BuddyPress.org

wolfapache9516, I will like to know how you resolve this. I see that your buddypress theme is fine now.

Thanks to Travel-Junkie it is now working for me.

Here is what i put in my bp-custom.php (not tested in the themes functions.php)

define('BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG', 'features');



function example_page_setup_root_component()

{

bp_core_add_root_component( BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG );

}

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'example_page_setup_root_component', 2 );



function bp_show_example_page() {

global $bp, $current_blog;



if ( $bp->current_component == BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG && $bp->current_action == '' ) {

// The first variable here must match the name of your template file below

bp_core_load_template( 'features', true );

}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'bp_show_example_page', 2 );

It is for a features.php page which is in the root directory of the child theme.

buddyin’s problem was that he was trying to use the BuddyPress theme on member blogs; it can only be used on the main blog.

I’m almost sure I’ve tried this in every possible way, but could not get it to work. Going to report Travel-Junkie’s method as well.

If you are making this a plugin, can you make sure it does work for child themes as well?

Anyone else having the problem driz mentioned here? I also can’t seem to get the new forums directory page working. Have re-done everything I can think of; still just goes to the original kakumei themed bbpress forums page. Is there anything typical anyone knows of that can cause this?

When I do that it doesn’t make any difference to the admin bar. Its still just a mess. Im afraid I’ll have t just start coding the css for the admin bar myself. Although I dont know if I’d be able to.

Ive upgraded to the newest buddypress version. And have made a child theme, which the admin bar working perfect in..

Its just in the normal blogs its broke and loads as a mess of links in the footer..

Any help would be appreciated. Im kinda going insane here >.<

@buddyin – try your bp installation with just one instance of BP. my best guess is that your http://blogin.in/ and http://blogin.in/meme/ BP installations could be conflicting with each other — i’d just take out the meme one and stick with your root version.

@travel-junkie – thank you for the great advice! so glad to know that there is a better way around that issue

i’m using buddypress default theme. configured wpmu to use subdomains

bug bug bug ?

themes not working for other registered users as wordpress mu do no user theme no name on and url on page its look like work well with only one admin user and his group but if some one want to make own them and blogs and even like this http://mahi.buddyin.com no other than home page and plugin only working !!! what if any one want to open website like me for everyone who want to register his own blogin and grouping page

Hey Mfgmk,

I know this is a bit late to reply to your comment from two weeks ago, but I just only read it now.

You shouldn’t copy functions.php from the parent theme to the child theme. It’ll throw errors. There’s another way to get rid of that third sidebar. Create an empty functions.php file in your child theme folder (all the functions from the parents functions.php will still work). In it you put this piece of code:

function sv_remove_sidebar()

{

unregister_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' );

}

add_action(  'admin_init', 'sv_remove_sidebar' );

In the above example 4 is the ID of the sidebar. If a sidebar doesn’t have a specific name to identify it with WP will give it automatically a name like sidebar-ID, which is the case with the default parent theme. Then you set the sidebar you just unregistered to display:none in your CSS file and you should be all set, plus you didn’t touch any parent theme files.

i have installed Buddypress and WMu everything is working okay but i login as users all other link except home not working at all its shows page not found

please help with this

http://blogin.in/meme/

thanks in advance

dosn’t work for me neither.

i added the code to functions.php and the fun file in “bp-sn-parent” and the child theme (and both), system alsways says “not found”

hey guys, i REALLY need to be able to do this. i followed all the instructions exact but it’s not showing up, just getting the home page. I’m wondering if it has to do with putting the SLUG in the navigation code? anybody have any ideas?? i even put the services.php page i created in every directory, still no dice. i worked with the bp-sn-parent/functions.php, put the services.php in bp-sn-parent, themes, themes/mytheme, and wp-content.

@profitsbuzz – try the updated forums that ship with bp 1.1+ because they’re a bit better than the previous version (and very easy to install). otherwise, you can try your luck with the simplepress plugin.

Hmm…so we have to hard code the full path of the child theme logo.

Is there not a function like bloginfo(‘template_url’), something like bloginfo(‘child_template_url’); ?

following on this topic, is there a way to remove the buddypress bar from the tld.com and leave it on members.tld.com ? or just adjust the available links on that bar.

Thanks

Your theme colors made my eyes hurt..

Sounds like an interesting project though, nicely done.

Btw, isn’t it just called a portfolio website..?

I do not mind using the buddypress theme, however I do not like the forum config with bbpress can I work my way around it.

Hey,

yep, you can do it that way.

Just fyi, get_header() also accepts one variable, $name. So if you write this in a template:

get_header('blog');

then WP will look for a file called header-blog.php in your theme files and include that one instead your normal header.php file.

Have a look at the get_header function. Maybe you’re lucky and there’s a filter applied to $name. Then you could just write a function that does it all for you and you won’t even have to touch the header.php file in your parents theme.

Well… without knowing what you’re trying to do or what changes you’re making… I can’t really comment. I modified the default theme… including layout changes… and I never had any problem with Safari / Chrome. I almost never have any problems with Safari / Chrome. It’s almost unheard of that I come across a rendering bug in Webkit.
