To make it look like the previous, use the previous? lol. Not to be blunt though, if you’re unable to apply the stylings yourself, hire someone to do so for you or if colorway is a premium theme, ask them for help.
Hey all, I have an issue with BP using 1.7 and WP 3.5.1 with the Colorway theme.
I just upgraded to 1.7 and did the templates plugin disable and removal of the 6 files in theme.
I created a buddy press.php to create a fullwidth template and it has stretched it fine. Only issue is it has left it plain with no wrapping around activity, profile etc, just all very white and boring.
I’m a bit of a novice so go easy but how can I get the buddypress bit to look more like the one in the BP theme?
It looked better before I remove all the templates and upgraded.Looked more like this:
http://jigoshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/JigoshopBuddyPressShoppingCart.png
This is my bp.php I created from the themes fullwidth template as it suggested.
<?php
/*
Template Name: Fullwidth Template
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<!–Start Content Grid–>
<div class=”grid_24 content”>
<div class=”content-wrapper”>
<div class=”content-info”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class=”clear”></div>
<!–End Content Grid–>
</div>
<!–End Container Div–>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Thanking you in advance 🙂
Hope that helps someone! Now after that, I have another very minor issue. When a user goes to upload or change their avatar, and if they upload – without clicking on the crop tool – then the image is uploaded off-center. But if they move the crop tool at all and then upload it is fine.
Any ideas how to align where buddypress crops the image from if they do not click the crop tool?
@mercime, I’ve been spending some time on it and think I figured it out, but now I have another minor issue.
So incase anyone has this same issue, it was as simple as editing the /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php file to match my profile images (which are 120px and 50px) :
function bp_core_set_avatar_constants() {
if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 50 );
if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 50 );
if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 120 );
if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 120 );
if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH’, 120 );
I found out the culprit was ” if ( !defined( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH’ ) )
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH’, 120 ); – because before it had “,450” and if I uploaded a very large image then the size would be 450 but the box is only 120.
From the dashboard I can’t delete any plugins or themes … RSS Error: WP HTTP Error … I am unable to connect to download new plugins or themes from the dashboard …
@akukskuks BuddyPress activation does not cause those issues. Deactivate BuddyPress. Are the issues still there in your install? If so, you have get WP working without issues first before activating BP again.
How did you install WordPress, via webhost one-click WP install or manually? If you used webhost’s installation script, backup database to computer, then drop tables and start re-uploading WordPress manually via s/FTP. BP does not work well with one-click webhost scripts.
@jeffp808 looks like conflict with jcrop. Change to Twenty Twelve theme and check if cropping is corrected. If not, deactivate other plugins batch by batch except BuddyPress to check which is interfering with cropping.
I have an issue where after a user uploads a picture for their avatar, the alignment if extremely off when they go to crop it. So if they try to crop to the center, they are really cropping to the top left. Could anyone please help me with this? Thank you so much in advance!
I’m running WordPress Version 3.5.1 and Buddypress 1.7.
Yes I can @hnla – no problems uploading media.
I will check the settings with my host. Is this the part of the codex to which you are referring or is there something more specific?
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/
but when I click in settings (account, profile or create group) gives error. The system returned with inexistent page
@tuliodc not quite clear. You mean you go to dashboard Settings > BuddyPress > Components/Pages/orSettings and when you click on some sections, you go to a 404 page?
I saw that buddypress should work with bbpress, is true?
Yes. https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
My question is, what plugins I should install
I recommend that before you install other plugins, double-check that your BP install is in good working condition – e.g. registration ok, can create groups, can add friends, delete activity stream item, etc. If all OK, then read compatibility version, reviews and support forum topics of that plugin to check if plugin is supported and/or updated to latest BP/WP versions.
I installed buddypress and works fine, but when I click in settings (account, profile or create group) gives error. The system returned with inexistent pages. I did make a research and I saw that buddypress should work with bbpress, is true?
My question is, what plugins I should install in wp3.5.1 for my site works fine with forum and social network? Can I install BuddyPress Media 2.15.1 to adds Photos, Music, Videos & Albums to BuddyPress without have conflict with jwplayer6 v2.1.0(or others plugins or themes)?
