@djpaul

I’ve been working on this over here http://tempsg.com/

I was doing it with a if ( is_nav_menu( ‘BuddyPress’ ) )
show menu
else
show the hard coded links

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 11 months ago]

What abut using one of the member roles plugins? Then adding a code to a members profile that shows a check if they are verified or added to a certain role?

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 11 months ago]

I think they want the main tabs to have drop downs. Search https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=drop+down+menu&sort=

There are a bunch but the problem is they won’t match the BP default style. You’ll have to add the code to call the wp custom nav and delete the hard coded BP nav.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 11 months ago]

I posted about it awhile back This happened on another theme and I added the page.php file but it should be in the default. I forgot about the issue until I just updated a child theme and they rejected again. The last time it happened it took 6 weeks to get the theme finally approved. I guess they were backed up reviewing themes. I may stop using the repo. It takes too long to fix minor things. Why do they have to review themes but not plugins? Never understood this.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 11 months ago]

The page.php file for the default theme is missing

comments_template();

So theme reviewers are rejecting BP child themes because they test a page and the comments are not showing. I’m not sure why now after months they have decided to reject any new themes due to this but it’s happening to themes already in the repo that i’m trying to fix.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 11 months ago]

If your columns are not equal height then the separator will never match unless you use images that span the height of the page. The tags issue is the tags plugin issue. I do not test themes for every plugin. If you use plugins and things go wonky you will need to edit to fix them. Those tags are coded to fit a full width page. You’ll have to mess with the css to fix it. Look at the css for the search box and you’ll see it’s saying -37px try changing that to 0px.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

Is that slider on every page or just when you are logged out? If it’s every page I’d fix it so it’s just home page when you are logged out.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

As soon as I get a chance I’ll fix the column issue but you need to give me more info on what browser and version you are using.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

No, but you could recreate it as a child theme.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

you either need to remove the code or hide it with CSS either way it’s best to create a simple child theme. If you choose CSS, the easiest way, find the id for it and give it a display:none;

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

typo I think it was 15 per page

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

There are 4200 pages of members with 20 per page making that 63K members on Tasty Kitchen.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

Tell the developer of the plugins so they can check.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

You can add the login form to one of the columns after

<div id="third-section" class="widget">


login code:

            </a>

            <h4><?php echo bp_core_get_userlink( bp_loggedin_user_id() ); ?></h4>

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

I think those blog avatars should be removed permanently. Really unnecessary from a UI / UX stand point. It’s just clutter.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 12 months ago]

What you are asking sounds like you are referring to WP pages. If you want to change the default theme then you need to create a child theme and then copy over the file you want to change from bp-default into you child themes folder keeping folder structure intact

[@modemlooper Moderator 16 years ago]

That child theme should be ok with 1.2.6 it’s just a couple page templates.

[@modemlooper Moderator 16 years ago]

https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

[@modemlooper Moderator 16 years ago]

In members/members-loop.php

remove

<?php bp_member_add_friend_button() ?>


[@modemlooper Moderator 16 years ago]

I’ll be updating. remove: from buddypress-mobile/themes/default/ members/members-loop.php

<?php bp_member_add_friend_button() ?>


[@modemlooper Moderator 16 years ago]

Maybe I’ll take a crack at one. I need to learn more.

[@modemlooper Moderator 16 years ago]

Do not edit the theme files from the folder bp-default. you need to create a child theme first. This way you won’t mess up your installation and can upgrade.

[@modemlooper Moderator 16 years ago]

switch out the image file in the theme folder. I think it’s logo.png

[@modemlooper Moderator 16 years ago]
