Well, I have created the bp-custom.php file, added the code they suggested, uploaded … and nada. So, I am likely missing something obvious. How does the page know to even ‘look’ at the bp-custom.php file? Also, the trick suggested works for groups … how would / could this be altered to work on the profile?
@marco I can’t even FIND that code anywhere in my files. So I can’t insert your sample. @hnla The link you provided no longer goes anywhere. Would you please offer me your approach?
@zkwc Thanks. Checked it out. The suggestion of editing the bp-custom.php file is interesting fix for the forum tab in groups but I can’t FIND the bp-custom.php file anywhere.
@sevenos … Is the system not sending? or are people not receiving? I had to put a warning message in the registration form to remind folks to check their junk/spam folders because 99% of all “missing” activation emails go there.
Oh. Pooh. Just when I thought I had my site settled. hahaha. Maybe i’ll give myself a week to get up the courage to update Citizen Kane. BTW I “borrowed” the code that puts the login into the sidebar into my first Woo Themes to BP theme conversion and it ALMOST works perfectly.
That was it!! Thank you.
One little tweak I can’t quite figure out … the login “widget” and the dynamic widgets following are crammed right against each other. Obviously, there’s a minor code I have missed relating to the css. I’m thinking I’ll cheat and just enter some spaces in the sidebar.php like `
So the instructions for “automatic conversion” aren’t very thorough cuz I keep discovering pages not listed that need to be manually converted. Registration and activation pages etc.
But here’s a different ? regarding customization. I am trying to get the member profile/login section into the sidebar. http://xtreme.transmutationsciences.com/activity and I have copied some code from another theme and have gotten that section in there. However, as you can see, the subsequent widgets aren’t cooperating and acting as if the login box was right justified.
The original sidebar was:
`
`
The significant item in the other theme’s code is “
When I copied the new sidebar I originally kept their version of the sidebar hook. But the section did not display. When I substituted “ the section displayed but then I have the alignment problem.
Can anyone diagnose my ineptitude?
Full sidebar code from the theme I an borrowing the code from.

@pcwriter … Actually, the post may be old, but I just posted the other day … so thanks for your fast response! And, yes, @mercime is correct – we now learn more and can use the plugin more effectively.
I have an even more basic problem at the moment … I can’t get the registration page to work.
Every time you click on it you get redirected to the home page. Have I simply missed something in the configuration? Sample at xtreme.transmutationsciences.com
So, I am using WishList Member which is a fantastic membership management plugin for WordPress. It’s been working wonderfully for my online course; but being a recent BP convert and seeing a cool BP plugin, ScholarPress, I thought I’d convert the site to a WP/BP site with the added functions in BP.
I’m not certain how the heck I can get the two to work together. Any ideas? Other than moving to this S2 plugin?
@arezki … so … does this plugin block attempts to sign up? How does it determine if something should be blocked? I looked at the plugin file on WP.org and it isn’t very specific. I can go into my server cpanel and block IPs all day long and I still get tons of spambots. I get user activation keys and blog setups with out a spambot actually doing the compelte process. grrrr.
me. I think its confusing that when you are viewing the activity stream you see a name. if you want to do an @ in a reply, you have to go to the person’s profile to find their @name and then back to where you were to leave the reply/comment. Anyway ideas to work a way around this without a huge mess? Like maybe a little script/code so a tool tip pops up with the @name?
It may also be the perennial problem of them simply not RECEIVING the activation email. Be certain to mention to people registering to check their junkmail folder if they do not receive the activation email within a few hours.
Just for anyone’s edification I realized I can block IPs from accessing the site at the server level. My server uses cpanel and there’s a function called IP Deny Manager. Since the plugin “User Activation Keys” lists the IPs of everyone attempting* to join I can easily see the most offending IP addresses – and so far I have blocked 6 – the amount of spambot signups is waaaay down. Yes. The risk is that there are REAL people who are on this server who would probably like to use my site but are now blocked from even seeing it.
* I am also using the plugin “Registration Options”
I checked and no links work so I’m assuming you haven’t made the pages yet? I don’t see anything “broken” .. I do see that your two top widgets in the sidebar are not wide enough for the content. That means adjusting the width of your sidebar or adjust the width of what’s inside.
