BuddyPress.org

Sadly, I’m not here with an answer, but another manifestation of this same problem.

Am running WordPress with bbpress and BuddyPress, Twentyfourteen theme, everything updated except I’ve not yet gone to BuddyPress 2.3.3.

My login is “Prof L”; so is my user name. To the best of my knowledge I’ve set “admin” nowhere in BuddyPress……but to private message me, “@admin” is required!

Update: OK, I see that in email settings, one of the options reads as follows:

A member mentions you in an update using “@admin”

So somehow that has been set to my “handle” (is that the right BP term?) But again, I never to my knowledge entered “admin”, nor does it display anywhere on the front end of the site.

I will try the plugin mentioned up thread, and report back–but wanted to testify that this problem is real and ongoing….

afaik, there is no option.
Try this in your theme/functions.php

function larnoult_remove_bbpress_notifications() {
    remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification', 10, 7 );
}
add_action( 'bbp_loaded', 'larnoult_remove_bbpress_notifications', 99  );

You may need to tweak the priority settings.

I added some comments asking the main group to seriously consider BP and other plugins when choosing next default theme

Nice one @djsteveb! I hope TwentySeventeen takes BuddyPress into consideration too.

To the best of my knowledge, you can’t have 2 themes activated at the same time. You should choose a WordPress theme and then make use of the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy to customise the BuddyPress portion of your website.

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.
