@mas6ce That upper sidebar content above the Search form:

HIDE/SHOW FORM
name 
location 
mentor or mentee
导师／mentor
学员／mentee

is most probably integrated with the theme you have activated now. Since that is a commercial theme, we ask that you please go to their official support channel, so you can get support from the people who know it best.

Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why it is not working properly. Other community members who may have faced your issue might be able to help you but your best bet is your product’s developer. Keep in mind we encourage you to use the official support venues, as it allows the developers to be aware of issues with their code and gives back to the community in a more robust way.

Issue is whenever user post a comment

@mjc82in Just so we’re clear, when you say “post a comment”, do you mean post a comment in the comment form of a blog post? If so, that could be an issue with a theme which needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest WP and BP versions.

What theme are you using? Have you tried changing to the Twenty Fifteen theme and check if issue is resolved?

I can give access to my site to one of the moderators or developer if it helps.

We will ask for a throw-away (not admin) account should the need arise. But at this stage, it’s looking to be a theme issue, not a BuddyPress bug. So your problem is not resolved by changing the theme, do provide answers to all the questions in the link I gave you so we can see the overall structure of your installation.

I believe this theme compatibility problems is better to discuss with theme authors. I googled and found several issues with this particular theme, that users can’t fix by themselves.

BuddyPress tries to work with all possible themes, and it’s very hard to be good with everyone. In my opinion, theme authors should check their themes with popular plugins.

The easiest solution is to use JavaScript here.

Based on this: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/target-only-external-links/
You can do like this:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#activity-stream a').filter(function() {
   return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;
}).attr("target", "_blank");
});

You should add this to js file of your theme of plugin.

Each network should be different, should uses different plug-ins and has a different themes.

You definitely should not use multi-site.

Remove everything and start over.

Then make sure you can access your subdomains in a browser.
For example: http://yoursubdomain.com
If you can’t, then contact your hosting provider.
You need access before you can do anything else.

Most cPanels have a Software tab that includes an installer for WP.
Run it on each of your subdomains.
Then go to wp-admin and start adding themes and plugins.

I think activate.php

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/activate.php

To edit you will first want to copy it to your own theme’s buddypress folder

All fields that are in the first Base fields groups will appear on registration page.
So you can just move those fields to another fields group, that you can create on this page /wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup using this link http://cosydale.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup&mode=add_group.

Another option

Find the ID of a field that you want to hide in admin area (when you edit the field it’s in the URL like this /wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup&group_id=1&field_id=2&mode=edit_field = field_id=2 is what you need), make sure that this field is NOT required, then open style.css of your theme and add there something like this:
#profile-details-section.register-section .editfield.field_2 {display:none}
For reference: http://take.ms/lONUD

Just seen your response:

>To be honnest I haven’t a regular licence for this theme so I cannot expect technical support.

And we are limited in the help we can offer on premium themes sadly.

Those look to be modified files, not the copies from the BP core plugin, the cover-image-header.php file appears to be missing some elements necessary.

Again as my earlier comment have you asked this question of the themes authors, you need to as we can’t really support third party custom work, if they find that there is indeed an issue with the core implementation then we’ll definitely look into it.

Also you could look to test things by ensuring you are running a copy of the files taken from the core bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/ directory.

Have you asked this premium themes authors/developers about this issue?

While there may be an issue we haven’t spotted, setting up to try and reproduce is somewhat time consuming so it would be good to have acknowledgement from the themes devs that this isn’t an issue that needs dealing with in this theme rather than with BP core implementation.

Can we be clear what theme/buddypress/css/ refers to is this a reference to the core BP plugin or is this a BP ready theme that you are running a child theme from?

Cover image styles are loaded as ’embedded’ ( styles written to the head of a document within style tags) styles so not a mystery 🙂

?
In a help thread you are meant really to attempt to describe a problem, not simply post a SC.

If you want to know whether this is theme related then you activate one of the default WP twenty* themes and establish whether the issue still exists.

Hi, I also get this issue. We have random 404s that are difficult to recreate when trying to debug the problem, but occur randomly when users user the site. It is on non buddypress pages, and once a user gets a 404, non buddy press pages all 404 for a brief period. we have tried everything – disabling all persistent caches, changing themes, clearing caches, event switching hosting from linux to windows.

if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

@hnla Hi Hugo, thanks for your feedback.

I’ve updated the Stack Exchange question to better reflect what I’m looking to do. I also updated the answer with a second link to the Buddypress codex for those looking to do less specific Buddypress theming. Additionally, I added a disclaimer saying it is not the recommended method. Without any specific mistakes pointed out that’s about the best I can do for now.

As for removing it, I’m sure it will be put on hold soon enough, seems they don’t like Buddypress (third party plugin) questions over there.

