OK. Ticket filed for suggested enhancement: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/3007
I’ve tried this every which way but sideways, but can’t get it working either in functions.php. Too bad, it would have made a sweet addition to the theme options.
As for reporting it; I don’t think it can be qualified as a bug. At most, an oversight. Maybe the utility of such a function hasn’t been brought to light until now?
Great tutorial @modemlooper, simple and to the point. Thanks!

Did you have something specific in mind?
Or are you just encouraging further attempts from my feeble mind?
It’s for a theme I’m developing and yes, I can put it in functions.php (he says, mouth watering in anticipation…)
In reply to: Issue with BuddyPress pages and alignmentTake a close look at the nested divs: you’ve got a #content with a #container inside, then another #content inside that. That’s likely gonna throw stuff off.
Also, check if the closing `` at the top of your file is an oversight, or if it’s required in your theme.
In reply to: Question about updating themes for BP1.3 & WP pagesHiya teach!
Definitely going to have to rethink Bp-WP-Navbar for the next update. For now though, I’m concentrating on learning some more basics to get my BP theme framework finished. You can see the support site built with it here: http://buddylite.com/

In reply to: why must there be _e() everywhere? (a newbie writes)Thanks for that.
And here I was thinking it was just ‘shorthand’ for echo()
In reply to: Where does the avatar get defined?You can set the default avatar type in your WP backend under ‘Buddypress’ > ‘General Settings’.
In reply to: Remove “Visit” from the admin barDid you check the feature options for the plugin under ‘Settings’ > ‘BP-WP-Navbar’?
It can be set to remove only the random menu, without modifying anything else.BTW, I agree that the plugin does have a long-ass-name but, as long as it does what it says it does, does it really matter?
In reply to: Converting a Theme for BP CompatibilityAh, that’s probably it. A div with an id of “sidebar-me” is not defined in your theme’s style.css.
Try changing that line back to `
`
Then wrap just the the login code in ``Should do it.
In reply to: Converting a Theme for BP CompatibilityLooking at the source of your page, the opening div is nowhere to be seen.
Did you inadvertently delete ``?In reply to: Setting up registration with buddypress and s2member@abhis2.0
Do a search of the plugin repo… there are lots of them.
There’s an Open ID plugin:

Make sure registration is enabled for your site.
For single WP install, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘General’ and check ‘Anyone can register’.
For a multisite install, go to ‘Super Admin’ > ‘Options’ and select an option at ‘Allow new registrations’.In reply to: Setting up registration with buddypress and s2memberThere is actually a rather easy way to accomplish what you want done.with s2member.
New users are redirected to the homepage upon activation of their account. Using s2member’s API/Scripting, it’s quite simple to set up a page to display different content to not-logged-in visitors and logged-in members whose subscription level=0 (free membership).
1 – Create a page and assign it to ‘Front page displays’ under ‘Settings’ > ‘Reading’. That’s your new homepage.
2 – Under ‘s2member’ > ‘API/Scripting’, go to ‘Using Simple Conditionals’ and study the example codes given. You can customize the content on your frontpage to display the PayPal buttons ONLY to registered members with a level=0. You can also set it up for incremental upgrade prompts according to the current membership level (s2member is really cool in that regard!).
3 – Under ‘s2member’ > ‘General Options > ‘Login Welcome Page’, you can redirect users to their BP profile when they login with this: http://YOUR-SITE.com/members/%%current_user_login%%/profile/Now create your register page the way you want it, and have your users sign up in the usual way. (Perhaps include some info on that page informing them that will have the opportunity to select their membership options after activating their account.) They will be redirected to your frontpage upon activation and will then see your PayPal subscription button(s) displayed prominently, all the goodies that come with paid membership, and a hearty prompt to “pay their dues”.
Hope this helps!

In reply to: Blog posts on page template… how to?Bingo! A straight copy/paste of the given example worked like a charm.
A bit of customization and voilĂ … I’m a happy camper!
Thanks
In reply to: Member Blogs localizationIn reply to: Way to disable admin bar on certain themes?The adminbar is triggered by the call to wp_footer. So make sure that call is present in your theme.
