BuddyPress.org

If I recall, fishbook theme is a child theme of bp-default theme. So if there’s no header.php there, download a copy here https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php – download link at the bottom of the page. Delete lines 61-64, then upload to server wp-content/themes/fishbook folder

== Not quite, I removed the code from the config.php and the above from .htaccess ==

@harounkola so you changed it back to single WP install with BuddyPress. I still see the BP components – groups, members, etc.

Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress and change to default twentyten theme before creating a network. There are also other reasons why your pages go blank and/or you can’t access wp-admin. One of them is that you need to increase memory limit in your server. Example of where to change it in your php.ini file e.g. to 32MB first, and if that doesn’t work, increase to 64MBis here.

Open up header.php in your theme and remove it. It’s probably a li item. Just search for “Groups” in the file and you should be able to find it easily

== I think that mercime was just asking for a user and login plain text will do and a basic account not admin. ==

hnla is correct. You mentioned “I can allow any person assisting me have free access.” I assume you have a testuser or demouser account/s to view your site as a non-admin user. Or create one so we don’t have to go through the process of registering to help you out. After the issue is resolved, you can always delete that testuser account.

In addition, open up your theme’s page.php file, copy all content and paste it at http://pastebin.com/ and click on Submit button. The post the URL generated from that submission here.

hmm for many of us it’s the love of our life but also sadly how we have to struggle to earn a living

The manual steps you can approach again at any time essentially they are simply visually inspecting theme files and ensuring certain elements are replicated in both, obviously the markup structure from your main theme is the one that governs the layout and that BP files must copy and adhere to.

Either myself or mercime will have a look at the live site files when we have a moment and see if we can direct you to the elements that are missing or mismatched.

Apropos Your question to mercime, do you mean how to post a link here I think that mercime was just asking for a user and login plain text will do and a basic account not admin.

Making a theme compatible with BP isn’t I’m afraid a one click process and there are some manual steps that must be undertaken and that do require a little coding knowledge – although not much.

These two pages in the BP codex will help you, the second probably the best one to read through fisrt.

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

If you haven’t already performed the extra manual steps outlined in these pages you will need to have a go and if you get stuck post back with where you’ve got to and someone will help out.

Have you installed any Cache plugins? This can cause a blank page.. Can you reach the admin panel? Do you have any messages in your error log? Also you can try to revert back to the default theme by renaming the currently active theme folder through FTP.

This plugin will enable you to do that:

@tim , yes , if you don’t need to use original js/css, then, you don’t need to register them back
`function my_jscss_remover() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘the-handle-name’ );
//and others;
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_jscss_remover’ );`
You can find the “the-handle-name” in the plugin’s files at the line when it load the js/css, it normally use wp_enqueue_script , or wp_enqueue_styles, to load js/css. Sometimes they can also use reqire function, but as long as you find the specific file.js , that’s the line.

When you register your own js, the final parameter “true” means put it in footer. If your js require to run before the page finish loading, you don’t need this “true”.
You can also add like this: if bp_is_page(‘xyz’), then, the js will be loaded only on the page you need.
Please remember that, at this point, your js/css are not minified yet.

Wow Nice! It’s like I’m free to do all designing with ease. Thank you!

To see what can be done in an evening with BuddyBuilder check out my site which is still under construction.

I have to be honest, I’ve looked at all of the themes available for BuddyPress, and BuddyBuilder is IMO superior to all of them. The amount of creativity it allows you is staggering. It makes sense to call it a theme framework, because it is really something you can build upon without no coding knowledge whatsoever.

So you need to put in the JS into your multisite? You can get it from the Functions.php of the default theme.

Same with the CSS, but in default.css

@gregfielding , yes, it helps.
The parallel loading has to be done with cookie free domain– the http://domain.com should not install any dynamic stuff so that it won’t pass cookie to all subdomain. If wp installed on top level domain, the benefits of parallel loading get offset by checking cookie time.
@tim, combining js is risky, but combining css is easy–just copy them into your own style sheet. The deregister the original. Here’s an example of deregisting and registing:
`function my_jscss_register() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’ ); // deregister bp’s global. js
if( !is_admin()){
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ ); // deregister jquery
wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js’ );
// and other js you want to deregister/register
}
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, ‘http://static1.domain.com/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ),”,true );
wp_deregister_style(‘login-with-ajax’);
// and other css you like to deregister
wp_enqueue_style(‘my-default-style”,http://static2.domain.com/’);//the combined css
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_jscss_register’ );`

It says in instruction:
… open index.php in the buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members folder, locate this line (line 14) …

If you’re currently using bp-default theme, then you need to
– create a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– copy the index.php at buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/index.php
– paste that index.php into yourchildthemefolder/members/ folder
– open up the index.php in members folder and follow installation instructions https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-search/
– upload child theme folder to server and activate

I want to keep my site’s theme consistent. I’m making a site for a Star Wars: The Old Republic guild. I’ve got 156 avatars. Ideally, I’d like users to be able to choose from these avatars in addition to uploading one of their own. But let’s start with something even easier. If they don’t have a custom avatar, instead of default to Mystery Man, I’d like to default to one randomly chosen from the 156. Could I just do something like this:

`$tmp = glob(‘avatars/*.gif’);
if (is_array($tmp))
{
$flist = array_merge($flist,$tmp);
}
$default_avatar = $flist[array_rand($flist)];
add_filter( ‘bp_core_mysteryman_src’, $default_avatar );`

My fear in trying this out, is that every time it displayed any default avatar if would pick one at random. What I’d like is to do the randomization once in assigning an avatar to a user if they don’t have one.

You/re welcome.

– Create a child theme.

– Copy over the file index.php from activity folder of bp-default theme to childtheme/activity/index.php
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php#L10

– Add the slider to above or within the content div or wherever you want in that index.php file

Open your theme’s page.php, select all and copy.
Go to http://pastebin.com
You do not need to log in or sign up.
Paste the content of your theme’s page.php in pastebin text area
Click the “Submit” button below text area
Post the pastebin URL here
