BuddyPress.org

I want to assign my Site Tracking to a different page.

@km-schafer-1
1. wp-admin Pages > Add New and title it “Sites” then click Publish
2. wp-admin Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and assign the new Sites page to site tracking

Also, every time I create a new site, when I click on it, I am taken to another installation of WordPress.

Something’s gone awry with your multisite installation. Did you follow instructions at https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network ?

At this stage, deactivate BuddyPress then create a subsite. If you are still being redirected to another WP install, please post the issue at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Please make sure that your multisite issue is resolved before re-activating BuddyPress.

@patrykos360 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap – 8 more tickets at this time for BP 1.7. Yes, you will no longer have to edit the BP template files.

You can test BP 1.7 out by downloading trunk version via:
SVN – svn co https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ OR
ZIP file – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk then click on “Zip Archive” near bottom of page and download to computer hard drive. Rename the zip folder from trunk-xxx to buddypress before uploading.

@jackalo9 Open up BP Template Pack plugin’s bp.css file in your server wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack/ and replace all styles with http://pastebin.com/BKW3ZD8r and adjust to taste

They tried to help me resolve it but couldn’t figure out how to override the white out of the submit button.

@jackalo9 Strange, I would have imagined that the theme author would have been able to help you out. What theme are you using? Site URL? You can override any style coming from bp.css at any point in your own theme’s style.css file.

hi ronnie @jackalo9,
there is probably a css/js conflict somewhere. Update your BP first and see if things goes better.
At this time, you use an old version of BP or at least an old bp-default theme !

Your page source code indicate this:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress//bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js?ver=20110818

On BP 1.6.4, you would have this:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js?ver=1.6.4

Notice also that there is an error in your path to the global.js: double slash between buddypress//bp-themes

Not sure if this issue is an error or normal, when using the template pack plugin.
That said, the problem is not BP, but the template or something you did to fit wp-bold106 with BP 😉

Per check in theme’s product page at TF, the theme has not been updated since October 12, 2012, so the code hasn’t changed by then. This means that the instructions posted last October 2012 still stand and it worked before.

At this point, I recommend either you wait for BP 1.7 where BP Template Pack is no longer needed for BP template files, or contact the theme author for support and point the author to the post with the instructions.

Hello Mercime,

Hopefully you some time to look a this.

I already have a process that registers new users, sends out the welcome email, etc. So, I don’t really want to install the Welcome Pack plugin. What I really need to change is the prefix of all BP email subjects to look like all the other emails that get sent from WP and elsewhere.

Currently BP emails looks like:

[Blog name]

For example:

[example.com] New message from user01

What I would like to do is change all subject prefixes to something fixed. eg.

fixed-string-1-here [fixed-string-2-here]:

For example:

Example [BuddyPress]: New message from user01

I found the topic below in the BP forums which suggest adding a filter, but it’s almost 2 years old, and doesn’t seem to work. I added the function to my bp-custom.php, but it had no effect.

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/blogname-at-the-beginning-of-subject-lines/

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks!
Mike.

Thanks for the advice, but if I knew how to fix it myself I would do it

Too some extent though you will need to get comfortable doing some basic work with code it comes with wanting to customize things I’m afraid.

The template pack guides are how things ideally need to be to work, if there are errors in files after following instructions it may well be down to the user to figure those out such as incorrectly copied code, missing tags etc.

How did you manage to move the menu item to another location besides first or last? @modemlooper, that link to your plugin is not working anymore. I tried Buddypress custom profile menu but I am not using the Top Menu.

I am a rookie and I use buddypress when you guys completed everything and this time I wanted to join you by uploading trunk but I was unsuccessful it failed and got this messege: Warning: require(/home/mpendeji/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress//bp-core/bp-core-wpabstraction.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mpendeji/public_html/wp-content/plugins/trunk/bp-loader.php on line 393

@patrykos360 that template pack instruction for Continuum was made in October 2012 and it worked out very well for the person I helped out. The code may have changed since then. I opened the pastebin.com links you posted for page.php, sidebar.php, etc. to double-check the code but your pastebins do not have any content.

Sure. Not everything’s out of the box so one can only be limited by skillsets and server.

@mtruletecb

Can you also list the plugins you have installed?

It’s the CSS in your theme that is causing the problem. If you don’t know anything about CSS google around there are many many sites with tutorials on the basics.

Apologies. I should have revisited this sooner. The plugin is being re-worked and should be added to the repo shortly. It was always my intent to have it shared once it was completed. Stay tuned.
