wpmirwinAfter finally learning how to search buddypress.org forums I found another partial solution that I decided to implement.
It does not remove the General subnav menu. It’s an edit on the core BP files that removes the form data (actually, I replaced it with a link to another page where Profile mods can be done).
I would still like to know how to do this without modifying core BP files.
This is the URL to the forum topic:

Ronnie_FantasticHi @mercime
Twas not flattery! I was simply observing your legendary status on these here forums. 
I also did not expect any guarantee of compatibility with Artisteer themes, so it’s perfectly cool if this is too much of a pain to figure out, or if it simply can’t be done.
If the two can’t work together, then I will try and adapt a theme that is compatible to look like the theme I created with Artisteer.
As you requested though, here are the codes you requested. Header and footer seems straightforward…
Header.php: http://pastebin.com/5QjaczaG
Footer.php: http://pastebin.com/jcHeRhms
Sidebar… looks like it could be a real pain… there’s 5 code pages for the sidebar????
sidebar-top.php: http://pastebin.com/JbghaYq6
sidebar-bottom.php: http://pastebin.com/3bB7kTjf
sidebar-footer.php: http://pastebin.com/6QtsLHmg
sidebar-default.php: http://pastebin.com/899BRFgc
sidebar-secondary.php: http://pastebin.com/0NMSe6mp
As I’ve observed… you do an awful lot to help folks out with code fixes round here. If this one is too much of a headache because it’s been done with Artisteer… just say so and I’ll figure out another way to do it.
Many Thanks.
Ronnie.
Tammie Lister@raminjan : Whilst a little bit older: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-to-display-specific-users-avatar/ has some useful stuff in it. It all depends on if you want to customise the theme or you do want to go the plugin route. If you want uploading and other functionality you’re going to have to go plugin. If you just want to show the existing profile image (which probably is more sensible) then you could output anywhere you want.
@mercime@greenmeanie do post at the Gravity Forms forums as well. They provide support for their premium plugin.
@mercime@elmindo Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your nevada theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your nevada theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
with the following:
`<?php
global $lambda_meta_data;
$meta_sidebar = $lambda_meta_data->get_the_value(‘sidebar’);
$meta_sidebar = (!empty( $meta_sidebar )) ? $meta_sidebar : get_option_tree( ‘select_sidebar’ );
get_header();
get_template_part( ‘template-part’, ‘slider’ );
get_template_part( ‘template-part’, ‘teaser’ );
if($meta_sidebar != UT_THEME_INITIAL.’sidebar_none’) {
lambda_before_content($columns=”);
} elseif($meta_sidebar == UT_THEME_INITIAL.’sidebar_none’) {
lambda_before_content($columns=’sixteen’);
}
?>
<section id="post-” >
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
` or `
` to `
` where applicable, then move this to above `
Save files.

