BuddyPress.org

Please provide the solution…I am having the same issues with my site and I am using a theme by the same developer as Kleo.

Thank you.

Again – Did you try switching to a WP theme like 2015 to determine if the issue is in your theme?

Did you put the profile fields in the ‘Base (Primary)’ group?
By default, only those fields appear on Register.

You’ll probably want to dequeue the style sheet that comes with the plugin and then add your own styles to your theme’s style.css.

You should paste @shanebp’s code into your theme’s functions.php file. That’s where it should go.

Check out Theme My Login. I’ve used it alongside BuddyPress many times and can say it works well.

@karllundgren – glad you hacked up a solution – I wonder if the css style you edited was one that was specific to groups pages, or all bp psuedo pages, are all your pages for your entire site?

If it’s the standard class for all pages are your site then you are essentially hiding the sidebar on all pages for the entire site, which may cause a different problem for you on different pages while solving the problem on your groups page.

If it’s a class that affects just bp page or bp groups, then I may take a look at that theme and how it’s coded for ideas..

IF you are just trying to remove the sidebar for pages – it may be better to edit your page.php file and find / remove “get_sidebar” or whatever as well – it will save a little load time on your server if you remove the call for widgets and stuff that is never to be seen anyway.

Just a few ideas from a bp noob – I’m sure there is more than one way to skin a site properly.

@karllundgren – neat site and tutorial there I agree.

It seems that is a premium theme, not a free theme from the wordpress repository, and it’s certainly not the default 2014 or 2014 wordpress theme – which means you chance of getting answers here (about theme display issues) in the bp forums are pretty slim.

You should direct this question to the theme author. I would be interested in what they come up with as a solution.

@karllundgren – fyi when I click links to your site from here I am given a 403 forbidden.. however backspacing to get to your dot com – then navigating to the sub pages you post they do show.

not sure what theme you are using
/wp-content/themes/Tesseract ??
Is that a wp-repo theme? custom modded 2015?

just trying to add some info to your thing here – I have no clue how to mod the bp-psudo pages like groups.. trying to learn how, but totally clueless at this point myself.

Which is the problem you find ?
Again, Twenty themes on a clean WP/BP install are working and you should see the button on 2014 & 2015.

Can you test with different browsers ?

For sure you can, but without my help now. This is a BuddyPress support, not a theme support and you have to learn and do your home work on your side.

Ok, let’s try something different.
Add a file called functions.php to child root
/child/functions.php
Copy/paste this, including php tags

<?php
// enqueuing the child to parent - don't remove */
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );

/********************** CUSTOM STUFF **********************************/

// other custom function

?>

Inside child’s BuddyPress folder, you can remove anything except CSS and JS folder.

I tested successfully this method applied to Gardenia (free version) before posting it here. Retry. You can also ask the theme author.

hi @tr1stessa,

unable to reproduce your issue.
Do you use a specific plugin for notification ?
Have you tested by using a twenty theme and all plugins deactivated except BP ?
Enable also wp_debug in wp-config and report here if you get some error.

Gardenia is not BP ready.

Create first a child theme. Add a new folder to wp-content/thems/
wp-content/themes/gardenia-child/
Now add a new file and call it style.css
Copy this header comment into it (/* & */ included):

/*
Theme Name: Gardenia-child
Description: child theme
Version: 1.0
Author: XXX
Template: gardenia
*/

Save.

In that folder, add another one called buddypress and another one in this folder called css

Go to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/css/ and copy buddypress.css file into the css folder you created in the child theme.

In legacy/buddypress/ directory, is a js folder. Copy the whole folder into child’s buddypress directory.

End result should be:

/gardenia-child/
/gardenia-child/style.css

/gardenia-child/buddypress/css/buddypress.css

/gardenia-child/buddypress/js/buddypress.js
/gardenia-child/buddypress/js/password-verify.js

Go to dashboard > Appearrance > Theme and activate Gardenia-child.

Done ! The theme shows BuddyPress properly.

One thing is sure: all buttons showing up on a default install of WP/BP using a Twenty theme.

I recommand you built a local site where you can test your customization before applying them to live site.

Use WAMPP or XAMPP or MAMPP and start with a clean WP/BP install + Twenty Fifteen, so you can see the buttons. Once ok, you test your original theme (not the child) as already told you by Shane.
