send-private-message {
right: 243px;
}`

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@alanchrishughes To create a BuddyPress-compatible theme, either
1. Create a child theme of bp-default theme, OR
2. Create a WP theme which is BP-ready, OR
3. Download and install a WP theme, install/activate BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.
