@goviral Closed your other thread with basically the same questions.

1. To remove commenting (and comment button) in activity stream,

Just add this to your theme’s functions.php file

`// Do not allow commenting in activity stream
add_filter(‘bp_activity_can_comment’,’__return_false’);`

2. is there any way I can change other buttons/icons through the child theme?

Simplest way is to use text-indent to the specific button and add the image background. For example, for the Activity Favorite button, you’d add something like this in your theme’s style.css file

`#activity-stream .activity-meta .fav {
background: #000 url(“images/myfavoriteimage.png”) 0 0 no-repeat;
text-indent: -9999px;
}`

then change background color or image when you hover over the favorite link. Use Firefox add-on Firebug or use Chrome developer to identify selectors to change styles/values for in your stylesheet.

Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is corrected.

default.css is comming with bp and overriden at each update. Don’t touch it !
As soon as it exist, style.css from within your child theme has priority.

So you can copy/paste the css parts you want to change to your child style.css and work on it. The only thing you must be carefull is to use the same ID and class names as from the original default when you work on existing styles.
Or add news at your convenience

have you tried creating custom.css and adding the changes to that in your child theme, im no bp pro but thats what I am currently doing.

Hi, you don’t need to copy default.css to your child theme. Use instead style.css in the child theme and add your changes to the specific part taken from default.

Example: let’s say you want to change the width of div#content .left-menu from 170 to 200px
in default.css you have

`div#content .left-menu {
float: left;
width: 170px;
}`

In your child theme, you write this in the style.css file

`div#content .left-menu {
width: 200px;
}`

hello,

put this into your child theme functions.php:

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'stripslashes_deep' );
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_latest_post_excerpt', 'stripslashes_deep' );

@karljung from your post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/compatability-with-enews-theme-from-elegant-themes/

I just checked out the BP pages in your site. Looks like you’ve already completed the major part of the compatibility process. The layout structure looks good and you only need to tweak the styles to correct some vertical spacing and removing the bullets from ordered lists, etc.

@karljung let’s bring it back to your original topic https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/begging-plz-help-buddypress-default-theme-clashes-issues-with-suffusion/

@aarc I didn’t notice that the code got messed up above before I left the forums, sorry about that.

Delete the current content of your sidebar-buddypress.php file. Replace it with the cleaned up code above and upload to server.

I’m not spending time building CSS/HTML for you, but the templates you need to edit are in the /achievements/templates/ plugin folder. Copy the directory inside the /achievements/templates/ folder into your theme, and edit those files.

The directory template is the ‘index.php’ file in the achievements subfolder above.

@mercime I follow your answers with great interest, I have the suffusion theme with the suffusion bp pack and then added BP, now my site looks great, however the BP specific pages such as activity etc, look totally different. see at http://www.godstruths.com Please help me I am exhausted tried so many things, have got no help yet from aquaoid of suffusionyet. It looks to me these pages pull the style from itself and not the main theme. How can I correct this? (I had not activated bp templates under advice from suffusion) Much appreciated. Karl

@evolvedesign, please start a new topic next time. There’s a plugin for those using the bp-default or child theme thereof https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

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

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and add the following at the TOP of the file, above other code:

``

At the very BOTTOM of the same file, below other code add this:

`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/quik-gallery/ 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.

** index.php code in pastebin.com is not your theme’s index.php file but that of BP Activity Stream’s index.php. I recommend that you re-upload your theme’s files again to server to make sure that all required theme files are online.

Moving on to the template compatibility process, you will be creating two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php per instructions below.

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your quik-gallery theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your quik-gallery theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:

`

I’m not sure what I’m looking for in those files. So it seems when replying and commenting in wordpress post seems fine, but when I try to add comments or reply in the activity stream of buddypress I get the 404 page.
