BuddyPress.org

@loralai I looked at the source code and jQuery files are missing. Aside from which, there are two versions of the CSS from BuddyPress, the regular one and the minified one, and the same goes for the JS from BuddyPress, one minified and the other is not.

Open up your theme’s header.php file and make sure that <?php wp_head(); ?> is placed immediately before the closing </head> in your theme. Remove the hard-coded BuddyPress stylesheets and JavaScript files (if you did hard code those in your theme).

@loralai Could you please provide more information about your installation like:
– WP/BP versions?
– Where are you hosted?
– If you change to the WP Default Theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, can you crop the image then?

@minglonaire Depends on what theme you’re using? You can always apply the CSS used for the member’s directory list to that of the group member’s list by using browser’s developer tools in Firefox, Chrome, and in latest Internet Explorer.

@rebekahmeuir Deactivate plugins except BuddyPress and change to the Twenty Fifteen theme. Then go to admin dashboard and navigate to Media > Add New. Can you upload images and see the thumbnails of the images you uploaded there?

@mzaidk,

it’s intended so. The button will only show up when you click inside the textbox.

Also, it seems you use BP Default theme. Do you know that you can use any other themme since BP 1.7 ?

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Hi @kphawaii

Which theme are you using? Plugins?

Hi @joesegal

A couple of things spring to mind that could be the cause of the problem:

1. The theme you’re using (Try TwentyFifteen)
2. The plugins you have installed (Try deactivating all plugins after switching theme to see if the problem resolves)

Hi there,

There’s a chance your theme hasn’t updated its templates. In order to have the activity dropdowns populated, please check your templates are up to date see https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/activity-dropdown-filters-in-templates/#use-bp_activity_show_filters-within-your-bp-default-child-theme

@browserco,

thank you for your help, but please, don’t give a 4 years old solution without testing it.
At first, the snippet contains cote errors, and second, it doesn’t work with BP 2.x, as things has changed.

You can easily modify your template loop by using bp_parse_args function.

Here a working example (activity-update is commented – uncomment to see the difference)

You simply have to list what to show. Anything not listed will be ignored, on all activity feeds.

Add this to bp-custom.php or child theme functions.php

function my_bp_activities_include_activity_types( $retval ) {
// only allow the following activity types to be shown
    $retval['action'] = array(
     //   'activity_update',
        'activity_comment',
        'new_blog_post',
        'new_blog_comment',
        'friendship_created',
        'created_group',
    );
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_include_activity_types' );

You’ll probably want to follow this guide:

Twenty Thirteen Theme

The guide is for the twentythirteen theme, but it works as a general guideline with any theme. Replace the references to the twentythirteen theme with your theme and you should be good to go!

Check the Codex documentation, which will guide you on creating a custom buddypress.php page to mirror your themes page.php and in which you could then remove the sidebar from markup.

Mainly the header and footer links/text and the ‘tutorials’ dropdown. The bit where it says “Over a number of videos I will take you through the basics of setting up a solid WordPress theme with…” is big enough I think so perhaps make everything that size.

Screenshot using FireFox:

Hi @marcella1981

I really like how you’re doing subtle hover effects throughout, it makes for a rich feeling when navigating around. I also like the flat design style you’ve chosen.

One thing I struggled to read certain text because it was a bit small. Perhaps make the smallest text 10% bigger by default?

Overall the theme is very unique looking, I’ve not seen a theme that looks like this. Great job so far!
