BuddyPress.org

Hej Ikey, as you have heavily customised this area of the site – redirecting to login if not a member in the members directory – I suspect the problem is in your customisation / redirect logic, and not a BuddyPress bug. You’d need to post a lot more information for someone to assist on this […]

@mikey3D Yes, sorry – I only checked a multi-word post title. You are correct, categories and tag page titles are behaving differently in default BuddyPress vs. default WordPress install The function that builds the title in BuddyPress is bp_page_title(). In WordPress it’s wp_title() The WP function is doing a lot more work with the category and…[Read more]

You’ll need to create your own theme and modify the header.php file. Theme design needs PHP, HTML and CSS skills. If you’ve got those, you are flying! Check in support.. Documentation for the article on child themes. If you are not competent building your own theme and editing the php file, you might be able […]

@mikey3D – there is something wrong in your set up. The default installation/theme shows the title tag with spaces between the words.

Are you using the default theme unmodified? Have you got any additional plugins running?

Switch to default theme, disable all plugins and let us know if the title tags now have spaces

This is a simple thing to achieve with just a little custom theming. It’s also highly theme specific (if, where, when, how big, etc, you want adverts), and not something I’d expect in a default setup. If you want a simple plugin solution, there are lots of off the shelf basic plugins in WordPress that […]

@guigoz – this thread has some suggestions: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/mentions-is-confusing-to-members/

@rgauny – same issue as you. Client finds @mentions confusing and wants them removed.

Did you work out a solution? Did the suggestions from @nuprn1 do the job?

@pgayed: please see this thread which gives the solution: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/customizing-buddypress-profile-page-default-tab-and-item-nav-order

@jabberjazz – not an answer to your current problem, but if you are just starting a project with forums, I’d consider waiting a few weeks for the new approach to forums: https://buddypress.org/2010/08/buddypress-and-bbpress-the-future/

@davidniyat – you can’t just cut and paste sections from the default theme if they rely on functions that are defined elsewhere in the theme. It’s designed to be use a parent theme. The bp_dtheme functionality is embedded / used in various places in the theme. In particular, you need to take a look at the functions.php […]

1. Does it work with the default BuddyPress theme bp-default?

2. Are your permalinks working – try changing them to a custom setting such as /%category%/%postname%/ – do you receive any error messages about .htaccess?

You could try this function: bp_is_profile_component()

These type of functions are in bp-core-templatetags.php

@computerjoe – whilst it pains me to do anything to assist those destroyers of the country and democracy ;), here’s a link to the fix for the page title problem:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/page-title-in-bp/

Which theme are you using?

Do the posts appear correctly with BP deactivated?

@boniu –

Have you set your WP up for multisite, and tested custom permalinks (e.g. /%category%/%postname%/) ? If they are functioning ok, then your .htaccess / mod_rewrite is probably fine.

Also, can you create secondary blogs without problem?

Now try using the automatic install for BuddyPress, and let us know how that goes

@tedmann – and changed the default text on the register page?

@footybible Yes, good spot by @govpatel Of course, that file is not going to be BuddyPress aware, so won’t know about BP_REGISTER_SLUG It’s not really a good choice for the registration / login screen for a BP site. If you are stuck working with that, rather than the standard BP login area, then you will have to […]

@johnjamesjacoby – What are you thoughts on changing: bp_blogs_record_activity( ) to make use of the featured image if one has been set for the post, rather than trawling the content and thumbnailing images?
