BuddyPress.org

i moved it – and it fixed it, it was being called too late in the footer i guess, TY, i didnt know how that tied in together!

<?php wp_footer(); ?> it has it – any other suggestions?

found it. In the buddymatic framework if you open library/extensions/buddypress-extensions.php on line 97 is

"<a href=...

add a > after the quote at the beginning

"><a href=...

I’ll have that fixed in the next release

I will be using a pre-made WP theme, and modify some stuff..no need to re-invent the wheel here, since -like you said- content is more important.. That will be the main focus and not the looks (although we all love clean and nice design!)

Sorry I hadn’t checked back sooner. Do the links still work?

I have one last question, if you don’t mind…. How can I change what theme is assigned to newly created blogs? I know the creators can change it through their admin area later, but the default WP theme that is on there has broken links and is ugly.

John James Jacoby,

Please send me an email address so I can paypal you the $20. Removing the www site-wide through admin and in the wp-config.php file solved the problem. I was able to create a blog as a user, log into it, post, add widgets, change the theme, etc.

THANK YOU!

it has to be this part that is causing the problem, any ideas how to make it work called from the child theme folder? i am afraid to do the upgrade to 1.1.2 from 1.1.1 with stuff in the parent them!

‘

function postimage($width,$height) {

$scriptpath = get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’);

$attachments = get_children(array(‘post_parent’ => get_the_ID(), ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’));

if (!is_array($attachments)) {

$image = $scriptpath.”/images/empty.gif”;

echo ‘<img style=”border:none;margin:0;” src=”‘.$scriptpath.’/scripts/timthumb.php?src=’.$image.’&zc=1″ alt=”” />’;

}

else {

$img = array_shift($attachments);

$imagelink = wp_get_attachment_image_src($img->ID,’full’);

$image = $imagelink[0];

echo ‘<img src=”‘.$scriptpath.’/scripts/timthumb.php?src=’.$image.’&w=’.$width.’&h=’.$height.’&zc=1″ alt=”” />’;

}

}’

I’ve gone ahead with this, and already working on the site.. I am currently customizing a existing WP theme, so it should be online very soon.. I’ll keep you guys updated and in the meantime it would be really cool, if you start thinking about things you would like to see explained on the site.. If you have a Tutorial laying around (Andrea?) and would like to contribute.. please contact me!

Cross-posting this here from another thread. It’s now about a week since I’ve had anymore of the firstnamesurname19xx signups.

Well, I don’t know — I seem to have lucked out, or it’s just that my site is too new and so-far untrafficked, but the few very simple, small changes I made last week seem to have stopped the firstnamelastname19xx signups.

1) I changed the some of the text on the /register page.

2) I removed the “powered by” text in footer.php of my child theme (someone mentioned that it was being searched for)

3) I changed the register slug in wp-config.php

4) Added a functions.php file in my custom childtheme with the following code to redirect signups for all blogs to the Buddypress register page

function rk_signup_redirect() {

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-signup.php') !== false ) {

$url = 'http://mydomain.com/customregisterslug';

wp_redirect($url);

exit;

}

}

add_action('init', 'rk_signup_redirect');

where mydomain.com is, you know, my domain, and customregisterslug is the slug I changed in step 3.

I don’t think I changed anything else — no captchas or anything — and I’ve received zero splog signups in the 5 days since, after getting a few a day before that. Fingers crossed.

I now understand the problem.

In order to get the new version to work I basically have to re-create my bp theme with the new theme files. I compared the standard new buddypress theme to mine after the upgrade and noticed that I don’t have a status directory for example I copied the contents of your bp-sn-parent into my bp theme and the new features all worked, except my css was now broken.

This is insane. I had paid someone a good deal amount of funds so that my bp theme matches my wordpress theme. Now I have to do it all over again if I want to move on from 1.0.3
