Using WP 2013 theme, I can overload the members-loop and the changes are visible.
iow. I can’t duplicate your issue.

Try adding some text to the top of your template overload.

Check your plugins/bp-custom.php, if you have one, for functions re the members loop.

Deactivate any plugins re members loop.

It could be that your theme is loading its own version of members-loop.
To confirm switch momentarily to a WP theme like 2013 and see if your edits appear.

Which themes does the problem happen on?

Hi @dave8528,

Replying to your q in the other thread here. Firstly if you aren’t already doing so, make sure whatever changes/amendments to code are done in a child theme if you aren’t doing so already (Google search WordPress Child Themes).

Just checked the code and it seems to be working fine. You may not be seeing the button if you have cover images activated on your profile pages? If you do, the file you want is “cover-image-header.php” The member-header.php is used when cover images aren’t active. Was just using it as an example location.

Since I could not find bp-custom.php and I found out that it not a default file, so the directions here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/ says to create it manually – which I did and added the above code as you directed. Then I located member-header.php in following directory tree shown below and added your code:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

But, I don’t see it working! Did I get the files mixed up?
Thanks for all help.

Hi @missgridiron,

Add this to your 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' );

Then add the code below to wherever you want the button to appear (e.g. in the member-header.php file of your child theme if you want a button in your profile page header):

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

for reference: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/add-friend-button-everywhere/

This is happening to me as well. I use Genesis as my theme. No custom cover photo sizes have been set either. I find it strange that the error is 0px.

Hi,

By default the avatar sizes are :
– 150x150px for Full size
– 50x50px for thumb size

If a message is asking for a different minimum size, then it’s meaning a plugin or a theme is using some of our filters/constants to edit these sizes.

You can search for this filter bp_core_avatar_full_width or this constant BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH outside of BuddyPress to find who’s setting the size to be 580x580px.

You can add functionality to BuddyPress using plugins. If a particular feature isn’t available as a plugin you could try implement it yourself or ask a coder for help. BuddyPress has a huge API that will help.

The look and feel of your website is governed by the theme you choose.

If you already have a dev site operational, try out some different plugins and themes to see which ones work best for your project.

Ref:

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\create.php

Add a conditional that checks user level at the top.

Or use the do_action hook ( read 2nd answer ) at the top of that file:
do_action( 'bp_before_create_group_page' );
and write a function in your theme/functions.php

Hi,

normally you have a filter upon the activity stream so you can sort it by different activities. By default, a stream use “anything”.

Settings > BuddyPress > Settings -> Activity Settings and make sure that “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” is checked. And also “Allow search engines”.

While testing, i recommand that you use one of Twenty’s theme first. Just in case of… 😉

In my own exploration, it seems as though Social Chef does NOT support cover images – there on none on the example site on themeforest.

I do intend to implement them myself in a child theme.

The images are not stored in the database.
They are stored in the uploads folder.
For a member with user_id = 1:
/wp-content/uploads/buddypress/members/1/cover-image/

To remove the cover photo, use the ‘Delete My Cover Image’ button at the bottom of this screen:
.../members/designloud/profile/change-cover-image/

If you don’t see that button, it may be an issue with your theme.
To confirm, try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2013

Hi,

did you enabled Options de notification component in BP settings ?
Do you omited a custom function somewhere (bp-custom or theme functions.php) ?
Do you have the same problem when your site is in english ?

Hi,

read here pls:

Activity dropdown filters in templates

Use your theme CSS file.

Ask on bbPress forum and read the documentation:
