@aminima – we undertake that sort of complex development work on a commercial basis, almost invariably as part of full site builds. We contribute on the forums to give general advice and guidance, and sometimes to give short outline code snippets and pointers, but not to provide fully coded components.

If you need a developer to help build custom features for your site, we’d be happy to provide a quote, or you should be able to find other good BuddyPress developers who are available to take on freelance contracts.

See if this goes to your convenience.

Forum Tags
Add this filter to your child theme function.php
Cloud font values are set by default to 10 and 42.Seted to 10 and 30

`remove_filter (‘bp_forums_tag_heat_map’,’bp_forums_tag_heat_map’);
function my_bp_forums_tag_heat_map( $args = ” ) {
$defaults = array(
‘smallest’ => ’10’,
‘largest’ => ’30’,
‘sizing’ => ‘px’,
‘limit’ => ’30’
);

$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

bb_tag_heat_map( $smallest, $largest, $sizing, $limit );
}
add_filter (‘bp_forums_tag_heat_map’,’my_bp_forums_tag_heat_map’);`

Also in functions.php
WP Tag Cloud defined in wp-includes/category-template.php
`add_filter( ‘widget_tag_cloud_args’, my_tag_cloud_args );
function my_tag_cloud_args($in){
return ‘smallest=10&largest=12&number=25&orderby=name&unit=px’;
}`

Thanks. The only thing I have customised that I think would affect this is reducing the width of the sidebar to 198px from 224px. For some reason the tag cloud generated by sidebar.php isn’t respecting the CSS width of the sidebar. I am not sure how the font-sizes for tags are generated. They are set using an inline style tag, so there is no CSS class to override.

[Tammie Lister]

It’s a little hard to tell with a link when you’ve done something custom. However, my suggestion would be to set a width limit on the side bar or if you have one then look using CSS to decrease that font size – one thing has to go down or up to fit from what I’m seeing

Further to the above post – here is some more info on my BuddyPress setup

Directories – Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory.
=======================================================================
Activity Streams = Activity (page shows on menu = ok)
Discussion Forums = None (but page shows on menu = ok)
Members = Members (page shows on menu = ok)
Portfolio = None (no page shows on menu = ??)
Register = Register (no page shows on menu, but there is a right side bar with block for members to input their details and click on submit for membership, this block works, and opens a page informing the person to expect an email to confirm their membership – but no email is ever received…)
Activate = Activate (no page shows on menu = ??)

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

The groups DO use a bbPress implementation (bbPress v1.x). In a future release of BuddyPress and bbPress (v2.x), you’ll be able to do what you want.

[nickharambee]

Mmmh. Thanks for the info. Doesn’t sound so good. BP seems to work well, but not so much the forum. I don’t have anything showing in my activity even though I have started a number of posts.

[b1gft]

The search facility is not working on the site, well it kind of does, but only shows blog entries. what I do is use the tags and get the closest word to your problem and click on it and see what comes up. Of course first ask on the support forum, but I find, on my questions anyway, that only about 20% are answered. On the email notification, again I dont think it works, so to get over this, I will make some comment on a post I am interested in or want to find a problem on. Then when I return to the BP site, I log in and go to my activity page, and that shows all the posts I have being involved with, so I am able to follow it that way.

There is a few bugs with BP own site, another one is my username is shown as “deleted user”, while my username is B1gft. I posted about it and again they said they have seen a lot of members that had this problem, again they said they knew about it, but again it was not fixed.

[@mercime]

That screenshot requires username and password.

On another note, I see that you’ve posted about similar “Tasks” issues even before the change of sidebar location at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bp-gtm-system-strange-things-happening-with-task-list-view-in-wordpress-34?replies=1 so I can also suggest that you post this GTM issue at @slaffik ‘s forums at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-gtm-system/forum/

[TheBeardedOne]

Thanks for the heads up on that link. I’ve added it my watch list.

As a stop gap measure, on of our developers changed the query to this:

`SELECT count(a.id) FROM wp_bp_activity a WHERE a.component IN ( ‘groups’ ) AND a.type IN ( ‘new_blog_post’,’new_forum_topic’,’activity_update’,’joined_group’ ) AND a.item_id IN ( 82 ) AND a.hide_sitewide = 0 AND a.type != ‘activity_comment’ ORDER BY a.date_recorded DESC;`

It’s really helped the load, not a complete fix but it helps.

