BuddyPress.org

@jenread more likely you need to update BuddyVents. Contact developer.

How or where are you cropping @David?

Hey @Ben,

If you have never tried or seen this trick in Firefox — hit CTRL+SHIFT+i

You’ll go into inspect mode and there you can hover over block elements on the page and see the exact ID’s and Classes for your styles.

You can then use your theme’d style sheet to control styles by tagging “!important” (which you seem to be doing). It just might be that you are not capturing the right ID’s and Classes.

@rodtrent for EM dev https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=1.6.1

No prob Cal ( @mastermind12). Just remember to store the code below away because you will need to reapply it the next time, and every time, you upgrade BuddyPress. Once you have your own theme, you can put this in a style sheet called `style.css` in your themes directory and you will always hide the “bubble”.

`/* removes the activity bubble from buddypress */
ul#members-list span.activity {
display:none !important;
}`

No @mastermind12 — those 2 style sheet (.css) files are not coming into play on your Member’s Directory page.

Paste it to the bottom of `/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css` although you will need to repeat this paste each and every time you upgrade the BuddyPress plugin.

To clarify my post above, I do not have buddypress showing in the toolbar on the left under settings on the subdomain and when i network activate it, do not see profile fields…

i have declared the root blog as advised…

You’ll want to start here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

It’s quite powerful and I’ve used it to do the kind of expansion you describe.

I have the same problem! Installed BP 1.6.1 within WordPress 3.4.1 Multisite, subdomain setup; activated on network first, ran setup wizard…then deactived on network and activated on root blog id=3 (subdomain i want it on)…went to subdomain and activated it just there….no settings show up in toolbar and uder settings I get “you do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”.

also, during running the setup wizard, i get no buddypress on left menu — so i cannot access components to set up some custom fields…

please help!!!
am dead in the water like shaneholloman…

I had similar issues with a plugin I developed – all fixed now. Your best contacting plugin developers as there do seem to be a few significant changes to core in 1.6.

Blank pages are often due to a plugin/theme throwing an error. The plugin maybe using stuff that’s changed (especially if accessing data structures like the $bp object directly) and is simply throwing an error. Use WordPress in debug mode and check the log file.

@frank13 That is correct. I have 2 installs of BP 1.6.1 on my localhost and I have not had any issues but these are also clean installs.

Ok @mastermind12. Then the css I gave you should work.

Can you post back the exact file you added the code too including its path.

Can you also post back a copy of what you added please.

It will help me/us properly troubleshoot.

Actually that is standard for buddypress 1.5.6. It does have the field description box in the name field in the latest and greatest version though!

@mastermind12

If you are referring too the activity bubble on the Members Directory page, then do this:

add the following line of code to the `style.css` document in your themes directory:

`ul#members-list span.activity {
display:none !important;
}`

if you are referring too a different activity bubble, then let us know which one exactly.

You could create an empty text file called /wp-content/plugins/walled-garden.php, paste the following into it, then activate the plugin:
`
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Buddypress Walled Garden
Plugin URI: http://www.example.com/
Description: A brief description of the Plugin.
Version: 0.1
Author: http://www.example.com/
Author URI: http://www.example.com/
License: A “Slug” license name e.g. GPL2
*/

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

// if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )

bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}

add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘groups_action_group_feed’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);

?>`
Tested in bp 1.6.1

The plugin should not have spaces, blank lines, or anything else before “ and use a simple text editor ( like this ) rather than a wordprocessor….

To have a different menu for logged in users is slightly more complicated.

You need to find the template bit that shows the menu.

In the current bp-default theme header.php file is the following
`
false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) ); ?>
`
which can be replaced by
`
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
}
?>
`
Then create the secondary menu in the wordpress menu admin…..

Please backup files and database before trying this out in case there are complications. It would be better to try out on a test/dev site first …..
