@pgideonbolger — I ran into this as well. I was going around in circles trying to override the defaults selector by selector. To override the defaults en masse, you have to address the fact that BP 1.5 uses enqueue to load the styles. You’ll want to stop it from loading the default styles and instead copy/paste the styles you want to retain from default.css into your child theme’s styles.css.

FYI, I got this info from https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ – which is a helpful page – and am using it with success. But if you don’t want to search that page for the info, just grab the code below and add it to your child theme’s functions.php:
`
if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {

// You should bump this version when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20120625’;

// Register stylesheet of child-theme
wp_register_style( ‘child-theme’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );

// Enqueue stylesheet of child-theme
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-theme’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
endif;
`

Hey there,

mercime, thanks for your inputs, it helped me a lot, however i seem to have this styling problem anyways

Tried adding
`ul.item-list li,
ul.item-list.activity-list li {
list-style: none;
}` to my style.css, black.css, blue.css files , however it didng help

Would you please help me out a bit with this one?

I have installed Buddypress on a brand new site using the Default theme.
When a visitor creates an account on the site, they do not show up as members. When I go in through my dashboard, I find them listed as subscribers. How do I get Members on the site that can join Groups?

The only arguement on that function is length.

To remove quotes on activity that has not been posted you edit line 103 in global.js in the bp-default/_inc folder. Though you should never edit this file directly. Create a child theme and include _inc and global js file in your child theme folder.

`u = ‘"’ + l + ‘" ‘;`

The qoutes are saved along with the text in the post form box as a string

Looks good! Could you please tell me how to modify the twenty eleven theme for buddypress like you did?

Hi All,

I don’t think that this actually is a buddypress problem. I don’t use BP and on a site I am looking at for the owner the comments don’t work. I have deactivated all plug-ins and used the standard Twenty Ten theme but they do not want to open up (oh yes I have changed the setting to enable the comments to be active). I have a 3.3 site and there it works fine on this 3.4 site it don’t

So I rather think that this is a WP issue than a BP issue.
On the other hand with software you never know….

sorry i misunderstood, i’m not english, i thought banner == header…

This is an example for the activity/index.php template : the hook just under the activity page title is :
`bp_before_directory_activity_content`

so in the functions.php of your active theme, you can add something like this :

`add_action(‘bp_before_directory_activity_content’, ‘i_do_not_want_custom_header’);

function i_do_not_want_custom_header(){
?>

<?php
}`

I’m sure you’ll find the right hooks to add your ‘narrow photo’ in the other BuddyPress templates..

you’re welcome

Hello @tgoedde

If you’re using the theme BP Default, it’s quite easy actually. As this theme supports custom-header, you can simply edit the BuddyPress pages (Activity, register, groups, forum… and so on) in which you want to add a custom header.

I just tested this in my activity page.
1/ Edit the page in WordPress backend
2/ Use the media button to select your photo, it must have at least a width of 1250px (if under, the pic won’t show)
3/ Upload and choose not to insert but to use as featured image. Once done you can close the thick box window.
4/ you’ll see in the edit page / the featured image box at the bottom right with your uploaded image shrinked.
5/ Save the page. And you’re done

Repeat these steps for each BuddyPress template you want to add a custom header to.

I’ve marked the topic as resolved, and edited the topic name, to help people better find it if they search in future.

I’ve never tried domain mapping with BuddyPress. It may just not work currently. Does it make any difference if you switch back to the BP-Default theme to test?

What theme are you using? Does your theme have custom menu (Appearance > Menus)?

Did you install BP Template Pack plugin which is required to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress? Then did you go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process? In Step 3 of the process, that’s where you can change HTML structure of the BP template files transferred to your WP theme in server to be full width or any other layout configuration.

BuddyPress 1.5.6 ==> WP 3.4

== in default theme of buddypress is everything okay. ==
Therefore you should contact Suffusion theme author regarding this issue.

WordPress plugins which are supposed to be BuddyPress-ready are tagged “buddypress” by respective plugin developers – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/buddypress
Double-check if plugin’s been updated for latest versions of BP at least

To make your WP theme compatible with BP, you need to install BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP compatibility process then align HTML structure.

Yes, we are aware of the bug for the plugin’s pagination in this site.

You cannot change the pages associated with BuddyPress in Add New or Edit Post/Page panel – page template. You would have to change the HTML markup of the specific component’s template file. What theme are you using?

Could be a plugin conflict or theme issue.

WP/BP versions? Is this a new install or did you just upgrade to latest WP/BP? What theme are you using? What plugins do you have installed? Have you done any basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

For iOS avatar uploads, I sent them to a separate mobile screen on which I did this:
`

`
And ‘mobile-apple-avatar-process’ is a WP page that calls
`
locate_template( array( ‘photo-process/mobile-apple-avatar-process.php’ ), true );
`
And ‘photo-process’ is a dir in my mobile theme.
In ‘mobile-apple-avatar-process.php’ I use a non-WP approach to creating the full and thumb images because for images uploaded on iOS, you need to check orientation (rotation) via exif_read_data. And I did a crude ‘auto-crop’.

So the user should never see the ”mobile-apple-avatar-process’ page.
And they are then sent to the value of redirectUrl in the href above.
And that screen should show them any bp_core_add_message values you created in ‘mobile-apple-avatar-process.php’

It’s awkward, but it works.

From time to time, we hear reports of this. No-one has figured out if it’s a theme issue, or a plugin issue, or a BuddyPress issue, or some sort of WordPress config issue. I’ve never been able to recreate it, nor have the other core developers, which suggests it’s something outside of BuddyPress or the BP-Default theme.
