    switch to the default themes, I bet that will fix your problem, telling you the issue is with your theme.. they say 99% of the time it’s your custom theme

    Bdegier-

    As JFcarter suggests, you should make a backup of your database before beginning this process. Your BuddyPress data should be in the same DB as your WPMU data. You also may have some image files in other locations, so back those up as well. Finally, be carful of what you delete in wp-content. If you have any customized themes, or 3rd-party plugins, you will want to make sure you have a backup just in case.

    Now, upgrading WPMU: Unless this issue has been recently fixed, you cannot use the auto update feature to upgrade WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 to the public release version of WPMU 2.7.1. This is because the upgrade script “sees” WPMU 2.7.1 = WPMU 2.7.1, meaning it does not upgrade you from beta1 since it thinks you are already running 2.7.1.

    So, you need to do the old manual upgrade of WPMU following these procedures.

    Upgrading BuddyPress: follow these instructions.

    I make my changes in bp-member.

    Only other thing I can think of is that you should go into the admin panel and check under Buddypress (almost at the bottom of the page). In the general area, you can select a theme for members. Select one, submit it and see what happens.

    Gordon, JFC–

    Thanks for the help. I went into the bpmember folder and changed the base.css to show different colors and the new logo (as on the home page) but still no change. Maybe more files need to be modified? All I’m trying to do is change the logo from the socialnetworking one supplied with the installation, and the colors at the top, and some text colors … same changes that I made to the CSS file base.css for the home page of the site. Any suggestions? (Sorry to be such a NitWit! :-)

    This might be the long version, but

    1. When I needed to upgrade, I backed up my database and copied all the buddypress files into another file called “bosox” (just make up a name). I think you may need to copy your avatars and other stuff into your new install from the old one, so don’t delete the old Buddypress files for awhile!

    2. Then I added the Buddypress files to their new locations and activated it. If you have heavy customization to CSS, you’ll need to re-do the changes (reference your old CSS files).

    3. You’ll also need to:

    – select and activate themes

    – move all your plugins to the new plugin location (it changes in 1.0 from your version)

    – copy avatar files into the new location (I had to do this, but not everyone did)

    Those are the basics. All the best to you!

    @kitwit

    I usually update the themes/bphome (for the basic site) and wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember (which controls the member and directory pages). I update them separately because I sometimes want certain customizations with the member profiles and not for the main part of the site.

    All the best to you!

    You did follow this:

    https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypres

    and do have the member them in the correct place?

    where it says:

    6. The plugins are now activated and running, but you will need to move the themes to the correct locations. Move /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ to /wp-content/bp-themes/

    7. You can use any WordPress theme as your root blog theme, but BuddyPress comes bundled with an extra “home” theme that you can optionally use. To install it, move /wp-content/bp-themes/bphome/ to /wp-content/themes/bphome/.

    you will then need to edit the member theme to reflect similar changes in the base theme.

    Hope that helps.

    @Kitwit,

    You\’ll also need to edit the member-theme css files- these control the look of Members / groups pages etc.

    If you\’ve installed it properly then they should be in /wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/css

    as per here: http://mypartyonparty.biz

    @Maythil – If you’re on a Mac… download a copy of CSS Edit:

    http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/

    This editor makes it ridiculously simple to “reverse engineer” CSS code. In the “x-ray” mode you can click any element on the screen and it tells you what the container is (along with all of it’s parent elements). You can also bring up an “inspector” that will show you all CSS declarations that are affecting that element. And you can even modify the CSS and see the changes as you type the code. I’m not sure if there is anything similar for PC… but there must be.

    I actually took a quick look myself using CSS Edit and the difference between profile pages and other pages seems to be that profile pages have two left sidebars with a fixed width of 138px (#optionsbar and #userbar) while the other pages have a single right sidebar (#sidebar) without any width defined (i.e. 100%). Meanwhile, #main is used on all pages and has a min-width of 680px. So unless you change some CSS code… the profile pages will always be at least 956px wide.

    How did you change the CSS? One thing to bear in mind is that the default theme is fluid. It has min and max widths set. It sounds like you want a fixed width of 800px all the time (no bigger, no smaller… regardless of window size). So… did you remove the min/max on the body and change it to 800? Did you remove the min-width on #main and change it to… let’s say… 560px (allowing 120px each for those two sidebars in the profile)?

    Anyway… as mentioned above… this is not a bug and has nothing to do with BuddyPress development. It’s just CSS 101. But I feel you pain. Hopefully the above is some help.

    p.s. Did you look at Elgg during your evaluation? It has some features I need that BP currently lacks… but BP is clearly much superior otherwise.

    1) posting this in another thread is not going to get anyone to answer your questions any sooner: in fact, the opposite is more likely.

    2) some web developers, myself included, consider IE6 an unsupported browser due to its poor standards support. Consider upgrading to IE7 or 8, if you don’t want to switch to firefox.

