Henry, would just like your thought on the following.
I went down a different route with the above, not sure if that is recommended though:

I created a shortcode like so, basically putting the whole new office-index.php into it. Then just put the shortcode into a page called “office” and it looks great out of the box – all formatting etc intact!

See: http://2013d.landwire.net/office/

You can compare all three now. There still all live.

Do you think it’s ok to do it like that?

function lw_office_directory( $atts ) {
	 do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members_page' ); ?>

<div id="buddypress">

	<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members' ); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members_content' ); ?>

	<div id="members-dir-search" class="dir-search" role="search">
		<?php bp_directory_members_search_form(); ?>
	</div><!-- #members-dir-search -->

	<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members_tabs' ); ?>

	<form action="" method="post" id="members-directory-form" class="dir-form">

		<div class="item-list-tabs" role="navigation">
			<ul>
				<li class="selected" id="members-all"><a href="<?php bp_members_directory_permalink(); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'All Members', 'buddypress' )); ?></a></li>

				<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_active( 'friends' ) && bp_get_total_friend_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) : ?>
					<li id="members-personal"><a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_friends_slug() . '/my-friends/'; ?>"><?php printf( __( 'My Friends <span>%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_total_friend_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ); ?></a></li>
				<?php endif; ?>

				<?php do_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types' ); ?>

			</ul>
		</div><!-- .item-list-tabs -->

		<div class="item-list-tabs" id="subnav" role="navigation">
			<ul>
				<?php do_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_sub_types' ); ?>

				<li id="members-order-select" class="last filter">
					<label for="members-order-by"><?php _e( 'Order By:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
					<select id="members-order-by">
						<option value="active"><?php _e( 'Last Active', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
						<option value="newest"><?php _e( 'Newest Registered', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>

						<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) : ?>
							<option value="alphabetical"><?php _e( 'Alphabetical', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
						<?php endif; ?>

						<?php do_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options' ); ?>
					</select>
				</li>
			</ul>
		</div>

		<div id="members-dir-list" class="members dir-list">
			<?php bp_get_template_part( 'members/offices/offices-loop' ); ?>
		</div><!-- #members-dir-list -->

		<?php do_action( 'bp_directory_members_content' ); ?>

		<?php wp_nonce_field( 'directory_members', '_wpnonce-member-filter' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bp_after_directory_members_content' ); ?>

	</form><!-- #members-directory-form -->

	<?php do_action( 'bp_after_directory_members' ); ?>

</div><!-- #buddypress -->

<?php do_action( 'bp_after_directory_members_page' );
}
add_shortcode('lw_office_directory', 'lw_office_directory');

That works ok now. I basically used the page.php template and replaced the whole loop with the page-office-loop.php file contents and saved that as page-office-loop.php. Does still not look like the members page though.

Maybe take a look if you have a minute. One also shows up a search box while the other does not. Strange. I did NOT use <?php get_footer( ‘buddypress’ ); ?> or <?php get_header( ‘buddypress’ ); ?> as the page template already loads some header/footer.

Original – though I took members count out of tab: http://2013d.landwire.net/members/

Hmm, that works the same as the page template approach I made earlier.

The display is rather blank though, no footer/header etc. And I had a typo before in my code, so your approach highlighted that mistake!

Is there a way that I could just use a standard template and “inject” the buddypress members content there. Basically just like a copy and paste of the page-offices-loop.php into the wordpress text editor?

I am receiving mails from other sources i.e mail clients , gmail etc to the mail address, so still unsure whether it’s a wordpress/buddypress issue or server side issue ….

Hi Thanks for the response I have done this but when I re-install buddypress the old settings still show up how do i change to default everything??

Yes! that! Since I know so little about php coding, I didn’t know WHAT to do instead of the choice it gave me or where to look.

1. I understand about the upgrade will overwrite thing. If I put this bit of code in my bpcustom.php file, will it override the original “$avatar_size = ( ‘full’ == $type ) ? ‘-bpfull’ : ‘-bpthumb;” or do I have to somehow negate that first in the bpcustom file?

2. I have this in the bp_core_fetch_avatar:

function bp_core_fetch_avatar( $args = '' ) {

	// If avatars are disabled for the root site, obey that request and bail
	if ( ! buddypress()->avatar->show_avatars )
		return;

	global $current_blog;

	$bp = buddypress();

	// Set a few default variables
	$def_object = 'user';
	$def_type   = 'thumb';
	$def_class  = 'avatar';

	// Set the default variables array
	$params = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'item_id'    => false,
		'object'     => $def_object, // user/group/blog/custom type (if you use filters)
		'type'       => $def_type,   // tinythumb, thumb or full
		'avatar_dir' => false,       // Specify a custom avatar directory for your object
		'width'      => false,       // Custom width (int)
		'height'     => false,       // Custom height (int)
		'class'      => $def_class,  // Custom <img> class (string)
		'css_id'     => false,       // Custom <img> ID (string)
		'alt'        => '',    	     // Custom <img> alt (string)
		'email'      => false,       // Pass the user email (for gravatar) to prevent querying the DB for it
		'no_grav'    => false,       // If there is no avatar found, return false instead of a grav?
		'html'       => true,        // Wrap the return img URL in <img />
		'title'      => ''           // Custom <img> title (string)
	) );
	extract( $params, EXTR_SKIP );

Where do I ‘pass’ thumb or full to it? Or is it already there in this original since I haven’t changed anything yet?

3. If I change the bp_core_fetch_avatar, do I have to somehow change the first 1.’s solution?

4. Should I post this on the other site you found my question on? LOL (Hey, I gave it two days before trying a different site! But got the same guy answering… go figure… LOL)

… and yes, it did use the tinythumb type and it did make the thumb sized avatar fuzzy. I have an avatar for that size. I want it to use it! LOL I want to use ALL my avatars!

@shanebp ty again shane, i still have not had the chance to try this, but im defo gonna get round to it in the next hour lol, so from reading that article i would make a buddypress folder in my twenty twelve child theme then add an activity folder inside it, then i should copy the activity-loop.php from the directory you specified. and then i would perform the edit you mentioned above? is this correct? just making sure im clear on what to do before doing it.

or should i just copy the entire buddypress directory over from \bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\ to my child theme before making the edit?

i havent needed to do anything as of yet with buddypress template files you see as all other edits i have made have been in the functions.php and bp-custom.php

Hey @shanebp ty for your response, i have just woke up and read this and will be trying it in the next hour, i will update you on if this solved my problem or not.

Create a template overload of this file:
\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity\activity-loop.php

i assume by this you mean copy this file over to my child twenty twelve theme and make the edits specified in there?