“It’s working when permalink set as default” –> What is “IT”? Your WP installation? BuddyPress REQUIRES pretty permalinks and you have to resolve that first in your localhost. Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins then change to Twenty Eleven theme. Go to WP forums which specializes in localhost installations and resolve permalinks before activating BuddyPress https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs

[@mercime]

== If i tries to change to other, it give error page. So i never tried to change it. ==

Sorry, but BuddyPress REQUIRES “pretty permalinks” and will not work with default permalink. You will need to resolve permalinks first before posting here.

Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins then change to WP Twenty Eleven theme. Then go to WP forums which deals specifically with localhost installations https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs to resolve your permalink issue. Please provide more specific information about your localhost installation.

@gkdreamz posting a different issue in another’s topic is not kosher. Do stick with the topic you started at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/seeing-page-not-found-on-activity-members-groups-in-wp-with-buddypress/

[@mercime]

@chennareddya you have different issue/s altogether which you have posted in different topics posted by others. Not good. Please stick with the thread you posted where you are being assisted at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/sign-up-error-page/

@sobuddy, copy over sidebar.php file from buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/ theme to your bp-default child theme folder and remove lines 8 through 59 per https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.6/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php

I am running into a similar issue. I first installed bbPress, then discovered that my site needed a few BuddyPress features.

During initial BuddyPress installation, I did not activate the forums, since I already had those. A page for forums was not created.

Then, I looked here and found the guide to install site-wide forums, which is what I want. The problem was that my forums page was nowhere to be found.

After installation, however, where it is detected that bbPress is already installed, I have this situation:

1. Forums still don’t show up in the links where “Activity” and others are shown.

2. According to this:

Note: During the Installation Wizard, Forums will be associated with the “Forums” page. In some installations, you do not need to change anything. But if your sitewide forums won’t work, go to wp-admin BuddyPress > Pages and you’ll find the association and remove the Forums Page as the selected page.

not having an associated page is the right way to go. This gives me the error message that an association should take place, but I guess that’s a contradition we’ll have to live with.

But still: No forums link.

What’s the best way to add this?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

The ticket to which you refer will be part of our 1.6 release, which will be in beta soon.

[danbpfr]

Hi,

No answer but a single question…
Did you assign a page for forum ? If yes, and because you installed bbPress as standalone forum, a forum page is not necessary.
A forum page is only needed when you install BP including forums for groups.

It seems that many people encouter such comment button problem since BP 1.5.6 update.
Perhaps try to change permalinks settings and test with BP Default…

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

The top five are WordPress roles. The rest are from bbPress. BuddyPress doesn’t use them. I’m not sure what they do in bbPress.

@thadman as I mentioned above, the code works in Custom Community theme per my test.

Posted in pastebin.com => functions.php file of Custom Community with the dynamic profile link at the bottom of the file. http://pastebin.com/cagpd9Mc

@nickbaer as original poster, you can mark (edit) this topic as resolved. Before activating BuddyPress in your permanent domain, make sure that your WordPress is working as expected. If you have any issues regarding the migration, do post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

[@mercime]

@thadman the code won’t work with your theme. You should contact theme developer (or use forums of iblogPro users) who has coded own custom menu and therefore is not using wp_nav_menu function directly to call the menu.

== I guess whatever happens in 1.7 some migration path will be provided, right? ==

Yes, for sure.

[mattjh]

Thanks for the reply – that’s a really useful bit of information there.

So makes sense to figure out if I can make bbPress more Buddypress like by editing the templates, as a next step, then. So frustrating, as the members page works really well with ordering, filtering, searching, all via AJAX, all working with pagination! Going to be hard to match that.

I guess whatever happens in 1.7 some migration path will be provided, right?

[@mercime]

To be considered in your decision-making, Group Forums will be migrated over to Sitewide Forums come BP 1.7 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598 so personally, I would opt for #3 or wait for BP 1.7