    3) IF this is a problem with the default themes, then once you resolve the issue please consider creating a patch and submitting it on trac.

    Socialpreneur: Ok thanks.

    Would I have to edit the header.php for both the home and bpmember theme? So I would add the same code to both files?

    <div id="header">
    <h1 id="logo"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php bp_site_name() ?></a></h1>

    <ul id="nav">
    <li<?php if ( bp_is_page( 'home' ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
    <li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bp_home_blog_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
    <li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

    <?php if ( function_exists( 'groups_install' ) ) { ?>
    <li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_GROUPS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
    <?php } ?>

    <?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_blogs_install' ) ) { ?>
    <li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
    <?php } ?>

    <?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>
    </ul>
    </div>

    If I wanted to add another menu-link would I have to add something like this to both header.php files? Saying the new page was called ‘pagename’:

    <?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_pagename_install' ) ) { ?>
    <li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_PAGENAME_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_PAGENAME_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Pagename', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Pagename', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>
    <?php } ?>

    Or is this wrong? Just wanna make sure I do it right. :)

    http://ourcommoninterest.org/downloads/bpcontents013.zip

    Changes 0.13

    – Added OCI_Container::delete() to delete the current container and all it’s children

    – Removed OCI_Tree::tree_get_containers($node), added tree_get_children($node, $type)

    – Changing thing to remove php 5 dependencies.

    – Made all class methods static where possible, yes Andy it’s better this way

    – Added OCI_Template_Items class for container template loops in themes, no pretty bells and whistles yet. I cut out all non-essential things to understand it better.

    – Added a few oci_get_the_item_xxx(), oci_the_item_xxx() template tag functions to test the template class.

    – Added a oci-test-template.php file for testing the template class and template tags. I drop it into the bp home theme dir and create a wp page using that as a template for the page. It’ll show up as “OCI Test Template” in the wp back end.

    – To use the template you need to point the loop start tag to an existing container like “/recent” if you are testing using blog posts.

    <?php if ( oci_has_items(“/recent”)) : ?>

    Point it to where ever you are sending blog posts. The following in oci_contents_setup_globals() sends blog posts from any blog to /recent and /other/place

    $recent = new OCI_Container(“/recent”, true);

    $other = new OCI_Container(“/other/place”, true);

    $oci->listeners->blog_posts = new OCI_Item_Blog_Post_Listener();

    $oci->listeners->blog_posts->add_destination(“/recent”);

    $oci->listeners->blog_posts->add_destination(“/other/place”);

    So you can change the loop start tag to:

    <?php if ( oci_has_items(“/other/place”)) : ?>

    Then browse to your new test template page to view the results instead of using oci_test_print_tree.php to just dump the tree.

    I renamed those two files, placed the code in them that I wanted to work sitewide, and uploaded back to the css folder of the bphome directory. Nothing happened. Maybe you could give me a little more direction about exactly where these files should go? I’d sure appreciate it!

    KitWit
    Participant

    I see those files (site-wide-sample.css and custom-sample.css) in the bphome folder. If I change those, do I put them back to the places where they currently reside? Does the bphome folder control the look of these other parts of the site? I’m confused about which files control which parts of the site. If there is some kind of structural documentation on BuddyPress, showing which parts files are controlling, that would be great. It isn’t transparent enough from the structure of the files themselves (at least not for a non-programmer). Thanks!

    @Andy,

    I tried using the default themes and the same problem persists. I could really use a pointer on where to even begin looking for a fix for this.

    use site-wide.css or custom.css they’re within the themes you’ve downloaded.

    I would like to install buddypress onto my existing wordpress install (regular wordpress not wordpress mu).

    At this time, BuddyPress only works with WPMU 2.7.1. You cannot use it with single-version WordPress.

    How would I upgrade this to a wordpress mu/buddypress install?

    https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=11126

    will this integrate with my current wordpress theme

    No. You will either need to use the standard BuddyPress themes that come with the package, or update your custom themes as detailed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/upgrading-from-rc-1/

    yeah, it was in v1.1 for sure. i used it for my first component. i found a reference in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-example/bp-example-cssjs.php in v1.1. I tried adding this back myself and it didn’t work.

    Gladsteins, there won’t be a /members directory in your structure.

    Within your /bp-themes/ directory are there themes in there? Namely bpmember? If your /bp-themes/ directory is empty, then nothing will show up in your settings screen.

    Let me ask all of you a question. On your root blog, the main blog of your site, what do you all have your WordPress MU Permalinks set to? Admin->Settings->Permalinks

    Did someone establish a new thread for this topic? I want to do the same thing. Can’t understand why BuddyPress can’t make the same theme available for anyone who signs on and creates a blog … I’ve modified my BuddyPress files and logo to show the colors and style I want–very simple adjustment to the standard BuddyPress theme–and I want that theme to be the same theme that everyone else uses no matter who they are … and for all pages to show up the same way.

    http://buddypress.mountainprideconnections.com

    This is a test site. Very basic.
