I’m running mobile BuddyPress v 1.5.2.3, and would like to have some flexibility in what the mobile homepage looks like. I created a new page called “bp-mobile” which is the basic mobile homepage, however I prefer to shift my menu items to the mobile homepage in a vertical menu format (instead of having to click on the menu button in the upper right of the screen). Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this?
@recruitbk
The problem you’re having is with inappropriate css. Using negative `top` values for every individual element simply pulls the element upwards, out of its designated “space”, while leaving that space blank. For example: `edit-profile-right-column-vertical` has a negative top value of -1019px which leaves 1019px blank below it (where the element would normally appear had it not a negative top value).
A better layout would be to first remove all `position:relative` and `top` values from individual elements in your css. In your html, wrap each group of elements you want to display on the same line in a wrapper div (ex: div#name-wrap). Next, apply `display:inline-block` to each element within the wrapper div. To finish, simply adjust width, padding and margins to get everything nicely aligned. Example below:
`
#name-wrap {
width:100%;
}
#name-wrap #edit-profile-right-column-firstname, #name-wrap #edit-profile-right-column-middlename, #name-wrap #edit-profile-right-column-lastname {
display:inline-block;
width:30%;
margin-right:2%;
}
`
Hope this helps!

By far the easiest solution is to install the Firebug for Firefox addon:
http://getfirebug.com/
Thanks Graphicscove, that worked for me. Now I get an annoying message all the time in the main site admin though: The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums
Hopefully this bug will be squashed with a BP update
I seem to have solved it for now. I changed the bbpress “forums” page to a page other than forums, since that has a potential conflict with buddypress. We’ll see if i can keep it going!
Neomie! I’m having the same problem. I’m not sure what to do, as the only other plugin i have activated is buddypress, but I need to use that one! Any tips? Thanks!
Hi,
I am currently trying to adjust Buddypress to the theme I use, and have copy- pasted the page.php lines to header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php & footer-buddypress.php.
The occuring problem is that the buddypress content appears under my footer and sidebar,
what should I change?