fiveheadThanks, Just r-a-y. Very much appreciate you taking the time.
I had a chance to delve a bit deeper and found that this functionality has been requested quite a bit in the BP forums and elsewhere around the web. Sounds like there is hope that this functionality will be built into the BP core at some point. Any confirmation on that from BP brass?
Before I go down the path of training together a bunch of plugins, I was hoping someone could answer a few questions about a single BP network, installed on the mother site and spread across the WPMU:
1. Is it possible to pick and choose what BP data is displayed? Display the whole shebang on the mother site, but only display the Real Estate Investing related data (group/forums) on RealEstateInvesting.com? Save for the network-wide activity stream on the child site, of course.
2. Is there such a thing as subgroups and/or subforums (ability to create forums that only relate to the Real Estate Investing groups, mayhaps?)? I’ve seen outdated forum posts that this functionality isn’t available, but that it’s being worked on as a future release (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/bbpress-and-subforums/ is one example).
If both 1 and 2 were possible, I think this would *mostly* eliminate my need to have multiple BP networks.
I apologize that I don’t know the base table/relationship structure of BP. I hope to take a look at that soon, as that knowledge may eliminate some of my questions.
Confident CaregiversBuddyPress Version 1.6.1
Wordpress version 3.4.2
I am using the default Buddypress theme. I did checkout the link you provided and it looks like I installed everything ok.
John James JacobyCriticizing and complaining isn’t the way to motivate anyone to volunteer anymore time than they already do. You don’t like it? Neither do we, and we’re working on fixing everything up, similar to what we did to bbPress.org.
It’s okay to be frustrated, but it’d be great to channel that passion into something positive.
John James JacobyComing into our support forums and asking us if you should fork our software that’s still in active development is pretty silly. If you want to fork it, go. We’ll miss your contributions, but kindly talk about your future endeavors in your own support forums.
r-a-yAnother topic derailed. Closing topic.
EthanVanThis is something I’ve been wondering about too. The funny thing is they say “search the support forum” before you post a duplicate topic. lol Gee wouldn’t it help us follow that guideline if there WERE a search feature. It’s like me saying look at my homepage ” ” and tell me what you think.
PS – This is not a moderator issue this is a core team issue.
Paul Wong-GibbsThis isn’t the place for this discussion; talk of forks on this forum harms the perception of BuddyPress. There are many ways to contribute to BuddyPress and change things. We welcome any and all contributions. Splitting effort is not the answer.
@mercimeWP/BP versions? Multisite or single WP? Are you using BP default theme or custom theme? Did you check out https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
Sean InfiniteeHey guys-hoping you can help me figure out what I’m doing wrong…if I can’t hide or remove the “community” tab then it would seem to be a pretty simple concept to change the order of the tab, but no luck with the above…not that php or css savvy but the instructions here are pretty straightforward so any help is appreciated!
Using latest wordpress version and just installed buddypress yesterday so I would assume it is also the latest version.
My website is http://www.defendersofturntablism.org
I added the line `define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘preferred_default_tab’ ); to wp-config.php above ‘//MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host **//`
Created bp-custom.php in plugins folder and added
`function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav = 10;
$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 40;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );`
Unfortunately all this has done is add the above line of code to the header of my site…can anyone help me figure this out??! Seems like it should be very simple. Ideally I want to have see the community tab go away and have the members section contain the buddypress activity, groups, forums, etc.
Thanks in advance!!
@mercime@ansidious do post at BP Album forums as well https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/
@mercime@kookidooki WPMU is old school and has been merged with WordPress way back version WP 3.0. If you want to allow your users to create blogs, you’d have to create a Network (go Multisite) https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
I would suggest deactivating BuddyPress and other plugins, plus changing to Twenty Eleven theme before creating a network. Please make sure that your multisite installation is working as expected before activating BuddyPress again. If you have any issues going multisite, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
@mercime@ossendryver please post at plugin’s forum https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-checkins/forum/
evagorascSure thing @modemlooper. The code below will look for all the custom fields that a user has filled in, compare them to what should be visible for the currently logged-in user and then loop and display the forum reply user’s data. Instead of simply looping the default titles and data of the xprofile fields, I do a custom switch/case so that I can format each field individually for more control.
`
$user_strAllFields = get_user_meta( bbp_get_reply_author_id(), bp_get_user_meta_key( ‘bp_xprofile_visibility_levels’ ), true );
// get all the completed user fields for this poster
if( $user_strAllFields != null ) :
$user_arrAllFields = array_keys( $user_strAllFields );
else :
$user_arrAllFields = array();
endif;
// get all the fields that should not be displayed for this poster
$user_arrHiddenFields = bp_xprofile_get_hidden_fields_for_user( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
// loop through all the poster filled-in fields
foreach( $user_arrAllFields as $field ) :
// exclude the ones that should not be displayed
if( !in_array( $field, $user_arrHiddenFields ) ) :
// turn the ID of a field into its object
$obj_field = xprofile_get_field( $field, bbp_get_reply_author_id() ) ;
// depending on the field name, customize the display
switch( $obj_field->name ) :
case ‘Location’ :
$user_location = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Location’, bbp_get_reply_author_id() ) ;
if (strlen($user_location) > 0 ) :
echo ‘
Location: ‘ . $user_location . ‘
‘;
endif;
break;
endswitch;
endif; // !in_array( $field, $user_arrHiddenFields ) )
endforeach; //( $user_arrAllFields as $field )

John James Jacoby@shawn38 – Firstly, thanks for the kind words. Secondly, if someone wants to try and charge for a plugin, they are free to do so. Also, telling someone you’re not trying to attack them, and then attacking them, isn’t going to yield positive results. If you don’t have anything nice or helpful to contribute, it’s best to keep it to yourself, or that you share it outside of these support forums.
(Emailed @shawn38 privately to continue chatting.)
KookidookiWho has tried this? https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/11126
evagorasc@modemlooper thanks! I used a combination of your tips and info I found here https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/profile-field-visibility-in-bp-1-6/ to make this work for me. I now have any custom field in Buddypress show up in my forums loop and it shows up conditionally as well for the appropriate users only.
ouyagamingsource@mercime Thanks! The issue was I was trying to deal with two issues at once: trying to modify BuddyPress styles and bbPress styles, I’ve been able to sort out the details and have posted the remaining issues in a Compatibility thread here:
@mercime@ouyagamingsource to make your Alyeska theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin, the go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process as you’ll see https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
You’re in luck, we’ve helped another person some months ago with Step 3 for the Alyeska theme at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/customising-alyeska-theme-for-buddypress/
If you have any issues re Compatiblity Process, please post at that thread.
ouyagamingsourcebbPress Update- Going from these directions: https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ I created a child from my Alyeska theme and copied the Default bbPress Theme to the child theme folder. This helped get the forum page a little closer to my custom theme style, but still not there yet; the sidebars are missing, the forum BG is white, amongst a few other issues, but it’s getting closer. I’m just not sure where the CSS master file for this page is, I tried editing the two files in the CSS folder but it didn’t make any change: http://ouyagamingsource.com/forums/
In regards to locating and editing the BuddyPress CSS files I still haven’t gotten to that part yet: http://ouyagamingsource.com/groups/
