@robert-tramontano Will try to help. Hopefully, it won’t be too complicated.. Have to see what has been done though. If you are still going to use that theme, open up your theme’s regular page.php file, copy all code, paste to pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for the revised index.php file in your theme’s member folder in server as in wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder/members/index.php
@mercime Yes I have a screenshot but did not know where to upload it but the programmer just kind of stuck it to me.. I repeatedly told him the theme still had a few issues and he gave me a hard time about it so I am screwed it seems unless someone can help me. Ok I have read about BP 1.7 but I will be sticking with 1.5.7 like glue as it has no issues.. I tried 1.6 and it was a nightmare for me and my setup. Was using the flexibility 3 theme but thinking about switching to another theme. Either way I have the issue though.. I tried the same templates for the flex 3 theme that the programmer did for me and it worked on the other theme as well.. if I could just figure where the code for width needs to go I will be set..
Wait are you talking about messages.php?
@wcten you’ll need to wrap the HTML structure of the page around the content of this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/activity/permalink.php which would be in your server wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder/members/single/activity/permalink.php
If you used the first method for Step 3 (changing 16 template files), then copy over the revision for the top part of the files and replace ` ` Next, copy over the revision for the bottom part of the files and replace ` `
== I looked in the messages php files and did not see any width adjustments ==
In many cases, one only needs to adjust 16 template files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles which have the major HTML containers for the content of all other BP template files. As you will see, the message templates are not included there because the messages content is contained in the members page structure. In some cases, one only needs to create two files for theme compatibility. Come BP 1.7, you won’t even need the BP template pack plugin anymore as theme compatibility is being built into the BuddyPress plugin itself.
Have you brought this to the attention of the one who fixed your BP template files? What WP theme are you using? Do you have a screenshot of the issue compared to other “tamed” BP pages?
Hi,
I have just modified my wordpress theme with the help of BuddyPress Template Pack. It looks great and I would like to keep the theme.
However, there is 1 minor problem that I can’t solve. Hope someone can help me out here.
At the activity page, when you click on the time (such as 3 days ago), you will go to the single activity page. For my case, the single activity page is not showing anything (it just shows header and footer without content). Can someone please tell me what is the problem or which file should I look at to solve this problem.
@famous that is a free plugin 
Know that I always mention if a plugin I refer to is premium.
@mercime – because I use wordpress & buddypress, I do my best to not ever rely on anything paid. Do you happen to know of any other way, or will it be built in the future?
Thanks
Hi @ubernaut
I have installed the plugin and it happens the same: it appears to have the option but when I tested it the policy is not enforced and even logged out users can see the private fields on my site.
Finally sorted something out.
==========================================================================
Add the following to your edit.php file:
`
<?php if(bp_get_current_profile_group_id()==2)
> //change this to the group id you want to restrict
These field have been locked by the Administrator. //or whatever you want to say
`
==========================================================================
Fix this line to include the “<?php" before the if like so:
`<?php if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=' . bp_get_current_profile_group_id() ) ) :`
==========================================================================
insert this to the second last line:
“
==========================================================================
== I sadly did not keep track of weird, off-hand alterations I might have made to the files I brought into my theme from core ==
Back up DB and server files then re-upload BuddyPress manually. If you mean you copied the bp-default theme and made it a stand-alone theme and uploaded it to wp-content/themes/ folder then I see no issues. On the other hand, if you made changes directly to bp-default theme in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default, then that could be the reason why you’re having these issues.
Hi Hugo,
Thanks for the reply. Understand what I need to do, but my PHP skills are still a work in progress. Do you have links to any samples and I will try to put somethign together.
Thanks
Tom
@mercime Yes I am using the template pack and had a programmer do some compatibility coding since it seemed too complicated and everything else seems fine right now except this but I did not check groups yet either.. he set it so certain files have a set width that I can change the size but I looked in the messages php files and did not see any width adjustments so i figure he must have missed this somehow.
Hi,
i have a weird error. Or maybe is default procedure but, when a used tries to upload an avatar or change it, the form links to gravatar.com. Although the user does click on “upload file”. I’m using Buddypress 1.6.1 and it was functioning on version 1.5.
I disabled all the gravatar but still whatever I do, the form links to gravatar.com.
Any ideas?
Thank you
I did choose the site wide option and unchecked “discussion forums” from the buddypress menu settings option. I also followed the instructions on the link @mercime.
I’m going to try that now @modemlooper
@sb0n What theme are you using? Theme demo URL? need the pastebins for your theme’s header.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files. Initial scan shows that you could possibly get away with creating two files for compatibility instead of revising 16 files, but I want to see the “whole picture” first.
== My end goal is to not have the “group” forums, just normal forums that don’t require group access. ==
@yoyobestbuy if you want sitewide forums only (aka bbPress plugin) then go to dashboard menu Settings > BuddyPress > Components and uncheck “Discussion Forums” https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
Choose the site wide option
BuddyPress has bbPress so delete the extra plugin. Then go into settings > BuddyPress in the admin. Click forum tab and setup bbPress
Anyone with experience on this??
@mercime
Thank you very much for your detailed response.
We want to keep complaints totally public.
The buddypress multi-network plugin looks great.
I think the author is going to soon update it to BP 1.6 version.
Thank you again.
There is no precedent in which Brajesh does not deliver above and beyond the call of duty. Given the complexity and volume of plugins he builds and maintains along with the many one-off coding requests, a healthy dose of latitude is advisable, imho. I guess at the right price you may find someone who will build what you want and may even maintain it as WordPress/BuddyPress constantly gets updated.
@qrahaman
I checked his blog before posting here. I don’t think there is any development on the plugin there.
Hello Buddypress, I am trying to install BBpress alongside my buddypress install to no avail.
I installed buddypress (1.6.1) and then download bbpress (2.1.2) and install, when I click on “activate” in wp-admin all I get is the following:
“The website encountered an error while retrieving http:/domain:8888/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.”
Could anybody give me some help if they’ve encountered this issue before? I’d so much appreciate it.
My end goal is to not have the “group” forums, just normal forums that don’t require group access.
