Sorry for the delay in getting you set up for the support forum. It was the weekend after all I’ve already made you a member of the Mapology group. Please post your questions over there. Thanks!

Hello,

extended profiles is enabled. I am using the default buddypress theme. I have permalinks set to non-default. Does it have anything to do with my blog not being my main page (instead of pangeastable.com it is pangeastable.com/my-palate). I’m thinking it may have something to do with the permalinks but I have no idea where to begin correcting this. I’m using yahoo hosting so you can install wordpress through our yahoo admin center. I also tried installing wordpress manually and ran into the same problem.

@modemlooper

Thanks for the suggestion. I had looked at some grid frameworks, but didn’t want to go that route for this theme. I’m keeping it in mind for future projects though.

@bowromir
Bingo! Silly me and my thick head I was working with fixed-width sidebars. Percentages didn’t even occur to me for them. Your suggestion got me going where I wanted to go with my fluid theme. Thanks a bunch!

I final got what I was looking for. Here is the code if anyone wants to try it or use it. Paste it in the functions.php of your child themes. What it does is removes the orginal function for the “My Blogs” link in the admin bar and I then made my own function that calls that original function only if the user has a blog. Thus anyone that is just a subscriber to the site will not see the “My Blogs” link in the admin bar (to confuse them).

/* Removes the function from the buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php file in buddypress plugin*/
remove_action(‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_blogs_menu’, 6);

/*reset the “MY Blogs” link function so that it only shows for users that have blogs and not subscribers*/
function bp_adminbar_mynew_blogs_menu() {
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() || !function_exists(‘bp_blogs_install’) )
return false;

if ( !$blogs = wp_cache_get( ‘bp_blogs_of_user_’ . $bp->loggedin_user->id . ‘_inc_hidden’, ‘bp’ ) ) {
$blogs = bp_blogs_get_blogs_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id, true );
wp_cache_set( ‘bp_blogs_of_user_’ . $bp->loggedin_user->id . ‘_inc_hidden’, $blogs, ‘bp’ );
}

echo ‘
loggedin_user->domain . $bp->blogs->slug . ‘/”>';

_e( ‘My Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ );

echo ‘‘;
echo ‘

    ‘;

    if ( is_array( $blogs ) && (int)$blogs ) {
    $counter = 0;
    foreach ( (array)$blogs as $blog ) {
    $alt = ( 0 == $counter % 2 ) ? ‘ class=”alt”‘ : ”;
    $site_url = esc_attr( $blog->siteurl );

    echo ‘
    ‘;
    echo ‘‘ . esc_html( $blog->name ) . ‘‘;

    echo ‘
        ‘;
        echo ‘
        ‘ . __( ‘Dashboard’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

        ‘;
        echo ‘
        ‘ . __( ‘New Post’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

        ‘;
        echo ‘
        ‘ . __( ‘Manage Posts’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

        ‘;
        echo ‘
        ‘ . __( ‘Manage Comments’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘

        ‘;
        echo ‘

    ‘;

    echo ‘

    ‘;
    $counter++;
    }
    }

    $alt = ( 0 == $counter % 2 ) ? ‘ class=”alt”‘ : ”;

    if ( bp_blog_signup_enabled() ) {
    echo ‘
    ‘;
    echo ‘root_domain . ‘/’ . $bp->blogs->slug . ‘/create/”>’ . __( ‘Create a Blog!’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘‘;
    echo ‘

    ‘;
    }

    echo ‘

‘;
echo ‘

‘;

}

/*checks to see if the logged in user has any blogs. Saves the array values to $blogs and then saves the blog count to $blogcount. The IF statement then will be true if the value is 1 or more thus showing the link in the admin panel for the “My blogs”*/
$blogs = bp_blogs_get_blogs_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id );
$blogCount = ($blogs);

if ( bp_core_is_multisite() && $blogCount >= 1){
add_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_mynew_blogs_menu’, 6 );
}

If anyone has a better (cleaner) way to do this please I would love to see it. I am just in the early stage of learning php so any help would be great. Thanks

@gunju2221 Yeah that’s what I’m looking for. Right now I have my members using mentions to get “notified” on the site. I wonder why it is only for messaging and other functions and not replies. Oh well, hopefully there will be a plugin for it soon.

Solved it. Buddypress would not recognise BP-TinyMCE

Please help!! I am lost. I’ve tried messing with everything I imagine would effect the sidebar widgets..specifically geared towards the buddypress. like i said i used the buddypress template pack. Please help.

yeah i did visit the permalinks and updated it, still no luck.

force a flushing of the cache in permalinks? How do you do that? And what do you mean by definitely write to the .htaccess?

I activate orginal theme from buddypress and ………..
http://awesomescreenshot.com/05b3zo315 other idea ?

I didnt do a fresh install, what I did was transfer all the files from public_html folder to my computer and then transferrred it over to my new server via FTP. I then edit the wp_config file to fix the sql connection info. The front page loads up properly but all the links to any other folder like /members, /groups, etc end up with a 404 not found error.

I deactivate all plugins (not only from buddypress) and nothing.. now i wil try to recreate template files

Thank you for the fast reply. I have installed the BuddyPress Template Pack, which updated the template so it could use the Buddypress.

I am paying for the hosting, it is the basic Windows hosting at Domain.com.
