I like how ray says: ” I’m guessing a month or longer “
and he posted it over 9 months ago 😆
@goldbrick very strange, you said you deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress.
– If you have bp-custom.php in plugins folder rename that to deactivate
– if you have an mu-plugins folder, rename that to deactivate
I was going to check source and styling but I’m getting a “500 Internal Server Error” from your site right now.
Hey Mercime again thanks for responding so quickly and helping out. Out my deal….. I fixed the last issue but of course I am confused again!
I am currently trying to finish the add bp component Navigation Links in the Final Steps of the website you sent me. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
If you could check this out you would be saving my life and my computers life because you will prevent me from tossing it out my window.
I am going to paste my header.php in the pastebin.com
My name on the site is Mikeytrooper and the name of the of the post is “On Demand Header”.
Again thanks your the man!
– Mike
Thanks for response!
@nahummadrid , by using posts & comments , only admin and authors can post questions. To allow visitor posting, something else is needed 
@Bowromir , Basically, I need the Q&A system play nicely with main BP features and plugins. Especially a rating sytem which can communicate between BP user stats and Q&A results, also allows the rating result to be hooked up with Achievments plugin.
Other features include the ability of allowing anybody to start a post (the qurestion), registration is not required but the offer is provided; question are sortable by category or by tag; Each question has its own permalink; Questions has a list page; Questions and Answers can be listed under user’s home page nav tab,
The premium theme Instant-QA is really nice as an independant system. But I think a lot of works still needed to tweak it working with BP user profile and multisite. So, maybe it’s better dive into BP straight?
I tried Question-and-Answer-Forum plugin, it doesn’t register the post type with BP properly so that things are not running on BP; I also tried One-Quick-Post, it could work as Q&A if remove other un-related stuffs and add a rating system, but the code seems not stable in itself, Things are not smooth even without any tweaking, so I think it not worth working on.
I think the most posible smooth model is the BP activity component? — maybe make an Activity clone, remove un-related functions, allow guest post, then, adding user stats and rating system become simple.
All my thoughts might be un-realistic because I don’t have coding experience. Hope you guys continue shading lights on….
Any theme can be a q&a theme with some modifications to the comments.php and adding something like gravity forms to the frontend for user posting(questions). There’s other language stuff you can modify so all your verbiage is inline with Q&A terminology (instead of posts & comments replace with Questions and Answers.) Add BP layer and you’ve got a pretty nifty social Q&A site. every bp site I build has a q&A site component so you’re on the right track.
You could possibly also use Forums in such a way but I wouldn’t go that route because of how they are tied to groups.
You can do this a regular WordPress plugin. What features specific to BuddyPress do you need? Or get a premium theme like this: http://wordpressqa.com/instant-qa/
Check out this article a wrote sometime ago. Just follow step 1, and you’ll have exactly what you need
http://bp-tricks.com/featured/five-ways-to-integrate-facebook-with-your-buddypress-community/
Seems nobody is interested. Then, any suggestion for me? a plugin to work on?
@idunno2day lov yer handle!
Always try to search the forums before asking a question that has very likely been asked before. You would have found this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/transforming-the-default-navigation-bar-activity-groups-members-etc-into-a-dropdown-menu/
EDIT: you could also try a theme that already has custom menus enabled. Mine comes to mind http://BuddyLite.com
Nice job!
I feel the buttons catch more attention than content. Maybe remove the border of avatar, and make the username button a bit light?
“First and Last Name”, and “Current Location”, can be “Name” and “Location”, just for saving space.
By the way, apart from your site design, The 2 blocks nav/subnav of BuddyPress are the most difficult stuff to manage, they confuse all visitors. I haven’t seen any good example.
@mikeytrooper let’s take it here, better than in my profile update page
== I just have one more question I am looking at the on demand html and I don’t see the style.css I was wondering if you knew if it may be under a different name. ==
Not quite sure what you mean. Go to On Demand theme folder and open page.php with text editor and check HTML structure as I noted in the walkthrough. Your style.css file should also be in that theme folder. Like I mentioned above, last time I tweaked On Demand was a year ago. Though there must have been some major revisions to the template files since then, surely there’s a page.php and style.css file in the folder.
