BuddyPress.org

Hi @romandaily,

I think the problem is not from css,
your theme is buddypress child theme, or simple wordperss theme ?

Regards,

Sounds like your theme has javascript errors in it somewhere. You’ll want to track them down and eliminate them.

Your questions so far have given me the impression that you’re quite new to WordPress web development (modifying plugin files, not knowing how to debug javascript, etc…) If this is the case, you’ll have a better experience by searching the web for similar problems, and solving some of these issues on your own.

Also, words like “Help!” or “URGENT” don’t actually make anyone help you sooner than anyone else around here. Most volunteers will jump in and help who they can, when they can, — if you appear manic, it decreases the investment someone is willing to make in you, your site, and your topic.

Hoping to not sound discouraging. We’re excited you’re using BuddyPress, and want you to enjoy our community to its fullest.

@romandaily
Not sure what theme your using because of the cropped image but you could try adding something like this to the themes style.css

ul, li {
  list-style-type: none !important;
}

Have you checked to see if these bullets show up when activating Twenty Twelve Theme or bp-default?

You should never modify BuddyPress’s files. There’s no way for anyone to know what you’re doing to them, meaning there’s nothing we can do to help you besides recommend rolling back to an unmodified installation.

As mercime says two posts up, it’s best to ask your theme developer about this as it’s they that have coded a proprietary template system and as such will know what parts need to be in a standard ‘page’ file for their theme to work, we can tell you that essentially your ‘buddypress.php’ file needs to have a ‘if posts while posts loop’ & the_title() & the_content() functions inside it as might be seen in twentytwelve page.php/content-page.php but what your actual theme needs in addition the theme author knows best likely though this would be all the parts you see in news-page.php before and after any content generation sections.

re #3 – that’s only relevant if you go to second link I posted above – used only when you want the different BuddyPress components to have different layouts.

As I pointed above, use first link where you only have to create one file, buddypress.php and your theme developer would be the one who could assist you there as they know their premium themes inside and out.

You need, then, to wait for a fix from the lead developers and/or raise a ticket on one or other of the projects trac system. Copying or mixing files from two different release versions of an app is always going to be something to absolutely avoid really, however there was more detailed fix demonstrated, which involves hacking core files which might be safer short term interim solution and which would be overwritten when a core fix/update is released.

@ericaeide
Have you tested the plugin with all other plugins other than BP and bbPress deactivated because it works pretty sweet for me and I am not just saying it because it is my plugin? When I say deactivate all but BuddyPress and bbPress it means all and not just the ones you choose to leave activated. This is basic troubleshooting procedures!

Am I supposed to create a child theme?

@zerosit Since that is a premium theme, I have no idea whether you could set up a child theme with it. There are themes which are not set up properly for child themes. You should contact theme developer about that.

I gave you two links above. If you want to have the same layout for all BuddyPress pages in your site (easiest route), read the first link. Copy the source code of your theme’s page.php file and paste it to a new file, buddypress.php then make sure that the template tags the_content and the_title are in that buddypress.php file. Then upload that file in your theme’s folder in server.

If your modifications do not work, you should ask the theme developer for assistance in revising the proprietary code so BuddyPress pages will be rendered in your site using buddypress.php

@faramarz let’s start at the beginning, WP/BP versions? Is this a new installation or did you upgrade from previous BP/WP versions? Where are you hosted?

– Did you follow the steps at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ ?

– Try basic troubleshooting procedures like changing to Twenty Twelve theme and deactivating plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and let me know what happens.

The same setting works just fine on my local XAMPP but it doesn’t work on production server.

How did you install WordPress in production server – via webhost’s one-click install or did you install it manually e.g. FTP? If via webhost’s one-click install then you could encounter some hiccups in your production site see https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements

@jianzhi you’re welcome. Happy BuddyPress-ing 🙂

I log in to my admin area I see this message “Go Daddy Quick Setup ™

More than 5 years since I used GoDaddy, when you say admin area, are you referring to the GoDaddy admin area or your WP install’s admin area? If in WP install admin area, then there’s an issue. Otherwise, let’s move on.

I am just trying to fix some issues with it before I launch

I don’t know what aspect of your site was developed by the person you hired.
– Note that your avatar at http://www.techknowledgic.com/members/techknowledgic/ is showing up humongous in Chrome.
– And the avatar under freshness in Forums index page is showing too big.
– Why is #.Ue8yX43rw80 appended to your forums slug when I go http://www.techknowledgic.com/forums/ ? strange.
– Let’s test. Create a new Page named Discussions and place the forums shortcode there. Go to Settings > Forums and change archive slug to discussions. Then go to technowldgic.com/discussions/ and check out your forums

Going back to logging in. I added the bbPress login widget to the sidebar of Twenty Twelve theme and it’s working fine even with BuddyPress activated. What are you using for your users to log in?
