== hanging the name of the Register page in wp-config.php ==

@falcott that’s no longer needed with this version.

1. Delete the code to change register name in wp-config.php
2. Create a new page with the name/slug of the register page e.g. Join
3. Go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages and look for the “Register” line and choose the Join page in select dropdown and save.
4. Go to yoursite.com/join to check.

@shawn38 – as @karmatosed and I have pointed out, you won’t be able to make the Corporate Theme ‘responsive’ just by setting a percentage width for the outer wrapper.

It will probably take a lot of work, and just for starters you’ll have to consider the knock on effect of changing the outer container to a percentage width on all the elements it contains. Do they have fixed widths, margins, etc, etc. specified, how will floating elements react, and so on.

Go to your dashboard and search under settings for the box that says “anyone can register.” Check it and your good to go!

@free3dart You need to fix alignment of the template files to match your theme’s HTML structure. Let;s give it a try … Open up your balance theme’s header.php, copy all code, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the them for balance theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php.

Hi @shawn38, I showed you the div that you can interact with to change the width. I saw this looking at your site in Firebug and examining the wrapper about your container.

`#wrapper {
font-size: 0.6875em;
margin: 0px auto;
width: 1000px;
}`

But, as @rogercoathup just making that 100% isn’t what making your theme responsive means. If you want to do that you have to look at how it looks on a range of devices and change things using media queries (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/) for instance.

@ryanhellyer thanks for sharing your new plugin here. Changed title of your post so others won’t think it’s another request for help to combat spam but rather a solution to destroy spam

I’ve not tried it myself but you could try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

Hi Ashley, welcome to using BuddyPress There are some good getting started guides right on this site in the codex.

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/

If you look to the right side where it says sub pages you can work through each of those.
Hopefully that will at least get you on track.

@megainfo, what a lovely site you have. by the way how do you manage to have a custom registration form? i really really like it.

Regards

This MIGHT work.

Get the blog id of the blog you want buddypress to be on say for example the blog id is 2

Put
`define (‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2);`

in wp-config.php before /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Buddypress will still be configured in wp-admin/network but should operate on blog 2.

You can then configure the main blog any which way you want with links to the ” community ” blog or whatever.

@alexcurrie123 I was going to check out that link posted in first post and I got a big Warning using Chrome that your site contains malware. Your site was clean the first time I checked it out. Please address this issue first.

Just to add to that reading list would be http://www.abookapart.com/products/mobile-first/. BuddyPress default itself is to a point responsive now (but not mobile first). The theme you mention Shawn38 isn’t and therefore will if you want not just a 100% width but a proper ‘responding to devices’ probably cause some issues.

Responsive web design (as it’s known) is a major subject area — basic fluid designs are one approach (percentage widths and so on, and will help with your white space concern), but it’s a much richer field than just that.

Check out a book such as: http://www.abookapart.com/products/responsive-web-design/

You can also look at some of the responsive ‘frameworks’ as a base for your site – twitter’s bootstrap, zurb’s foundation, or Andy Clarke’s 320 and up.

You’ll also find plenty of responsive themes for WordPress (2011 included), that can be enhanced to support BuddyPress.

@blixus the styling is not coming from BuddyPress. Download Firebug, a Firefox add-on to identify the styles associated with the Avatar i.e., img.avatar in your stylesheet and make revisions as needed.

Seems like maybe a more open approach to the documentation is in order? Like a mediawiki or something like that? I could be wrong; just a feeling.