I installed Buddypress 1.7.2
Very thanks and congratulations for the work.

@tduschei you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.
Added those php tags to that page.
Solved. Thanks so much @mercime !
For the noobs out there, make sure you have the opening and closing php tags for step 3 (functions file).

Hi,
I’ve come across a weird issue with AJAX (jquery) calls from the admin page of a group extension and I’ve been looking for a solution for a few days now without much luck.
I have a child theme of the BP Default theme and a group extension that loads and displays data depending on user selection. This was all working fine in BP 1.5.2 / WP 3.4.1. Since updating to BP 1.7.2 and WP 3.5.1 this no longer works correctly. Instead of loading/displaying the data it supposed to it loads and displays the full html of the admin page again.
In order to debug this I’ve tried the following:
1. Clean install of WordPress 3.5.1 with Buddypress 1.7.2 the only activated plugin
2. Activated TwentyTwelve theme
3. Added a basic group extension to the theme’s functions.php. This extension only contains a link on the group admin page and does nothing else.
4. Registered a simple “Hello World” ajax function in functions.php
5. Added some jquery in a seperate Javascript file to load and display the output from the “Hello World” function when the link on the group extension admin page is clicked
-> Testing this at this stage works fine and the output is “Hello World” as expected.
However I then switched the theme it to a child theme of BP default. This theme has nothing else than functions.php containing the group extension and the “Hello World” AJAX function, the Javascript file (using exactly the same code as above).
-> Testing this the output is now the full html of current admin page again instead of “Hello World”.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Is this a bug within the BP default theme?
the problem is Buddypress.. not the theme… Buddypress just simpley blocks main css files from loading only in ie8 and ie9 !… and i really dont know why … no1 else have a idear why and how to fix the problem !??
What BuddyPress version are you using?
Neither shows well the header of the page.
Just to be clear. What do you mean by “header” of the page? The area where the site name/logo shows up? First time I’ve heard that BP caused some issue with the header of the page. Screenshots or better yet, site URL with throw-away username/password.
The thumbnails are very large users in the forums and in the membership widget thumbnails are shown in column
Looks like the BuddyPress stylesheet is not being enqueued. Your theme should have <?php wp_head(); ?> just before closing</head> in header.php file. Check if it does.
i installed WordPress 3.5.1 with Buddypress plugin 1.6.5
@eraz0r Question is, why are you installing an old BP version when BP 1.7.2 is available for download?
The installation wizard seem to link the pages like this wordpress\activity
Is your WP/BP installed in subdirectory, i.e. example.com/wordpress/? Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and Use the BP Default theme after you activate BP and go through the Installation Wizard (which has been removed/deprecated in BP 1.7 above)
@rkcorp The theme looks great.
While awaiting theme review (up to 4 weeks), please make sure that your theme meets the WordPress Theme Review guidelines. Scanned source code at themes trac and there are issues which need to be be addressed. e.g. scripts and styles in <head> for one.
The following information should be of assistance in getting your theme to meet all the criteria:
* Theme Review – https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review
* Theme Unit Checklist – https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test
* Theme Development – https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
* Theme-Check Plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-check/
* Debogger Plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debogger/
After you’ve updated your theme to meet WP Theme Review guidelines, you’ll just need to upload a new version of the theme. You’ll still retain your place in the theme review queue.
@ebraxton30 Change to Twenty Twelve theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress to test if your installation is working as expected -> https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/
Extended Profiles https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/
Example of User Profile page which includes four profile field groups containing many profile fields each. http://testbp.org/members/mercime/profile/public/ Only the “General” profile group shows up during registration. Feel free to register at testbp.org, the official BuddyPress test site.
Hello everyone,
i installed WordPress 3.5.1 with Buddypress plugin 1.6.5
I have installed both twice …but the automatic pages creation in the installation wizard does not work. I always get a “Page not Found”-Error.
The installation wizard seem to link the pages like this wordpress\activity .
As there is not such a directory the page can not be found.
How can i create the pages and like them correctly.
It’s really a bit frustrating right now.
I have seen a post here saying changing the .htaccess-File is the key. But if this is the solution how should it be changed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
