BuddyPress.org

@pinhit

yes… unless you have a good reason….

You deleted the group forums right? Install the sitewide forums and use the forum slug https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/2/#bp-sitewide-forums
Let me know how it works out.

The bp.css file from the BP Template Pack plugin is enabled in your site. Do not disable it, just override styles when you want to in your theme’s stylesheet. Use Firefox with add-on plugin “Firebug”, you can right-click the element (div, ul, etc.) and see what style you need to override in your Aristeer stylesheet .. in WP themes,you can change/add styles in the style.css file, I assume it is the same in Artisteer theme.

For example, if you want to make the background darker for the activity comments, you can add this at the bottom of your stylesheet:
`/* BuddyPress styles */
div.activity-comments > ul {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #CCCCCC !important;
}`
Notice the !important I added there (you might want to make it darker than #cccccc). You’d need to use that to override bp.css styles which are enqueued after your style.css

Please donate instead to the American Red Cross. Thank you. They have great volunteers there

@thogan You can use the Twenty Eleven theme with BuddyPress if you also install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin with your Twenty Eleven child theme. Here’s how – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/

Hi, if you wish to remove this – simply go to your child theme – look for the following folders

members/single/settings and find the file called general.php

inside of that file, scroll down until you see the input fields for the Account Email – and comment that out

So you created a network to go multisite. Where is BuddyPress installed, in main site?

Do you go to Settings > Permalinks and set permalink to other than default “ugly” permalink?

Change to bp-default theme, do you see your members, groups, etc. now?

Delete the header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php created before. Create new BLANK header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php and add content per info below
header-buddypress.php – http://pastebin.com/1Z7rgejT
sidebar-buddypress.php – http://pastebin.com/29rHqhip
footer-buddypress.php – http://pastebin.com/MCvy7kMU

As you’ll see, many items from your theme are hardcoded. This will hold you till you get someone to do the dynamic files with your Artisteer theme.

== if I try to Uninstall “Group Forums”…. they only appear to uninstall. ==
Remember to backup database first https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#uninstall-forums

As for your Artisteer theme. I will post another solution in a few minutes, but the navigation etc will be hardcoded.

Try deactivating the recently added or recently updated plugins…It may solve your problem…I had the same problem too…After deactivating a plugin named site creation wizard my site returned to normal state…
If the problem remains,tell me which theme you use and give me your site url…

Same problem.
WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5.1
reverted back to BP default theme
Deactivated all plugins
Created new groups
and still not able to add a forum topic

Any suggestions?

@djpaul thanks for the advice but it still didn’t change… tried searching in the database but still no result.. the main menu works fine it’s the submenu of the profile that’s not working.. please see the image.. http://www.entrepnegosyo.com/entrepnegosyo.gif

thanks for the time..

hi!
Install the last version of firefox, if buddypress work then it ok

else

1, which version of buddypress you used ?

2, if you use the default buddypress theme, check if javascript is enabled,
if you use anther theme, use the default theme , if work then the prolem is in the theme

3. try to clear the cache of your browser, and disable all plugins installed if exist

Hmm. If it’s not appearing, you’re telling me that your browser does have JavaScript enabled, but either isn’t loading the JavaScript from the Default theme, or that it’s causing an error.

What theme are you using? Can we get a link to your site?

I’ve just come across this about creating a functions.php for my child theme taken from here –> https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

” You must make sure you give your child theme functions a unique name, otherwise they will clash with the parent.”

Is this correct..?

I put the code in my Theme functions (functions.php)
should i put it in buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php or ?
I’m noob in codes & coding, but I really need this, so I hope someone will help me get it done

I’ve tried to put that line:

/* Disable default themes header stuff */
define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );

Right underneath the php tag, and it didn’t work, so I tried to add it into my code in the functions.php elsewhere, and it didn’t work again

BP 1.5 Doesn’t have a “custom header” option, and if you do “remove” it, it resets to default which is a terrible blue gradient image…

it also doesn’t allow for .png files, so you can’t add a clear image…help?

Disclaimer: Not quite sure if this will work out. The good thing is that if it doesn’t, you only have to delete the header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php that you created and revised from your Artisteer theme folder.

1. Open up your Artisteer theme’s header.php with text editor and Save As header-buddypress.php in your Artisteer theme folder.

2. Open up header-buddypress.php
2.a. Replace `<body >`
with “
2.b. and at the very end of the file (below other code) add this:
`

`

6. Save file.

7. Open up your theme’s style.css file and add the following to the very end of the file to center your background image:
`/* Body Background */
body { background: #000000 url(“images/page_t.jpg”) top center no-repeat; }’

Then add the style found at middle of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ below the Body Background style you placed above.

Adjust style to taste.

Re: sidebar.php source – that’s the bp-default theme sidebar.php . Are you sure this is your theme’s sidebar.php? Also, you don’t want any sidebar, right?

As for codes in page and index files: give no clue what HTML structure `art_post();` generated to make your header width go awry and render background color wrong, etc. Go to a regular page e.g. About in your site where the Artisteer theme is activated and go view source code. Copy source code and paste to pastebin.com and post generated URL here. You might want to replace references to your site name in source code before pasting to pastebin.com – up to you.

Artisteer – ouch! Tell me you don’t have a div id=”content” in your Artisteer and we could swing it by only adding two files to your Artisteer theme to make it compatible with BP. If not, we have to revise 16 files to make theme compatible with BP plus some styling tweaks and you’re done.

Go to pastebin.com
Open up your theme’s header.php, footer.php, index.php, page.php and sidebar.php
Copy source of header.php and paste it to pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URL here.
Same goes for the footer, index, page and sidebar

I understand you want to make all BuddyPress pages full-width. If it’s not-too-crazy do-able, I’ll post the how-to here. If not, I’ll let you know.

I encountered this weird behavior as well when I was doing some testing on a BP site.

A workaround is to open up /wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/registration/register.php.

Find this code snippet:
if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=1' ) ) :

And change it to:
if ( bp_has_profile( 'user_id=-1&profile_group_id=1' ) ) :

It’s hard to tell exactly what’s wrong based on your description. It could be theme-related or it could be code-related based on a previous code snippet you were using for BP 1.2.x.

I would recommend checking out the differences in your theme first:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&new=5224%40trunk%2Fbp-themes&old=4777%40trunk%2Fbp-themes

Are you using a custom theme?

By default, BuddyPress doesn’t record activity items when someone changes their avatar or when someone’s profile is updated.
