It looks really nice and clean! Thanks.

Friggin’ IE….

Ron or I don’t have IE, so if someone manages to fix it before we get to it, GREAT! You have our undying love.

OK, I cobbled together a solution. Two steps:

1. Add the following code to your bp-custom.php folder or in your child theme’s functions.php (or a plugin if you roll that way):

   function myprofile_redirect() {
   
   global $bp;
   
   
   
   if ( $bp->current_component == 'myprofile' && $bp->loggedin_user->domain != '' ) {
   
   bp_core_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
   
   } elseif ( $bp->current_component == 'myprofile' ) {
   
   bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain );
   
   }
   
   
   
   }
   
   add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'myprofile_redirect');

2. In header.php of your child theme (copy it over from bp-sn-parent if you don’t have one there already) replace

   <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo bp_root_domain() ?>" />

   around line 57 with

   <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php print ( bp_root_domain() . '/myprofile' ) ?>" />

Anytime a logged-in user types in the address http://example.com/myprofile, they’ll get their profile. Non-logged-in visitors will be redirected to the home page.

Let me know if it works for you.

You either will use your old theme(s) in /bp-themes/ or a parent/child theme in /themes/. If you want to use your old theme as a parent/child theme, then you need to make changes to it as detailed in the link I provided and then move it into its new place.

Please reread the links I provided above as they do explain very clearly what you need to do.

It means more code in buddypress-core. It might not be a lot, but even small things add up after a while. All I’m saying is that it should be a theme option and not bp-core.

Hi, thanks DJPaul for the tip!

But, I need to stay active my Thematic chilt theme in the home page. How to do this? It´s possible?

you are most welcome

I am glad your site is working now.

I am not sure about facebuddy theme though.

Thanks for the response Ron.

I have done what you asked but the problem still persists. It is not a problem with the admin bar / flydown navigation, but with the main navigation bar. It does not change if I am logged in or not.

Here’s a screenshot of the error in IE.

Thanks Andrea. I was never aware of the thematic framework before, so this is opening up some awesome new doors for me, in general, since my knowledge of theming is somewhat limited at this point.

I’ve noticed a bug with IE and the navigation menu in buddymatic. In Firefox and Google Chrome the menu appears as it should but, in IE it does not load properly. Does this happen to anyone else, when testing it on IE7 or 8? I have buddymatic installed on http://www.capitalistdog.net, for you to check.

well,follow these steps

1.Get a backup of bp-themes(I hope you already did it) and delete it from wp-content,there should be no folder named bp-themes

2.Now copy the bp-sn-parent and bp-default from the buddypress/bp-themes(the new buddypress plugin you have downloaded) to wp-content/themes

3.Go to wp-dashboard->Site Admin->Themes and enable bp-default

4.Go to appearance and activate bp-default ,hopefully ,you site should return back to normal.

You may need to do some extra styling on the child theme to get them to look right with the buddypress elements. But the buddymatic framwork has most of the work done for you.

Not sure about the php errors – depends on what they are. Ron’s been testing the Early Morning child theme as well.

have you removed bp-themes folder from the wp-content

Figured it out.

To anyone wondering, just change “Template: thematic” to “Template: buddymatic” in the style.css

I haven’t gotten any of the child themes from here http://themeshaper.com/thematic/ to work properly with buddypress. They all seem to have formatting errors, and sometimes php errors.

Should they all work fine? Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry for the triple post.

Does the Kubrick / K2 theme allow users to add a logo to it’s big blue header?

Also, how does letting an admin upload a logo (as a custom config option) mean more coding? The idea is that it would mean zero coding. You would go into the theme settings, click a button, upload a graphic, done.

And trust me… CSS is easy for me and you… but as a developer… I’m happy when a client can just figure out how to log in and write a post! Most people can’t handle anything more complicated than email and facebook.

How do you make the custom child themes, from http://themeshaper.com/thematic/ work? WordPress MU can’t seem to see them, when I upload them.

hi Olive

have you checked this thread.Hopefully this should help you as your buddypress is not on the root domain but on sub blog.

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/can-i-run-non-bp-theme-on-tld-and-bp-theme-on-subdomain-all-on-same-wpmu-install

This looks amazing, thanks!

as It seems from your error description it is bp-genealogies theme.

try deactivating this theme ,and activating the default buddypress theme.Is the error still showing ?

I have a functions.php (with one custom function for redirects) in my child theme, no issues. I guess you’re doing something wrong!

Great stuff, thanks! I will definitely be checking it out.
