BuddyPress.org

Thank you.

1st:

Besides the different “HTML structure for Reddle and Twenty” Thirdteen I made earlier two fundamental mistakes:

a) I did not recognise, that the comment at the beginning of a child theme must be different, than the comment at the beginning of the parent theme.

‘The only required lines are the Theme Name, the Template.

The Template is the directory name of the parent theme.’

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme

So, within my earlier attempt, step 4th it should have been not:

Theme Name: Reddle

Rather:

Theme Name: Reddle Child

And it was missing there the line:

Template: reddle

Isn’t it?

b) I did not recognise the instruction:

Activate the child theme.

2nd:

However, now the content of the style.css within my reddle-child folder is:

/*
 Theme Name:   reddle-child
 Template:     reddle
*/

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

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

@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
       body.buddypress #primary {
              width: 100%;
       }
}

Is it correct?

Besides I activated the reddle-child theme, and deactiviated the reddle-theme. – Nevertheless it still not works.

3rd:

‘Copy over the content of Twenty Twelve’s full-width.php file into the new buddypress.php file.’

https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/twenty-twelve-theme/

The ‘Reddle’-theme does not have any full-width.php

Therefore I took directly the code, which is mentioned there.

Therefore content of my buddypress.php within my reddle-child-folder is now:

<?php
/**
 * BuddyPress: Full-width Page Template, No Sidebar
 *
 * A full-width template for all BuddyPress pages.
 *
 * @ since Reddle 1.0 and BuddyPress 2.1
 */

get_header(); ?>
 
    <div id="primary" class="site-content">
        <div id="content" class="full-width" role="main">
            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
            <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
        </div><!-- #content -->
    </div><!-- #primary -->
 
<?php get_footer(); ?>

4th:

But nevertheless it does not work.

I tried all of these codes to remove this but non worked!

element.style {
    height: 50px;
}
#buddypress #whats-new-options {
    overflow: fixed;
}
#buddypress form#whats-new-form textarea {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #fff;
    color: #555;
    font-family: inherit;
    font-size: 100%;
    height: 50px;
    padding: 6px;
    width: 100%;
}
#buddypress form#whats-new-form #whats-new-content {
    margin-left: 55px;
    margin-bottom: 50px;
    padding: 0 0 20px 20px;
}

What happens is that when the page loads I see [ post update ] in correct CSS but it becomes hidden under the text area because of the auto overflow; it disappears. When I click on the text area I see what I have provided in the above image! I can’t remove those two arrows beside [post update].

Thanks!

Verifying your questions

I can verify that Account Settings is checked on the BuddyPress Components tab of the BP settings page. Also I can verify that on the Buddypress Settings tab on the BP settings page that ‘Account Deletion’ is checked. I can provide screenshots if that is helpful.

Here is my process of trying to delete:

When I am logged into WP as a non-admin user, I see the user menu in the upper right. When rolling over it, I see the full menu and rolling over the settings menu item I see the submenu with the ‘Delete Account’ option. When I click that I go to a page https://[domain]/members/%5Bmember-name%5D/settings/delete-account/. This is the profile page with the Settings/Delete Account Tab already selected, some warning text about deleting an account being irrecoverable, a checkbox ‘I understand the consequences’ and the Delete Account button. When I check the box and click the button, it just returns me back to the delete page with an unchecked checkbox. No action seems to be taken and no warning appears.

Thanks,
Michael

It works now. But I have no idea, what could be the reason for now working and not working before.

As far as I remember, I have only

— changed the file attributes for the subfolders of the wp-content folder

— installed “More about me”-plugin

and

— solved that problem: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/what-happened-to-these-buddypress-plugins/#post-197321

PS.:

I have no problem to access the BuddyPress Settings within the Dashboard (components, pages, settings).

I can as well access to “Benutzer/Profilfelder” (users/profile fields), “activity” and “groups” within the Dashboard.

Yes, I’ve seen the calculator, but that’s not exactly what I am looking for. I want a feature in Buddypress profile fields, that when a woman puts her child’s age or pregnancy week, she could see week by week development information on her profile page. Many baby web-sites have this feature, I was just wondering if BP has something similar.

Which platform does mention notifications? I do see mentions in the activity log and buddypress does have a ton of notification functionality built in.

Hey Dan,

The number of emails is random.

I disabled buddypress and the emails still sent so I am pretty sure the issue is on the bbpress side. I thought I would check here to see if there was a known issue.

Here is a section of my email log. Random times and counts. No idea what is triggering these. Each message is a mention notification.

@danbp @henrywright i think i have found a solution! took alot of hours searching for this, but i have found some code (function) that adds a new button to each activity allowing you to toggle the comments to collapse and expand throughout buddypress.

I am going to spend some time testing this tonight and will share the fix later if i dont run into any problems with it, maybe this could be made into a plugin? , obviously the credit for this is not mine and belongs to the guy who figured this out, i have just found the code:) and altered it a little, i have it working now and all seems fine i will try it out on a few different themes first.
