Thanks for that link Jeff. Good to know. I have to agree that the first time I saw “Blog” and “Blogs” in the navigation… I was confused. I’m sure that many users would continue to be confused for some time. So maybe “News” and “Blogs” or whatever would be a good option for some sites. Neat that it’s so easy to change this via the wp-config file.
Now if I could just solve my problem of renaming / unregistering buddypress’ sidebars (without hacking the parent)
Ha
BTW… 2 seconds of searching on Google and I found a plugin to allow users to use their email address to login. I’m going to be plugging that in for sure. One less thing for users to have to remember and bug me about.
Exactly Andy. That’s my issue. Hacking the parent function.php file is easy. But I don’t want to do that. So I created a function.php file in my child theme but the unregister_sidebar() function doesn’t seem to work
I suspect this is a WPMU thing… not a BuddyPress thing. Here is the code I added to function.php in my child theme. Should work. Doesn’t. I’m at bit of a loss. I tried adding different priority levels to add_action() and they had no effect.<?php
function remove_sidebar() {
unregister_sidebar('third-section');
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_sidebar');
?>p.s. https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/unregister_sidebar
On a similar note… I wanted to remove one of the sidebars from the widget admin area since I won’t be using them all in my child template. I tried this but it did not work
Spent a few hours researching and trying different things (including every possibly priority setting). No dice. I eventually gave up and hacked function file of the parent theme.function remove_sidebar() {
unregister_sidebar('third-section');
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_sidebar');I’m my case… I’ve simply decided in home.php to wrap the “first-section” widgets with logic that will show that widget section only to logged in users… otherwise it is replaced with a positioning statement + calls to action (i.e. Join! Donate! Learn!) and a wordpress loop. Pretty simple stuff:
<?php if (!is_user_logged_in()) { ?>
[static content & wordpress loop for the public]
<?php } else { ?>
<?php if(!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')||!dynamic_sidebar('first-section'))
>
[widgets for members only (i.e. site activity) ]
<?php endif; } ?>Where is the “restore from backup” button? LOL
From the post above mine “The biggest part that is not included with the current port is the directory view, since that was still in flux when I started porting so I left it till matured.”
Basically it sounds like Erwin will be taking over again to finish it up for BuddyPress 1.1. So we just have to be patient
I’m sure it will be worth the wait.