Until then the answer solves my question and I can see it being useful for people looking to heavily customize things, I myself have been referring to it constantly. I would have been ecstatic to have found something like it 3 weeks ago when I began working on a buddypress theme.

Of course, my being a noob means that answer will not be perfect. I will however keep it updated as I learn more and if there’s someone willing to better answer it I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only appreciative one.

Apologies for hijacking this thread, wasn’t sure where better to reply.

I don’t know which theme you’re using so I can only offer some basic, general css advice.

The numbers are in a table column, each number is in a table cell. In the html the table cell is written as <td>

I’m not sure if you can or will want to remove the numbers column entirely, there may be some buddypress inserted code in there (#id’s, etc) that helps identify each row <tr> for a buddypress function.

What you can do is make that column narrower or possibly hide it from displaying on screen while keeping the (possibly) important code in place.

With Firefox or Chrome right click on a cell and choose ‘inspect element’.

This will show you the html code in that area.

You want to find the cell <td> that wraps around the numbers then identify its class. There may be a couple of different classes in each <td> that buddypress inserts.

To help find which class you want to work with add a background-color: red; to different classes til you find the right one that applies to all cells in the column.

(if you cant find a class that applies to only the numbers column you will need to get into a little more complex css using nth and similar methods)

Once you find the right one open your themes style.css file and place on the bottom of it the class with your new styles.

Try something like ..

.className {visibility: hidden;} to hide it

or

.className {width: 10%;} to adjust it’s width relative to the overall width. (would want to adjust the other columns cell widths to compensate. may also be some other elements within the cell with their own widths set.)

There are numerous ways to target those cells for styling and different things that may prevent the above ideas from working but I’d better leave it at that for now.

@wp_new_user

Keep it simple.

For example, to overload this file:
/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php

Copy it to here:
/yourtheme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php
and make your changes.

@rlfstars So did you build the website yourself? If you did you should sort of be able to retrace some of the steps you took before Buddypress suddenly quit as you have described, can you explain what you mean a little better about Buddypress suddenly quiting? do you mean certain parts of Buddypress stopped working or didn’t work as it was before? or do you mean Buddypress somehow got deactivated? there must of been something that triggered what you are describing for it to happen in the first place, I am just finding it very strange the way you are describing Buddypress as suddenly quiting.

First off, try to ask yourself a few of these questions below and think back:

Did you install any new plugins after you had set Buddypress up and had it working?
Did you by any chance have Buddypress working with your current theme and plugin configuration or was it all working correctly when it was on another theme?
How much memory does your wordpress install have allocated to it?
Did you do a WordPress version update recently? the newer versions of WordPress since 4.0 are known to have broke quite a few older plugins that are outdated or don’t have much support. maybe this could be causing a clash…I dunno?

I know your site is live and you don’t want to mess things up and maybe you are worried about deactivating some of your plugins, but have you yet tried deactivating plugins one at a time and then with each deactivation tried to reactivate Buddypress?

In future it may be better for you to also have some form of testing environment too (preferably a local install), this will allow you to test as many different plugins/theme combinations and tweak things such as combining scripts etc before doing the changes to your live website. (This will ensure everything works how it should and nothing is broken). Also please note, I would not recommend you diving into the combining of JS and CSS files etc on a live site as you can often break things and it can be trial and error to get right depending on what plugins/features you are using (this is also a different issue than what you have, I only mentioned it to give you an heads up on the shear amount that your website loads on a per page basis whilst I was looking at your source).

Other than the above steps it really is hard to help out any more from this end without being able to check it out pal. Like shane said maybe you need to hire someone in to take a look at it all.

Here’s a partial buddypress template files to theme folder listing here

I don’t have activity streams activated so I can’t help you with your original problem, though I’m sure you’ve since figured it out.

Warning: I haven’t tested this or thought it through and I’m half asleep..

For starters, if you have ftp access rename the buddypress plugin folder to something else like ‘temp-buddypress’

Log into admin panel, switch themes to twentyfifteen.

Rename buddypress back to its original name.

Check your site and admin panel to see if buddypress is working with twentyfifteen.

Here’s some troubleshooting advice from wordpress..

WordPress Codex: Login Trouble

I don’t have an answer for you but is Guest Post a blank page, posted with default settings (viewable by all, etc.) In other words you created the page and all you entered was the title and clicked publish.

Also, is your index-register.php file in this folder..

/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/buddypress/members/index-register.php

Also, it’s permissions are 0644 or the same as your other files in the same (members) folder?

Also, make sure for testing purposes that index-register.php is the exact same as the template in bp-legacy, to rule out there being something broken with the code in your customized version.

How would I be able to change settings and the design…

You can customize the layout ( design ) by following these instructions:
setup template files so that you can customize them.
