BuddyPress.org

My BuddyPress, a bp-default child theme, has not been updated for version BP 1.5

Compare the header.php of the My BuddyPress” theme to that of bp-default theme’s header.php where the old links in My BuddyPress have not been updated, among other things.

Did you make sure you updated the pages in dashboard/buddypress/pages? Click on the dropdown menu and select the appropriate pages and save it? If not then that may be the issue.

You could start off with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/ then have to add on the codes for the additional functions that you require, or hire a developer to do so.

WP/BP versions? I’ve seen this happen with an old custom theme which was not updated for latest WP/BP versions. Have you done basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

@videogamerznet no problem. Where did you download your Arras theme – site URL? There are different sites which do that and I want to know which version you have activated.

>> just as it wants to enter into a user option does not find this page.
Not clear what you mean. Can you elaborate further?

>> The problem is also a list of users, one does not display. What may be the problem?
If you already have users before installing BuddyPress, they need to log in at least once after the BP installation so they will be “recognized/recorded” and listed in Members Directory.

Sure, you can change those by creating a language translation file https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

@ironjade Ok, I see what you were trying to get at. You need to fix alignment of the BP template pages in line with your theme’s HTML structure which you should go through after Appearance > BP Compatibility.

To proceed with getting the HTML structure in line, open up your Ithaca theme’s header.php, copy all code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated URL here. Do the same for ithaca theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

Yes, registration is “off” by default. You turn on registration only if you’re opening up your site for public participation. To enable registration for a single WP site, go to dashboard menu Settings > General – Membership and click on box to allow registration.

As to list bullet points and the BP elements extending past widths set, copy some or part of the style modifications for Twenty Ten child theme per link I gave at the end of the alignment instructions.

It should work. Does your activity stream work for content generated in BuddyPress?

B. Copy sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the top, above all code contained within, add this
`

<div class="”>`

Then at the bottom, below all other code, add this:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save file.

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

Final note: You might want to check out the style modifications to contain some BP elements as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

@udotorg Based on initial scan, to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, you 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 evolution theme folder during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your denizen 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 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:
`<?php
$sidebar_layout=get_post_meta($post->ID,’kaya_pagesidebar’,true);
$img_width=kaya_image_width($post->ID);
//sidebar class
$aside_class=($sidebar_layout== “leftsidebar” ) ? ‘one_third’ : ‘one_third_last’;
?>

Goodluck!

I hope it helps you out!

Take a look at “Member settings pages are blank” on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/developer-and-designer-information/

Only relevant if your theme was created before BuddyPress 1.5?

for some reason i cant create a fresh topic?

can anyone help me with this problem..

my site has a problem with someone using around 3 googlemail email addresses to keep registering on my buddypress powered website to the point where their details have remained enscribed on my sites registry form..

is there a way to get rid of this please..?

many thanks in advance

@prometheus-fire I’m a long-time WP guy, but brand new to BP. I did find an example of adding a custom activity message at http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/adding-a-new-activity-stream-entry-when-a-user-changes-his-avatar/

Hope that helps.

B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`

`

with the following for registration/register.php:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save files.

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you revised up to your server wp-content/themes/clearphoto/

D. You might also want to check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

@allentan there’s something awry with your installation if you keep giving me the code for the Group Directory Index when I ask for your Clearphoto theme’s index.php file. Assuming you have the original zipped file of your Clearphoto theme, I suggest that you delete the clearphoto theme in your server via Appearance > Themes > Clearphoto – delete. Then reinstall Clearphoto for a clean slate.

Activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Again, for a clean setup.

Then download BP Template Pack folders in your theme’s folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration

Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Clearphoto theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
