@Sean

Are you still having this issue? Everything looks fine when I visit the link you’ve provided.

If this issue is resolved, please set the light on top to green. If not, please answer these questions: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2674

Well, upgrading the JQuery version that the plugin uses is an option, but it’s best to contact the plugin dev and let them now about the issue. Ask them to update their plugin so that it supports BuddyPress.

Hi Sean,

This seems to be a common issue. I had the same thing with my first installation. The system happened to crash when I deleted my original site admin user profile so I had to completely reinstall the 2.7.1 and bp 1.0.1

Anyway, I started a topic on this, https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3181

Burt thought I was trying to modify the look but in reality this seems to be a bug that I believe somehow develops after the installation of some of the plugins. That’s my shoot from the hip thought. I think it has to do with Nicola’s BPDEV plugin set. Sorry Nicola but your plugins have some issues. Not all of them but some of them.

Home themes need to be located in:

/wp-content/themes/

Member themes need to be located in:

/wp-content/bp-themes/

You may need to update your themes to be consistent with the the default BuddyPress Themes that come with v1.0.1.

This may shed some light on the issue:

@Svenl77-

Are you trying to install the BP Skeleton Component on an active site? The reason I ask is that you should use the Skeleton Component for developing your own custom BuddyPress plugins. You use the files, code your own solution, then activate your new custom plugin on your development server and test.

There is no reason you would need to reupload WPMU, BuddyPress, or bbPress. The Skeleton Component will not provide any functionality on your site. You simply use it as a general template for coding your own custom plugins.

Thank you for providing good documentation about your issue!

I just did a quick read through of your issue and will think about this some more, but a few quick questions come to mind to get this dialogue started:

1. Are you using custom themes? If so, what hapens when you switch to the default BP themes?
2. Have you made any alterations to your .htaccess file?
3. Do you have any other plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, have you tried deactivating all of them except the BuddyPress plugin?
4. Although this may not be useful, have you checked your server’s error logs?

Ha! Well that isn’t terribly optimal is it? Since the skel theme is distributed with bp I guess the best place to have this issue brought up is in trac. You found it and the solution. You get the credit and honor of reporting it with a patch.

Same credentials as here if you’ve never been there before.

I don’t know if this mobile framework is working out of the box for buddypress, but the framework behing this theme is really well done. http://mobile.carringtontheme.com

It is not just iPhone, but really mobile oriented with two types of mobile, the ones with a trackpad and the touch ones. Works really well on Nokia Nserie for example and on iPhone and Android.

hi airblastor, i can reply about facebuddy.

you must activate the home theme in order to view it.

for the member theme…go in the admin panel:buddypress and be sure to select it from the menu.

be sure you’ve downloaded the facebuddy version that suits your BP release

Well, that is partially true. bp hijacks the theme root and alters it to point to /bp-themes when it detects an url that belongs to the member theme. Those urls are things that are of the form mysite.org/members, mysite.org/groups …

By default it only does this for the root blog of the installation. Blog id 1.

You upgraded from what ver of bp and what ver of wpmu? wpmu now will not allow theme directory names that have a dash in them. So the non-2.7.1 theme /themes/my-theme doesn’t work anymore. It has to be /themes/mytheme

Same goes for the themes that live in /bp-themes. Did you upgrade your bp member theme and the bp home theme also?

You didn’t leave a link to your site or specify what versions of bp and wpmu you used to be running so I’m just shooting in the dark here.

@Jeff: no I was meaning for Buddypress – whether there were any catches to look out for, or whether a standard WP backup / restore would work

That’s odd. Have you tried upgrading manually?

Ross:

Based on this response to the list of questions,

Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress? No

and the fact that you have installed so many plugins, I’m going to suggest that you go over to the WPMU forums and ask for assistance there. It appears that you are looking at a WPMU problem and not a BuddyPress-specific issue.

You need to contact the plugin developers and ask them if they plan on supporting BuddyPress.

Hey r-a-y,

it seems it was a problem about when you trigger the remove and the add action.

Therefor i put everything in its own function which apllies after every hook is triggered:

// **** Custom BuddyPress admin-bar.css called my-admin-bar.css, stored in template directory ********

function my_admin_bar_css() { ?>

<link href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/css/my-admin-bar.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”screen,projection” />

<?php

$doing_admin_bar = false;

}

function trigger_adminbar_hooks(){

remove_action(‘bp_adminbar_logo’, ‘bp_adminbar_logo’);

remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar_css’, 1);

add_action(‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_custom_logo’, 1 );

add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘my_admin_bar_css’, 1);

}

add_action(‘plugins_loaded’,’trigger_adminbar_hooks’,99);

?>

I’m going to try your solution. Would be great to know how to apply the my-admin-bar.css only when the adminbar is displayed. I’m glad about your solution for the moment, but there should also be a more correct way for the future!

solution found – see thread:
