1) Depends if you’re using the same theme/child theme for both/all blogs. If you are doing so, both should have same styles.

@djpaul here’s what I got so far. I think a couple of these styles are redundant or could be redone with less code. I didn’t mess with the original nav css, that code might be able to be integrated into the drop menu’s css.

/* Menu

ul#nav li.selected:hover > a,
ul#nav li.current_page_item:hover > a,
ul#nav li.current_menu_item:hover > a {
background: #333;
color: #fff;
}

#nav ul {
box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 0;
float: left;
width: 180px;
z-index: 99999;
}

#nav ul li {
min-width: 180px;
position: relative;
}

#nav ul a {
background: #333;
padding: 10px;
width: 160px;
height: auto;
}

#nav ul li a {
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 0px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 0px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 0px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 0px;
}

#nav ul.sub-menu li a {
background: #333;
color: #fff;
}

#nav li.current_page_item a:hover,
#nav li.current_menu_item a:hover,
#nav ul.sub-menu li a:hover {
background: #222;
}

#nav li:hover > a,
#nav ul ul :hover > a {
background: #333;
color: #fff;
}

#nav li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}

#nav ul ul {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

I joined it, and downloaded it – but have yet to use it.. apparently the plugin requires a “phone home” to one of the wpmu dev computers every time someone or some spammer tries to sign up – and you need to have a current subscription to their premium service in order for that part to work… I asked in their forums (as a paid current member) if the other parts of the plugin will still work if I discontinue my monthly paid subscription to wpmu dev premium – and I got no response about that.. so I have yet to install it – as I can not see paying every month for the rest of my life…

there has also been discussion about using the plugin to go through all of your past members and looking for splogers – and apparently it will not work for that – only for new signups…

Right now my hope is that bp-registration options ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/ ) will incorporate some of the tricks from TTC ban hammer ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ban-hammer/changelog/ )and that the buddypress code will actually make it easier for us stop spmmers – right now buddypress ignores wordpress’ ban email domain features – and that just sucks – the bp registration options stops about 80% of the spammers from being able to post – but there is something in the BP code that lets some of them scoot right through, even with hashcash plugin, SI captcha plugin, and the BP registration Options running – buddpress wastes about 3 hours a week of my time simply deleting sploggers… but hey there are new features coming soon right? LOL

Do you have access to the server to check permissions on those folders? Anything out of the norm?

If possible, increase the memory limit in either php.ini, .htaccess, or in the wp-config.php file.

In php.ini
`memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)`
Follow the proper procedures for restarting apache, etc.

.htaccess method
This is in my .htaccess because of file upload limitations in the php.ini as well as memory limits (I use many many plugins).
`php_value memory_limit 256M
php_value upload_max_filesize 55M
php_value post_max_size 55M
php_value max_execution_time 80000
php_value max_input_time 80000`

In wp-config.php
`define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);`

@hnla there was something about BP.org UX/UI in Ninjas forum topic and writeboard, but haven’t read one specific re bp-default. Is that in trac and/or discussed in BP IRC? In any case, count me in

Remove the notice: add “buddypress” to the templatetags in style.css of your theme.

You need to change the permalink structure (something other than the default setting) in your wordpress-settings.

@suman – re: https://buddypress.org/community/activity/p/114823/

If index.php does not exist, copy index.php from /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/ to your bp-columns theme directory and modify as needed.
