If you’re using child theme of bp-default theme https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/

Great modification of the frisco theme. I like it!!!!!!!

Change to bp-default theme. If BP is installed in main site and assuming you didn’t change the groups slug, go to http://yoursite.com/groups/ and you’ll get to the Groups Directory page. Beside the page title “Groups Directory”, you’ll find the “Create Group” Button. Edit – or just go to http://yoursite.com/groups/create/

Why is your banner in an h1 tag ?

`
function bp_head_action() {
remove_theme_support( ‘bp-default-responsive’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_head’, ‘bp_head_action’);
`
I haven’t tried it but it was suggested in: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/default-theme-menus-on-narrow-screens-or-old-laptops/#post-126618

its under the default buddypress theme, in the registration folder you will find the register.php
bp version 1.5.5

The profile labels and data are rendered in table rows. You could copy over the profile-loop.php file to your child theme folder /themes/childtheme/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php and change the table/rows/columns into divs/spans etc.

You will need to know CSS to make changes such a colors, and know how to target to specific area you want to change. I suggest using firefox and firebug. Below I have attempted to show you what you can change and can not change as far as starting a child theme style.css. This commented section has to be included in your child themes folders style.css and the folder with the style.css needs to be placed within wp-content/themes and you have to activate it. If its left blank it just inherits the bp-default style.css. If you correctly target what you want to change then this child themes style.css will over-ride the bp-default style.css. Whatever you target and decide you want to change needs to be placed after the closing comment ( */ ) of the the below code with proper CSS syntax. I hope this in some way explains it a little more clearly.

`/*
Theme Name: BuddyPress Dusk /*This can be changed*/

== now my notification in the wp admin bar are not working ==

How is it not working? WP/BP versions? Have you done basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and/or deactivating plugins except BuddyPress?

@bigjosh change to bp-default theme, then go to that group which was spelled incorrectly, and click Admin tab to edit name of group

? ‘left pane’; are you running a custom theme, if so it’s hard for us to help with third party theme on this support forum. You can generally add anything like though to themes in any number of ways; BP default theme has a sidebar thus, as one would expect, in the WP dashboard you can add a text widget to that sidebar column to render content.

Same issue here, it is pretty frustrating as i try to figure out the different options, but i don’t find a central place which explains it me properly (o.e. the Codex, where it should be IMHO).
I am happy to put everything together in english and german after we resolved the issue, but i don’t get it running properly (neither technically, nor in my mind).

I. Core Definition

---

If i understand it correctly, there are serveral approaches to run BuddyPress on
a) MultiSite (WP Network)
and
b) MultiNetwork (BuddyPress Network)

Correct?

II. Different MultiSite Options

---

1.) MultiSite + different Websites with different BuddyPress Networks
2.) MultiSite + different Website but sharing the same userbase

1.) is clear to me, but 2.) envolves already the following subquestion:
– Can we have a single userbase, but with dedicated design per blog/domain? Let’s say we have a dog and a cat community. I would like to have the user “Frank” only once in both systems, but when he changes his profile on the cat-website, can he do it there, or will it be within one central design/domain?

III. Issue No. 1

---

Let’s assume we are running the current stable version of WP 3.3 and let’s assume the WordPress network runs properly, here already my first question:
I do normaly use the “WordPress MU Domain Mapping”, after a few tests with “BP Multi Network plugin”, i assume i should not have it running, correct?

IV. Issue No. 2

---

So, now i am trying to established on a WP MultiSite installation different (independant) Buddy Networks. So BP Multi Network plugin is the way to go, right?
What i don’t get is
“4. Activate BuddyPress on your sub network.” from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/installation/
I can activate BuddyPress ONLY for the whole network, not for each single (configured) domain/blog. What am i missing?

IV. Issue No. 3

---

When i activated define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2); (or ID 3 in my case), the possibilty to enter “activity” was gone from all domains, i just don’t get it

i have configured this here:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘XYZ.XYZ.vom’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );

/* WP MU Plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/installation/ */
define( ‘SUNRISE’, ‘on’ );

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Using standard Buddypress Theme from Plugin 1.5.5

IV. Issue No. 4

About the theme.
Where should i activate the theme? Per Domain or just in a central community?

Sorry for mixing up things, but that all is very unclear to me. Any ideas?

@roguedjinni reminder on the final note to copy modifications in your stylesheet per my post above so layout will look better.

@roguedjinni Thank you. But I just checked out your site and we need to make adjustments by deleting `

` at the top of the sidebar-buddypress.php. Save files and re-upload to server. I’ve updated the codes above for the both deletions.

B. Create a BLANK sidebar-buddypress.php file

Open up the blank sidebar-buddypress.php and 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();
});
});

`

That messy text inside `

` is `& # 9 6 18 ;` – remove spaces between numbers and character

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/fullscreen/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php are in

Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements at 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.

As agreed to above, we will create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make your WP theme compatible with BP

IF you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your fullscreen theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your evolution 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 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:
`

B. Copy sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the top, above all code contained within, add this
[UPDATED]
`

`

Then at the bottom of sidebar-buddypress.php, below all 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/smileth/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php are in

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.

@roguedjinni Based on initial scan, you only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress,

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your smileth theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to yoursmileth 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 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: [UPDATED]
