@modemlooper
Thank you. I discovered that the theme only supports one menu and it created a single menu on top. When I tried to modify the menus already there, the change did not take place after hitting update. I guess because the default theme doesn’t allow the change. I’ll just proceed with making a child theme either way since I am not happy with the blue color of the links of the default theme.
@brotherkomrade9 in the admin, go to appearance > menus and create a custom menu.
Hello.
I have a Buddypress site using buddypress 1.5.1, bbpress 2.0.2, and WordPress 3.2.1.
I am hosting our site on Godaddy. The main files of WordPress are sitting the site’s root directory as to avoid the “/WordPress” in our url.
Anyway my issue is this: we are using the Default bp theme. I know you are supposed to create a child theme to make changes to the theme, so I am trying to find the code of file where I can add a “tab” at the top of the page under the heading along with “Home”, “Forum”, “Groups”, “Members”, that would be titled, “About”. I want there to just be an “About” tab next to the home tab. If I have to make a child theme, where would I make this change OR should I just make a sticky post?

@stjack you mean you had the same plugins, same theme and same BP/WP versions and configuration before you moved to new server with same or better configuration? Then something could have been lost in the migration to new server – import of database or incomplete theme file uploads to server. Have you also tried changing to bp-default theme and check if behavior is corrected?
I won’t be upgrading to the upcoming new version of buddypress for quite some time, so I’d like to find this line of code asap.
Thanks!
Not to seize this topic, but I’m having the same issue – one variance – everything WAS working – until I moved to a new server two days ago. Now the topics that were working, are no longer visible or seemingly, associated to their appropriate Groups.
It seems to not be a plugin conflict issue – AND – @mercime – in my instance – groups are enabled… “groups” and “group” creation are working fine.
Creating new topics? Not working.
See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen
This doesn’t appear to have anything to do with buddypress.
Unless you have installed and activated (or plan to activate) the buddypress plugin you should really ask any further questions on http://wordpress.org or maybe http://themekraft.com/forums (as you credit their themes)…
Did anyone find the problem? Because this is now happening to me as well. Please post if you have any news.
Thank you
Hey guys,
I am not really a coder, so yeah – I downloaded a theme, and found out later that it was a buddypress theme… I am trying to make the site look less bloggy, so I would really like to disable the loop on the front page – so that posts don’t stack on top of each other on the home page. The site can be seen here: http://tryoutthis.site90.com/
Hi,
I am trying to overwrite `bp_activity_add` -function (located in /buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php) with a little modification that I’ve made. It’s basically hiding certain kind of posts from the activity feeds.
Is it possible to overwrite this without tampering with the actual core files? I ran into problems since there’s no usual `add_action()`-hook to it which I could have removed with `remove_action()` in bp-custom.php file and so forth…
Hi,
I am using a themeforest theme that has buddypress baked in – salutation. I have not messed with the achievements templates. (I have managed to bubble up the achievements into the forum though so you can see the poster’s awards)
Is there another way to browse the page to make the picture update?
Can anyone confirm whether the above is standard BuddyPress behaviour? Is editing posts meant to bump them to the top of the activity stream?
How to avoid the modifications asked by the client, made in the buddypress plugins from getting updating via automatic updates. Thanks in advance.
Hello All
I urgently need help exporting my XProfile data to a useable format like CSV.
I tried to use this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-crm-buddypress-xprofile/
But it does not seem to work with the latest version of BP.
Help please!
In a few days I’m updating BuddyPress Verified plugin that will help manage users
I’m wondering how do you guys manage your member’s accounts?
For example, if you have a troublemaker who abuses your policies, how do you ban him?
I know I can ban IP addresses with .htaccess, but I’m not even sure how to view a member’s IP address. I guest that is the best method hoping the user cannot change IP’s easily or know what a proxy is.
I found a BP plugin that records a member’s IP address when they register, but the address may have changed by now and is a useless feature IMO.
Doesn’t WordPress or Buddypress have a feature to effectively monitor and manage accounts besides adding, editing, and deleting?
I see now that if I go in the admin page of site in the FIELDS PROFILE I have the same problem! I have (normal) no name but I have male, 10-10-1996 etc… and I can’ t set any other default value for these fields.
Anyone resolve ?
p.s. I have 970 members and ELIA ROSSI subscribe only today! why ID: 0 ?
I have today the same problem! isn’t a cookie!
I have the always the name ELIA ROSSI in my REGISTER FORM and other fields es. male, 10-10-1996 (date of birth) etc…
I go with phpmyadmin into SQL and I delete ELIA ROSSI (ID: 0)
now there isn’ t ELIA ROSSI in the register form but I have already male, 10-10-1996 etc…
What Can I do ?
bp 1.5 wp 3.2.1
@PeterHatch, @modemlooper, @JaredGoyette, @iamjoshfrank
.htaccess may not be visible via FTP program unless you enable showing of “hidden” files. Morever, to double-check if you have one, go to webhost server’s cpanel/File Manager.
.htaccess file for single WP installs – https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_and_editing_.28.htaccess.29
But going back to your original post, did you go through the Installation Wizard? If you did, have you checked admin menu > BuddyPress > Pages and check that all components are assigned Pages already?
== another theme(travel blogger 1.3.5) i dont see the post button for activities to be updated. also with this theme , bp reports only 4 registered members instead of 10 ==
@onyekat I will assume you’re using this Travel Blogger theme https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/travel-blogger
Just activated the theme in my test install and I see the “Post” button in activity stream (plus all other buttons) and the correct number of members are showing up. But there is a problem I saw so far: although one can post status update in activity stream but comments/replies on an activity stream posts lead to 404 error page.There’s JS conflict between Travel Blogger and BP.
@modemlooper : Great! If you have any spare time I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance here.
WordPress 3.2.1 Multisite
BuddyPress 1.5 (upgraded from 1.2)
Is there a file and a line that contains the number of characters that are printed out in a Status Update in the Activity Stream? I’d like to be able to see and read more of the updates without having to hit the “read more” link.
If so where is it, please?
I’m hardcoding, so the file name and location would be great!
Thanks
