BuddyPress.org

Thanks Chris for testing and finding the problem.

Your fix has been added to the theme compatibility page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme

If you encounter any other bugs since upgrading to BP 1.5, please post about them! Thanks!

@MrHatchet
– What WordPress theme are you attempting to integrate with BuddyPress? Did you check out https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ ?
– Did you install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through the Compatibility Process? Strange, the plugin does not mess around with header width.

Themes always go in WordPress’ /wp-content/themes/ folder.

I was using a custom theme as well and had to change one line in my wp-content/themes/themefolder/groups/create.php file

I had this:
“

Needed to change to this based on the bp-default theme:
“

After that, the avatar upload form appears at step 3 of the group creation process. HTH someone.

@nahummadrid I wrote a way to highlight activity stream. I’m using the global unified search from @sbrajesh Also I am using wp 3.2.1 and bp 1.2.9. I went back to an older version because I needed the global search to work. The next thing I’m trying to do is see if the global search for the comments to updates as well, then highlight those results. Here is my test site here.

http://chr313.powweb.com/1.2.9/

In your functions file add these:

function highlight($needle, $haystack){
$ind = stripos($haystack, $needle);
$len = strlen($needle);
if($ind !== false){
return substr($haystack, 0, $ind) . '' . substr($haystack, $ind, $len) . '' .
highlight($needle, substr($haystack, $ind + $len));
} else return $haystack;
}

function bp_activity_content_body_return($activity_body) {
$activity_body = highlight($activity_body, bp_get_activity_content_body());
echo $activity_body;
}

In your theme file under
/themes/bp-addata/activity/entry.php replace the exising contents of div activity inner with this

if (isset($_POST)){
bp_activity_content_body_return($_REQUEST)
}else{
bp_activity_content_body()
}

In your css file add
#highlighter {
background-color: #FFEE5A;
}

Hope that works for you,

Read the error message:

There is early output (headers) started at /hermes/bosweb26d/b1249/ipg.krugersightingscom/wp-content/themes/custom-community/_inc/ajax.php.
And then the “zingiri-forum” plugin tries to send some page headers at /hermes/bosweb26d/b1249/ipg.krugersightingscom/wp-content/plugins/zingiri-forum/forum.php on line 849, but it can’t, because BP-Default’s javascript already has.

One of these things is happening in the wrong order, or in the wrong place.

== I can’t disable the forum because i might loose everything. ==
Change to bp-default theme and see if issue is corrected.

@prasanth-p do clarify if you made a WP theme or a bp-default child theme. Solution would be different depending on scenario.

@JackVD do be more specific. BP/WP versions? Using bp-default child theme or a WP theme with BP template pack plugin? New install? Check out System and Server Requirements as well as WordPress configuration https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

You’re welcome.

Which version of IE are you using? The bbPress (Forums), Members, and Groups Pages are full width and aligned in IE 8/9. You just might want to remove the negative left and right margins for div#item-list-tabs, div#subnav, and div.pagination as well as add top and bottom paddings to #forums tr. Check out modifications made in this tutorial for some more styling tips/corrections.

It’s your site’s Activity Pages that are not rendering properly. I suggest you open up activity/index.php and change
`

The only bundled theme that comes with BuddyPress is the bp-default theme.

To activate a theme, go to Appearance > Themes > choose Canvas – and activate. For more information about your theme, please contact theme author/s.

If your child theme hasn’t got a functions.php file then create your own in a simple text editor such as notepad++.

The first line should be just “ with nothing after it. ( The same php tags as the bp-custom.php file )

Then place something like the above nav menu function and action in between the tags….

For more info check the codex link above or http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/06/01/goodbye-headaches-hello-menus

oh right so this is the way to add my own secondary menu !! great

sorry to be a pain aces, is there any particular place to nest this..? or am I deleting / replacing existing code..?

I haven’t copied a functions.php file to my child theme yet..I guess I should do this first and make the edits in there right !

bp-custom.php goes into the plugins folder immediately under /wp-content/plugins/ not in a theme folder/directory….

( https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus )

In your child theme’s functions.php file:
`function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus( array(
‘primary’ => __( ‘Header Navigation’ ),
‘secondary-menu’ => __( ‘Alternative Menu’ ),
‘another-menu’ => __( ‘Another Menu’ )
) );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_menus’ );
`

Thanks for that!

I just deleted the bp-mobile plugin due to technical problems and I’m back with just a single menu now..? (primary) seems like bp-mobile creates a secondary theme location. I guess I could just use the plugin to create the secondary location / menu and choose my custom logged-out menu from the drop down right?

`<?php

remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_thisblog_menu’, 6 );

?>`

didn’t work for me for some reason..? I thought it might be clashing with the dashboard commander plugin so tried de-activating that plugin to no avail

tried as suggested in a bp-custom.php in my bp-default child theme

I deleted buddypress all togehter and reinstalled with the standard theme and receive the same message.

I believe the best way is to not update BPDefault in 1.7, keep it bundled with core (for now), and ship an all-new theme. BPDefault is pretty old now.

If your theme does not have a custom css area, you’ll need to edit your theme’s style.css file. Add the following to that file and adjust the color to suit:

`div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a, div.item-list-tabs ul li.current a {
color:#212121;
}`
