3. if i need to tweak buddypress css then i need to copy buddypress.css into my theme’s css folder (create folder if not any)
4. is that right ?

Marking this topic as resolved

Fee,

Can’t access it that way either. I’m pretty ignorant as far as hosting/servers are concerned, but could that be the problem? The IT guys for the company I work at put up this test site on our server and I’ve noticed that the error I get from your method (appending /create/ to the URL) is the same that I get when I try to access any of the links in the upper right-hand corner menu from the site itself (where it says “Howdy, Andy!”) – Activity, Groups, Settings, etc. I immediately get an HTTP 404 Error “The page cannot be found.” Additionally, I noticed there is no fourth “Forums” tab in my Settings –> BP menu.

My IT guys keep telling me that I need to run some “more trials” before they’ll get involved, but I can’t really do much while I can’t even figure out how to create a group!!

Can you give me some ammo here? Do I need to push these IT guys around to get an IP address set up or something? I really just need to start studying here, don’t I? 😛 I have no idea what I’m doing here so any advice would be great. And like Ron, I definitely won’t forget to return the favor someday. 🙂

This isn’t really a BP issue, wp_nav_menu works fine you have to look at your rulesets to see what changed from one point to the next and adjust styling, quite why you experienced the change I’m not sure but essentially bp has little do with the custom wp menus other than you adding say a top level link for bp dir pages. As always in respect of mention of plugins disble them to troubleshoot, in this instance a plugin to manage drop down rules seems unnecessary, write the rules directly for the nav menus.

Thank you for your interest. I’m about to launch a Kickstarter campaign to raise the money needed to fund the last phase of the project. It’s about 70% done. For the enthusiastic people who back me will receive a free copy of the premium version along with one year upgrade and support.

I’ll post some images of the plugin ASAP also a link to the kickstarter page.
I would really appreciate you guys spreading the word through FB, twitter and word of mouth to get the buzz going.
BuddyPress deserves a powerful, highly customizable profile search form. Buddypress is meant to bring people together. Ironically it doesnt do a very good job at helping members of your site connect to one another. The rather simplistic search engine that comes with BP just doesnt cut it for most buddypress site users.

BuddySearch is COMING!

BuddySearch – Searches done right.

Good stuff, marking this as resolved then.

I have pretty much the same problem, I click “upload image” and it takes me to a white screen. Then I can go back a page and it shows my image as loaded and I can continue with further steps to create my group….so what on earth is going on?

Can’t believe how buggy buddypress is….

I don’t know this theme – did you asked for help at theme forest, yet? (If not please do that)

Your theme imposes rather generic styles on li elements in the content areas under a parent class of ‘shortcodes’ This is conflicting with the BP object nav li elements forcing them  to 100% width.

In your themes stylesheet you’ll need to try adding something like:

<code>

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li {
    width: auto;

}

</code>

Other than that it’s a case of using that top level id #buddypress to further style BP elements in what ever stylesheet is applicable using tools such as firebug to identify the rulesets and their selectors that BP has already set.

Hi Ron,

first of all thanks for the compliment including me into ‘BP Folks’. So, I’m not part of the BP team (not yet…), I’m just an advanced user and dev for my own clients.

There were big changes in the last development versions (both bbPress and BP) and the documentation is not up to date. The devs put most of their time in developing the features – it would be great if some volunteers would come up, advanced users, to complete the documentation (that’s a lot of work, too). Everything you find here is done by the devs and the community (including folks like you) and offered for free. Maybe you can keep this in mind when you are more experienced in a few month to please come back and contribute something to the community as well. Like answering here in the forums, writing documentation and so on 😉

To answer your question: On the bbPress settings page you can change the slug for the forums. If you didn’t change it, it’s ‘forums’ – e.g. yourdomain.com/forums/
So go to your menus, set up an own menu, include a Link to Forums, save this menu to your primary navigation.

all I see on the nav bar is Home, Activities, Members, Sample Page. Nothing about groups or forums.

Did you activate ‘User Groups’ in the BuddyPress settings?

glad to hear it worked for you fyi as i mentioned before its not yet fully compatible with 1.7 according to what I’ve seen.
