@bill-king What theme are you using? Custom-coded probably with own proprietary way of rendering WP pages so we cannot filter the page title for BuddyPress pages. Change to Twenty Twelve or BP Default theme and those warnings will go away.
So should I deactivate my Buddypress template pack plugin for the moment?
Those two fixes get me 90% of the way there, but on 3.5 and 1.7 when you are in the admin panel of Moderation, the link to “View” an Activity Update goes to domain.com/activity/[#] when it should go to domain.com/member/[membername]/activity/[#]
Any thoughts?
@jancbeck Maybe with a few coding that would be possible…
In the first instance attempt to allow BP to use it’s theme compatibility now built into 1.7 by simply activating BP and your theme do not try and use template pack for the moment.
Can anyone help me with sizing of navigation tabs?
Using: WordPress 3.5.1, BuddyPress 1.7, Montezuma (Bytesforall) theme. Difficult to ‘just switch’ to Twenty Ten / Twenty Eleven as it’s a ‘presentation’ problem.
I’m trying to resize BP navigation tabs to match others I’m using at my site.
As you can see, I’m managing to resize the ‘sub menu’ navigation, but not the ‘top level’ … even though they’re using (as far as I can ascertain) exactly the same CSS classes, ID, etc. Actually … you can’t see. You need to be logged in and viewing your own dashboard for there to be sub-nav items. Sorry. Just have to take my word for it
To the right of the member name, if you’re signed in, there are sub-nav tabs for ‘View’, ‘Edit’, etc. which are the same size as ‘Register’ and ‘Log In’. The ‘Comments’, ‘Profile’, etc. tabs are generated by BuddyPress as a ‘main navigation’ menu.
I’ve played with CSS in the Montezuma theme, in BP Template plugin, and in ‘default.css’ in the main BP plugin. Can anyone suggest where I should be looking? Driving me mad that I can’t crack what should be such a simple thing!
So I am trying to configure Buddypress with my website and i’m not quite sure how to do the third step. For example I made all of the pages that Buddypress has and the page isn’t aligned correctly. Here is my register page revieoo.com/register Any suggestions?
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this. What I’m looking to do is something like on this webpage: http://www.beatport.com/artist/sebastian-weikum/137000/tracks?perPage=100
As you can see, there is a ‘filter box’ with keywords that users use to search through the list. I was hoping I would be able to do something similar to that on the ‘Members’ page in buddyoress. I wouldn’t necessarily want to keep the default search bar, unless if it would be easier to use it together with the filter box.
Does anyone have any idea how I would go about doing something like that? I already have most of the code structured out, but its integrating it with wordpress/buddypress, for it to give me results that are profiles, and the right ones, which is causing the problem for me at the moment. What are the variables/functions/… that I would need to use in order to get coherent results?
Thanks in advance!

Only plugins activated are Akismet, BuddyPress, Gantry Template Framework, Jetpack by WordPress.com.
This is driving me nuts! Can someone please help me?
I believe I understood that the BuddyBar was being deprecated.
@jcollier BuddyBar had already been deprecated since BuddyPress 1.6. For reference see related tickets, specifically #3661 and #3596 You can also check out bp-members-adminbar.php with bp-members-buddybar.php in current BP 1.7 version //edit – Visitors who are not logged in shouldn’t be able to see member’s my account options.
Buddybar shown to all users, including a log-in/register link for new users
If you want BuddyBar back, you can create a bp-custom.php file, add following code, and upload to wp-content/plugins/ folder in server
`<?php
// Bring BuddyBar back
add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );
?>`
If you are running under theme compat then you shouldn’t need to call in the js file from legacy, if you are simply modifying template files and styling then files need to live in either /buddypress/ or /community/ with css in theme root; how have you got things configured?
@maddogmcewan great tip – thanks! Unfortunately though, it allows neither file uploads nor are these fields searchable. I’m investigating using ACFs repeater field in combination with a front end form but this is also far from being perfect.
I tried to install courseware but it does not work with 1.7. Where can I find a good version of 1.6.5 or 1.6.4 to install?
