BuddyPress.org

@simon_said – exactly right. Sorry I wasn’t more clear.

Still to do: My topics & replies

These will likely come back when we move to bbPress 2.0.

* Topic links are fixed
* Topic tags are fixed

@tommyhoang Again, this is a bug in WordPress core. Not BuddyPress. It’s not been fixed into WordPress yet; look at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744

BP_DISABLE_AUTO_GROUP_JOIN is part of BuddyPress core. It ought to work.

@sbruner, is that article up to date for the current version of wordpress and buddypress? I created a child theme and made a blank functions.php file and added the codes from step 1 and step 2. now Im a little confused with step 3, where am i suppose to put those codes and am I suppose to rename my functions.php file to page.php?

If you want to uninstall BuddyPress later, you’ll go through this process https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

As for BP Template Pack plugin, you’d have to delete the plugin and then delete the BP template folders/files copied over to your active WP theme folder when you went through the BP compatibility process.

WP/BP versions? Could be that you have outdated theme? Change to bp-default theme and check whether mentioned misbehavior is corrected.

@simon_said BP 1.5 Theme Stylesheet info in BP Codex – https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/

So the code in my previous post doesn’t show. Since then, this is what I’ve included in my child theme’s functions.php file (and I have NOT done an @import within my style.css file):

http://chopapp.com/#2s3gjzs6

This seems to work. Is the syntax for enqueuing the style.css file correct? Is this the right way to do it? Thanks.

By the way, I see that other folks are able to paste code into the comments/replies. I don’t know how to do that, hence the link. Could someone enlighten me?

Using @import in combination with linked CSS causes CSS load order issues, as the HTTP requests are not completed in sequence.

I would suggest researching and using the WordPress API wp_enqueue_style() to better avoid the fouc.

I’m going to assume you mean under WordPress not BuddyPress specifically and using Multisite? Is that right? If not what do you mean by theme?

@gregfielding: Could you let me know what step I’m missing or applying incorrectly? I have the same issue that you mentioned in your original post. So, after reading all of the recommended material regarding creating a child theme for BP 1.5 Beta 1 thru 3, the styling in my child’s style.css file still won’t be recognized (And I’m still in a slowly clearing fog. Too slow.). Here’s what I did:

1. Created my child theme folder,
2. In that I created a blank functions.php file and then added to it:

`<?php
if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {}
endif;
?>`

3. I reloaded my browser, and the default styling isn’t there. Great.
4. Now, to my child’s style.css file, I do what I’ve done before and add the @import code:
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );
5. I did Step 4 because I want to load and override the default styling, not start from scratch.

Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

@evo252, i have been to your site, change the code to #compose{display:none ! important;}
and compose will disappear.

@evo252, do yo have a guest account on your site? if yes, give me a link to your site and i will look at the slug or just give me a link and i will register. but do you remember to clear your cache? by pressing CTRL F5?

@evo252, if that is what you need, just put #compose{display:none;} in you style.css, and user will still be able to message other, or friends by visiting their friends profile. i just test this and is working.

regards

I’ve got default working now. The WP plugin “Nivo Sider for WordPress” breaks pretty much all interaction just by being activated. I’m guessing it’s 1 or more conflicting .js files. I have the same plugin working fine with BP 1.2.9 but the plugin has a number of issues, definitely don’t mind using a different, more friendly slider plugin.

There isn’t a custom profile plugin at the moment. There exists a group css plugin that could be used as an example in creating your own plugin. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-css

Another option is adding profile fields and then mapping that info to CSS. See this forum topic: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/css-for-member-page

when I get a chance, getting plugins updated first and then fixing the themes.

I liked the video too. Niche communities around the world will surely rejoice
