It should be, otherwise you won’t have seen the member Pages
– plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/member-header.php

Copy member-header.php to your child theme following the structure yourchildtheme/members/single/member-header.php and make the change there. If you make a change in bp-default parent theme, the change will be overriden when you upgrade BuddyPress

@dwenaus posted a styling work-around a while ago, of course up to a certain extent only … till trac ticket gets addressed
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-calm-down-comment-nesting/
adjust according to taste …

URL of site with example of “good basic footer”?

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@grosbouff There is the BP Followers Plugin by @apeatling for your reference

One difference between Friends and Followers is that Friends is in core while Followers feature needs the plugin to be activated.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-messages-for-followers-only/

The other difference is Followers is ala Twitter following. The “follower” doesn’t need to be approved by the one he follows. While for “Friends” to connect completely friendship request must be approved by the other party.

Multiple accounts using one email address is more of a WordPress thing, and it’s not natively supported. There’s a WP plugin that did that https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-multiple-accounts/ in WP 2.9.2 but reported broken for WP 3.0.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Add to your theme’s style.css
div#item-header span.activity { display: none; }
This will also hide same in Group’s pages

Edit – ok @hnla that was fast

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Hi Anton, no you didn’t miss something, I did … missed the limit “topic” in post because of title “Forum create only available to certain members”
Change line 38 in https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/group-header.php from
if ( bp_is_group_forum() && is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_group_forum_topic() ) :
to
if ( bp_is_group_forum() && current_user_can(‘level_7’) && !bp_is_group_forum_topic() ) :

I was thinking that with @nuprn1‘s plugin activated, one can also use a conditional to target group admin and group mod specifically

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@Anton
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ requires PHP 5.2
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-management/ for extra controls

“Now, it simply goes to the top center and is written over by all of the other page”
Increase padding-top of #container to 145px – so that there’s at least 20px space between header image and content

You’re welcome

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

“so something I installed must have done it, if not BP “
I assure you, definitely not BP

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Add no-repeat and !important at end of background

#container {
padding-top: 100px;
background: #CEDAF4 url(http://musicpln.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/HEADERprint.jpg) top center no-repeat !important; }

P.S. Are you sure you want to have a colored background for print.css or white instead as in #ffffff ?

“Is BuddyPress the right foundation on which to create this site?”
Yes it is. Some features you mentioned are already covered out of the box. Some features would have to be expanded on by your programmer.

1. Could you check your server if the header image you wanted is indeed at in http://musicpln.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/HEADERprint.jpg)
2. If URL path to image is correct, then add opening and closing apostrophe to background image url – I missed adding those, so url(‘http://musicpln.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/HEADERprint.jpg&#8217😉
3. If that won’t work, I need site URL.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

From your Groups Admin Page, allow/enable Forums in that group. Basically, BP Forums are Group discussion threads. Each Group has a Forum and the Forums directory page shows the list of all public topics

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Use Jet QuickPress in main blog – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-quickpress/screenshots/
You’ll see that there are areas to input tags, categories and dropdown of which blog/s you want to post to.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@pisanojm disclaimer first – no genius In any case, per image you attached

1. Center Graphic in top center of print screen –
since #header is display: none; we could tweak #container to show the header image instead
#container { padding-top: 100px; background: #CEDAF4 url(http://musicpln.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/HEADERprint.png) top center; }

2. Remove right column and expand to full width

div#content .padder {
margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px; }

3. Remove item list

div.item-list-tabs { display: none; }

“So is that a default off MU to install in a /blog/ subdir”
No, you might have unpacked MU to the /blog/ subdir. I upload WPMU files and folders in root.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

“BP seemed to move it into /blog/ subdir.”
BuddyPress did not move anything in your installation, even If you defined BP elsewhere than main blog,

Backup database, deactivate BP and BP-dependent plugins, then go to your database and delete around 15 tables with : yourprefix_bp_componentname

If you need to move WP to root, https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress – as always, back up your database before attempting the move

You can contact @Andrea_r at http://wpmututorials.com as well

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@1stAngel @MrWiblog my bad, the version of the Secure Invites for WordPress MU working in my WP 3.0 installs is Version: 0.9.6. Strange that that version in not in the other versions page of the plugin
In any case, here’s the code of the plugin I am using. http://wordpress.pastebin.com/LD2vL9rY

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@1stAngel – I agree, it’s the one I use for by-invites-only sites, kudos to Chris Taylor.
Latest version of WPMU secure invites plugin is working in my WP 3.0 / BP 1.2.5.2 installs and mu-plugins folder fine: WPMU 2.9.2 subdomain install upgraded to WP 3.0. and WP 3.0 multisite subdomain install.

What or When do errors show, when you create mu-plugin folder and/or upload secure_invite.php file?

EDIT – @Andrea_r maybe not working for WP 3.0 single site, only for multisite?

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@nickaster “What if I want to get rid of buddypress?”
– deactivate BuddyPress and BP-dependent plugins at the same time. Then go to database and delete bp_ … tables (btw, backup database before doing this)

I haven’t encountered that issue about not being able to edit theme files at all. It would help to know the following
– what WP and BP versions are you using?
– what theme are you using?
Activate WP Default theme (in WP 2.9.2.) or The Twentyten theme (in WP 3.0) and see if you can go to Appearance > Editor and edit file.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Cool @rvenable. I know some groups who would be interested in using this plugin. Will be checking it out. Thank you.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@damian2001, change to bp-default theme, you will see the bp-admin bar across all sites like the one at http://testbp.org/
Double check dashboard – BuddyPress > General Settings > Hide admin bar for logged out users?:> should be NO

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Deactivate BuddyPress plugin by renaming its folder in server via FTP/cpanel.
