Ok, I figured it out and thought I would share in case anyone else ever needs it.

What I did was replace:

with:
http://pastebin.com/jXVVqE6W

I also removed the padder div. This will not display the blog title. You will have to add it in.

Hope this helps!

@mercime Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t think it’s exactly what I’m looking for.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Is there something I could do with BP_DTHEME_CUSTOM_HEADER?

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

This code is hooking into: the_author and get_the_author_display_name

It looks like buddypress uses: bp_core_get_userlink

Anyone know how to use bp_core_get_userlink in the code above?

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 8 months ago]

@mercime I am using a child theme of the bp-default theme, so it could be something I have done. I just can’t think of what I could of done that would be the cause. I am hosted through Hostgator on their baby plan and am using the most recent versions of both WP and Buddypress. Here is a link: http://shoutkey.com/windmill

@ Wp Master I wish I could hep you, but I do not know much about code.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 8 months ago]

There is this plugin, but I haven’t tried it yet:

BuddyPress Live Notification

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@modemlooper any news on this? I just switched one of my groups from private to public and lost all of its content.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Anyone interested in making one? 🙂 I could really use one.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

I did find this one: Tagged User Notification It seems to be working so far.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@intimez Definitely a disappointment. Do you know of any plugins to accomplish this? I was unable to find any.

Or is anyone interested in a making a plugin for this?

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@djpaul Do you know if there is any more news on this? Looks like the tracker was reopened about a year ago. It would be great to add notifications for @mentions in blog posts as well.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@nahummadrid Did you ever find an answer to this? I am also looking for this. And it seems like the BP notifications doesn’t pickup on @mentions in blog posts and comments.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Looking to do something similar, but I’m using the buddypress follow me plugin. I would like to display the “follow” button on my childsite’s sidebar.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Seems like I almost got everything back to normal. The only one I can’t seem to reset is the favorites tab.

Any ideas?

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Thank you! I was able to find them late last night. Just silly mistake on my part.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@mercime Thank you!

I went to domain.com/blogs/site-tracking and found the button there!

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@mercime Maybe I am totally lost here, but I am guessing my blogs directory page is my main install page? I am running multisite and need my users to be able to create a blog after they register because my registration process is done through a different forum software.

I installed wordpress multisite into domain.com/blogs. I then installed buddypress and activated it. So, is my blog directory page domain.com/blogs? If so, I still do not see a button.

Thanks for the help.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@ubernaut Where I would I find this button? Is it a widget? I do not see any button anywhere on my page.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@masonjames I am having this same problem, but my link contains /blogs/

http://domain.com/blogs/create/

This link still does not work and takes me to a “page not found”

Any more info on this?

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@Alexander Did you ever find the create blog link? I am running into the same situation as you. I need users to be able to create a blog after registration.

I did find a link in the dashboard under ” my sites” that says “create a new site” but the link is dead. It brings me to a “page not found”.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

After poking around at the follow me plugin I was able to hardcode avatars and a follow button into my sidebar.

View post on imgur.com

But, I cannot get the correct URL to “follow” or for the button to switch to “unfollow” once you are already following that member.

Any ideas on how to get these working?

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

I disabled `define( \’BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG\’, true );` and everything seems to be working now.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks @valuser. The code seems to take me back to the main blog on the multisite, not the actual users blog, but I think this is close!

Wish I was ok with PHP so I could mess around with the code to see if I could get it to work.

[@myladeybugg Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks Chouf1! I was using buddypress followers. I have now uninstalled it and installed buddypress follow me. I see there is a widget for users I am following, but I am looking for one that just displaying the avatar of the user and the “follow” button. This way you don’t have to go into the users profile to follow. It makes it simple and easy for someone to follow someone else.

Looks like I may need a custom widget?