If you want me to check out the structure, copy contents of your theme’s page.php file and paste in http://pastebin.com/ and save. Post the generated URL here.
Do you think we will be at 1.3 by 1.4 time slot? I guess there is no use of trying to anticipate the next major update… there still are 60+ tickets in the trac, most without patches.
@pcwriter,
Thanks for that. white-space:normal; helps with my x-axis fields and it works perfectly.
Now, however, I am trying to limit the height of my “about me” field. I’m using max-height:400px; but white-space causes the browsers to ignore the limit. What I really want is: white-space:normal; max-height: 400px; overflow-y:auto; but firefox is the only one that shows it properly. The others all revert to scroll bars, even safari.
Ugh.
key, with a little search, in bp-activity-templatetags.php i search this:
`$content .= apply_filters( ‘bp_activity_permalink’, ‘ · activity->id, $activities_template->activity ) . ‘” class=”view” title=”‘ . __( ‘View Thread / Permalink’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘”>’ . __( ‘View’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘‘, &$activities_template->activity );`
Then i delete
` class=”view”`
The link now is working perfectly without AJAX. Thanks
@gregfielding
Try
white-space:normal;
in your CSS
For details, see http://xahlee.org/js/css_text-wrap.html
All those patterns are possible (i think) and have been asked around here in the forums before. I can’t think of the threads but you could search around and try to find those solutions. From what I understand they do take a lot of working. I think I may have even asked that before (with “members/username/blog” only)…but saw that it was too hard for me to do! hehe.
If I understand your question correctly, “is it possible to have one blog per user” — by default registered users can create as many blogs as they want. There is a plugin that limits users to only have 1 one blog called “Limit Blogs Per User”. BuddyDev.com
hope that helps…
Thank you @mercime! I was just able to create a blog. But now I am confused!!!
For example, in my prompt, i entered blog name which appears directly under the root of the site. Ex: xyz.com/MyNewBlog1/ – this is a bit confusing…
Whenever a user is creating a personal blog, he/she really creates a sub-site (with its own template and everything else…) – is this correct?
If yes, then is it possible to force the new blog URLs to follow this patters:
1) /members/username/blogs/MyFirstBlogName/
OR
2) /members/username/blog/MyFirstBlogName/
OR
3) /members/username/MyFirstBlogName/
If one of the above patterns is used, then it is easier to understand that the blog belongs to a user, rather then the top-level site.
Thank you again!
PS: Wow – this community support is awsome. Much better than some of the paid support. Lets not get into names here …. .
== Site Admin -> Options -> Allow New Registrations > set to: “Only Logged In Users Can Create New Blogs” – is no longer available!!! ==
It’s now available at Network Admin > Settings > Settings > Registration Settings – “Logged in users may register new sites.”
Thank you for a super fast reply. However, I red documentation, and it is for the previous version of BuddyPress / WordPress.
Site Admin -> Options -> Allow New Registrations > set to: “Only Logged In Users Can Create New Blogs” – is no longer available!!!
Could you guide a BuddyPress/WordPress noob please?
If i need to change the code, I am fine with this – I have a software development background.
If you configure multisite to allow blog registrations, when a user registers an account on your BuddyPress-powered site, it will ask for/prompt for the name of the site (blog) to be created. BuddyPress then tells multisite to register that new site; there’s very little involvement here as far as BP is concerned.
Thank you for a reply!
Yes, I am pretty sure that MultiSite is enabled.
I did the following check:
From the ‘Network Admin’ I added new site and called it ‘SubSite1’; the URL of SubSite1 is: xyz.com/SubSite1/.
The SubSite1 has it’s own blog where I can add a post, etc. The blog of SubSite1 is also listed in the top level site: xyz.com/blogs/.
So, there is a capability to have one blog per one sub-site.
The question still remains, how can one blog per one BuddyPress user can be enabled?
I include the contents of wp-config.php for your reference (just in case you wonder what is there):
…
I have some passowrds infor here…
…
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘cfbp.dev’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

Thank you for taking the time to help me
I disabled all plugins except buddypress. Problem remains.
I was using wordpress for a few months before deciding to upgrade to buddypress.
