BuddyPress.org

@shubham9,

check Activity auto-refresh in dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > settings tab.

If it is already done, activate Twenty Fifteen theme and see if the issue is still in.

buddypress.css contains all styles used by BP.

I also use a cache plugin that is not caching for logged in users.

If i understand this correctly, it means that if i visit your site without being logged in, i get a page from the cache, right ? This means logically that you have to be logged in while testing your change. And finally, it could be possible that non logged users see (it’s an example) a black title (cached) and logged-in user see a red title (the most recent, not cached, version of the new style applied to that page). Hum…

When you use a child-theme, and his mandatory style.css, the child has priority over the parent theme, and buddypress.css.

Child theme is the only safe strategy to get your customization without loosing your work at each update. You add to it only what you want to modify. Even if you need to change only 2 title styles.
In your case, you need only a style.css with a rule or two for your titles. You don’t have to add template files.

is it possible to find somewhere already created templates with different color profiles

A template is a structure of different HTML tags and some php code for dynamic content.
A theme is a design applied to this armature.
A content is what is showed inside the structure.
HTML is used to build the structure
CSS is used to build the layout/design
Content is text, images, videos, etc
PHP is a coding language to build dynamic pages between a database and a server.

BuddyPress template files are stored in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress

Unfortunatly for you, the theme is a premium one for which we can’t provide support, as we have no access to his code and can’t install it to test without using a licence.

See theme doc for information about child theming it and other advice for adding custom CSS.

Which theme do you use ? Seems you renamed yours to Test, and i was unable to find it somewhere.
Also, do you use a cache plugin ? If it’s the case, disable it or clear it while testing CSS.

I cannot put it in maintenance mode

This is not necessary if you had a local copy. I strongly recommend you do that if you want to manage correctly a high traffic site.

You can use a child-theme for your theme, not for BP which has no theme since 1.9. The one called bp-default is no more maintained and is only in for temporary backward compatibility for (very) old BP site.

BP use templates, which are stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/. Those templates are tailored to fit with almost any recent (and decently coded) themes.

Creating a child theme is explained on hundreds of sites and on WP’s codex. Additionnal infos for BP are given here.

Your theme might be Customizing BuddyPress Avatars?

@dayan89,

could it be that you created your Top menu, by adding a new menu without having two different menu location in your theme ? This can explain why you see always your item, what ever menu you choose. This happen because you try to assign 2 different menus to a same place.

Following snippets where successfully tested with Twenty Twelve.

This fires the profile link on the menu tab.

function profile_button_menu_item ( $items, $args ) {
   
// menu name. Primary is default main menu location in Twenty themes
    if ( $args->theme_location == 'primary') {
        $items .= '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain() . 'profile/public/">' . __('My Profile') . '</a></li>';
    }
    return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'profile_button_menu_item', 10, 2 );

The following explains how it works with 2012.

In 2012’s header.php, there is only one menu, located line 45
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) );?>

To use 2 menus, I added below that line another location
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'top', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) );?>

In child-theme’s functions.php, i added

function register_my_menu() {
  register_nav_menus(
    array(
      'top' => 'Top'   
    )
  );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' );

Under Menu Settings (wp-admin/nav-menus.php) i have now 2 theme locations.
Primary Menu and Top
Understand here that 2 locations are different of having only 2 menus. Location is a unique place for ONE menu.

Of course, I have 2 different menus. One is assigned to Primary Menu location, the other one to Top location.

And i can now move my profile item from one to other menu, by simply changing the location (primary ⇔ top) in profile_button_menu_item function.

Codex reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus

You want to remove navigation from all profile pages?
Create a template overload of this file:
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\home.php

And remove this div: <div id="item-nav">

h1.main-title, h1.page-title doesn’t exist. Why don’t you try the example at first ?

Also, don’t apply template models to BP pages. These are only placeholders used internally, not ordinary WP pages.

Follow some guidelines on Codex before getting in more trouble.

@xrossgg,

read some advice here.

@creationp,

once you have identified the correct element id or class, you add !important to the new rule you want for it.
In a child-theme style.css preferably, something like:

h1.entry-title {
 color: #DDD!important;
}

Note that this example will we applied to ALL page title.

@jasonqw1 – if you switch temporarily to the 2014 or 2015 theme and try it – does it work then?

a couple BP updates ago my older themes starting do all kinds of weird things with activity – double posting – stuff like that.

Here lately, even after switching to 2015 theme my users are still having trouble with photo uploads (And rtmedia) – so far I have found that at least one user’s chrome browser seems unsupported with this combo – no details if he/she is using latest version or anything yet – and have not heard back if they tried with stock android browser or tried mobile firefox / opera mini yet.

“I’m using 2014.” – I guess you also tried with other plugins disabled?

Did you customiaze your theme files, or add a bp-custom file, or mu-plugins folder or anything.. might be time for a backup of your files and reinstall of 2014 or something ?

I just switched my main site to 2015… wow, editing files for this thing is a nightmare.

Sorry, this theme is premium, we can’t help you with such, as we have no access to his code. You have to ask the theme support or read the appropriate doc (if exist).

Test admin bar (called Toolbar since WP 3.3) removal with one of Twenty’s theme.
It shows always on admin when logged-in, and depending the theme you use, on front-end.

WP reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/show_admin_bar

Which theme do you use ?

@fatihaslann

bp-custom.php
or child theme’s functions.php

1. Search Engine Visibility should stay unchecked. See your-site/wp-admin/options-reading.php
2. Allow people to post comments on new articles: should be checked
   (These settings may be overridden for individual articles.) -> could be set to of by default on some themes. Posts directory > Choose Post > Quick edit > Allow comments. See your-site/wp-admin/options-discussion.php
3. Site Tracking should be checked. BP Settings > components
4. Blog & Forum Comments should be checked. BP Settings > settings

If you’re testing a fresh BP install, add some content so you’ll see how it’s displayed. BP Default Data plugin is ideal for this.

Hi @muskokee,
BP nav menu code is in bp-core-template.php:3050 to EOF.

To change the position of an item on profiles page, use this from within bp-custom.php
Position is defined by the numeric value:

function bpfr_profile_menu_tab_pos(){
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav['forums']['position'] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav['profile']['position'] = 25;
$bp->bp_nav['messages']['position'] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav['notifications']['position'] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav['friends']['position'] = 20;
$bp->bp_nav['groups']['position'] = 60;
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_profile_menu_tab_pos', 100);

You can also add some condition on the template. Ie

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :
   your custom menu stuff
else
   something for non logged user
endif;

Other reference: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/members-navigation-menus/

Test this using 2014 theme? With other plugins disabled?
have you “enabled site tracking” in the buddypress settings?
( https://buddypress.org/support/topic/what-does-site-tracking-do/ )

I think I may have a similar issue, and I think there was a thread about this recently, like in the past 3 weeks or so.. I have not whittled it down to a bp-custom issue, or theme issue, or what yet myself – too busy trying to fix more important things at the moment..

interested if you find the issue / resolution – hope these tidbits help to find..
