Thanks folks, so far so good. I moved the tabs over fixed the background but I still have four fixes I need to do;
Here is an updated screenshot;
http://www.longislandmartialarts.org/screenshotbuddypress.jpg
#1 FIXED – By fixing the background graphic I exposed a rounded corner that I need to make straight. FIXED!
#2 I want to get rid of the search field in the header
#3 The white border from the content page extends past the sidebar. I want to get rid of that
#4 The text seems to be forced over by the avatar (upper left) is there a way to flow the text around that? It looks goofy with the big gap on the left side of the page and it’s waste space.
#5 Not illustrated, I’d like to move the avatar in the side menu under the Advanced text widget.
Again thanks for the help. I’ve been over to wordpress.org and help over there is scarce. Nice to see you folks willing to help out a newbie.
Hi Andrea,
Thanks for stickin with my questions here 
I do understand that single wordpress only has one blog. What I don’t understand is how to display that one blog to users.
on my buddypress (single wordpress) install I have the homepage showing the activity feed rather than the it showing the latest wordpress post. When I have this the blog seems to disappear entirely.
Can you tell me how I would create a tab (called blog) that would show all the blog posts instead of showing just a page I titled blog. I am a little lost on how to get the single blog showing up for users to easily find in the navigation.
I hope I made sense. Thanks Andrea.
BTW – Love your blog on WPMU – you have a lot of great tutorials and info. Great stuff.
That’s my question as well – works in the default theme in 1.2 except on the buddypress generated pages. Sadly, I’ve had no luck uncovering the right logic to use!
Hi Travel-Junkie!
The checkbox to indicate acceptance to the terms of service is exactly what I want to do.
However, I am a total noob in understanding the programming involved (like “actions”) for example.
Do you have a recommendation? Should i look for a plugin for this?
Or a link where the concepts you refered to are more easily understandable by me?
(sorry, I’m a recent “ning-orphan” trying to find my way around Buddypress)
To get rid of the title, go to your stylesheet (.css) and find #header h1
add
display:none
And the title will disappear.
A couple tips:
1. Use Firebug or Google Chrome’s built in developer tools to troubleshoot style issues
2. Use a child theme (search Buddypress Child theme) or you will lose your changes
Hi Warut! Also I notice the “featured casinos” I have on top sidebar doesn’t work on gifts area I think it having some kind of css name conflict? Thanks for info on image & link I’ll try this
AWESOME! Thanks guys! I should have known that the problem wasn’t with Buddypress. I guess I’m gonna have to go through my plugins carefully when reinstalling. Hope I didn’t waste too much of your time with this.
@asaubota gift not display is same bug with pandragon.
user click many time because i not disable button after click , about this i will use simple redirect page to same page so user can not click many time (in first, i will disable button and insert activity stream with ajax so user not have to refresh page but it have a lot of think to work)
@pandragon i already received error about difference username and login name and think it will fix in next upload.
your first post, specify url to the image? what do you mean? Is it add a link to and image that show on activity stream? for that you have to add URL field in bp_gifts like
gift_url varchar(100) NOT NULL
and edit function bpgifts_sendgift_updatedb() in bp-gifts-ajax.php
and add url in $content = ‘<img class=”gift-image” src=”‘. $_POST[‘gift_path’] .'” />displayed_user->domain.'”>@’.$bp->displayed_user->fullname.’ ‘.$_POST[‘gift_message’];
… many place to edit
ps. your web look good
So, to confirm, you’re running BP 1.2.3 and WPMU 2.9.2, correct?
Could it been that I have too many plugins and it’s slowing down the system???
At this stage I would assume it is being caused by a plugin conflict or an out-of-date plugin. The first action to take is what I detailed in this post:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/dashboard-failure-when-activate-buddypress#post-49572
If WP/BP works when running in the barebones configuration, then you can reasonable assume it is either one (or a combination of) your 3rd-party plugins or your custom theme (if using one). So, follow my instructions in that post to figure out which plugin is causing the issue. Once you’ve determined that, contact the plugin author and ask for assistance.
By the way, before installing and activating any plugins or custom themes, you should check to make sure that they are compatible with the versions of WP and BP you’re running.
It’s the most recent version…. great…. when I was checking for the version, I got this error message (same as last night when this problem first occurred)
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Oh ok it looks like if the profile name is different to the user name it doesnt show up
see here pan profile name same as user name http://www.pandragon.com/members/pan/gifts/
here henry has his name in profile and username is different http://www.pandragon.com/members/hbrennan/gifts/
@warut, gifts are sent and its shown in activity stream but in users profile page no gifts. and problem with send button. users click many times
@warut I am having some issues myself, I installed buddypress gift plugin
It works in activity feed see here admin gives reddog a gift “http://www.pandragon.com/members/admin/” here is gift area for him “http://www.pandragon.com/members/reddog/gifts/”
Can you join and help see what problem is perhaps? 😮
Also How can I edit it so that I can specify a url to the image? For instance I want to make a series of casino chips with codes on them and give them as presents which will be free $25 casino chip etc so would need to have the url with the image so when they click on gift it goes to landingpage for that gift
Sounds like an old problem, one which I haven’t heard in a while.
What version of WPMU are you running?
And you can also run buddypress on WPSA (stand alone).
@viau5-
Your issue is different than @ash11. Please start a new thread. You can simply copy what you have written here and post it into your new thread.
I think it’s yahoo problem because we don’t have access to .htaccess file and they cannot change it for you …. I guess the choice now is either to change host or try to figure out something else
I think I may be having similar issues. I had to move all my plugins out of my folder because my entire WordPress had crashed and I was getting nothing but a blank screen. (it seems like it was continously cycling through the plugins.php file) I got my site working again however, I dowloaded a fresh version of Buddypress and still the same thing. I really love this plugin and I want it back!
I have not heard of any issues with load-scripts.php–at least when using the default theme just with BuddyPress and no other plugins.
Let’s back up a little too learn more about your setup. Please answer these questions: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support
After uploading and enabling BuddyPress, the menu gets displayed underneath the dashboad tab.
None, as yet!
I think I found a bug — the indicators don’t seem to be working properly in the /root/groups/groupname/forum/ listing of threads, just on the main forums list (at least for me)…
Hi
Have tried that, found similar suggestions and tips at different forums.
Right now I degraded BP from 1.2.3 into 1.2-rc just to test and voila, the problem vanished.
Could it be something in 1.2.3 that disturbs load-scripts.php?
Thanks for answering!
Thanks again for this — it was a user request literally just a few days ago.
No problem – I had already coded it, but your request inspired me to turn it into a plugin.
What code are you using to pull “X Posts Since Last Visit”?
Along with disabling all plugins except BuddyPress, make sure you are using the default theme that comes with BP.
Distilling your environment down to the least common denominator by testing with only BP enabled and the default theme is the way to determine what is going on. If the dashboard works without issue once you’ve done that, then you know it must be another plugin or the theme you were using. To figure that out, you add one item back at a time. Enable one of the 3rd-party plugins and test. If everything is fine, enable the next, and so on.
Do you have any other plugins enabled?
