@rcichetti I would recommend that you download another copy of the bp-columns theme and re-upload to your server. The theme’s not rendered correctly in your site right now – something got lost in download or upload of the theme and that’s most probably what’s causing the lack of adminbar in your site.

Thank you Jose and Patrick for the kind words. Since I checked the forum here today and to my surprise found the topic I thought I would clarify.
@migraine. no, this plugin does not support categories inside group forum. It rather allows a separate forum(but coupled with BuddyPress), so It is not what you are looking for. It allows to have independent forum/subforums etc, but does not add multiple forum within the group.

You can also try this way/hack, check it out: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/css-for-member-page#post-78398

do you have template pack installed???

You shouldn’t really need that put again if you have a child theme for buddypress.

Nope, havent used it.
But I would expect top notch assistance from its developer @sbrajesh, he always provides lots of help in his website.

@migraine

Global Forums works extremely well, and the support community at BuddyDev is very helpful. The small subscription cost is well worth every penny.

I think you would have to go into buddypress it’s self and change the css.

I was able to do a fair amount of style customization to BP but I’m using custom theme designed to work with bp so not sure how others would go about it.

That being said you might want to give this plugin a look and see how it does things and then adapt and aplly to your own needs.

Re: BuddyPress Sidebar
I can make it display things on blog pages, but how do I make it display things on normal static WP pages? I have checked the Show Component & Action thing in BP Sidebar but that doesn’t seem to help.

Sounds a-lot like this topic: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/how-can-i-put-a-next-button-in-the-edit-profile-section/

Look at the $bp global, at the `$bp->loggedin_user object`, which contains the ID, URL and name of the currently logged in user. `$bp->loggedin_user->domain` is what you are looking for.

Nothing has been changed in bp-default theme from Buddypress 1.2.7 to 1.2.8. You can see changes have been made only to core files here:
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftags%2F1.2.7&old=3570&new_path=%2Ftags%2F1.2.8&new=4078

If you’re unsure about updating, keep a copy of BP1.2.7 handy so you can revert back to it if anything breaks

I’m looking for the same, I have a table or a list with firstname, lastname and email. Now I want to import this list to WordPress/BuddyPress and WP/BP sends every one of these new users a welcome email with their random generated password… Is that possible? I have tried a couple user import plugin… but none of them worked really well.

Best to contact @apeatling directly and ask, yes.

hey @randomdude – I found this; haven’t used it myself yet, going to add it now. I’ll let you know how it goes.
