BuddyPress.org

I activated BPress and during setup, I tried several ways to activate the forums. Each choice I click on yields:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

I think I can access everything else, and everything else seems to be working okay, I just want to get the forums up. Thanks in advance for your help.

I’m running wp 3.2.1, on main directory in root, using bp version 1.5.1that was never upgraded. I have no other plugins activated on the subdomain I’m running buddypress from. I’m using the standard bp theme that came with the plugin for this and I modified my wp-config to allow bp to run on subdomain (runs on members.mysite.com): here’s the info in bp-custom.php
`<?php

WP 3.2.1 running BP 1.5 upgraded from 1.2.10

After not being able to figure out how to add just one html link to the buddy/admin bar, I found a snippet to add an html drop down menu. Adding the function to a bp-custom.php file.

The menu looks fine, it just doesn’t work and I’ve tried many different kinds of edits to the file to try and get it to work.

The file is:

<?php

function pages () { global $bp; ?>

<li><a href="http://www.mysite.com">Community</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="//www.mysite.com/activity”">The Stream</a></li>
<li><a href="//www.mysite.com/blogs”">Members Blog Actvity</a></li>
<li><a href="//www.mysite.com/members”">Members Directory</a></li>
<li><a href="//www.mysite.com/groups”">Public Groups</a></li>
<li><a href="//www.mysite.com/about/become-a-member”">Join</a></li>
<li><a href="//www.mysite.com/about/contact”">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

I really don’t want the word “Community” to be a link, but if I add it without the href, it breaks.

Any answers as to why this doesn’t work and how to make it work would be greatly appreciated.

On the activity page I see members avatars, their names, a brief line or 2 of text and a few have ‘View’ links next to their activity. The ones that start with /activity/p/ (some number after it) are broken. I think these are Updates posted from the user’s profile, but the links show nothing, just blank content, there’s nothing there when you click on the link- just shows the avatar, name, and the links ‘View’ and ‘Delete’ but nothing below that.

Anyone else have this issue? I’m afraid to Upgrade BuddyPress and the template packs, so I’m really stuck.

WP 3.2.1 using BP 1.5 updated from 1.2.10
Using Custom Theme

One of the people testing out my configuration suggested that I make the font size in the Activity Stream larger – to match the font-size in the posts and pages on the site – primarily for using the site on smaller devices. My page and single content font sizes in the site’s CSS are not affecting the activity stream/network.

I want to hard code it or at least put it in my site’s CSS file.

I guess this would be more than just changing the font-size in the activity stream …

when installed in multisite and set to be aware of news posts, buddypress activity page show it’s own version of excerpt, it show post thumbnail and part of the post, even though set the tag and it’s working normally in twenty eleven blog theme, and also it show error saying ” !–more– “
look here to understand:

I want it to consider the more tag, which in my case showing the post thumbnail only, can that be set by adding some filter to bp-custom?
