Hi! Paul. Here’s my settings – http://min.us/mbbV1psM8BDy
its working for me.
/*
Theme Name: BP Child
Tags: buddypress
Template: bp-default
*/
body {
font-size: 30pt;
}
That’s the content of wp-content/themes/style.css.
Try this tutorial:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/
Please test on a dev environment first!
Just so you’re aware, there are a few 1.5 bugs that have popped up regarding multisite installs:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3602
A ticket is already filed for this:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3604#comment:2
A dev just needs to get to it when they have the time. Just got to twiddle those thumbs for now!
There are two ways to resize the width:
1) Set the “maximum embed size” in the WP Media Settings Subpanel
2) Set the $content_width variable in your theme’s functions.php
`if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) {
// Change 640 to whatever the width of your column is
$content_width = 640;
}`
Paul, so right off I see errors with the call to a non-existent header image (I replaced it with a invisible gif and it is now solved) and adminbar.css.
With adminbar.css:
I’m using a child theme and I have its style sheet setup to import this way:
/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );
/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );
That’s where the error is coming from. Reading over some of the changes to BP 1.5 i noted something called enqueued css. I’m not familiar with it really. If I just delete those two lines will that style sheet still inherit the parents style sheet? Deleting those lines does resolve that final error.
@fswd
There is no option for a left sidebar. However, in the next couple of days the site is to change. Thanks everyone for your help. All robots have gone too.
@r-a-y, I followed the instructions in [https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme] and solved the problem. Tks.
The following are the procedures:
—
Member settings pages are blank
BuddyPress 1.5 comes with brand-new templates so you can style your member settings pages. However, if you’re using an older child theme, you will need to copy over these templates to your WP theme. To fix this problem, copy over the folder [/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/] directly to your WP theme’s folder.
If I add BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG in my wp-config.php, then disable and re-enable buddypress will it create component pages for the rest of my sites, or will I have to create these manually?
No, I don’t have that statement currently, could you tell me more or possibly point me in the right direction?
Hey folks, I’m lost here. I have Fishbook installed with BuddyPress, and the only time I can see the admin bar (whatever menu name you want to give it, the one with My Account, Dashboard & Notifications) only shows up when I scroll down.

Currently, 0 plugins installed, I reinstalled WordPress, then BuddyPress then Fishbook, and the issue remains. I did the trick of moving the header.php file from the BP Default folder into the Fishbook folder (by the way the above file names are no longer correct since BP 1.5) but with or without the header file, the issue remains. I remember testing out BP several months ago, and I didn’t have this menu problem with Fishbook then. I vaguely remember having to install a plugin to customize the menu buttons, specifically for Fishbook, but I can no longer find that plugin.
Let me know your thoughts, thanks a lot.
Facecopy sounds more like it.
I must upgrade wordpress and after buddypress…?
@Flora1234 Couldn’t you re-install your wordpress through http://yousite.com/wp-admin/update-core.php ??
If that’s what you want then you can just click on the re-install link. Also you won’t loss your plugin, but i do suggest you backup your database just in case.
Thanks @davidtcarson I was literally typing up my own response when you posted yours. –
I’ve noticed this on my WP Multisite when I post something to both the main blog along with posting in one of the subdomain blogs. I assumed that Buddypress was posting twice into the activity stream because it was in actuality seeing the post twice.
I would so much rather get dirty with code and create something wonderful than use something out of the box! I’m surprised more people don’t want to do this!
Yes, thank for the direction to that plugin. Usually I don’t like to use plugins when I can code, but I may just go for that one!
I did try and copy and paste the widget code into the buddybar Of course I got a fatal error, but it’s good to be reassured that I was moving in the right direction! So thanks for that – it just means I have to focus a little more and do some code editing!
I was hoping that someone had done it before and could just pass along the edited code … wishful thinking!
In BP 1.5, you need these pages.
However, you can easily exclude pages from the main nav with a plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/

To customize the BuddyBar, unfortunately you’ll need to get your hands dirty with code:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/
The code for widgets can be found in:
/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php
You’ll need to extrapolate some of that code when building your custom entries in the BuddyBar.
Hope this is a good enough starting point!
It may be caused by one of the plugins you have installed. remove all the cache. if still does not work then move all the plugins except the buddypress to a backup folder and try bringing back one plugin after another.
I may have stumbled upon the problem. It appears only to be happening on the non-root-blog. Follow https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3622#comment:3 for details.
Following up on @frenx4u, is your theme a child theme of bp-default, or did you adapt it for BP use with the BuddyPress Template Pack? If the latter, you will probably have to do what frenx4u suggests.
@modemlooper and @djpaul for a non coder how would i place the code? Because this is like science to me.. I’m only good at copy and paste, lol. which line would i place it under etc, thanks.
