@roxanne-bland WP/BP versions? Site URL?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

1. https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Create bp-custom.php and add
`<?php
define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘guilds’ );
?>`

2. https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

== Is there any chance that in a future update, it might be possible to have an option to rename Groups to whatever you want via BP settings? ==
You could add enhancement ticket in BP trac – log in with same username and password https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

@roxanne-bland not right. Go to dashboard menu, Plugins > Add New and enter “bp template pack” in keyword and click on “install” button in pop-up.

@BlinkyBill01 you don’t need to add a break tag. Instead, you could make all buttons line up horizontally or vertically via adding styles to your buttons in your theme’s stylesheet. You can use Firebug, a Firefox add-on, to check what selector you’d need to style the buttons.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

BP and WP versions? Could be a theme or plugin conflict. Have you tried basic troubleshooting by changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Add the following in your stylesheet
`#primary .widget-title {
text-align: left !important;
}`
[Updated: 03-04-12]

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

To make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you’ll need to install and activate BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

You’re welcome. Simple way yes – vote 5 stars for BuddyPress at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

You’re referring to BuddyPress Followers plugin, right? What theme are you using? Follow button shows up/works when you’re using bp-default theme or WP theme with BP Template Pack. If you’re using custom BP theme, check if it has “ in custom theme’s /members/single/member-header.php

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();
});
});

`

C. Save files. Upload 6 BP folders to your server wp-content/themes/insignio/

D. You might also want to check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

@mosaicrob You will change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your insignio 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
`

`

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

@jamesmcbennett Sorry, missed the header-wrapper div. Open up your header-buddypress.php file and above
`

`
add
`

get_queried_object_id();
$title = get_post_field( ‘post_title’, $post_id ); ?>

`
Save file and re-upload to server.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Do you mean something like this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/screenshots/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

BP Album, free, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/ has photos and the BP Media beta version will also support audio files, embedded videos, embedded images, and much, much more.

BP Gallery, premium, http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/ audio, video, images for individual users and/or groups

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Could just be that the widget plugin is interfering with the function calls. Not sure about that. The scope of forums assistance covers getting HTML structure of theme onto the BP Template files. I used the info you have posted in pastebin. If there’s still some misalignment, let me know by posting url’s of BP pages in your site.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Could have sworn that Peter Anselmo’s documents plugin had a version compatible with BP 1.5 but the github one is compatible with lower BP version. As for working version of this that plugin, you could try and contact the developer at his website and offer payment for updated version at http://www.code-zen.net/contact/

If that doesn’t work for you, you could hire a developer or Boone to build upon or create a plugin which add anselmo’s or new functions to @boonebgorges excellent BuddyPress Docs plugin

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

@neodoxa first thing, we have to remove the default image background and default left padding, etc. in your theme by adding following to your stylesheet:
`div#item-nav ul,
div#item-body ul {
padding-left: 0;
}
div#item-nav ul li,
div#item-body ul li {
background: transparent none;
}`

You should install Firebug, a Firefox add-on, to help you identify and correct styles

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

First, what theme are you using? Did you test widget logic with bp-default theme?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Just checked out the insignio theme and based on the HTML structure via View Source code, it shows that there already is a `

` which would conflict with BP Template Pack files’ `

`, therefore I am now sure that you cannot use the 2nd method of just adding xxx-buddypress.php files (2nd method) to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress. I needed the full source of your theme’s header.php file which was rendered in source view to make sure there was no conflict.

You will need to change 16 template files (1st method) for compatibility with BP.

Also, in the revision of 16 template files, the page title will be within the content and not standing out in one line like in the regular page, because doing otherwise is beyond the scope of this assistance. If you still want to proceed, let me know.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I see the site title and and the header search bar in page source code.

The problem was the absolute positioning of the site title and search bar in your stylesheet

replace:
`#header #search-bar {
left: 0;
position: absolute;
text-align: right;
top: 90px;
width: 100%;
}`

with
`#header #search-bar {
width: 100%;
}`

and work from there for the search

Then you have
`#header h1 {
position: absolute;
text-indent: -9999px;
top: 90px;
}`
and below that
`#header h1 {
bottom: 12px;
left: 15px;
position: absolute;
width: 44%;
}`

which you can remove and start from
`#header h1 {
width: 44%;
}`

then use Firefox with Firebug to test and copy styling if you wish.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

@mosaicrob

1) Which WP theme are you using? Need to see a demo to confirm HTML structure.

2) What you pasted for header.php is missing opening html, head, body tags etc. Please double check and repost code within header.php

3) Yes, it does look like you can use 2nd method for BP Compatibility, but can’t be sure till I see correct #2) and #1) above

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

You have not indicated whether you perform basic troubleshooting procedures like:
– First way to address this is to check whether the same behavior applies when you change to bp-default theme.
– To further isolate the issue, if changing to bp-default doesn’t work, is to deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and see if issue is corrected.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

http://goo.gl/zUiUO – this URL has been disabled.

There is no header image logo in bp-default theme. There is the site title link. Otherwise, what did you mean by “header logo”?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

B. Copy your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the top of the file, above all other code, add this:
`

`

then at the bottom of the same file, below all other code, add this:
`

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 file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to wp-content/themes/wpflexishop/

D. Style modifications for BP templates – you might want to use some or all of styles listed in this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

Sidenote: Looks like there’s a missing `` after “ in your sidebar.php per your pastebin.com post. Copy and paste typo?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, @ mentions usually get emailed by default. Didn’t know if you disabled that in your settings like I did
a) is Good choice

If you’ve 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.
