@seocostarica Check out EventPress – http://gsoc2010.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/eventpress/
the bp-events plugin is good to BP 1.1.3 only. Here’s another BP 1.2 compatible Events plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-event-system-for-buddypress/As @Modemlooper wrote, h-mag.com events is a customized system per creator
– Backup database and server files regularly, especially before any BuddyPress or WordPress upgrade
– Set up and maintain test installation/s which mirror/s live site/s. That’s where I check out all plugins and upgrades first before installing in live site. No rush to upgrade BP or WP install unless it’s a security release. Still, better to test first.
– Check out WordPress and BuddyPress forums for red flags re upgrades, plugins, etc.In reply to: Custom Profile Pagehttps://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile.php where you can see calls to different parts of profile page lines 13, 16, 19
Line#19 – https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/profile-loop.phpYou can change style in either 3 ways: a) tweak css only; b) customize BP files; and c) tweak css and customize files. Tweaking CSS is the easiest way. Customizing php file is more intensive. Install Firebug add-on for Firefox to help you find hooks to change layout/colours via CSS.
In reply to: Groups vs Roles vs Custom Profile Fields@nettantra thank you. Will be checking it out.
In reply to: Can somebody test this share button in IE?Hi @modemlooper tested http://tempsg.com/activity/ in IE6 as well and the dropdown works well and the pop-ups show up quarter of the browser on top left of screen. The share button is styled in activity but there is no visible styling for share button in forum topic in IE6. Otherwise, looking good.
Did you change permalink settings to other than default? If that doesn’t work, change theme to bp-default theme.
In reply to: Can’t Install BP on New Site. Complete shutdown.Here are some possible solutions
In reply to: user registrationDid you allow user registration at least in Site/Super Admin > Options?
In reply to: GivingSports.com@crashutah – Congratulations and good luck with your ventures. btw, that’s a cool action shot with the frisbee. Question, what has BrainTree got that others don’t?

Looking into it further, I decided to uninstall WP Super Cache, and my FF showed the revisions as well. Installed WP Super Cache back and it has not happened again since.
Or, it might be the new code you added is not rendering as you expected – but if you’re not seeing the surrounding divs that you might might have added in source like you say, then it could just be a browser thing.
In reply to: Group Calendar PluginIn reply to: Global forum problem.Carrying over from other thread, @markhahnel these things come to mind:
1. Global Forums 1.0.2 is compatible with BP 1.2.5+ above.
There were same errors on mysql_get_server_info() when someone installed Global Forums with WP 3.0.1 and BP 1.2.3 and errors went away when they upgraded to 1.2.5.22. Reupload plugin’s /gf/ theme folder to your active theme and reupload global forums plugin to wp-content/plugins
3. Backup database and re-install bbPress via dashboard > BuddyPress > Forums Settings – you shouldn’t lose previous topics but it’s better to backup DB. Might
4. Upload /gf/ folder to bp-default theme, then change your theme to bp-default theme and see if the same behavior continues with the Global Forums single topic page.
@markhahnel although @sbrajesh is not at the BuddyDev forums at times because of health issues, you should post there because there are other devs who might be able to help you.
In reply to: ANy ideas on this error message?@rogercoathup it’s the same error @markhahnel posted in this thread where I advised him to go to plugin dev’s forums
In reply to: BP Help“I have a custom theme that was built for me “
Change theme to bp-default theme, the custom theme might be causing the errors so contact theme author.“update my bp to the current version”
Go to dashboard – Plugins > Installed. Look for BuddyPress link in list – you will see link to update the plugin automatically.
EDIT- backup database plus server files before upgrading BP. Just checked your site and noticed that your theme is using BP 1.1.3 theme … unless the theme author made it work with BP 1.2+ but forgot to change the info in style.css which is kind far-fetched.In reply to: Problem with bp_has_activitiesIf you paste the “block of code” you added in the head at buddypress.pastebin.com, it will be made clear
In reply to: Global forum problem.@markhahnel – you should ask @sbrajesh at BuddydDev.com forums where he’s active in responding to questions about his plugins.
In reply to: Sidebar pushed down on group forum pageThere is a link to support forums for your suffusion buddypress pack theme at end of the post – http://www.aquoid.com/news/plugins/suffusion-buddypress-pack/
Also,
$blogs = get_last_updated(‘ ‘, 0, 5);
for the 5 latest updated blogsWell done @rogercoathup, that would be a cool presentation. I’m liking the buddy sending a few ‘helpful’ messages, lol.
In reply to: Show: By Latest Post | By Group@LPH2005 – I haven’t seen code released to public, but seen it done by:
@apeatling for https://buddypress.org/support/topics/grouped/
@deanjrobinson for http://help.deanjrobinson.com/ notice that his groups are categorized as well.
Per Dean – “a custom forum loop inside a custom groups loop.”@rainer511 – you seem to have this resolved already. I logged in with your test/test and posted in “my” activity area.

In reply to: Super Admin named ‘wp-admin’ – can’t view profile– login to your phpMyAdmin
– choose database where your WP/BP site is installed
– find and click on yourprefix_users to open
– scroll down to field user_login under field ID 1 (that’s you) and change to another username
– click on save and close phpMyAdmin– you could change password at the same time, but it has extra steps seen here
