OK…just wanted to post the fix for this. I’ll let the JetPack folks know, too.

To fix this, locate the class-IXR.php file in the \wp-includes directory. Then, locate the following line, comment it out (//) and save it:

header(‘Content-Length: ‘.$length);

@Hugo

Thanks for your response. I’ve been working on making a child theme of the buddy press default and I’m in the process of completing redoing all the CSS. This is how I’ve run into the issues, and in fact, I continue to find them. In the folder members > single > profile > profile-loop.php version 1.6.1, there is heavy use of tables for positioning the radio inputs yet other sections for settings (as in groups), there are no tables used. Issues like this are making consistent styling throughout the site quite cumbersome.

Since some of these markup issues are untenable to me as I do my work, I’ve had to change them, further specifying my child theme against the parent theme. This now presents an upgrading problem. I will have to thoroughly test any new version to ensure that I don’t have issues.

@Paul Gibbs

Not sure what you mean. When I look at the global.js file, I see at least two kind of things going on. There are things like ajax calls and error handling and then there are purely cosmetic issues such as height and scroll animations upon certain field focusing. I don’t see why these should be commingled in the same file.

For example, initially I ran into trouble with re-styling one of the textareas due to the cosmetic javascript, so I went in and commented out the offending lines. But then I decided I didn’t want a complicated build process every time the client updates the theme, so I eventually kowtowed to the javascript and kept the textarea height to match.

For me and other developers to have full control over the appearance of our themes, this is currently a stumbling block. But admittedly, I did not spend a great deal of time looking of global.js and maybe I’ve misunderstood and everything in it is cosmetic and optional?

EDIT

Sorry Paul, I misunderstood that you were responding to the moderator above you and not to the original post. But I’ve kept the reiteration of the problem here for emphasis.

The only plugin that doesn’t seem to show up as an option on the main site is
BuddyPress Moderation – Version 0.1.6

I’ve installed it using the network admin but it won’t show up on the site I’d like to enable it on.

Thanks @mercime. I found this one yesterday but was having some difficulty getting it to work. I am brand new to wordpress so this is most likely the reason. 🙂

I need to go to my main blogs dashboard and go to menus. Then just create my menu from the links on the left correct? Or am I totally off?

Ok, I’m getting this now and have some new questions.

1: How can I list all of the different blogs somewhere? Not necessarily most popular but all blogs in some form of list that people can look through.

2: How can I make some of the plugins non network? There doesn’t seem to be any option for making network available or not?

3: Same as above but for widgets.

4: I see that users can access their blogs once logged in, however, the network administrator needs to set up blogs for users. Is there a way to allow users to create their own blogs after they have registered?

5: BuddyPress – I installed BP from the network admin however, all of the plugins seem to be networked again? Is this so that blog owners can have the forums which are a part of BP or something else? I was wanting to make BP available only on the main site.

PS: I realize some of these questions are WP so no requirement to respond on those and I can post them there. Just figured I’d ask 🙂

I am already using buddypress follow, where you have to go into a members profile to “follow” them. I just want to make it easier for people to follow other people so I was looking to do the same thing but as a widget in the sidebar.

I’ll give the bbPress Threaded Replies plugin a try. It could work, seeing as I’m using bbPress as a standalone plugin, with BuddyPress. Thanks Chouf1

Thanks for the help everybody. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the sidebar to align correctly, however I did accomplish what I was originally looking for. I was able to remove the sidebar from my buddypress pages, while keeping it on my other posts/pages.

Thanks again!

Sorry for the ridiculous ambiguity of my original post. Looking at code all day is beginning to make me think like a machine.

I was editing the theme’s header directly by file. The theme I’m using is Frisco for Buddypress.

And oh crap, I just deactivated Buddypress to answer your question and now all that I have on my website is an SQL error. lol

@mercime the instructions seem very clear and easy to follow, yet it still doesn’t work for me. I deleted the folders out of my server, created the header and .php files, uploaded them into my server and added the css to the Sahifa stylesheet.

The pages don’t even come up at all. I’ve even disabled plugins to see what the problem is and nothing has worked 🙁

Hello Hugo,
I need a little more detail on how to do each of your above suggestions. I know how to add a new page to regular wordpress but dont know how to make it a buddypress page. As for dragging the loops I have no idea what to do. I follow instructions pretty well so if you take me through the steps it will be more than appreciated.

Hey @mercime, thank you for your suggestion!

Either my template is screwed up, or I’m a complete idiot. I followed the steps to integrate BP into the Sahifa theme, yet the same problem still occurs.
Is the css from this page (https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/) supposed to go into the Sahifa css, or do I create a new file and upload it into a certain folder?

Hi Paul,

I did upgrade to WP 3.5 just before the upgrade to BP 1.6.2.

Doesn’t BuddyPress create the Member role when it first installs?

Regarding the data in the database – I had thought it would be OK, but wanted to verify.

I’m just not sure what my next step is going to be. I’ve never seen a user role disappear like that before…

Following up as it’s still an issue:
