BuddyPress.org

Actually just wrap notice check in if class because bp_include won’t run if bp isn’t active.

add_action( ‘bp_include’, ‘private_community_for_bp_lite_init’ );

function private_community_for_bp_lite_bp_check() {
    if ( !class_exists( 'BuddyPress' ) ) {
	add_action( 'admin_notices', 'private_community_for_bp_lite_install_buddypress_notice' );
    }
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'private_community_for_bp_lite_bp_check', 999);

Hi @darrenmeehan looks interesting. Is this like cubepoints vote it up module? where users can like or vote on posts, comments, etc.? can you provide a screenshot?

You can also wrap everything in a class. Look at bp-loader.php to get an idea of how to do that. I’m guilty of not following the best way out of laziness but I always go over my code and try and perfect as much as possible. I look at how BuddyPress core code is written and look over others plugins that I feel are doing it right.

@pewee123
Dashboard/Settings/General and beside Membership check the box that anyone can register.
Note:
This setting really should be checked before installing BuddyPress because if not it will not automatically create the register and activate pages upon activation.

@number_6 Only the 5 widgets listed at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/buddypress-widgets/ are the BuddyPress defaults. Could you please clarify what you mean by the community navigation widget? Member navigation in WP Toolbbar perhaps?

@disqusnow Please do not post in more than one forum on the same topic. Closing this topic for original post https://buddypress.org/support/topic/excessive-vertical-gap-in-buddypress/#post-167184

@disqusnow the large vertical gap is caused by the style applied to the container of the group avatar and group admin/s avatar. To correct the issue, add the following at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet:

#buddypress div#item-header {
overflow: visible !important;
}

i am also a newbie but if i am not mistaken the theme you have selected is not buddypress compatible(only wordpress)- and you may encounter even more difficulties later is it possible to change theme?

You don’t edit the dashboard BP pages, they are simply placeholders for BP, you mention the BP codex did you not see this page? :
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

That should help.

Mika and John were just pointing out you didn’t need to load that extra file to check for BuddyPress. The code you were using has been copy & pasted over the years from some early plugins.

See answer of @shanebp , or use the shortcodes, as explained http://www.s2member.com/kb/simple-shortcode-conditionals/

@disqusnow WP/BP versions? Theme used? Change to Twenty Twelve, is the issue resolved?

	require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/private-community-for-bp-lite.php' );

	echo '<div id="message" class="error fade"><p style="line-height: 150%">';
	_e('<strong>Private Community For BP Lite</strong></a> requires the BuddyPress plugin to work. Please <a href="https://buddypress.org/download">install BuddyPress</a> first, or <a href="plugins.php">deactivate Private Community For BP Lite</a>.');

See this link http://www.s2member.com/kb/s2member-conditionals/ it explains how to get the conditionals using PHP, since I do not have s2 installed can’t get them for you

Did some more reading for ya.

try if (current_user_is("s2member_level1")) { echo "Woohaa got LEVEL 1" ; }

and or echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL;

To see the output of that, you can either put that in your theme/functions.php or i would say bp-custom.php in dir /plugins/pb-custom.php i saw that simular code of yours on stackoverflow.

Not sure what you are tying to accomplish with that s2, but the issue is probably not that piece of code, but more trying to get the right levels.

That code all it does, is checking usernames, so if username is “fred” it will remove the bp_core_record_activity but not according to levels. You need to figure out a way getting it to print out the levels. and then do a if or else statement per level.
