Hi,

have you correctly set up the child theme ?
You can test the CSS by adding it directly to your theme csss file (just while testing). If it works there, it should work in the child. If not, you have a problem with the child.

It could also be that you use a theme who give you the opportunity to add custom css via the theme settings page. If it is the case, you add the css there.

You can also try by adding !important to each rule. Ie. font-size: 15px!important;

Do you mean html <style> tag or inline css style ?

The form is texturized and use wp_kses filter. To allow some html tags (at your own risk), you can use such a function:(in bp-custom or child theme functions.php)

function bpfr_notice_allowed_tags( $activity_allowedtags ) {

		$activity_allowedtags['p']		= array();
		$activity_allowedtags['strong']		= array();	
		$activity_allowedtags['s']		= array();	

	return $activity_allowedtags;	
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_allowed_tags', 'bpfr_notice_allowed_tags' );

I’ve tested BuddyPress on Twenty Fifteen and Twenty Sixteen recently, both work great. Outside of those 2 themes you’ll have many choices but my best advice would be to set up a testing site and try out before you go live.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

color scheme’s are usually defined by the theme. Positioning elements needs some ID’s or class correctly defined and a medium knowledge for HTML & CSS handling.

if you create a child theme, you can change a lot of things related to BuddyPress, including CSS.

Read through the theme guidelines on BP Codex to get a general overview and check also the documentation of your theme.

Unfortunately, you use a premium theme and, as we have no access to his code, we can’t assist you more for it. Any questions related to it should be asked on your theme support.

But don’t hesitate to search the BuddyPress forum using keywords like css, template and so on…

Manually delete the existing entries.
Place this in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php to prevent creation of new entries.

function bp_activity_do_not_save( $activity_object ) {
	$exclude = array(
	        'updated_profile',
	        'new_member'
	    );
	
	if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
		$activity_object->type = false;
}
add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'bp_activity_do_not_save', 10, 1 );

Sorry, I haven’t tested the plugin i mentionned. You’re right it doesn’t show a button but simply display favorites differently.

OK, here is a snippet you can add to bp-custom.php which will add a Favorite button to blog posts.

Note
the function works with currrent BP version (2.6.2).
The grey side of this solution is that you have to use a child-theme and to tweak a little the way the button will show. This is very theme dependant and would not be used the same way if you use ie. Twenty Sixteen or ie. Graphene.

While using 2016, you can simply echo the button on the template.
If you use a more complex theme, you could probably use an existing action hook of the theme. This means that you need a function who hooks into such a predefined placeholder.

In any case, the file to modify is your theme’s single.php. Copy it into the child theme to get:
/wp-content/themes/child-theme/single.php

If you don’t see any do_action( ‘something’ ), you add the following in an appropriate place:

echo get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post );
Certainly inside the post loop, and probably below the post and before the comments.

If you see some action hooks in single.php, you add this function to bp-custom:

function fav_buttons() {
  echo get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post );
}
add_action( 'graphene_before_comment_template', 'fav_buttons' );

You need to change graphene_before_comment_template to the action name used by your theme.

add_action( 'graphene_before_comment_template'

Hope to be clear.

And here the function for the button:

function get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post ) {
global $bp, $activities_template, $post;

	// only show the button to logged-in users
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
	return '';
	}
	
	$activity_id = bp_activity_get_activity_id( array(
		'user_id' => $post->post_author,
		'type' => 'new_blog_post',
		'component' => 'blogs',
		'item_id' => 1,  // blog_ID
		'secondary_item_id' => $post->ID // post_ID
		) );
	
	if ( ! $activity_id ) {
	return '';
	}

	bp_has_activities(); // update $activities_template with user's favs
	$old_value = false;
		
	if ( isset( $activities_template->activity->id ) ) {
		$old_value = $activities_template->activity->id;
		$activities_template->activity->id = $activity_id;
	} else {
		$activities_template->activity = (object) array( 'id' => $activity_id );
	}
	
	// build the template
	$code = '';
	$code .= '<div class="activity-meta">'."\n";

		if ( ! bp_get_activity_is_favorite() ) {
		// if not favorited, add a "Favorite" button
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_get_activity_favorite_link( ).'" class="button fav bp-secondary-action" title="Add to my favorites">Favorite</a>'."\n";
		
