Topic: Child theme not working
I’m unsure if this is a BuddyPress issue or a WordPress issue, but I’ve having a problem creating my first child theme.
I am using bp-default, and creating the most basic of child themes with only a style.css to change just a couple of colors, but it’s not working.
The theme shows up correctly on the Themes admin page, with the correct paths to things… when I preview it, the site looks like it inherited the parent stuff as expected, but not my changes.
It gets even worse if I activate the child theme, then the entire site reverts to the default bp-default theme with not only styles missing, but also widget settings, etc.
Any clue as to what might be happening here?

Hi all,
I’m finally up and running with wordpress and buddypress installed a local version successfully but I’ve hit a stumbling block when it comes to showing single categories on individual pages. I can find lots of things when it comes to wordpress but none on buddypress. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Topic: Help with forums set up
Hi Have a live (well kind off) site at http://www.newcastleunitedforum.co.uk – i had some problems setting up the forum with this template from rockethteme (i think the theme has little to do with it but may be wrong). I wanted a normal forum (not groups based) and followed the instructions on the buddypress site to set up. The instructions seemed to work but the link to the forums did not link, just went to the home page.
I tried changing the link etc but nothing seemed to work so i thought i’d see what switching the groups forum on did. and that is how the site is now. Trouble is i think a load of football supporters are going to find it a bit annoying to have to create a group to post something specific, and and its not as intuitive as a normal forum which some will be used to.
If anyone can shed some light onto how i could get just normal forums running it would be greatly appreciated. I have already clicked ‘uninstal groups forums’ (or whatever it said!) but this has not worked.
BuddyPress is trying to be the best social platform available. We’re not about building databases of spammers.
Be assured, we feel your pain and have given/continue to give considerable thought to managing spam content in BuddyPress.
Alright, I’m going to try and break this down the best I can. Assuming blog comments don’t have to be moderated to get posted:
– A user ‘test’ has an account with the email ‘test@email.com’
– Someone who isn’t logged in posts a blog comment with the same email, i.e. ‘test@email.com’
– A new item is added to the activity stream saying the user ‘test’ added this comment, when it wasn’t them.So you could spoof someone if you know their email address and get a blog comment added to their activity stream even though it’s not actually them. I’ve replicated this in my test install, a clean install and on a live site. Running BuddyPress 1.5.4.
@ChrisClayton I’m still working on this
An issue I’ve noticed is that for some reason I cannot find, some activity buttons like add to favorites or comment are not working. For example, if I try to add an activity update to my favorites, it actually sends me to the URL http://mysite.com/activity/favorite/218/?_wpnonce=a067fd9559
I’ve checked and the URL is the exact same one that appears on other screens and the link works just fine (it applies some jQuery, I believe) but on this new page it takes me to that URL which is a 404.
Thank you again
Topic: Uppercase – Registration
I know this has been mentioned before, I have performed extensive search’s.
Now from what I have gathered this was fixed as BP scaled back to WP login/auth system.
I am however still having this issue, I cannt allow my members to register with uppercase lettering. Unfortunately this is a must and using the “name” field work-around just doesnt cut it as the “mention” system works ff the login name.If someone has a fix for this I would appreciate it greatly, BuddyPress is such a great peice of kit and I would hate to have to uninstall it and all of its features over something so trivial
Thanks in advance,
DM
Thanks for the reply!
So I did that… made the copy of the header and sidebar, and inserted those codes to the ends of them. Now it sort of scrunched everything inside of a box without the sidebar being on the right anymore… visit http://www.critterhub.com/forums/groups/ to see what I am talking about.
Did I do something wrong? Thanks!
@modemlooper really glad to read that
