BuddyPress.org

If you wanted to add a heading to your Members Directory template, there are two methods:

1. Override the Members Directory template part:

The template part is the actual template file used to render the Members Directory output.

Copy /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php

To:

wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/buddypress/members/index.php

And make whatever changes you need to make.

2. Override the Members Directory template hierarchy:

https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

Template hierarchy basically means a page template used for the surrounding template part.

If you don’t want to read the guide above, basically, copy your theme’s page.php and move it to /buddypress/members/index-directory.php in your theme’s directory. Then, add your heading before the page loop.

It’s responsive for WordPress default themes like one of the Twenty themes.

@hnla – Perhaps we should extend responsive support for the registration screen to bp-legacy / bp-nouveau directly instead. I know breakpoints will be an issue, but we could probably settle on a width.

The log-in page is a WordPress page. There is a guide on how to customize it:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form

The registration page is created by BuddyPress and can be modified in many ways. You’ll need to understand theme compatibility and overriding templates:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

So you could create your own copy of buddypress/members/register.php in your theme to make big changes, or potentially hook into the action bp_before_register_page to just add some html to top of the BP page.

Best of luck.

You will need to modify the template file. See the Template Hierarchy article for more info.

Template Hierarchy

Hi,

BuddyPress pages are not ordinary WordPress pages. These pages should be blank, without any template assigned. BP pages exist only for internal purpose and to have their own slug (and the benefit of permalinks). The content is always dynamic and change depending the context.

That is also the reason why you shouldn’t use a “page builder” for them untill you’re very comfortable with code and design.

If you need a full width output or a sidebar, you adjust that in your theme settings or preferences. You can easely do that with WP’s Customizer. Or course reading your theme documentation can also help.

If it is not possible that way, i recommand you use a child-theme, and add him any necessary part you’re actually missing. But ensure first that these parts are really missing !

BuddyPress comes with a few CSS rules who normally fit with any correctly coded theme. This means that it actually can be used with almost any existing theme.
BuddyPress has no sidebar
BuddyPress can be viewed on any existing device
BuddyPress fit to any screen size
This means that you have to adjust your theme first, and not BP.

Hi,

open your buddypress-nk_NO.po file with a text editor (notepad++ or so) and check you have a plural form for the untranslated string.

The’re several strings containing “members” with a count, but it will be easy to find if you search for “msgid_plural”.
At least, you should find something constructed like this:

#: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/groups/invites.php:34
msgctxt "Group member count"
msgid "%d member"
msgid_plural "%d members"
msgstr[0] "%d medlem"
msgstr[1] "%d medlemmer"

Again, note that it is only an example, you may find other strings containing “medlem” that you have eventually to adjust.

The important thing to control is the existence of “%d” and naturally, the presence of the plural form string in the translation.

If you still have trouble after controling/repairing/modifying, it could be possible that it is your theme. To ensure, do the same check in your theme translation.

Other thing to take in account

I’m not 100% sure, but so far i remember, the norvegian buddypress version is not completely translated.
Unfortunately, translate.wordpress.org is actually down and it is impossible to access the plugins translations at this time…

What i expect is that you have an old po file, fully translated, but perhaps not with the most recent changes and updates, which could explain that even if you have plural forms in your translation, they won’t show up in some places.
For ex. because the plural code changed from %s (in your version) to %d or something like that.
To avoid this, you can download the most recent pot file and rename it to buddypress-nk_NO.po.
Then you rename YOUR current version to .pot(with a T), import it to the new file, and adjust or complete the missing strings.

It took me awhile to think about what might be causing the issue and I just remembered the problem.

It’s a theme conflict with BuddyPress.

BuddyPress adds the CSS class hidden to a group in the group loop. Some themes might already have a .hidden class declared, so hidden groups are not shown because of this.

Can you add the following CSS snippet to your CSS?

#buddypress .bp-single-group.hidden {display:block;}

I believe this should fix your problem.

Do you have the friends component active?

It could be caused by the at-mentions suggestions code.

Try disabling it by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php file:
remove_action( 'bp_activity_mentions_prime_results', 'bp_friends_prime_mentions_results' );

Sounds like a problem with your theme. What theme are you using?

Also, on your production site, you should disable debug messages such as those by changing WP_DEBUG to false in wp-config.php.

Have you tried with another theme, like Twenty Fifteen ?
You wwill have more chance if you ask on the mediapress support.

Moved to a separate topic.

It is pretty difficult to help you as you give no details about your install.
Do you use a child theme and/or custom functions ?
Do you use a media plugin ?

Have you started to debug: deactivate all plugins but BP, changed your theme in favour of a Twenty theme, activate wp_debug in wp-config.php ?

You probably just need to copy the content of your old child theme buddypress directory into your new childtheme directory.

Copy the whole content of that example file into bp-custom.php.

You can also transform it into a mu-plugin by just adding it some header information.

Once done, you can test the tabs and try to understand how they work. And then apply your own preference.

Being a premium theme the best thing to do is contact their support team. Unfortunately, because the SocialChef theme’s code is private there’s not much we can do here to help.

Looking at the given code in the first topic let think that you try something hazardous 🙂

<h2 class='user-displayname'>

   <?php bp_displayed_user_displayname(); ?>

<small>@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></small>

</h2>

h2 is a title tag whith (generally) a fixed size, depending your theme. Whatever that size is, anything inside the title tag will be affected by his size.

This means in this case, that your <small> tag is affected by <h2>. So if the h2 is set to 15px and small is not defined, both will be 15px.

You probably have to declare correctly your CSS classes as explained here.

FYI, there is a similar template which is cover-image-header.php which you c(sh)ould try to use for your modifications. Maybe the profile page will show up like you want, specially if you allow your members to change their profile header ? 😉

Have you changed theme over the past week or installed new plugins?

Can you show us the full path you have to your child theme’s member-header.php file?

It should be your-theme/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

Dude I also rode around for at least a week to find all the information to do my way. But I did and it’s working a lot. I’m going to code for you.
The comments are in English, use google to translate.
See example there on my platform soamigo.com.br

See the ready code just put in the functions.php file of your theme.
