BuddyPress.org

@keats18 while I copied the code to pastebin.com, a fellow mod or admin also pasted it in pastebin.com above mine Please do not post large blocks of code here.

I also need the code from your theme’s content-page.php -> please post in pastebin.com

Apologies @mercime I have started a new topic using pastebin

@keats18 Each theme has a different solution depending on the HTML structure, so you need to start a new topic for your own theme ( as I see you have now https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/html-changes-for-akita-theme/ )

Please don’t post big blocks of code here but in pastebin.com, then post the generated URI in your post.

@bhappy yes you can go multisite after BP is installed. Before you go multisite
– backup database and server files, just in case something goes awry
– deactivate all plugins (including BuddyPress) and change to Twenty Eleven theme
– create a network (go multisite) and check that all is in working order
– activate BuddyPress et al

@ed161718 open up your theme’s header.php with a text editor, copy all code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your catchbox theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

== fter I reactivate my theme, I then have to go through an re-add all my widgets… this is very painful. Is there anything that might be causing this? ==

When you registere your widgets in your functions.php file, did you remember to add a unique ID for each widget? Otherwise, whenever you deactivate your child theme or even add a new widget in functions.php file, the widgets would disappear or would move to another widget area
ID e.g.
`register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar’,
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-1’,
etc.`

@chouf1
– I am using a child theme of bp-default theme, a port of apeatling’s design of BP 1.0 BuddyPress theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.0/bp-themes/bphome/screenshot.png
– Also that IS screenshot of the BuddyPress Group Forums new topic page. You can see the Group Name and Group Admins above the forum topic

But going back to the syntax highlighter, I do see the issue now if I post HTML/PHP code just like yours instead of CSS which I posted above and used lately. I was able to find a work-around by using `[ sourcecode lang=”title” ] the code [ /sourcecode ]` (just remove the spaces before ahd after the brackets) Result: https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp161-shevolved-php.png

@rbasmaji if I recall well from recent forum posts, Custom Community theme needs to be updated. Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is resolved.

@bifrost you need to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress by installing/activating the BP Template Pack plugin. Then go to Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

@mumbaipav you’re welcome. Sure you can use a different sidebar. For example you have a sidebar-mumbaipav.php, you copy that file and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php then add the codes I posted above at the very TOP and at the very BOTTOM of that new file and upload to server.

My apologies I’m terrible with my understanding of php etc.. but when I copied the code above for another Themeblvd theme (Akita) the resulting page comes up blank? Is their a solution for the Akita theme?
The themes page.php file is as follows:

[ Edit – removed code.
— Mercime ]

I ‘may’ not have the right end of the stick with what you are looking to do but this:

`wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), bp_get_version() );
`

You can hook into that ‘array’ if you want to.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

$deps
(array) (optional) Array of handles of any script that this script depends on (scripts that must be loaded before this script). false if there are no dependencies. This parameter is only required when WordPress does not already know about this script.
Default: array()

If the pic you found is correct you could try adding this to your child themes style.css:
#events-personal-li {
display: none;
}

I do agree that Rogers method is the proper way. This is just a shortcut if you can’t code and it won’t cause the white screen off death or errors if you mess it up.

@shemada – to do this properly, you need to use the bp_core_remove_nav_item() function.

Add a call to it in your theme’s functions.php file passing in the ID of the Events nav item.

If you Google on here for ‘remove_nav_item’ you should find plenty of previous threads / examples.

You could look at the source code using firebug or even chromes developers tools then in your child themes CSS put something like this:
.li events {
display: none;
}
Keep in mind the .li events is just an example because you will have to target the specific element.
The display: none; will make it disappear when you find that element.

If you are sure the option field in the db for your sidebars isn’t corrupted, then it may be a clash in the way you’ve named (id’d) them, or perhaps in where you have your hook to create them.
It’s impossible to say without more information, or someone taking time to walk through your site, examine your code, and test your db pre and post upgrade, etc

[Edit: I’m assuming you’ve also gone through an upgrade with all other plugins deactivated, and using the bp-default theme, to ascertain whether that preserves the widgets, before switching to your theme, and reactivating the other plugins]

Same thing happens to my site.

@modemlooper Your are a bp god! Thanks for the cool profile menu plugin. lt will actually work with other themes other than bp-default with a small modification!

@blg002 based on the link you gave, you should be looking at wp-plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/ for the forums with tables or in wp-plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/ with table-less forums for the single-topic template files

For further assistance, https://bbpress.org/forums/

== . I really don’t know if this is a BuddyPress issue or a Theme issue, but I sense the former. ==

@pescholar there’s a way to settle this. Change to bp-default theme and see if issue is resolved.

B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php file and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up the blank sidebar-buddypress.php file and at the very TOP of the file above other code, add this:
`

‘;

`

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/snapwire/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are

D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