		} else {
		
		// else, add "Unfavorite" button
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link( ).'" class="button unfav bp-secondary-action" title="Remove from my favorites">Unfavorite</a>'."\n";
		
		// Bonus button: "View all my favorites"
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_loggedin_user_domain() . 'activity/favorites/" class="button unfav bp-secondary-action">View all my favs</a>'."\n";
		}
		
	// closing .activity-meta
	$code .= '</div>'."\n"; 

	if ( false !== $old_value ) {
		$activities_template->activity->id = $old_value;
	} else {
		//$activities_template->activity = null;
$activities_template->activity = (object) array( 'id' => $activity_id );
	}
	return $code;

}

And voila !

Salut,

members are deleted 3 or 4 days after their registration
Perhaps simply because they deleted their account ? 😉
Check Settings > BuddyPress > Options
Suppression de compte []Les membres peuvent supprimer eux-mêmes leur compte

or some custom function in theme or bp-custom ?

To know if it is related to theme, Force Photo or any other plugin, deactivate it(them) and see if it change something.

Nothing better at the moment.

Is the child theme only good for Buddypress editing? YES

Or can I use it to edit another plugin as well? NO
Plugins don’t have (at the moment) a child-plugin.

Hi,

no need to triple post. One topic is enought. (i deleted the 2 others).

You have trouble with a plugin, and this plugin has is own support. You have to ask there and give more details about your install (WP/BP version, used theme name, plugin list).

Hi @bastianernst

guess you made some mistake while activating BuddyPress and using your theme. Probably you have also some other plugins in use ?

So, aside from reading absolutely throuhg the install BP documentation, i strongly recommand that you check the site fonctionnalities by using only:

WP+BP+Twenty Sixteen theme. No other plugin, no custom code.

If you allowed registration, you have a login widget (the one coming with WP) you can activate in the sidebar. Do this for testing the password change (click on lost password ?) once active.

Also on the basic install, you should have all BP menus in the usermenu (top right corner) and on a user profile.

Once anything ok on this install, upload BP Default Data plugin and activate it. This will add fake datas in all parts of BP, so you have content everywhere that let you test completely the site.

Go through and see how it works.

If all seems ok, you can then activate the final theme. Simply remind that BP pages should be empty, without any content or template model.
Don’t forget to set up pretty permalinks (whatever but by default) and with a little luck, you’ll be on the right path.

Hi,

it’s wrong !

1) You add only copies of the files you want to modify. The original templates are in
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

2) the path in a child should respect the original directories, like this
wp-content/themes/graphene-child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php

Hi,
Buddypress doesn’t ship with reduxframework files. You are probably using a premium theme. I suggest you deactivate all plugins except buddypress, activate twentysixteen theme and then test. This will rule out any theme conflicts. If it works with default theme, you’d know the issue lies somewhere in your theme.

Hi there,
This appears to be some javascript issue, possibly an eror in your theme’s or some other plugin’s javascript code. Without looking at your website, it’s hard to guess anything.
Have you tried ruling out plugin&theme confilcts by disabling plugins and switching to default theme?

hi Henry @henrywright,

wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-en_GB.mo

this path is the one used by GlotPress’s official automated translation updates for BP (and any other plugin translation if it exist). Same behave for the languages/themes/ directory.

If you add a customized po/mo there, it will be overwritten at next update !

Since i18n new improvements in WP 4.6, the only way to keep the integrity of a custom translation actually, so far i know, is to use this plugin: wpt-custom-mo-file, who allows you to override and use your own translation files for any WordPress themes or plugins.

Just to let you know. 🙂

The answer is yes and yes!

Yes a BP theme is a WP theme that has been optimised for BP.

And yes, if you create a child theme and copy the PHP file into wp-content/mychildtheme/buddypress/etc the file will be protected from bp updated.

Try this in your theme/functions.php

function shanebp_the_title( $title, $id ) {

     if ( bp_is_user() ) 
	 if ( $title == bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() )
	     $title = '';

     return $title;
	
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'shanebp_the_title', 100, 2 );

I’m not an expert but I think that would involve doing a template overload of the user profile php files and editing the files in the members/single section.