Thanks!
been running cometchat pro at http://smeak.com … and loving it, tried MANY chat systems… where else can u chat with googleplus or FB users from within BP, or mobile chat to android… share whiteboards and video chat etc…. worth the money in every way
Hi @modemlooper, thanks for the quick response.
I am now getting a 404 Page Not Found when I make that change.
http://www.posters.io/members/admin/favorites/
I have these functions in the bp-custom.php inside the plugins folder.
__(‘Favorites’, ‘buddypress’),
‘slug’ => ‘favorites’,
‘position’ => 75,
‘show_for_displayed_user’ => true,
‘screen_function’ => ‘all_conversations_link’,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘all-conversations’
));
print_r($wp_filter);
}
function all_conversations_link () {
//add title and content here – last is to call the members plugin.php template
add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_content’ );
bp_get_template_part( ‘members/single/plugins’ );
}
function my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_title() {
echo ‘My new Page Title’;
}
function my_groups_page_function_to_show_screen_content() {
echo ‘My Tab content here’;
mfp_display();
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_bp_nav_adder’ );
?>
Thanks again
Awesome @maddogmcewan! Thank you for sharing! =)
I swear by BuddyStream … it works like a horse at http://smeak.com – LOVE IT
you should also look at an old plugin called BP Resume it nay be of some use to you…. I tweaked it a bit at smeak.com and it works quite well

Hi There,
I am attempting to add a “Favorites” tab to my User Profile pages so they can favorite posts. I have the favorite part down, but clicking the new Profile Tab loses all Profile styling. I believe I am running into a template issue… but after 2 days of researching I am at a lost.
I followed this to create a new Tab on the profiles:
http://codex.themedelta.com/how-to-create-a-new-tab-in-buddypress-member-page/
The Tab shows up, but once clicked I lose all profile styling. I have attempted to rebuild the files in both the child theme folder (in a “buddypress” folder”) and have tried using bp-custom.php in the plugins folder as well as functions.php in the child theme folder.
You can see the tab here: http://www.posters.io/members/admin/
But once clicked, the profile is gone: http://www.posters.io/members/admin/favorites/
Is this just a styling issue? Ideally, clicking “Favorites” would react just like clicking “Friends” or “Settings” – only the bottom half of the Profile would change (populated by the favorited posts)
I feel comfortable styling with CSS, but I feel like I am running into a template issue.
Thanks in advance! really appreciate any help or guidance.
okie i just noticed something… when i remove buddypress 1.7 and put 1.6.4, my site registers users and it works well… but what i dont understand is i have a dummy version of the site and buddypress 1.7 works well on it..and it registers users without problems… but it doesnt work for the main site.. and i tested it on another site.. users cant register
so why are users able to register on BP1.7 and cant register on 1.6.4 and users can register on my dummy with any version of my BP,
if there is a bug conflict somewhere …please am opened to the solution
Hi Hugo-
Thanks for your reply. I’m not doing anything to prevent theme compat from running (as far as I know–I thought that add_theme_support(‘buddypress’) was the flag to stop compat, and I’m not setting that).
Basically, I’ve provided php and css files via my theme but would like the js bits to continue to be provided by BP.
I thought I understood how theme compat worked via the 1.7-betas (my theme behaved just like it did under 1.6.x), but it seems to be different with the actual release.
Is there a document somewhere describing what triggers/short-circuits theme compat, so I can know either how to get BP to provide the theme compat via js, or, alternatively, duplicate the right files from bp-default into my theme to get the functionality back?
Thanks again for your reply,
-David
Theme compat changes the way Ajax is handled, you’ll need to call the older bp-default ajax.php file. or are you actually allowing theme compat to run?
I installed buddypress fine. I have it activated. I am using a plug-in called theme my login (tml). Once a subscribers logs in I want them redirected to the “sitewide activity”. I tried going in the (tml) redirection setting and placing the sitewide activity url for subscribers but when I did a test it simply brings subscribers back to the homepage. I want to have new subscribers also be able to edit their profiles as if it were on the my website and not in the WordPress dashboard area. I am available on skype to chat or screenshare to give a better understanding of the issue. My email is mattw@icheckback.com. Thanks
