@fswd looks to me that you need to get updated Custom Community Pro theme. Change to bp-default theme, clear browser cache, and check if behavior corrected … just to make sure that it’s a theme issue.
@wmike1503 wrap your code with backticks (`), the symbol between the parentheses so your code will show up here. I’ve done it for you in your post above.
I’ve just updated codex re child themes some hours ago for BP 1.5.2 https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ so you might have missed the changes required.
1. If you want to make some minor changes, create your child theme folder, create style.css file for your child theme and remember to add Template: bp-default in the header of your stylesheet. Then just start adding in your style changes in style.css file and you’re good to go.
2. If you want a total redesign, you’d need to create a functions.php file as well. You want to remove parent theme’s styles and enqueue your own style (alternative method in updated codex article):
`<?php
if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// You should bump this version when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111223’;
// Register stylesheet of wmike child theme
wp_register_style( ‘wmike’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue stylesheet of wmike chid theme
wp_enqueue_style( ‘wmike’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
endif;
?>`
Hey Quint,
I would have to know which page template to give you an answer. I am fairly new to BuddyPress, but I am pretty familiar with php and html, so I can usually find things. If you can explain a little bit more of what you would like to do, perhaps I could help you out.
@lndlyb4, do you know how this could be done for a specific page template? Some plugins use this generic comment form, so it would be great to tune the greeting per the subject of the plugin’s purpose. Thanks for providing your helpful hint!
@modemlooper,
Perhaps you would consider adding the following features to your plugin:
1. Instead of having a “hard-coded” limit of the last 20 viewers, how about substituting a date range filter; for example, viewers over the past week, month, past six months, past year, all time? (So the aim here is if the site membership is “fan” based; that is, the objective of each member is to market themselves to the membership, then being able to track hits against their “marketing” efforts would be of value). If this could be synced with @DJPaul Achievements, that would be great.
2. Similar to the plugin “Download Stats” download frequency graph, add that but make it publicly viewable without the “viewer” detail.
3. Launching off of number 2 above, add a trend graph for the entire membership offering filtering for the top 100, 500, 1000, 5000 viewed members.
Thanks for developing the plugin! It works great.
@ddean
Any ideas on how to return the current group slug only. not the rest of the hierarchy?
Cheers

Hi,
Many thanks for that.
I’ve copied the default Buddypress functions.php and added the above code. This just results in the site not loading.
From the various articles i have read it would appear that copying the original files from BP-default such as header.php, footer.php etc to the child themes folder and editing them is meant to work. So far, if I make any changes to them it just breaks BuddyPress.
I must be missing something here.
Cheers,
Mike
is this plugin what your after?
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-members-avatar-map/home/
Haven’t tested it, but it seems to do exactly what your asking…
Hi there,
Whenever I attempt to active/install the forum component of buddypress, I get the following error:
Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in /home/m158dea/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php on line 586
The WordPress install was done via Softaculous install script, although I have replaced everything except wp-content and wp-config.php with a fresh download of WordPress (3.3) after reading somewhere that installing via webscript can cause issues. That didn’t seem to help though.
I’ve also tried deactivating all other plugins that I am using at the moment before attempting to active the bp-forums component.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, because this site and demo site testbp.org are running on BuddyPress trunk.
Ummm….sorry, I’m a little confused. It seems buddypress.org and testbp.org have *new* admin toolbars on the front page, whereas my site has an old one on the front, and new one on the back end. Again, is this how it should be?
I think that is the default way that BP works.. (unless you have some addon).. I have found an addon called Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress which lets you selectively create links so that you can make all fields not links except for maybe twitter usernames, or account type, etc.
@mercime this is my .htaccess file:
`# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress`
I dont see any .html here
I was able to resolve this for anyone with the same question. The code to change is in the buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php file around line 644 `’title_reply’ => __( ‘Leave a Reply’, ‘buddypress’ )`
Just change the text to what you want.
Upgraded a site to BuddyPress Version 1.5.2 earlier today (using Custom Community Pro 0.3.5 by Themekraft). We are are using WordPress 3.3.
The drop-downs in widget settings are not opening so we are unable to fine-tune widgetized areas.
Any thoughts?
Upgraded a site to BuddyPress Version 1.5.2 earlier today (using Custom Community Pro 0.3.5 by Themekraft)
The Member & User Profile pages are showing showing ‘Page Not Found’ although all the route pages are correctly set up under the ‘Pages’ settings. The group page is also displaying only partial content.
We had this problem previous with another site and fixed that using the following advice: http://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme
We’ve tried this to fix the problem but no joy!
A confusing part of my theme editor. main index.php is now all buddypress code that seemingly has no residual code from my index before BP. However, my main page is still like my normal main page minus the avatar issue listed above. So if I want to modify my main page code, where do I go for that if it is not the main index.php?
BuddyPress still loads the core CSS you are better off creating a functions.php file in your child theme folder and enqueueing a custom.css file
`function add_my_stylesheet() {
wp_enqueue_style(‘custom’, get_bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) . ‘/custom.css’);
}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_style’, ‘add_my_stylesheet’);`
I agree there @DJPaul.
Justin, the trunk is what you can call a beta lunch of the new version, who contains many bugs. And if you don’t know how to fix small bugs, you will have a lot of errors on your site, and so your users. So my recommendation to you, is to wait for the new release of buddypress.
update: i changed a user’s password as the site ADMIN. that works fine. its just when a user tries to change their own password through the buddypress profile.
Hey all please look at this: http://teamvortex.nl/members/justin-bean/cubepoints/
I’m usin the source by Elegant themes. Can someone write a fix code or something this fix this?
Thank you!
Hi,
I just tried testing out my registration plug-ins and noticed that Buddypress only allows lowercase letters and numbers? Is there anyway to have it support underscores / hyphens / spaces / uppercase letters?
Apologies if this has been answered already – can’t seem to find a way to search these forums.
I have read on this site how to create a child theme – simple apparently.
I have a child theme, activated, with just a css file – this should override the default file. Making simple changes to this, either breaks the theme (tried to change the sidebar width – just made a mess of the page layout) – or, it just does nothing at all.
Are there any up to date tutorials that deal with 1.5 specifically or am I to struggle with this.
Like the look of buddyPress but it appears very difficult to create anything outside the standard template. Makes it rather redundant. I am experienced with css and have built a number of WordPress sites. I have also used Drupal, which currently seems a better bet – at least I can create a template without it falling apart.
Don’t mean to moan, just rather disappointed.
Cheers!
Mike
What versions of bbPress and BuddyPress are you using?
