BuddyPress.org

Love the last one @chubbycrow !

Would see a smoothed version on closed topic ! Which looks really awfull actually.

#stars&stripes or #StarSpangledBanner ?
We now have the stripes, where are the stars ? That’s the question… 🙂

I’m sorry too, but i can’t learn you to use BuddyPress and WordPress. I can only guide you. It’s a volonteer based forum, and understand that i can’t offer you a lot of my time.

You asked how to apply at least a background color to the buddy nav.

The CSS code i indicated should go in a file called style.css
This file exist in almost any theme. Open it and copy/paste the code, save and bam, you’re done.

For more explanation about child theme or any other custom work, you have to read WP & BP‘s codex or find some tutorials on the net.

Be also aware that you use a premium theme, which can be difficult for you to find assistance outside of the theme support.

It’s intended so by default.

Try this from child-theme style.css
#buddypress div#item-nav div#object-nav ul li{background-color: #ccc;}

hi,

use the img button, you can insert an url.

Do you use the buddypress menu in wp’s menu manager ?

Hi jwind I did you managed to find a solution as I have the exact same issue… When I turn on Buddypress group and I sm logged in the pagination on the front page stops working however if I disable permanent links pagination works…

Baffled

Remove both the background colors.
Change the text color to black.

In In bb-base/style-buddypress.css:

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta .bbp-topic-started-in a {
	/* background-color: #be3631; */
}

In bb-base/style.css:

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta .bbp-topic-started-in a {
	color: #000000;
	padding: 2px 5px;
	border-radius: 3px;
	font-size: 10px;
	font-weight: bold;
}

Also @skyrant, it’s possible this is just a bug in our implementation, and using WordPress’s add_menu_page() function, which requires a capability be passed into it that is consequently checked on the current site being accessed, and not the root site where the bp_moderate capability is likely to be assigned.

I’ve opened a ticket in our bug tracker to bring a bit more attention to this as a bigger issue, so if you end up creating any patches, go ahead and drop them there:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6175

Hey @ubernaut. All thoughtful consideration is appreciated and encouraged, but your “doesn’t currently exist in buddypress” response was neither, considering @skyrant appeared to already frustrated by BuddyPress not performing to his expectations.

It was also inaccurate, as functions like bp_current_user_can() exist explicitly to enable developers to extend this functionality. If skyrant is unable to make it work, more open-ended questions about the approach will help us figure out what’s not working correctly, be it on his/her end or ours.

And this…

please let me know if you feel like my participation is no longer desired around here

This isn’t the case, and if it ever was to be, never let that stop you anyways. We are all trying to build cool things and improve the world through better open-source community software. It’s inclusive at it’s core. Only twice in eight years have we excluded anyone because of clearly malicious abuse of other members, and it still bothers me to have needed to do so.

Hey @skyrant, project lead chiming in here. Apologies for @ubernaut’s response; it doesn’t come across as very helpful or inviting, nor does it point you in any directions as to where to start building this type of functionality, which is the type of helpful reply I would expect from our forums normally.

You’ll want to look into WordPress’s map_meta_cap filter, and more specifically, our bp_moderate capability checks.

In the old days, we used a bunch of is_super_admin() checks to only allow the type of access you desire to network administrators. This proved to be too powerful an assumption once BuddyPress started working on Single-Site installations, and so we ported (almost) everything to checking for bp_moderate instead.

You could create a new role and grant it the bp_moderate capability. In doing so, any user with that role will have the ability to moderate the entire BuddyPress community.

This also is a bit more powerful than we would like it to be, and in the future we hope to introduce dedicated roles and capabilities all through-out BuddyPress very similarly to the way we did with bbPress. It’s not in the immediate roadmap however, so if this is an area you’re interested in, and want to help us improve it, let’s keep a dialogue going here and see if anyone else chimes in.

Oh i came across this issue in the past when trying out different themes, i cannot remember which theme it was that caused this for me but i did manage to solve it somehow but it was so long ago i just cannot remember, but it was definitely caused with a theme i tried and not buddypress, in the end i decided not to use that theme, so i would suggest finding a different theme first as @mercime said and if its the cause change to a diff theme unless you paid for it of course then make the issue known to the developer for a fix.

I tried to get the register.php from the legacy folder and put it in my own theme folder but it didn’t help.

@alesas If you copied register.php from legacy, then you’d have to paste it into yourthemefolder/buddypress/members/register.php Is that what you did?

edit – codex articles which can help you https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/

Try storing the role selected when registering in user_meta.
Then use that data to actually set the role via this hook bp_core_activated_user
in this file: \buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-functions.php

You can hide it.
Add this to your child-theme style.css

#buddypress div#subnav.item-list-tabs ul li.feed {display: none;}

Basically the same answer, but in the codex.
