hi, thanks a lot for your reply.
I can’t seem to get that to work. When you say to replace ‘reply_text’ with the id of the editor, is the ID just the name of this editor? Is there somewhere I can look to find out the specific ID because I am suspecting maybe the ID is something different then the name?
Is this method you told me above basically to tell the forums which editor to use, or the whole site?
Thanks!
Edit: Also, I save the topic.php in my child theme folder at “/themes/bp-child/groups/single/forum/topic.php” correct?
You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.
Thank you, @mercime so very much. Everything is working well, and I have learned something new!. Your kindness and generosity with your time and knowledge is gratefully appreciated.
Frisco Theme for BuddyPress – https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/frisco-for-buddypress
Or use any responsive WP theme and install+activate the BP Template Pack plugin, then go through BP compatibility process. There’s a list of “template-packed” WP themes https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes for reference on how to go about it.
Upload a BLANK file which should be named sidebar-buddypress.php to your active theme folder in the same level you’d find index.php, page.php, etc.That will effectively make all your BP template files full-width.
Just make a backup copy of your theme’s functions.php file. That way, if you added the code where you shouldn’t, you can always revert to the original code from your backup.
@aarc If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your musiclife theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your musiclife 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.
If its some fixes in the template files that could be possible… We have a very custom theme… Any idea which template files would be the best to start with?
Thanks
Add this to your theme’s functions.php file

If you’re using wordpress 3.3+, you can use the wp_editor function in your buddypress powered theme. For example, the is the textarea for posting reply for group forums in BuddyPress Default theme located in /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum :
`
`
Change it to
`
`
Where the first quote (‘Type here …’) is the initial content for the editor (You can just leave it as ” if you don’t want any initial content) and the second quote (‘reply_text’) is the id of the editor.
By default, wp_editor will use the default TinyMCE editor that comes with WordPress but you can change it via a plugin e.g. CKEditor For WordPress
@b1gft copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php into child theme folder/forums/forums-loop.php – then change value in line 61 for the poster avatar and line 68 for the groups avatar.
@ktown28 I would look at the comments.php file and customization of comment form in functions.php. You could also install the Theme Check plugin and the Log Deprecated Notices plugin to check if your theme is up to WordPress standards.
Thanks for the reply. I’m pretty sure it’s a theme issue, because when I switch back to the default theme it works fine. I’ve gone through and disable all plugins, and still to no avail. I’ve emailed the theme dev and no response so I’m at a stand still. Any other ideas?
@ktown28 change to bp-default theme and see if issue is corrected. If not, could be a plugin conflict.
hey johngraybeal did you ever figure out what the issue was? I’m having the same issue with my custom theme. Thanks
The second link above is what the default theme is giving me hence showing auto generated avatar..
Thanks for replying
1. here is a test user account. Username: user1 Password: user1
2. Not sure where the public message button went, although my thoughts are that its also overlapping with the others. In this theme they’re not buttons, but text links. so you can see a bunch of text on top of text. if that makes sense.
When you log into http://www.writerscubed.com the home page won’t have much on it. click on a user image to the right and you should see the jumbled text on the top right of the profile page.
Thanks for your help it’s much appreciated
hi @djpaul ,
separate ajax.php functions do not work as they should at the search page of “unified search” by Brajesh (without adding of this exit()
. In my case bp_dtheme_new_activity_comment() returns full search page (with css from bp-default) below replies if I try to comment on activity, exit(); fixes it.
We probably should make it possible to override it as easily as that.
Out of interest, why do you want to put an exit() in it?
if the only method is to replace full function using remove_action/add_action, no need to reply.
I’ve activated the default BP theme and have the same results.
Take a look at
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
Find your activity-loop.php, probably somewhere like:
/wp-content/themes/your-theme-child/activity/activity-loop.php
then try this:
