BuddyPress.org

@ danbp – Thank you for your efforts in helping me. What you suggested did not work.
I will explain what caused this problem and the steps I have done trying to resolve this problem based on what you suggested.

I did the following:
1) I edited buddypress.js file and changed the following two fields from 20px to 50px:
`});
jq(‘form#whats-new-form textarea’).animate({
height:’20px’
});`
and

jq('#whats-new-form textarea').animate({
				height:'20px'

2) I added the following to my CSS:

#buddypress #whats-new-options {
overflow: fixed;
height: 50;
}

post update appears with no problems but when I click on the text area to start typing the problem appears again.

What caused the problem is the following custom CSS:

#buddypress button,
#buddypress a.button,
#buddypress input[type=submit],
#buddypress input[type=button],
#buddypress input[type=reset],
#buddypress ul.button-nav li a,
#buddypress div.generic-button a,
#buddypress .comment-reply-link,
a.bp-title-button {
border: 4px solid #888;
font-size: 1.0rem;
}

If I delete the above two lines, everything will be fine with post update button. The problem is more like container or margin, something like that.

Thanks!

If it helps

1) I’m running ServerPress local. But I’m not pulling any random errors with anything else.

Other additional info:

2) Only happens when I’m logged in. No login === no error. That’s got to mean something.

3) I commented out bp_alpha_sort_by_key() in bp-core-functions.php. I then get an error from a call to that function at line 1847 – which is obviously kinda expected. But the original error disappears, which leads me to believe it’s something in that function. That question is, what?

This only week 2 of my working with BuddyPress. I wish I could be more helpful. Dev’ing with DEBUG off isn’t good. But with it on, I keep getting this error, which I can’t fix.

Any thoughts or recommendations? Please? Thx.

Hi @r-a-y and @danp

I created a new ticket as I was told here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5890

I hope that I did the procedure well.

It is a crucial issue for us, who use non-latin characters and hopefully there will be a solution 🙂

I appreciate your time.

Thanks for the reply!
Ok, now I’m really confused. I just want to create a child theme for buddypress, so that I could make changes in it and which will not be overwritten with the update of buddypress. So, what should I do?

Thanks a lot for the hints on this but it seems that either I’m missing something or there’s a bug somewhere.

Turns out that When it comes to learn how are things done I always try to RTFM and in this case I did.

Going further, I’ve moved my css folder containing buddypress.css file to buddypress folder at my child theme as alternative option given at documentation (https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/add-buddypress-styles-to-a-theme/) and no way to have it working.

Thank you very much.

It works with the code for the buddypress.php + inserting the other code:

.buddypress #main #primary {
    margin: 0;
}

.buddypress #main #content {
    margin: 0 9.46429%;
}

via Dashboard / ‘Simple Custom CSS’-plugin.

But there still must be a mistake within the style.css for my child theme folder. It’s content is right now:

/*
 Theme Name:   Reddle Child
 Template:     reddle
*/

@import url("../reddle/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

.buddypress #main #primary {
    margin: 0;
}

.buddypress #main #content {
    margin: 0 9.46429%;
}

But it does not work without using ‘Simple Custom CSS’…
