BuddyPress.org

That’s not it. Search on codex.wordpress.org about widgets

You can’t use two themes for same site.

Not a BuddyPress issue. You add widget areas to a theme just like you would to a plain WordPress theme.

The activity/post issue is known and has been fixed for BuddyPress 1.5.1 (not out yet). In the meantime, either do this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5187/ or include the default theme’s javascript into your theme.

What did Brajesh say to fix the first problem?

For the 2nd, look at the two points under the Theme Information heading on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/

It’s really a case of doing a test site with your data and seeing if possible. In theory if your theme supports floats and so on it will fall ok. The issues usually are scaling down not up.

The ‘issues’ come with as you say embedding and images set to before be the full width of the content area. 100% can overcome this in some respects but you shouldn’t go ‘above’ what you have already for obvious reasons (a 700px wide image is it’s correct largest size).

If you are going for responsive then you should be going with max-width:100% on all images with or without floats. Video more or less will be a set size that’s just something without scripting you will have to live with or you can look at html5 video and scripting solutions / plugins. For smaller thumbnail images you can even do small fixed sizes or % again.

Some more general ones for responsive design:

The key though in moving into a ‘responsive’ or more fluid layout is thinking not in terms of pixel precision but a more flexible outlook to the theme.

Personally my approach to the older content would probably be get it looking acceptable but don’t worry about going up in width just worry about if goes lower maybe setting up some media queries to catch things.

$content_width is a standard WordPress theme variable and mainly controls the width of embeds and other media such as images. You’ll see it set something similar in any well-written WordPress theme.

What theme are you using? Are you using multisite? What’s the name of the subdir that you’ve installed WordPress into?

its working for me.

/*
Theme Name: BP Child
Tags: buddypress
Template: bp-default
*/

body {
font-size: 30pt;
}
That’s the content of wp-content/themes/style.css.

Read this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme

There are two ways to resize the width:

1) Set the “maximum embed size” in the WP Media Settings Subpanel

2) Set the $content_width variable in your theme’s functions.php

`if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) {
// Change 640 to whatever the width of your column is
$content_width = 640;
}`

@r-a-y, I followed the instructions in [https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme] and solved the problem. Tks.

The following are the procedures:

—
Member settings pages are blank

BuddyPress 1.5 comes with brand-new templates so you can style your member settings pages. However, if you’re using an older child theme, you will need to copy over these templates to your WP theme. To fix this problem, copy over the folder [/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/] directly to your WP theme’s folder.

@Flora1234 Couldn’t you re-install your wordpress through http://yousite.com/wp-admin/update-core.php ??
If that’s what you want then you can just click on the re-install link. Also you won’t loss your plugin, but i do suggest you backup your database just in case.

In BP 1.5, you need these pages.

However, you can easily exclude pages from the main nav with a plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/

To customize the BuddyBar, unfortunately you’ll need to get your hands dirty with code:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

The code for widgets can be found in:
/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php

You’ll need to extrapolate some of that code when building your custom entries in the BuddyBar.

Hope this is a good enough starting point!

Following up on @frenx4u, is your theme a child theme of bp-default, or did you adapt it for BP use with the BuddyPress Template Pack? If the latter, you will probably have to do what frenx4u suggests.
