BuddyPress.org

Instead of touching WPMU core file, create and upload the code of plugin to mu-plugin. See this thread – https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14647

This one’s working in my 2.8.5.2 installs and set up for Site Admins only for site security

You can enable the theme-editor in the Script mu.php in wp-admin. But be carefull because users than write php-code.

For more information you can look here:

This isn’t anything to do with BuddyPress. I could be wrong, but I think this is one of the differences between WP and WPMU.

White screen is usually a memory or parser problem. What does it say in your error log?

Any update on the theme release?

But keep in mind that unless you make that css change in a child theme which might be otherwise identical to the default, you’ll lose it when BP 1.1.3 is released.

Resolved.

The register.php page is a BuddyPress-specific theme file that let’s you more easily customize the user registration page. It is found in the /registration/ directory of the parent theme bp-sn-parent. When it is in use, it takes over the duties from the wp-signup.php page which is a WPMU file. You can use either one, but I find it easier to use the register.php page.

Also, read this thread. The OP created a new Captcha plugin for WordPress that is compatible with version 1.1.x of BP:

Here’s the direct link to the plugin in the WP repo:

Are you using the old default BP themes or the new parent/child defaul BP theme architecture?

The old two-theme system relied on the bphome theme residing in /wp-content/themes/ and the bpmember theme residing in /wp-content/bp-themes/. If you still have those theme files try this:

• Make sure that you have moved the new theme files into their proper location as detailed here in step 4 of the section entitled, “Installing BuddyPress”
• Then, do as instructed in step 5 of the above link
• If you are stilling having issues, you may need to remove the old default BP theme files

Just encountered this issue, this is most likely because everyone in this thread is using the deprecated /bp-themes/ format.

I tried German’s fix but that duplicated some CSS classes.

Since I was already using some form of filter to add CSS classes to the body, I removed the bp_get_the_body_class() filter.

If you want to do the same, put this somewhere in your theme’s functions.php:

remove_filter( 'body_class', 'bp_get_the_body_class', 10, 2 );

Nice. Good to see someone do some real theme work (not just colors).

Are you using bp-events? The latest trunk lists the directory view by date. Much better than by active. I also added a tiny function to bp-events-templatetags.php to display event dates in the directory. I imagine this will show up in the trunk eventually. Probably just an oversight not to have a site event start date function.

function bp_the_site_event_date_start() {

echo bp_get_the_site_event_date_start();

}

function bp_get_the_site_event_date_start() {

global $site_events_template;



return apply_filters('bp_get_the_site_event_date_start',

date(('l M j - Y'), $site_events_template->event->date_start));

}

Of course, you could use whatever date format you like. I happen to like “l M j – Y”.

In your directory loop you’d just use this to display:

<?php bp_the_site_event_date_start() ?>

In case you haven’t discovered the documentation section (I hadn’t), there’s a great how to guide on building child themes:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

@ stwc: Thanks for the advice about child themes. Sound pretty easy…

I definately don’t think the system is flawed, far from it. Can just be a challenge when think you’ve got something, then it changes (but no complaints!!)

More so asked the question to help understand why the change was made.

Big thanks to everyone that takes the time to help out those that need it!!

Does your site work when using the default buddyPress theme? If so, you should contact the developer of the Shouty theme and ask when it will be upgraded to work with BP version 1.1.x.

Are there any errors in your server’s error logs? Do you have any plugins activated besides BuddyPress? If so, deactivate them all and see if the issue resolves. Also, please continuing using the default theme as we troubleshoot this issue.

Have you seen these two articles?

Some member profiles on my site are starting to become garbled …

The way you state the issue, you make it seem as if members’ profiles that were once correct are being changed into a “garbled” set of strings. However, if what you mean is that new registrants profiles appear as garbled strings, then I would assume it is spam as well.

First thing to do is upgrade to the latest WPMU and make sure you are using some form of anti-spam protection–Akismet, captchas, etc. Also, spammers many not be the only unwanted entities targeting your site. If you are not using the latest version of WPMU, then you are greatly exposing your site to attacks from more malicious parties who target older versions of WP, exploiting any recently-announced security issues in older version.

Next, you will want to upgrade BuddyPress to the latest version. Once you’ve done that, you will need to update your theme to work with BuddyPress. you can either do that yourself or contact the designer of your theme to find out if the theme you are using works with BP 1.1.2.
