BP Codex is your friend. Disable the custom header functionality on the default BuddyPress theme … add the following to your wp-config.php file:
`define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );`

The code for the BP login form can be found from line 40 to line 52 here. Adjust divs and format to taste.

Your new settings – pretty permalinks – aren’t working even for regular pages. I’m getting a “Page Not Found” error for http://awarenessmatters.org/about/ so this is not a BuddyPress error. Apache mod_rewrite must be enabled in your server for “pretty permalinks” to work.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

– change permalinks in settings to something other than default – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration
– then change theme to bp-default theme
– configure BP Components – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

@AnindyaRay I see that you’ve found a header parallax tutorial. The thing is, since you’re on localhost, it’s not as easy to ID the exact corrections which would give you a fix for what’s there in the image you uploaded. That being said, my stab in the dark is adding the following style to your child theme’s stylesheet
`body {
max-width: change to 960px;
}`
which will override the parent theme’s max-width of 1250px

If that doesn’t work, install the Firefox add http://getfirebug.com/ to find styling fix

@luvs123 Not sure where you are in getting Arras theme compatible with BuddyPress. But you might want to look at this Arras Child theme with BuddyPress templates installed and configured – http://durkkooistra.com/brownbuddy/
You might want to style the fonts smaller in the sidebar, but that’s not a deal-breaker
Good luck.

I’m using “.html on pages” as well on one WPMS install with 280+ pages converted from HTML. Haven’t tested the plugin on WPMS with BP 1.2.6 install. Methinks that the plugin will have a better possibility come BP 1.3+

@gunju2221 yeah, I saw his post about “To Make your Topic Title Not be cut off”.

You have to override bp-default’s styling from
`table.forum {
margin: -9px -20px 20px;
width: auto;
}`
to
`table.forum {
margin: -9px 10px 20px 0px;
width: auto;
}`.

@functionmunchkin nice ones, didn’t notice them before .

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

@cshrimpt blog creation is in the province of WordPress MS, not BuddyPress. Read through the codex https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration and resolve WordPress issues before installing BuddyPress at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

http://www.woothemes.com/2010/03/cityguide/ plus BP plus BP Template Pack plus One Quick Post or something similar.

Thank you Will. Found the URL https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpckeditor/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Have you checked out BP Codex? https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

@AnindyaRay There are at least 4 overlapping images in the background. Search for “parallax jquery” and you’ll get different ways to create that effect including one for parallax in header only. The trick is making sure that it won’t conflict with WP

That’s strange, it should be in BuddyPress > General Settings panel right under “Disable global forum directory?:” What BP/WP versions are you on?

You can disable posting of updates to posts and forums in Activity Stream. Go to dashboard > BuddyPress > General Settings – click on the “yes” radio button for “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?”

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Create a child theme of bp-default theme, upload and activate. Then go to dashboard Appearance > Widgets and drag the “Recently Active Member Avatars” widget to Sidebar and save it.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

You mean the main navigation links? Create a child theme of bp-default theme, copy the header.php file into child theme, open up and revise order of forums and groups, save, then upload to server.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Yeah, BP 1.2.6 works with WP 3.0+.
If you want to test BuddyPress in your current install, go BP 1.2.4.1 – https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags – Click on download zip archive link near bottom of page

Following is a walkthrough of the Motion theme with the BP Template Pack https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/ .
Per example there, you need to copy Retromania’s HTML structure onto the 13 files within the BP folders transferred to your Retromania theme folder in server. Save revisions and upload to server. You need to copy some styling from bp-default and adjust to taste.
