== After installed the Randy Candy Child Theme, the menu show each page 2 times and don’t show the footer widgets.==

Randy Candy Child Theme has not been updated for some time already. There are some changes which need to be done on the header.php and footer.php.

== BuddyPress Group Live Chat ==

As noted on plugin page in WordPress extend, that plugin has been tested on BP 1.2.8. It has not been updated for BP 1.5+

hello,

add this to your child theme’s functions.php
`// remove visit random menu on admin bar
remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_random_menu’, 100 );`

You can take a slightly simplier approach:

div#content {
remove the margin-left, float it right and set a width of say 80% *you may have to adjust this to fit
}

div#sidebar{
change to be a width % like 17% and float left, remove the margin left -100%
}

You will have to tweak this a little to work for yourself but this is a less restrictive approach and keeps some of the responsiveness of the default theme.

Try using wp_enqueue_script in your theme’s functions.php file. Put jQuery in as a dependency.

Addressing just the do_action part of your question.

add_action is used to call a particular function
do_action is used to provide a hook to and specify when/where that function is called

For example, in groups/single/activity.php, you should see this:
`

`

So, in your theme functions.php, you could do this
`
add_action( ‘bp_before_group_activity_content’, ‘my_function’);
function my_function() {
echo “

“;
}
`

You should see “my_function was called” after the form and before the activity listings on all group activity pages – because that is where the do_action is located.

You need to read up on do_action / add_action and apply_filters / add_filter.
These concepts are essential to creating any WP code

Hi,

No answer but a single question…
Did you assign a page for forum ? If yes, and because you installed bbPress as standalone forum, a forum page is not necessary.
A forum page is only needed when you install BP including forums for groups.

It seems that many people encouter such comment button problem since BP 1.5.6 update.
Perhaps try to change permalinks settings and test with BP Default…

@thadman as I mentioned above, the code works in Custom Community theme per my test.

Posted in pastebin.com => functions.php file of Custom Community with the dynamic profile link at the bottom of the file. http://pastebin.com/cagpd9Mc

http://www.puclpodcast.com/newfinal? Is a custom community theme and that function file does have a a call for wp_nav_menu.

Ok Thanks.
I am using Custom Community Version 1.8.9.1 though, I’m switching from iBlogPro because I wanted to start using buddypress. The site at the front is an iBlogPro Theme but that function file is from the custom community theme.

@thadman the code won’t work with your theme. You should contact theme developer (or use forums of iblogPro users) who has coded own custom menu and therefore is not using wp_nav_menu function directly to call the menu.

nickbaer, this topic is resolved for Pinhead149, original poster of the topic. You can continue here or start a new topic for your issue. What theme was activated in your installation when you activated BuddyPress? Where are you hosted? Linux or Windows hosting? Shared hosting plan?

== 9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? Suffusion with the Suffusion Buddypress pack ==

This is a Suffusion/BuddyPress pack plugin issue. Please bring this to the developer’s attention. However, BP 1.6 is not out yet so I’m not surprised Sayontan, the developer, hasn’t released any updates yet.

nickbaer – BP Columns is a child theme of bp-default theme which means you need to activate BuddyPress plugin first before you can use BP Columns.

Add the following to your theme’s stylesheet:

#wp-admin-bar {
left: auto !important;
max-width: 960px !important;
width: 960px !important;
}

If you know CSS, then you can use Chrome Developer or add Firebug to Firefox to identify which selector to style/restyle.

So, on the 3rd fresh install of WP – no BP yet,

Before trying BP, went to install BP Columns as the theme.

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description
BP Columns The parent theme is missing. Please install the “bp-default” parent theme.

How can I do these manual things, if everything is auto install?

You want to adjust the CSS here:

body#bp-default #wp-admin-bar .padder {
min-width: 960px;
max-width: 1250px;
}

You may also want to do:

#wp-admin-bar {
width: 100%;
}

Depending on your theme.

Try putting that in your child theme with the changes you want.

Me too.

I did a fresh install of WP thru my Host. Updated it to current. Updated the 2011 Theme.

Went to plugins page and picked and installed BP.

Got a couple of different fatal Error warnings about a exhausted memory in one or another .php page… then the same White page at /wp-admin.

Happened on 2 separate fresh installs.

Scared to try 3rd.

You’re welcome

== the defalt doesnt look so great for that. ==

The bp-default theme can be tweaked to look like a gaming theme if you know some CSS/HTML at the very least. Change background color to dark/black, add some silver/gold medals/otherstuff with some cool header font/s and you’re good to go.

Or, you could always download a regular WordPress theme with the look you want. Then you will only have to install/activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through the Appearance > BP Compatibility process. We have a list of template-packed WP theme to date https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

I just checked your site. There’s only one navigation menu in your installation, the main navigation under the site title. Aside from that, you’re using the Suffusion theme which is a theme framework supported readily by the theme author. I suggest that you post this question at the Suffusion theme forums or at https://wordpress.org/tags/suffusion

> If i change the permalink to other structure, my custom categories are redirects to error page.

You *need* non-default permalinks for BuddyPress. Deactivate BuddyPress, switch to the TwentyEleven theme, pick a permalink choice from the Settings > Permalinks page. Then, check that access posts and pages.
