actually, everything was fine while I’ve been testing WP 3.1.5 BP 1.2.8. (it means jquery 1.3.2 in code and 1.4.4 in WP), PROBABLY, issue is not in external/internal jquery, but in changes of later versions, 1.6.1 in our case (this is what I have found https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-have-comment-and-replies-collapse-and-expand/?topic_page=5&num=15#post-103151). And now older versions from our child themes (who uses external jquery) have conflict with internal 1.6.1.

The javascript files

@boonebgorges I have just tried everything out on the same install with ALL plugins still ACTIVE but this time using the default theme and everything is okay.

I take it that it is now something in my theme causing the issue.

Would I be right to assume with it working in BP Default that my plugins are all okay to keep using? It isn’t those causing the issue but my theme? I do have an accordion that uses JS I think. It works but maybe causing a conflict?

hi @rossagrant, just found why.

in my case it was tutorial re how to hide/reveal activity replies. (I did not use plugin, therefore, these are lines

`

`

in header of my child theme.

if you do not use this tutorial, or plugin from the same author, check all other plugins, which use jquery.

hi hnla, you were faster than me.
just checked all issues again and have to say sorry, all problems are from child theme (bp-default works just fine).
can not find changelog of 1.2.9, were there any important changes I should implement in child theme?

thanks.

I have tried it on my test site, updated tp WP 3.2. Diverted the theme back to the default, but do not see any notice or link to update to BP 1.2.9

Just found it. Its not listed on the updates tab, but when I went it to the list of my plugins, it said there that there was an update available.

I update to WordPress 3.2, but the update of buddypress is not available. I do a search from plugins and i updatee from popup.

ilokano, try to put the default theme of wordpress and try the wordpress admin, i have the same probleme when i use my theme.

The link 4ella gave for the front-end post form at BuddyDev is in a premium forum, you need to be a subscriber to the site to gain access. I am a member (so is 4ella) and can attest that the plugins, themes, code snippets and help that the site owner provides is nothing less than extraordinary. The front-end post form that he is working on should allow posting to the main blog, the user’s own blog(s), as well as groups the user is a member of. It should also support custom post types/taxonomies. A beta of the plugin should be released within the next few days.

You could also check out Quick Post Widget which supports custom taxonomies. The latest version is shortcode enabled so you can add the post form in any post/page.

Hang on. I think I led you a bit astray with Buddypress Links. It does what you want, yes, but it creates links to already existing web pages/sites/videos/images/etc. You are however limited to only one display image, but it fetches all available images automatically and gives you the choice of which to use as the avatar. You can see an example of it working here: http://buddylite.com/links/

Creating a custom post type would link back to the author’s BP profile, just like any blog post. Basic CSS rules could then be added to your theme’s style.css to display the entries in a directory-like fashion on an archive page.

Another solution altogether could be to simply add a front-end post form like Quick-Post-Widget that allows posting only to a category you create specifically for this purpose (Businesses). Then create a menu item linking to that category archive in WP custom menus. Your theme’s archive.php template can be customized to display posts in that category in any directory-like fashion you prefer (grid, list, etc.). Finally, a category-specific search plugin could be used in your theme allowing users to specify the “Businesses” category you created.

If you hold out a bit I’ll update theme when BP 1.3 gets released, that version has custom navs built in. 1.3 should be coming soon.

Add the following to your theme’s style.css (you’ll find the Repro theme designer was thoughtful enough to include a section for Buddypress at the bottom )

table.forum td img.avatar {display:none;}

No
Some theme stuff I want to blog about hasn’t been finished yet, I imagine that sort of thing is holding up.

Hi – I think this is the problem I am also having. there is no place for new members to register. I am using the BP default theme.. where should I go to allow registration please? thanks

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!!!

What’s not clear is what you have done so far and if you have indeed created a child theme of bp-default. Help us help you.

I assumed you wanted to use the bp-default theme. But it’s bad practice to make the changes there because those will be overwritten when you upgrade BP. So it’s prudent to create a child theme of bp-default theme – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

This is often a problem with the Javascript code (from the default theme) requiring a very specific div naming and layout structure. If you change (improve and simplify) the default themes’s html in your theme, then the Javascript for managing the ordering / sorting will no longer work correctly.

If you’ve created a child theme of bp-default, you could disable the custom header function by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php
`define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );`

From that point on, you could search for a plugin which does what you need
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-display-header/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-header-image-rotator/
or something like the above

Which tutorials have your read?

Using bp-default theme, if you allowed registration in your single WP or multisite, then the registration page will show up when visitors click on “Register” link.
