BuddyPress.org

@twodeuces I’m trying to make it so when a user clicks “Join group” they are taking to the group’s page, instead of left on the directory. could you provide me with some clues on how to do that?

The activity/post issue is known and has been fixed for BuddyPress 1.5.1 (not out yet). In the meantime, either do this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5187/ or include the default theme’s javascript into your theme.

What did Brajesh say to fix the first problem?

For the 2nd, look at the two points under the Theme Information heading on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/

You probably need a SMTP email plugin

When you say can’t send out emails are you on a server that has been set up to email? I ask this as you may not be.

Also what happens on activation does it just not send out?

Perhaps this thread will help?

@acurran – This does not work for me. Please test.

What theme are you using? Are you using multisite? What’s the name of the subdir that you’ve installed WordPress into?

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.

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:

A dev just needs to get to it when they have the time. Just got to twiddle those thumbs for now!

Read this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme

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;
}`

@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.
