Do you want to take your question over to WPMU? You can pay for a response over there.

my-columns will have it’s own style.css (as it is a clone of bp columns which has one) and that is where you change the font sizes and colours etc. It will overwrite the css in buddypress default theme. So you could change the font size by writing
`body {
font-size: 14px;
}`
in the my columns style.css file….

You can quite often see what needs to be changed using developer tools built into ie8 or firebug in firefox (and equivalents for other browsers). Firebug has a neat trick of being able to show changes as you make them….

As you are creating a child of bp default your changes won’t be lost when bp default is upgraded… bp columns is now a different theme and if it is upgraded you would need to compare the changes manually…

I actually used this method with bp columns to create the child of bp default I used here

Nope. Just make the changes @aces gave you, and you’ll be ready to edit how you please You’ll only to change the css in your new my_columns theme.

This would take some code work, because neither bbPress or BuddyPress store this information. You would need to hook into ‘groups_edit_forum_post’ and the use bb_update_postmeta() and bb_get_postmeta() to save/retrieve the information. The following will get you started:

`my_update_forum_post_last_edited( $post_id ) {
global $bp;

do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );

$post_id = (int) $post_id;

if ( empty( $post_id ) )
return;

bb_update_postmeta( $post_meta, ‘last_edited_date’, bp_core_current_time() );
bb_update_postmeta( $post_meta, ‘last_edited_user’, $bp->loggedin_user->id );
}
add_action( ‘groups_edit_forum_post’, ‘my_update_post_lasted_edited’ );

function my_display_forum_post_last_edited() {
do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );

$last_edited_user = bb_get_postmeta( bp_get_the_topic_post_id(), ‘last_edited_user’ );
$last_edited_date = bb_get_postmeta( bp_get_the_topic_post_id(), ‘last_edited_date’ );

if ( empty( $last_edited_user ) || empty( $last_edited_date ) )
return;

echo ‘Last edited by ‘ . bp_core_get_user_display_name( $last_edited_user ) . ‘ on ‘ . bp_format_time( $last_edited_date ) . ‘ ‘;
}
add_action( ‘bp_group_forum_post_meta’, ‘my_display_forum_post_last_edited’ );`

Aha just found a solution from Cindy Otty hanging around in Google cache, see below.
It’s only on line 40 instead of line 25 in bp_core_settings now.

—- solution—-

Okies, this problem is now fixed! Half of my issue was I forgot to turn on error display in php.ini so I could actually see if there were any. (Duh.)

So, when I did, voila!

Warning: require_once(wp-includes/registration.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/blahblah/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-settings.php on line 25

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘wp-includes/registration.php’ (include_path=’/home/blahblah/public_html/includes’) in /home/blahblah/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-settings.php on line 25

So, I opened up bp-core-settings.php and took a peek at line 25 to see why it wasn’t including what it was supposed to be and the line says:

require_once( WPINC . ‘/registration.php’ );

So I changed it to:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration.php’ );

And now things are running perfectly. Yay!

I just found the same error! I cannot send messages to users with a dash in their username. The error I am getting is when I try to select that user as the recipient, it shows there name but then also the following errors IN the dropdown:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/tr0421or/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/genesis-connect/lib/ajax.php:541) in /home/tr0421or/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages.php on line 556

I get the same error for other users but message will go thru.

are you using genesis connect by any chance? I have a post in to them about it…

Add the code to your theme’s functions.php.

I’m still new to BuddyPress, so this may not be the best approach, but here’s what I’ve done:

1. Copy bp-default > groups > index.php into your own child-theme (make sure you keep the same directory structure)
2. Open the newly copied groups > index.php that is located in your child-theme
3. Find: “
4. Edit it by adding is_super_admin() to the if expression so it’s “ This is to check to see if user is logged in AND is a super_admin. If true then display the “create group button” if false then don’t.

I am having lots of problems, first noticed that I couldn’t upload a personal avatar, then noticed:
– unable to create a group
– unable to upload new group avatars
– unable to post replies to my forum
– unable to post new topics on forum

Before I noticed any of the above, I did successfully:
– create a default group
– create one post to the forum
– upload images and insert them into a page

It is a new MU site with blogs as sub dirs. I’ve not really lost anything if I start over again, but it would be nice to figure out what is causing it.
I’ve looked at file and folder ownership on the server and all are owned by the domain name. All chmodded to 755 for folders and did try to change to 777 then test, but no joy so put back to 755.

Any thoughts?

I had the same problem when upgrading buddypress docs by Boone. I had to deactivate it to get my comments back in the activity feed

TIs me Love to see it pass and trying out the next version.
