BuddyPress.org

== I tried every BP theme that I have and no matter what it still displays the same. … I disabled any plugin having to do with the comments. ==

Then try to deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, not only the ones having to do with the comments, and change to bp-default theme.

== I would like to have to when people click the reply button, the reply form pops up in a lightbox. ==

No plugin available at this time for that kind of pop up.

== I noticed BP only works on the main site and this thread appears to confirm that you can only have one instance of BP correct ==

@Stigmartyr That was three months ago. Since then, there’s http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-css/

Couldn’t this be converted to profiles?

@LPH2005

The plugin only styles the adminbar on the main site of the network. On all sub-sites or blogs, the default adminbar styles are inherited so it will look just like here on bp.org.

@sbrajesh

It would actually be very cool if users could have options to change background image or color, either just in their profile or, click, apply the change to the whole site.

@sbrajesh – Now you’ve done it. We’re cooking up with more feature requests
… add option to change background for groups as well?
Thank you.

@sbrajesh

Thanks. I’ll give those additional snippets a try tomorrow

@mercime, thank you
@naijaping thanks. That is easily achievable. If you are using Bp-default theme, you can use this code in your functions.php
https://gist.github.com/1034872
That should do it.

Thank you @sbrajesh. Just tested it and it’s working as advertised, cool.

@pcwriter
Thanks Patrick. Will sure do that in update. It was something I did in an hour, so could not do much.
btw, you can do your own css section using some code (here is an example)
https://gist.github.com/1034853

just putting that in functions.php or bp-custom.php and you can modify it

@LPH2005

@mercime beat me to it… darn these beautiful days and my bicycle!

@sbrajesh

Nice job… works great! You da man… as usual
Maybe an update could include an option to have the chosen background image stay fixed on screen or scroll with pages?

@mercime

In your case I think it’s impossible.

As I know, you can only make multiple wordpress installation with single login only if you are using a single database. Therefore, if you want there is BuddyPress with a single user credential on each WordPress installation, then it’s only possible if you are also using a single database.

Hi Folks – this thread seems to have answered a similar question. I had BP installed and then just activated WPMU. I noticed BP only works on the main site and this thread appears to confirm that you can only have one instance of BP correct?

Are there any plans to expand that to work with all the sites made with WPMU or is that not something that would work?

It’s because the number of words/characters in the excerpts are not the same. Since you’re using a child theme of premium Genesis theme, I suggest that you get the free support included in your purchase of the theme/child theme and inquire about how to increase/decrease number of words/characters in the featured excerpts. While you’re there, might as well get find limits for the title for featured articles as well since there could be times where your post title would be longer than one line.

An alternative would be as simple as making changes to your stylesheet to set the height of the featured article containers so assuming you’ve got the same number of articles on the left as well as on the right, all will be leveled to same height. In your case, add something like this to your child theme’s stylesheet:

`#content .featuredpost .post {
height: 150px;
position: relative;
}`

`#content .featuredpost .post a.more-link {
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
right: 5px;
}`

Adjust height of `#content .featuredpost .post` to taste.

EDIT – @hnla, here I go again, took too much time to answer the question

@pcwriter ‘s https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/

@BlueInkAlchemist – I would download a copy of BuddyPress and then manually re-upload files via FTP or cpanel, etc. Only activate BP and with the bp-default theme, check if yoursite.com/register goes to default BP registration page.

If you mean reinstalling WP from scratch, then information in DB will not be preserved unless you back up DB and save to your computer.

Did you by any chance, install WP manually or did you install WP via webhost script like fantastico or simplescripts, etc? Those webhost scripts have been the bane of some WP installs which have problems or cannot upgrade to multisite or which get major hiccups making BuddyPress work in their install. In that case, then I would definitely reinstall from scratch and check out the tables I can import from the DB backup I made from previous installation.

ooh, Since the thread was regarding cosmic buddy I misunderstood that. sorry.
Isn’t Randy Candy a child theme of BuddyPress ? If yes, then you won’t need to update much. It should be some simple fix.
