BuddyPress.org

@georgio-1,

The easiest way is to probably just use CSS on the ID of the name you wish to remove and insert into your style.css file:

#id { 
display: none; 
}

(find the ID using your browser’s developer tools).

The other option is to find the file creating the second name using its ID and delete the code creating it. If it’s BuddyPress then copy the file into your child theme first before deleting. If it’s your bp-cover plugin creating it, then the approach with CSS is probably easiest.

It’s hardcoded. If you know how to customise a theme and write PHP, you can see the implemetnation: https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/functions.php#L355

bbPress does have shortcodes, I’d suggest doing that instead. I don’t know what the shortcode is, I’d suggest searching on bbpress.org.

The code doesn’t remove the bar, it just removes the WordPress logo in the top left.

The code is put in your functions.php file. It is a file you create (if you haven’t already done so) and put in your child theme folder.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Haven’t encountered that problem myself so wouldn’t really know where to start. The code above does work fine with notifying the person you are trying to be friends with (I’ve just double checked on my project).

Might even be a conflict with something in your theme or another plugin you are using. You could also try disabling other plugins to check if that is an issue and switching themes to one of the WordPress default themes to see if it works as it should.

Only other suggestion I can give is to start a new forum thread and maybe someone else has encountered that issue.

Maybe ask the wplms authors for help as to why your cover images aren’t working? I haven’t used that theme so can’t help there.

Glad you finally got there!

sorry for my dumb questions.
my cover imagens aren’t working 🙁 . i tried update but dont change the image.

let me explain, i’m using a wlms theme and not a buddypress theme
this is what i did, first i try tu edit the files functions and cover-image-header from this folder
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default
not work this way.

So finally i WIN !! thanks for u ! hahaha
this is the folder u have to edit ( for future questions by another users )
i edit insite the child theme
/public_html/wp-content/themes/wplms_modern functions.php
and
/public_html/wp-content/themes/wplms_modern/members/single member-header.php

So you are using cover images but they aren’t working? Or do you just mean the button isn’t appearing?

Since you are using cover images the second code segment (number 2 above) needs to be placed in cover-image-header.php . It won’t appear if you put it in member-header.php because that is for profiles when you haven’t activated the use of cover images.

That’s correct it won’t be in your child theme unless you’ve already put it there to make modifications. So it sounds like you need to copy the cover-image-header.php into your child theme following the same file structure. Something like:

mychildtheme>buddypress>members>single

(it goes in the single folder).

Hopefully you’ll see the button now

yes, i have, but doesnt work too.
and i cant find this file cover-image-header.php in my child theme, only in main theme. that’s correct ?
btw thanks for the fast reply

yes, that’s what i did.
i put the first code in functions.php and the second on member-header.php of child theme.

Hi @pedrohgl18,

and another in single.php child theme too.

Do you mean you used the same code twice? i.e. one in functions.php and one in single.php?

1. This code goes in either your bp-custom.php or functions.php (preferably the bp-custom.php):

function add_another_friend_button() {
	$user_id = get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
	$mybutton = bp_add_friend_button( $user_id ); 
	if ( ( is_user_logged_in() && ! bp_is_my_profile() ) ) {
		echo $mybutton;
	}
} 

add_action( 'button_here', 'add_another_friend_button' );

2. Then insert the code below into the file where you wish your button to appear:

<div id="another-friend-button">
	<?php 
		do_action( 'button_here' ); 
	?>
</div><!-- #another-friend-button -->

Also to remove the bar itself for non admins put this in your functions.php :

function remove_admin_bar() {
	if ( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) && !is_super_admin() ) {
	  show_admin_bar(false);
	}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'remove_admin_bar' );

i have the same problem,
i did the same solution but didnt work.

i put this code in funcions.php child theme
function add_another_friend_button() {
$user_id = get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ );
$mybutton = bp_add_friend_button( $user_id );
if ( ( is_user_logged_in() && ! bp_is_my_profile() ) ) {
echo $mybutton;
}
}

add_action( ‘button_here’, ‘add_another_friend_button’ );

and another in single.php child theme too.

any other solution ?

If you use the Theme My Login plugin, you can customise the login template quite easily.

I have the exact same issue, it’s the multi-select ‘checkbox’ fields that display (0 selected) instead of the descriptive placeholder text, that tells users what they should be selecting.

I’m also using the Kleo theme however the Kleo support says it has nothing to do with the responsiveness of their theme. Which I’m inclined to believe, since changing the theme results in the same problem, like Mickey mentioned. So it must be happening somewhere in the Buddypress or BP-search form code. Can we get any help with this? There was one other topic posted 10 months ago, with the same issue and no information was received there either?

Adding this to your style.css in child theme should work:

#wpadminbar { 
    background: transparent; 
}

buddypress.php is a generic template to be using. Take a look at the Template Hierarchy article for info on the various templates available to BuddyPress.

This bbPress article will also be useful: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/

I’m trying to think if there’s anything else you can check. Humm? Usually in cases such as this the problem is caused by either:

• a plugin
• your active theme
• something inside bp-custom.php (if you have one)
• something inside functions.php

It’s strange things work in Chrome but not in FF. I’m wondering if the issue could be JavaScript related?

Hi Sammy

What theme are you using and what plugins do you have activated?
