BuddyPress.org

@raminjan install the Firebug add-on for Firefox, right-click on the element you want to change, then add the changes to your stylesheet.

The current styles for the updated message

div#message.updated {
clear: both;
}
div#message.updated p {
background-color: #8FF57A;
border-color: #80CF70;
color: #1A6A00;
}
div#message p {
background-color: #F4F4F4;
border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
color: #555555;
font-size: 14px;
margin: 20px;
}

So use same selectors and change the property/value as you want it acoordingly in your theme’s stylesheet.

== I am using the Eleven40 (Genesis) theme by Studiopress. ==

OK, Maybe the reason why group forums aren’t working for you is because Genesis has own premium BP compatibility plugin which you should use with Genesis themes and not BP Template Pack, if I recall well. Have you posted your group forum issues at StudyioPress forums?

== I am using my own custom theme, along with BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. ==

Deactivate BP Template Pack plugin and change to bp-default theme. Is issue resolved? What WP theme were you using?

@sp12 a plugin can be as simple as 3 lines of code which you can add in your theme’s functions.php file to one as sophisticated as the BuddyPress plugin.

For a multisite installation, it doesn’t make sense to just add it to your theme’s functions.php unless the main site and all user blogs are using the same theme/child themes.

In your case,
1. copy the code Otto posted at stackexchange
2. open a text editor
3. paste the code
4. save file as > alphabetsites.php
5. create a new folder via FTP/file manager/etc. named mu-plugins inside wp-content/ folder
6. upload alphabetsites.php tol mu-plugins folder

Doesn’t the Custom Community theme have full-width template?

If the theme has a function.php file you place code there

Have no idea how you set up your artisteer theme. Usually, navigation links are in header.php and sidebar.php files.

== I have made copies of your theme’s header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php and rename them to header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php, and footer-buddypress.php. ==

@nnyorker that was not exactly what was in the instructions. To get this going, open up your theme’s (not our theme) header.php and copy all code, then paste it in pastebin.com. Click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

@themoju, it seems you are using a custom theme there – is it a child of BuddyPress default or are you using the template pack? As a check if you can I’d suggest putting on the default theme for BuddyPress to check if uploads work – that way you can then know if it is your theme.

I haven’t tried it myself, but according to in file comments, you should be able to get autocomplete to use all members (rather than just friends), by defining the constant:

BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL

Have a look at the file ajax.php in the default theme

@meisterlumpi it has been resolved, so no need to open a new ticket.

Instead of messing with core file, you could just add the change in your theme’s stylesheet. Also, the the change should have been for body.wp-admin only, since removing it from body could make the adminbar overlap your content at top if your theme design is set flush to top of screen.

@johnyonutz

== By plugin remove you mean.. ==

You can just do this first -> a) just deactivate all plug-ins except BP
and change to bp-default theme

== Also: “bp-custom.php” file is located in … ? ==

You create the file bp-custom.php -> https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

Hey raminjan,
I don’t believe I’ve heard from you before, but I’ll try to help the best I can. Most of the CSS just places the boxes and such, all the actual styling beyond that comes from your theme. Can you tell me what you’re trying to get vs what its doing currently?

@bellacrazy74 change to bp-default theme and see if crop avatar works from there.

Add this to your theme’s stylesheet:

`div#wpadminbar { position: absolute !important; }`

@joemd did you move the /gallery/ folder from bp-gallery plugin folder into your active BP-compatible theme? Also @sbrajesh usually posts compatibility fixes or updates for BP Gallery at BuddyDev.com if needed.
