I actually just tried updating it again on another user site but different theme and I am receiving the same error message yet a little different this one said “Sorry, but you don’t have the administrative privileges needed to do this.”
Yes your right it’s running as a user site on a multisite @andrea_r th thanks @gunju2221 – Andrea any sugguestions or do you think I should contact the theme designer
Get Firebug to find it and linking to your site helps. CSS is in the theme’s style.css file.
What theme is it?
Usually it’s the theme code itself that needs to be fixed. Also, it’s not mu any more, it’s multisite if you have multiple blogs.
Under wordpress MU?
From my understanding your users shouldn’t need to go into the backend to set theme. They should have preset themes.
Forgive me for not understanding but which default settings and how can I fix. I would like the users to be able to set there themes from the theme options how they prefer.
so @pual Gibbs, i hav to create 1 function.php file under my theme folder and put the above code …in that code i have replace ‘/images/custom-log-logo.gif’ to my img scr. right.? or i hav to do some more modification
If your theme doesn’t have a functions.php file, just create one.
What versions of WordPress, BuddyPress are you using? What theme and plugins are you using?
@mercime
Thank you for the reply. I’m a little confused though.
I have found the file permalink.php – you say copy to your child theme – would that be /wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack and paste the file in there?
You mention I should past inside folders/single/activity following directory structure of bp default – I am at complete loss as what is intended here or what is meant – sorry 
I am trying to understand the file structures (honest) but it’s taking a while to “go in” my brain!
This is the template which handles the page. Copy over bp-default’s permalink.php to your child theme’s folder, and paste inside folders /members/single/activity/ following directory structure of bp-default
have you tried something like this?
function filtering_activity_default( $qs ) {
if ( empty( $qs ) && empty( $_POST ) ) {
$qs = ‘action=activity_update’;
}
return $qs;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘filtering_activity_default’, 999 );
in the functions.php of your theme… this filters everything and only outputs the activity updates
That’s not the issue he is having. It’s with the avatar and the textarea is colliding.
Find this line in your `wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack/style.css`
`div.ac-reply-avatar img {
border: 2px solid #FFFFFF !important;`
Add this to the bottom:
`width: 33px;
height: 33px;
}`
@Scotty501
The problem doesn’t look like it’s the image; rather, there doesn’t seem to be a large enough margin to the left of the comment div. Look for the following in your theme’s style.css file:
`div.activity-comments form div.ac-reply-content`
Add this and adjust to taste:
`margin-left:50px;`
Matt,
Yes and No. I have two sites using the Q&A plugin from WPMU Dev. This plugin works great except buddypress integration is not present. If I recall correctly, the dev wrote interest in adding integration (sorry, I cannot find that link). The plugin is quite good.
Another approach is to use a Q&A theme and the BP template pack. I did this prior to switching to the plugin. In this case the integration was fine because the WP posts went to the activity stream.
Hope this helps.
@Boone I am using the BP templates as installed in my theme by the new Template Pack. I haven’t amended them.
All I have done is
1. install BP,
2. install template pack,
3. run through BP compatability
4. Create a group
5. as another user, go to mydomain/groups
Where I would expect to see a link to ‘Join Group’ I get nothing.
This is a fresh install of WP 3.1.3 using twentyten with BP 1.2.8 and template Pack 1.1.1 as the only active plugins. Groups are enabled and the group is Public.
First of all, please keep the bp-default theme where you found it – in buddypress/bp-themes folder, delete the bp-default theme you uploaded to wp-content/themes folder. If you want to use the theme, you should create a child theme instead https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
== I could not update the categories in my own blog, nor access the posts through my dashboard ==
BuddyPress doesn’t cause this strange behavior, but other plugins could have done so. Deactivate all other plugins except BuddyPress
I am using a child theme – fishbook (which I have edited some parts – colours etc). http://www.ukushosting.com/testshop
Are you using child theme of bp-default or WP theme with BP Template Pack?
@psivait What @andrea_r is talking about robots.txt and rel=“nofollow” to noindex the link?
robots.txt
`User-agent: *
Disallow: /register/`
rel=“nofollow”
In your child theme: sidebar.php
`<?php printf( __( ' You can also create an account.’, ‘buddypress’ ), site_url( BP_REGISTER_SLUG . ‘/’ ) ) ?>`
The Template Pack does, essentially, three things:
1) Moves BP-specific templates into your child theme
2) Enqueues bp-default’s JS
3) Enqueues a stripped-down version of bp-default’s CSS, to handle structural stuff
As @r-a-y says, you probably don’t want to replace your customized templates. Instead, you’ll have to merge in any custom functionality that you think you’re missing from later versions of bp-default.
`Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /path/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activate.php:3) in /path/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 897`
As @r-a-y suggests, in my experience at least, that kind of error is almost always malformed PHP files — trailing spaces, unclosed brackets, stuff like that. If you’ve pasted functions into your functions.php or bp-custom.php, look there first, then any other template files you’ve edited.
The “create blog” text only shows up if you’ve enabled multisite. Which I’m not sure the book covers.
