Have you made your changes in the wp-config.php file?

As I said, post your header.php file

@sebastian1

I believe our client fixed the problem:

I think there may be a problem with the original English text in the .po file – I don’t think it matches correctly with the string in the php files – so doesn’t get translated.

You might want to investigate that.

Have a look at this page:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/bloginfo

you want bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) instead of TEMPLATEPATH

If you are not familiar with building child themes in WordPress / BuddyPress – you should read this page before beginning:

https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Where do you want to write the code – is it in a file in your child theme? If the files are in the same directory, e.g. in your child theme folder, use something like: locate_template( array( ‘myfile.php’ ), true ) It sounds though as though you are wanting to modify code in bp-default. You shouldn’t […]

Before doing that – disable all your plugins back to just base WordPress

Can you post again now without problem?

If you can post ok, add your plugins back one at a time, testing until you find the one causing the problem.

Does this article apply to your table markup problem: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/749896

Firefox is absolutely fine with tables – if FireBug tells you there’s a problem in your table markup, there probably is! It maybe that Firefox has a different set of browser defaults for tables that threw your alignment / sizes out, but I don’t think that is likely. It’s also possible that your markup was […]

it’s almost certainly a problem with your setup, and nothing to do with the core BuddyPress code. As I suggested, check your bp-custom.php file first of all – it goes in the /plugins folder – did your developer put any functions in there that modify the behaviour of your site? p.s. are you sure you […]

@bojanski hide_sitewide is a boolean, and in this line is being used to test whether an activity item has been marked as hidden or not – (it’s not a count @tom_taylor_85) You should NOT be modifying the code there – that’s a core file, and you’ll run into problems when you upgrade if you’ve modified them. You’ve […]

Steffy, couple of thoughts – Is your base WP install working correctly – does it send admin emails notification correctly (e.g. when a new user is added in WP backend)? If not, it is a base email configuration problem. Have you got any additional plugins installed – one of our clients had a problem with […]

No, not changing the core… Hooking functions / filters on to core actions. You would normally add these in your bp-custom.php or functions.php file. Check under documentation on this site for an intro to adding hook functions

“activity private” – was just a general thought if you’d added a plugin or other custom code. As I said before, without detailed info about your configuration, and your theme – it’s going to be difficult for anyone to help you on this one. Does it only affect one user, or more than one? Can […]

Probably best is to create a custom post type for the photos in your main blog.

Then add a bespoke front end form to let users upload photos (as new posts) in your main blog.

You can then use built in WP commenting, and off the shelf plugins for ratings and social sharing

@whitbyglennk – remember to search before posting – this thread has a comprehensive list of ideas for tackling spam:

@tom_taylor_85 –

Please post details of your fix, in case anyone else comes across a similar problem

@rossagrant – drop me a line via http://21inspired.com if you’d like us to quote on the work

Alternatively, you might be able to pick up a freelance developer via the job board on this site

There’s no off the shelf plugin for this, but it is possible to develop a solution (a lot more than a workaround!): You could either do this by having a profile type for businesses, or developing a solution around custom posts / custom fields. You’ll then have to build your own custom listing directory – […]