(I´m using the latest wordpress, buddypress and elist theme (Elegant Themes) )
Thanks!
Hi, I don’t know if this has been discussed already, but I have exhausted google search and turned up nothing. Basically, the ‘edit profile’ link in my user profiles leads to a 404 ‘page not found’ error. Considering I installed buddypress for it’s profile integration, this is kind of important!
Is it a simple redirect issue that I am completely overlooking? I also don’t see any of the custom profile fields that I’ve added showing up. What gives?!?
If anyone has any clue how I can approach fixing this, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
@wilsontuladhar you need the latest updated from Brajesh’s GitHub account, look for the link on his tutorial
Is there a BuddyPress CSS guide?
I’m trying to figure out how to edit the font-size of the navigation tabs (activity, profile, quick post, etc.) but I can’t seem to peg them down in the stylesheet.
It could be a child theme problem, try deleting home.php in your child theme and just edit the one in the BuddyPress plugin folder
I’ve seen this question posted several times but with no suggested fix. After I install and activate the Canvas-Buddypress child theme (with Canvas theme installed) installed and activated the Buddypress plugin, I set up the menu and Buddypress pages. When the Registration page menu tab is selected, a registration page doesn’t appear but it takes you to the default home page? The most recent versions are used. Any suggestions? Thanks.
WP3.2.1 , BP1.5.1 , no WP network, no Welcome pack
BuddyPress activity replies only work when javascript is enabled. This is a known issue:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3705
The problem is your theme (and/or plugins) is conflicting with BuddyPress’ javascript. If you check your browser’s debug console, you should see some javascript errors.
Try to nail down where the issue originally came from. It should be a plugin or your theme’s JS that is the culprit.
This isn’t really a BP-related question, but a robots.txt file is usually not necessary; it’s only needed if you want to block certain bots from your site.
More info here:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156449
Also make sure you’re not already using a robots.txt plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/irobotstxt-seo/
You shouldn’t use the members loop if you don’t need it.
A more efficient call is using bp_core_fetch_avatar() and setting the parameters there. (Make sure you use a function_exists() call if you use this approach.)
You can alternatively filter get_avatar() as well using bp_core_fetch_avatar() as well.
“Site one: WPMU, BP, BP Default Theme”
meant to be…
Site three: WPMU, BP, BP Default Theme
I’ve tested this on three sites:
Site one: WPMU, BP, BP Social Theme, s2Member installed
Site two: WPMU, BP, BP Social Theme
Site one: WPMU, BP, BP Default Theme
I’ve also gone through the rick-m-roll of deactivating all the plugins to see if it makes a difference.
No difference… The problem exists on all three sites.
As soon as I add the bp-custom.php file under wp-contents/plugins, the Buddypress menu moves from the Network admin panel to all the admin panels in the network.
Surely this must be an issue pertaining to buddypress or at the bp-custom.php file…?
Or perhaps an issue with my hosting?
Should enable-globals be activated?
The index.php code in pastebin is from activity/index.php and not from your WP theme
In any case, no worries since your page.php code is enough for this project.
Before anything else, open up your WP theme’s footer.php file. Move “ from top of footer.php to just above closing body and html tags like so:
`
`
Many plugins hook into wp_footer and if you have that placed elsewhere, it could cause you problems – layout and other stuff.
To continue with the BP compatibility process:
1. Open up your WP theme’s header.php with text editor and Save > As header-buddypress.php in your WP theme folder.
Open up the new header-buddypress.php file and at the very bottom of the file below other code, add:
`
`
Save file.
2. Open up your WP theme’s sidebar.php and Save > As sidebar-buddypress.php in your WP theme folder
Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the very top of the file before all other code, add
`
`
then at the very bottom of the same file after all other code, add
`
`
Save sidebar-buddypress.php
3. Styling issues – use the style modifications used on BP Twenty Ten child theme and adjust to taste. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
4. Upload all modifications to WP theme in server.
Hi all,
this is really a theme/front end issue and I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have just upgraded my site to WordPress 3.2.1 and BuddyPress 1.5 and made theme changes for it, I am having a few issues (mainly JS issues) – one of them is that when a user is in a group and clicks on “new topic” nothing happens where the user should be taken to the new forum form at the bottom of the page – difficult for anyone to test without being logged in, so if anyone has any thoughts about how I can get to the bottom of it that would be great.
It works fine with the default theme and I have tried switching off all my plugins and that doesn’t change anything, so it’s clearly something in my theme 
@billybragg It’s not showing on @shonr’s page because they are not members of any groups. The group widget shows the groups of the member whose page you are on.
Right now, I’m simply trying to get BuddyPress to fit my container width, the rest of my theme uses #container and #post_content for this – as you can see in page.php
I am using the BuddyPress plugin for this. Thanks for the help!
header.php – http://pastebin.com/NkXBha5r
index.php – http://pastebin.com/90ghgrKL
page.php – http://pastebin.com/kD2Kw8MV
footer.php – http://pastebin.com/VMnd4c96

There’s a second method in above link which you can use for your theme. If you need further assistance, open up your WP theme’s header.php in text editor and copy all code, then go to pastebin.com and paste the code and click submit. Post the generated pastebin.com URL here. Do the same for your WP theme’s index.php, page.php, and footer.php
I have BuddyPress up and running, but now I’m trying to get the styling to match. What file do I need to edit to wrap buddypress in the same container as the rest of my theme?

Hello everyone,
I am running a website with the latest version of BP and WP 3.2.1.
When I submit my website to Google, it shows that my robots.txt is basically empty:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
At the same time there is about 40 pages restricted through robots.txt.
1) How do I edit robots.txt on my blog (I can’t find it in the website folder when I log into File Directory through my hosting).
2) Would you also share examples of robots.txt which would work good with BP.
3) I also want to allow comment indexing on my website. Is this the code to do it?
Allow: */comments/
