November 14, 2011 at 9:11 am #124358In reply to: How to remove www.HubTank.com sidebar of BBPress :D
@mercime
ParticipantIt depends on your WP theme. Did you use the first or second method to complete the BP compatibility process when fixing alignment? You could do full width for the BuddyPress directory pages only if you used the first method.
If you want full width (no sidebar) for directory pages only, then delete “ from:
/activity/index.php
/forums/index.php
/groups/index.php
/members/index.phpIf you’re referring to all the BuddyPress pages, then create a blank sidebar-buddypress.php and upload to the root of your active and preferred WP theme.

socratic42
MemberHi mercime ~ thank you
I put : http://socraticmama.com/feed/ into the Google Reader subscription box & your solution works perfectly, but it doesn’t solve the problem for those who now newly subscribe to SocraticMama. The problem is I will have to tell each new subscriber to enter http://socraticmama.com/feed/ manually into Google Reader. Is there any way to have my RSS feed, not my sitewide activity, as the automatic default for Google Reader?
Another poster had the same problem 6 months ago & a solution was provided by Mikey3D, but I don’t know how to apply the solution in my case:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/trouble-with-google-reader-and-sitewide-activity/
I can’t match it to the advice given by Mikey3D. This is because the terms ‘Blog Posts RSS Feed’ & ‘Blog Posts Atom Feed’ are not in my header.php ~ see here:<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="; charset=" /> <title></title> <link rel="pingback" href="" /> <?php if ( is_singular() && bp_is_blog_page() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); wp_head(); ?> <body id="bp-default"> <div id="header"> <div id="search-bar"> <div class="padder"> <h1 id="logo"><a href="" title=""></a></h1> <form action="" method="post" id="search-form"> <label for="search-terms" class="accessibly-hidden"></label> <input type="text" id="search-terms" name="search-terms" value="" /> <input type="submit" name="search-submit" id="search-submit" value="" /> </form><!-- #search-form --> </div><!-- .padder --> </div><!-- #search-bar --> <div id="navigation"> false, 'menu_id' => 'nav', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'fallback_cb' => 'bp_dtheme_main_nav' ) ); ?> </div> </div><!-- #header --> <div id="container">Using the WordPress 3.2.1 and Buddypress 1.5.1 with default BuddyPress theme.

ParticipantPlatform is *supposed* to have BuddyPress support, so I looked at the CSS route via Firebug. Sure enough, some minor tweaks “lifted up” your sidebar to where it’s supposed to be.
Add this to your stylesheet to lift up the sidebar.:
`#buddypress-page #content {
float: left;
width: 600px;
}`If you want to bring in the BP elements that extend the horizontal border, etc, add following to stylesheet as well to start:
`#buddypress-page #content .padder div.pagination { margin: -20px 0px 0 !important; }
#buddypress-page .item-list li { padding: 1em 0 !important; }
div.item-list-tabs { margin: 25px 0 20px !important; }
div#subnav.item-list-tabs { margin: -15px 0 15px !important; }
ul#members-list, ul#groups-list { list-style-type: none; margin-left: 0; }`Add other styles to taste.
If the above solution works for you, please close the WP.org forum post as resolved. Cheers.

ParticipantI realize that we are depending on the kindness of strangers, but regular updates and some idea of timelines would be helpful.
It seems like there is a bit of a vicious circle. The forum we use to ask questions about buddypress and report problems gives a poor impression of buddypress (despite the clear hard work of volunteers) and makes it hard to find and track answers. I guess the answer, for those who can wait, is to wait until more plugins and and the forum are fixed?
For those who are new and want to use plugins, and those who use plugins and haven’t upgraded yet perhaps it is unwise to install 1.5 until there is more progress?

@mercime
ParticipantKnow that when you open up your registration for anyone on single WP or WP multisite, whether you have BuddyPress or not, you will get spammers and sploggers. Only “closed” or by-invitation-only sites have escaped this curse completely.
There have been different solutions using plugins and techniques to prevent this but these bots and humans spammers/sploggers are relentless. Search online and you’ll get many answers/methods

@mercime
ParticipantYou could post in WP.org forums for that plugin as to why it’s causing that issue with BuddyPress. In the meantime, if you need sample content for your site, you could download test data which the WordPress Theme Review Team use to check out themes submitted to the WP Theme Repository https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test
November 12, 2011 at 10:37 pm #124276In reply to: Where are my sub-menus? – Graphene Theme
@mercime
Participant@junglejinge you need to wrap your code within backticks (`) the symbol between the parentheses for short blocks of code. But for large blocks like the page.php source code, use pastebin.com as aces mentioned above
I gathered additional information from WP.org forums
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-have-my-sub-menus-gone?replies=3
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-theme-knocks-out-my-navigation-structure?replies=2BP compatibility process for Graphene Theme
A. After you activate the Graphene theme, install and activate BP Template Pack
B. Go to Appearance > BP Compatibility and go through the process till you click Finish. Do not disable the Template Pack’s CSs nor JS. You’ll see this in frontend [before you make the changes, the regular page and the component page]

