BuddyPress.org

@neononcon it does make me wonder, now that you mention it….although i suppose its because they have more people keeping an eye open for spammers? i simply don’t have the time to keep up with all the spammers. sigh. i don’t have anywhere near this size of a problem with this on my other sites, all wordpress…but then, they are not set up to be a community like this one buddypress site is. its never really taken off anyway so i’m seriously thinking its time to ditch buddypress…but then, i’ve put a lot of work into the theme and setting it all up so its very frustrating!!

Try to isolate what’s conflicting with group creation. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, then create a group. If that works, move forward by activating your custom theme, create a group, and so forth.

@djwinner didn’t get your notification. You can still enable your Activity Stream by removing lines 57 – 69 (the codes for favorite/remove-favorite) per http://pastebin.com/xkSrPSUd

@hedak – copy header.php and sidebar.php of mystique theme and Save As > … respective directions posted above.

Please post only once on the same topic. Closing this duplicate for https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-do-i-let-members-have-their-own-blog-with-picturesvideo/

I’m having a little difficulty working out what you are trying to do sorry. BuddyPress uses template files and it also allows you to add content. So are you saying you are looking for something in the template files?

If you want to find what html bits do what my recommendation would be Firebug or something similar http://getfirebug.com/.

I may be wrong about what you want to do so sorry if am but maybe that has helped a little?

@wendy-cockcroft wendy I just looked at your layout and stylesheet and I simply added ‘background-repeat: no-repeat; to the #header ruleset that is all you really need to do, not really sure what you tried previously that didn’t work but try that – I would avoid copying over any functions code as I think it’s just going to be problematical.

But I would add the two definitions I showed you earlier to your functions file so your image dimensions are not overwritten with BP upgrades.

P.S The code rendered as text as it looks like most if isn’t contained in php tags when it was copied and pasted over to your functions file – but remove all that for the moment – if your image is correct dimension and you are keeping the layout at present width just add the background property above and you should kill the repeat.

B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php

Add the following code at the TOP, above original sidebar code:
``

Add the following code at the BOTTOM, below all other code:
``

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/mystique/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are

D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.

@hedak You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your mystique theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your mystique theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:

<div id="mask-3" class="clear-block">
<div id="mask-2">
<div id="mask-1">
<div id="primary-content">
<div id=&quot;post-" >
<div class="clear-block">

Save file.

I have the same problem. All the main pages (groups, activity, forums, etc..) work fine, It’s just the “Buddybar” links under “My Account” like Profile, and such. This is a fresh install of WordPress and Buddypress with no plugins and using the default buddypress theme.

As far as I know rewite_modules are turned on – if they weren’t wouldn’t pretty permalinks not work at all? Although I’m still thinking it’s something with my host as buddypress works fine running on localhost with xampp..

Any idea what could be going on?

Could this maybe be buggering it up….? this WP/BP install is on my domain’s root, but I do have some subdomains running other wordpress installs (no buddypress).

Thanks for any advice.

subnav example, add to your plugins/bp-custom.php
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

//generate the 'Bongo' subnav tab to Messages
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'add_subnav_tab', 100 );
function add_subnav_tab() {
global $bp;
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
'name'            => __( 'Bongo', 'buddypress' ),
'slug'            => 'bongo',
'parent_url'      => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->messages->slug . '/',
'parent_slug'     => $bp->messages->slug,
'screen_function' => 'messages_screen_bongo',
'position'        => 40,
'user_has_access' => bp_is_my_profile()
) );
}

BuddyPress doesn’t cause that kind of behavior. It might be caused by old WP/BP plugin.
To check: Go to basic WP installation, i.e., Deactivate all plugins then change to Twenty Eleven theme and check if issue is resolved. If so, activate BuddyPress only and Frisco theme and start posting. Do not activate plugins which are not explicitly updated to current WP/BP versions.

@dannyjimmy go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Settings and click on Yes for “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?”

@idowu My apologies that was a little misleading as I could have sworn there was a button on the members account screen for ‘Sites’ what I was thinking of is the buddybar where you have a set of links, under ‘blogs’ there is a ‘create’ link in addition to the large button on the main BP blogs dir page. I would spend a little while having a good rummage around all the links and screens in BP so you’re familiar with what is where.

@pearl91 I assume latest BP./WP versions. Linux or Windows hosting? Have you changed your Settings > Permalinks from default to other listed?

You need to add the `div.padder` style I posted above if you want your BP pages to look like the rest of the site. You haven’t added the styles from Twenty Ten which brings in the widths of `div.item-list-tabs` and `div#subnav.item-list-tabs`

Use Firefox and install Firebug add-on and you’ll be able to ID the areas you need to change.

@idowu go to Blogs Directory page, beside the title “Blogs Directory” is a “Create a Blog” button. Click on it.

@jageshmk change to bp-default theme. If it doesn’t work, then start a new topic of your own. Add info about WP/BP version, Linux or Windows hosting. Theme/plugins used, etc.

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.
