BuddyPress.org

@prasanth-p do clarify if you made a WP theme or a bp-default child theme. Solution would be different depending on scenario.

@JackVD do be more specific. BP/WP versions? Using bp-default child theme or a WP theme with BP template pack plugin? New install? Check out System and Server Requirements as well as WordPress configuration https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

You’re welcome.

Which version of IE are you using? The bbPress (Forums), Members, and Groups Pages are full width and aligned in IE 8/9. You just might want to remove the negative left and right margins for div#item-list-tabs, div#subnav, and div.pagination as well as add top and bottom paddings to #forums tr. Check out modifications made in this tutorial for some more styling tips/corrections.

It’s your site’s Activity Pages that are not rendering properly. I suggest you open up activity/index.php and change
`

The only bundled theme that comes with BuddyPress is the bp-default theme.

To activate a theme, go to Appearance > Themes > choose Canvas – and activate. For more information about your theme, please contact theme author/s.

@nahummadrid This is something that I would want as well. I’m going to try to develop this, I’ll post something if I get something working.

Thanks,

Hi. I have found a similar thing. I have migrated a multisite to a new buddypress multisite installation.

Wordpress 3.2.1
Buddypress 1.5.1

I imported a site from my old multisite (without buddypress). I found that when I allowed wordpress to create the users from the xml export data (ie import posts and it gives you the option to create the users) that all of the users could not see my sites in the admin bar and also all of their sites where not visible under my account sites.

I have found that if you create the users first (like a new user) and then assign the posts to the new users … they can operate normally (can see sites in admin bar and all sites are visible under my account).

First, set the entire shebang to fill the screen with a maximum width of 100% like so:
`body {
max-width:100%;
}`

Then, set the page container div element (it sits inside the body element) to the smaller width you want and set the margins to auto so the content gets centered on-screen like so:
`div#container {
width:60%;
margin:auto;
}`

EDIT: you may want to set the container div to a fixed width instead, for example:
`div#container {
width:900px;
margin:auto;
}`

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

If your child theme hasn’t got a functions.php file then create your own in a simple text editor such as notepad++.

The first line should be just “ with nothing after it. ( The same php tags as the bp-custom.php file )

Then place something like the above nav menu function and action in between the tags….

For more info check the codex link above or http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/06/01/goodbye-headaches-hello-menus

oh right so this is the way to add my own secondary menu !! great

sorry to be a pain aces, is there any particular place to nest this..? or am I deleting / replacing existing code..?

I haven’t copied a functions.php file to my child theme yet..I guess I should do this first and make the edits in there right !

It would really be great to let our users chose which language they’d like to see our website on. It’s a pitty that such a great software as BuddyPress lacks this option that many others consider as basic.

There’s always numerous Google translate implementations, but that just isn’t what we need.

I’m guessing some hack could be made with an XProfile field called “language” and a hook to WordPress profile language settings. Unfortunately, I’m not able to code it by myself.

@mercime

bp-custom.php goes into the plugins folder immediately under /wp-content/plugins/ not in a theme folder/directory….

( https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus )

In your child theme’s functions.php file:
`function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus( array(
‘primary’ => __( ‘Header Navigation’ ),
‘secondary-menu’ => __( ‘Alternative Menu’ ),
‘another-menu’ => __( ‘Another Menu’ )
) );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_menus’ );
`

Thanks for that!

I just deleted the bp-mobile plugin due to technical problems and I’m back with just a single menu now..? (primary) seems like bp-mobile creates a secondary theme location. I guess I could just use the plugin to create the secondary location / menu and choose my custom logged-out menu from the drop down right?

I deleted buddypress all togehter and reinstalled with the standard theme and receive the same message.

@mercime That fixed my problem. Thank you so much!

I, too, would appreciate such a feature.

@hnla, @mercime, How do I add a tag a forum post? I’d like to tage this one, but I don’t see how. Also, I’d like to “follow” or “subscribe” to this forum post, but I don’t see how. Will you please show me the way? (I am posting this “me too” reply in hopes that it will trigger a “follow” or “subscribe” function.)

Thanks!

P.S. I believe bug 1949 [1] relates to this issue; if I am mistaken, please let me know. Thank you!

I’m afraid I don’t know how Google selects which RSS feed to display. It probably just picks the first one it finds. Make sure there is a line like the one that @modemlooper suggests, and make sure it appears high in header.php – immediately after the `

I believe the best way is to not update BPDefault in 1.7, keep it bundled with core (for now), and ship an all-new theme. BPDefault is pretty old now.

@joemd

If your theme does not have a custom css area, you’ll need to edit your theme’s style.css file. Add the following to that file and adjust the color to suit:

`div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a, div.item-list-tabs ul li.current a {
color:#212121;
}`
