BuddyPress.org

Via CSS – add `body.groups #item-actions { display: none; }`
or
create bp-default child theme and copy over groups/single/group-header.php following folder structure and delete lines 3-21

He’s using the Ultimate Blogging Theme: http://www.ultimatebloggingtheme.com/

@cmubrad – I don’t know all of the details of that theme but the easiest is to install the site wide activity plugin and use a widget in the sidebar.

Buddypress Sidebar! This plugin enables you to have multiple sidebars for Buddypress. Create new sidebars that are unique to each page.

Sure. In terms of WordPress user roles, WordPress cares only about two – admins, and everyone else. Admins can of course do everything, and everyone else can do everything *that BuddyPress provides*.

I will check into what the “blocked” role does, and if need be, I’ll patch BuddyPress. I’ll update this thread later.

You might want bbpress instead

Desha – good question. Paul – thanks for chiming in. What’s confusing, however, is that if I leave the “subscriber” role selected as the default for new users as part of the WP admin panel, a new user can still access the admin panel (and perform the normal Buddypress participation activities also). That said, if I select “blocked.” the user cannot see the /wp-admin console at all, but can still interact with the social/buddypress features …

Could you please provide some insight on why/how that happens?

Thanks again — great plugin!

The easiest is to modify the php files in your theme as well as the css files.

In particular, I modified the /activity/index.php file by removing the sidebar code near the bottom of the file.

“

Blog posts are done by having a template file written without a sidebar also.

Finally, adjust the container and padder css to your liking.

Hi jwack: I’m using S2Member for my membership plugin, and it takes over BP reggie and sign up files in its own way, so I hesitate to respond from my own knowledge. But, I found this video http://wordpress.tv/2010/07/10/sabin-wilson-buddypress-boulder10/ by Lisa Sabin-Wilson that may be helpful for you, in understanding the page structure.

I’m reading her BuddyPress for Dummies now, but I just started and so am still, basically, a dummy;-)

good luck!

It will fit most any theme with some modification to the HTML and possibly CSS. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

I have upgraded to BP 1.2.6. I’m getting the same error above. Any ideas?

@travel-junkie

I mean that if I click the Main Activity Tab it I go to the activity page with “no filter” as the default and a blank Within field. If I select Within: 750Km, it shows me all activity of members (and I assume groups) within 750km. Brilliant.

But, if I try and filter further and just look for blog posts within 750km, it breaks and shows me ALL blog posts. The “Within” filter seems to only work if there is no other filter selected.

also looking

You could probably hide it simply with CSS display:none on those items…or try this plugin that blocks certain activity types. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

Easiest way is to remove all the li links from the header.php file except the home link and wp_list_pages( ‘title_li=&depth=1&exclude=’ . bp_dtheme_page_on_front() ); and then add a sidebar menu widget for any links you need. Next version of BP will use WP menus for the top nav so you won’t need to customize the html.

remove everything from between ul id=”nav”

replace with

<ul id="nav">
                <li<?php if ( bp_is_front_page() ) : ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>
                    <a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
                </li>

                <?php wp_list_pages( 'title_li=&depth=1&exclude=' . bp_dtheme_page_on_front() ); ?>

                <?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>
</ul><!-- #nav -->


the problem for us IS with the theme. we were using the simple wp communty theme which may mean its a compatabilty issue between buddypress and a wp theme. the odd thing is that it worked for the past two months. its not a plug in issue. we could reinstall buddypress and wordpress but we’re afraid we’ll lose all site content.
