BuddyPress.org

@andrewteg:

I was referred to this thread by a moderator to help me figure out how to bypass the group admin page. What I’d like to do instead is have the users go directly to the forum page after clicking the link for a specific group on the group directory page. I am not clear though how to actually make this happen based on the discussion above though. Could you assist in this modification as well?

Thank you in advance.

BuddyPress must be in: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

It looks like you’ve put it in wp-content/plugins/1.5-beta-3/

Hm. I guess if I were you I would start with my child theme’s javascript. Look for something that would activate when a dropdown is changed, possible using the jquery method .change. At the very least, try disabling your child theme’s javascript (just comment it all out for a moment) to verify that that’s where the problem lies.

As it stands, it appears that this is *not* a BuddyPress problem, but is related to your theme – but more investigation on your part will make this clearer.

@modemlooper, maybe it’s there as a placeholder for future functionality? IMHO at the moment, providing a “template” option across all Pages (incl. Component pages), is somewhat misleading.

So given your last post, are you saying that I could hide the sidebar through code in my child’s style.css? If so, how would I do that? If not, which files and how should I do it? I can figure out how to change the width on the “content”, so that shouldn’t be an issue. Sorry about asking so many questions. I am still pretty new to this. Thanks.

FYI: I’m running BP 1.5 Beta 3

Wow, that is a very strange issue. Have you tried clearing your browser cache entirely? It’s possible that there is some rogue javascript in your cache (which may be related to BuddyPress or may not) that is causing this bizarre behavior.

FWIW I can’t reproduce this, with the same setup (except Snow Leopard instead of Lion, but I can’t imagine it’d make a difference.)

Yes and no. I’m doing something similar by configuring/hacking buddypress within my own theme. I used the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin to get the pages I needed but it’s a lot of editing from there. And I think that the S2Membership plugin will further the control by you if you want to make certain parts of the site public and other parts private.

I think BuddyPress is designed to take over a site, not sit side by side. Although that is what I’m trying to do.

I’m fairly proficient at hacking WordPress and I’m still running into roadblocks with configuring BuddyPress.

Asked and answered at WP.org forums

I’ve upgraded to W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.4, which has recently become available, and this seems to have fixed the problem.

I’m just giving it a cautious thumbs-up for now because it was an intermittent problem before and maybe I’ve just been lucky. But so far, so good.

Thank you @qrahaman

@dains, your enclosed link no longer works. The following should:

@mercime, thanks for confirming. I’ve placed the ticket.

Hi Mr. Zen,

Where will we add this php scripts? Thanks.

@tommyhoang, the major benefit of creating a child theme is so that when the parent theme gets updated, the customizations that were made won’t be lost. The child theme’s style.css is where the CSS customizations are being defined. That’s where you would have styled the header.

By the way, the child theme’s style.css is intended to override the targeted styling in default.css which resides in the parent theme. I’m new at this but I don’t see the purpose of you creating a default.css for your child theme.