It’s totally unlike what you have currently at http://www.meetinbradford.org/Note: this theme has many options which may or may not work with the modifications placed below. In case the following exercise does not work, please contact the graphene theme developer and refer him/her to this post.
C. Download the 6 BP folders which were transferred to your graphene theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive. Because of your theme’s HTML structure, you will need to use the first method for fixing alignment on 16 files within the folders you downloaded. Those 16 files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles
Starting with activity/index.php open it up with text editor
At the very top, replace:
``with
``At the bottom of same activity/index.php file, replace:
``
with:
`
`Save file. Then do this for the remaining 15 files listed in link except for registration/register.php where you do the same for the top portion of the file but at the bottom of the file, replace:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});`
with:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});`
Save files and upload the six folders with modified template files to your theme folder in server.
D. Styling modifications – you’d most probably want to tweak some styles that come with bp.css. Check out style.css mods used in twenty theme as guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
November 12, 2011 at 10:11 pm #124267In reply to: Questions about finding plugin status on bp site
r-a-y
KeymasterWordPress plugin pages usually show the compatibility version as set by the plugin author.
Recent date can be viewed by clicking on the “Development log” link on the plugin page’s right sidebar.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress (view the right hand sidebar for the link)For status updates, you’ll have to either:
– post on the plugin’s support forum
– find the author’s website / Twitter account and ping that person.For plugin compatibility, check out this codex page:

KeymasterHi, to make sure you have setup your forums properly, please try following the steps listed under “Set up a new bbPress installation”:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#forums-setup
Then follow the steps to create a new group forum under “Enable Forum for each Group” at the link above.After you have done that, try making a post in a group forum.

ParticipantDeactivate BuddyPress.
1. Please check requirements https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
2. Make sure that you have WP install working with pretty permalinks https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration
3. Then activate BuddyPressEDIT – for Windows hosting issues

henrybcn
MemberThanks for responding @mercime. I found the cause. I reported a bug on Trac (3747).
When Front page = a Static BuddyPress page (eg, Activity), the previews do not work, nor do ugly links inside pages test page
When front page = Static Page (= a not BP Page), the previews work correctly, and also the ugly links inside pages test page
When I select Front Page = Forums, I get a “This webpage has a redirect loop” error.
I tested this on my installation, after deactivating all plugins and the default theme. I checked .htaccess, and it is correct.
I reproduced this on a new WP 3.2.1. install, with BP 1.5.1. , on a separate domain.

MemberHi mercime
Thanks for your helpful reply. I changed Forums base to sitewide-forums & now I have a new forum eg
http://richard-dickinson.com/sitewide-forums/forum/rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies/
I am still though finding it hard to understand & use BP on my site! Hopefully with time I will learn how to use it properly.
Shouldn’t this forum I have created eg rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies show on the top BP admin bar (my username) forums link? Clicking on that Forums link brings me to …../admin/forums page & there is no forum shown there on the forums tab? I am a little confused at the moment with BP on my site-how can I learn to use BP properly on my site?

peeld
ParticipantI’ve been trying to send a message to @Travel-Junkie but the BP site won’t let me, so here goes – @Travel-Junkie mentioned he was going to make a custom mod/hack to S2Member to get it to protect groups – did you ever get that to work? I had S2Member working with a bit of code in my functions.php file and it was AWESOME, till the BP 1.5 upgrade, and now it doesn’t work. I think they’re tired of me too, because although the customer support has heretofore been very VERY good, they finally just told me it was a custom hack and S2Member wasn’t designed for groups or group protection. Bleh. I must say that also there are some other functions that aren’t working as of late and the help has been a bit overtaxed, probably because of the overall generally good quality of the plugin. But I wouldn’t really recommend it at this time for specifically protecting BP groups, just since I haven’t been able to get a solution to what WAS working from either the folks at S2Member *or* the Buddypress.org forums. I finally resorted to posting a request for a custom PAID job to fix this, it’s maddening. S2Member doesn’t currently protect my groups, doesn’t populate the correct end date in subscriptions, so really, all it’s doing is redirecting users to a different URL if they’re not logged in.
The help forum has been pretty overwhelmed the last couple of days, I’ve been checking daily trying to solve my own issues

I have now decided to go back to graphene and install the compatibility pack but am having problems with that. I am following the instructions as per this post
