BuddyPress.org

Very little information to go on, no bugs as far as I’m aware but then what version of anything are you running?

Standard response here is all that can be given at this stage. Please disable all third party plugins leaving BP only and revert to bp-default theme if using a custom theme, and then check if issue still appears.

@shawn38 @crystal-phoenix just to add that for very long blocks of code, use pastebin.com and paste generated URI here

I checked your with IE simulator 6 to 9 online at http://netrenderer.com/index.php and I don’t see the vertical navigation. Know that bp-default theme has a responsive layout wherein the main navigation does go vertical when viewed at smaller widths which should be taken into consideration.

If BuddyPress is activated and if you have BP-compatible theme, then default landing page when you click on member’s link is activity. You can add code so that default landing page for member’s link is something else. See how to. Btw, what do you mean by “dashboard”? wp-admin?

@videogamerznet don’t know if you’re using stable or beta. In any case, just so we’re on the same page and to move this discussion forward, open up your theme’s updated header.php, copy code, and paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated pastebin.com URI here. Do the same for your theme’s updated sidebar.php, footer.php, index.php and page.php

Has the issue been resolved? If not let me know what version of WP & BP your using along with any plugins! Also, are you using a child theme?

My BuddyPress, a bp-default child theme, has not been updated for version BP 1.5

Compare the header.php of the My BuddyPress” theme to that of bp-default theme’s header.php where the old links in My BuddyPress have not been updated, among other things.

WP/BP versions? I’ve seen this happen with an old custom theme which was not updated for latest WP/BP versions. Have you done basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

@videogamerznet no problem. Where did you download your Arras theme – site URL? There are different sites which do that and I want to know which version you have activated.

@ironjade Ok, I see what you were trying to get at. You need to fix alignment of the BP template pages in line with your theme’s HTML structure which you should go through after Appearance > BP Compatibility.

To proceed with getting the HTML structure in line, open up your Ithaca theme’s header.php, copy all code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated URL here. Do the same for ithaca theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

Yes, registration is “off” by default. You turn on registration only if you’re opening up your site for public participation. To enable registration for a single WP site, go to dashboard menu Settings > General – Membership and click on box to allow registration.

As to list bullet points and the BP elements extending past widths set, copy some or part of the style modifications for Twenty Ten child theme per link I gave at the end of the alignment instructions.

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
`

<div class="”>`

Then at the bottom, 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/denizen/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php are located.

Final note: You might want to check out the style modifications to contain some BP elements as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

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

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your evolution theme folder during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your denizen 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:
`<?php
$sidebar_layout=get_post_meta($post->ID,’kaya_pagesidebar’,true);
$img_width=kaya_image_width($post->ID);
//sidebar class
$aside_class=($sidebar_layout== “leftsidebar” ) ? ‘one_third’ : ‘one_third_last’;
?>

Take a look at “Member settings pages are blank” on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/developer-and-designer-information/

Only relevant if your theme was created before BuddyPress 1.5?

B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`

`

with the following for registration/register.php:
`

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 files.

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you revised up to your server wp-content/themes/clearphoto/

D. You might also want to check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

@allentan there’s something awry with your installation if you keep giving me the code for the Group Directory Index when I ask for your Clearphoto theme’s index.php file. Assuming you have the original zipped file of your Clearphoto theme, I suggest that you delete the clearphoto theme in your server via Appearance > Themes > Clearphoto – delete. Then reinstall Clearphoto for a clean slate.

Activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Again, for a clean setup.

Then download BP Template Pack folders in your theme’s folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration

Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Clearphoto theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`

@ironjade not quite clear on what you mean, could you be more specific as well as give ways for us to replicate the issue. Is this happening on bp-default theme or a custom theme?

@frostdawn suggestion is to upgrade your BP Corporate Theme.

If you feel like tackling the issue yourself, install two plugins: Log Deprecated Notices plugin and the Theme Check plugin. For the first plugin, you will see if there are deprecated template tags with the replacement template tags after a minute or so.

For Theme Check, take care of the results posted with “Warnings” and “Required” items if any. No need to worry about the “Recommended” or “info” issues. if any

What message? What theme are you using? Site URi? Testuser username and password?
