BuddyPress.org

Following this, https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
you can add styling directly on style.css file of your child theme

@imjscn – There is no straightforward way to do what you’re trying to do.

For the message at the top of the screen, you can change that with a language file and then change the display with CSS. Removing the class=”error” div will be more trouble than it’s worth.

The other part will be harder. You can get the error info out of the $bp global – $bp->signup->errors – on page load. Then you’ll probably have to use Javascript to change the color of the labels.

@boonebgorges sorry to bother you again…but do you have any ideas how this can be done or a direction to go in? thanks

Hi,

I didn’t realize this was a problem. I’ll go patch it today. Easy fix. Please friend me or something if there’s a problem. I didn’t see this one until someone on the wordpress forum pinged me. I’m happy to fix stuff, just need to know

Thanks,
Dave

I think it happens only on local setup and specially when buddypress is accessed via http://localhost/… ? Is that correct ?

It does work on live servers and local machines having a vhost setup (http://www.WHATEVERYOUWANT.SOMETHING).

The plugin does not create cookies on local machine (comparing both phpinfo() outputs), is it related to cookies on localhost (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1134290/cookies-on-localhost-with-explicit-domain) ?

Thanks for help.

I’ve just checked your site. Looks like you’ve disabled BuddyPress.

Hi everyone I am a beginner at all this and I am having a little problems with the bp implementation with the bp -mystique theme and was wondering if someone could guide me towards the right direction. The wp portion of the site is looking good but as soon as i go to a bp part the header is not where it suppose to be there is a big space and the background image for the site is not there anymore.

It seems that the bp is not registering the modification I have made on the wordpress part.

the site im working on is icacsports.com

Any help would be most appreciated

cheers,

Is this a new installation or did you recently upgrade WP? WP/BP versions? What theme are you using?

Deactivate all plugins but leave BuddyPress activated and use bp-default theme. Clear cache. See if the same erratic behavior shows up.

Same here. It works when you type it in as a permalink ie https://codex.buddypress.org/search/member, but not when you use the search form.

@thealchemist do bear in mind that Multisite is a WordPress feature (and therefore really a WP support issue rather than a BP one) even though we are happy to help where we can with non BP support issues

Go to your admin dashboard > BuddyPress > General Settings
See “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?” Click on “Yes” button

@ivailoski please contact theme author as that is a premium theme which would require us to purchase it first to assist you.

My best guess would be to open up a home.php file in your theme, make a copy of it to be safe e.g. home-original.php, open up home.php and delete the section which would probably a featured div or something like that. Reupload to theme’s folder in server. If you deleted the correct div block, then all’s well. If something goes wrong, replace the mucked up home.php with the copy you made of it.

Change theme to bp-default theme and see if same behavior persists. If not, then contact Social Theme author for resolution.

There’s a plugin for that

Interesting ! I am waiting for that too.I know a plugin seaweed.But it is not working with Multisite installation and not updated by the developers a while .

Hi guys, I just searched and followed the links here.

I tried moving the code for the “All activity” tab in a child theme, and managed to move the tab to the right of “@mentions” tab.

The problem is although “My friends” tab is now the first tab and appears to be active by default (I added class=”selected” for it), but the rss feed area still displays sitewide activties.

In my understanding, buddypress loads “all activities” when the activity page is opened, and by clicking tabs or setting filter in the dropdown menu, it filters the loaded activites.

So I guess if there is code for filtering and displaying only “my friends” activities, so we could add the code right after bp loads all activities.

Does this sounds reasonable? Anyone has any idea?

fjrichman… I agree this is a problem. It would be one thing if BuddyPress only added the padding when the site visitor was logged in, but it’s poor form to add 25px pixels padding to the body regardless. I understand that it would be a problem for WordPress developers who don’t call body_class(), but, by default, the BuddyPress default stylesheet (adminbar.css) should specify its padding on body.logged-in, not on the generic body tag. In any case, that’s the easiest solution I know of. Just modify adminbar.css (most likely at /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css) on the first line to body.logged-in. If for some reason you have themes that don’t or can’t call body_class(), you can use the is_user_logged_in function to override the BuddyPress styling. Something like: `body#mypage { padding: 0px; } `. Hope that helps, two months later.

Looking back at your question, I see that you were actually asking more generally to start about BuddyPress tweaking a design wether or not the user is logged in. Well, in that case it would be harder to have a one-size-fits-all solution. Sorry if I missed the thrust of your question, but this may be helpful to others.

Sure. There’s one featured WordPress.tv presentation from WordCamp Yokohama. It’s a Japanese site (with English translation), http://loftwork.com, which only used BuddyPress components like Blog Tracking, Activity Streams, Private Messaging and Extended Profiles. Didn’t use Friends, Groups and Forums.
