== integrating Buddypress onto the Genesis Framework ==

@apriljoy217 The Genesis Framework has its own “Genesis Connect” plugin to make the Genesis theme compatible with BuddyPress.

@hnla this worked for me in child theme
`add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘our_deregister_bp_dtheme_styles’, 100 );
function our_deregister_bp_dtheme_styles() {
wp_deregister_style( ‘bp-default-reset’ );
wp_deregister_style( ‘bp-default-main’ );
}`

Where did you install your core WP – domain root, physical subdomain or subdirectory?

Did you install it manually via FTP/cpanel (best for multisite and BP) or via webhost scripts like fantastico, simplescripts (borks many multisite and BP installs)?

When you created your network, did you go subdomain or subdirectory configuration?
All subsites whether subdomain or subdirectory are all virtual subsites. All posts are in database.
blogs.dir will contain uploaded files for subsites and organized in monthly/yearly subfolders.

Is BP activated at primary site or in secondary (subsite) site?

What’s in your .htaccess file?

Something like this? http://buddydev.com/plugins/blog-categories-for-groups/

@hnla no it’s not part of current trunk. It was from my post “Upgrade to WP 3.0 beta 2 and BuddyPress trunk-r2990”
@Nobwaart so how did you come about with that link to the image? I set the blog to be hidden from search engines

== I tried every BP theme that I have and no matter what it still displays the same. … I disabled any plugin having to do with the comments. ==

Then try to deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, not only the ones having to do with the comments, and change to bp-default theme.

== I would like to have to when people click the reply button, the reply form pops up in a lightbox. ==

No plugin available at this time for that kind of pop up.

== I noticed BP only works on the main site and this thread appears to confirm that you can only have one instance of BP correct ==

@Stigmartyr That was three months ago. Since then, there’s http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Those two columns look fixed and good.

== the recommendations put the bottom Featured article all out of wack ==
Don’t know what you mean, only bottom article I see is “Kline’s Korner” and it doesn’t look out of whack.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

@sbrajesh – Now you’ve done it. We’re cooking up with more feature requests
… add option to change background for groups as well?
Thank you.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Thank you @sbrajesh. Just tested it and it’s working as advertised, cool.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

It’s because the number of words/characters in the excerpts are not the same. Since you’re using a child theme of premium Genesis theme, I suggest that you get the free support included in your purchase of the theme/child theme and inquire about how to increase/decrease number of words/characters in the featured excerpts. While you’re there, might as well get find limits for the title for featured articles as well since there could be times where your post title would be longer than one line.

An alternative would be as simple as making changes to your stylesheet to set the height of the featured article containers so assuming you’ve got the same number of articles on the left as well as on the right, all will be leveled to same height. In your case, add something like this to your child theme’s stylesheet:

`#content .featuredpost .post {
height: 150px;
position: relative;
}`

`#content .featuredpost .post a.more-link {
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
right: 5px;
}`

Adjust height of `#content .featuredpost .post` to taste.

EDIT – @hnla, here I go again, took too much time to answer the question

@pcwriter ‘s https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

@BlueInkAlchemist – I would download a copy of BuddyPress and then manually re-upload files via FTP or cpanel, etc. Only activate BP and with the bp-default theme, check if yoursite.com/register goes to default BP registration page.

If you mean reinstalling WP from scratch, then information in DB will not be preserved unless you back up DB and save to your computer.

Did you by any chance, install WP manually or did you install WP via webhost script like fantastico or simplescripts, etc? Those webhost scripts have been the bane of some WP installs which have problems or cannot upgrade to multisite or which get major hiccups making BuddyPress work in their install. In that case, then I would definitely reinstall from scratch and check out the tables I can import from the DB backup I made from previous installation.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Glad you resolved it with a new theme

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

There’s supposed to be a “Save Settings” link/button after you edit profile. If you’re using the bp-default theme, you should see the button. If you don’t see one, contact theme author.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Image file type = what kind of image file type are they uploading? Accepted image file types include .jpg, gif, png

Image file size = how large are the image files? Default maximum file upload size is 2MB. I know of some members who tried to upload images from their digital cameras which were way too big.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

It could most probably be a theme issue. Change theme to bp-default theme and see if your blogs directory shows up.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Post what’s currently in your .htaccess file here. Are you on Linux or Windows hosting?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Did you add a plugin or change theme before you “lost” the group? Deactivate those. Did you or someone change group to hidden?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Ok, correcting my previous assumption – it’s been a long day sorry. So you have a single WP installation with BP activated. Prior to installing BP, you had this PHP signup form which worked in your WP installation. You’ve deleted the PHP signup form and the BP registration form does not show up when you go to http://yoursite.com/register

To troubleshoot whether it’s a BP issue, given above conditions, deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme. I assume that you haven’t changed any internal BP configuration like renaming register to something else, go to http://yoursite.com/register. If that works, then ..

Are you using a WP theme with BP Template Pack plugin for compatibility? Activate both and check registration. If that works, then ..

Activate other plugins one by one to identify which one is messing up with registration page.

== I remover the sidebar of these pages and would like to make the content area less cramped but not sure how to do this without editing the style sheet and changing the look of my entire site ==

Just to clarify, you mentioned that you deleted the sidebar from the template files of the profile pages, which template files did you edit?

Re editing stylesheet – you would need to add change in style for only those pages. Using firebug, you can ID the profile pages and use the body.class selector to expand width of content are for the pages you want to implement changes on.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

All this should be posted over at plugin’s forums which devs check out regularly
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

If you want it totally separate, then install first WP at domain root – http://yoursite.com. Create a second WP install at say, a physical subdomain – http://community.yoursite.com/ – using same database but different prefix for tables and install BuddyPress there.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

== why I do not have the option of Blogs in my component setup ==

Because you need to make it multisite first i.e. create a network https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

1. Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress

2. Create the network – if you hit some snags, support forum is at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

3. Before installing BP – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/
