And I thought BP 1.3 just required 3.*

I have a test install of BP 1.3 running on WP 3.0.4 and another running 1.3 on WP 1.3 RC 2

@DJPaul will need to confirm that comment in the thread you link to.

As for release date, you should note the blog post by John James where he announced he was proceeding with some major refactoring of the core, the open tickets is not really indicative of the amount of work left to complete with this particular cycle, I doubt that 1.3 will be ready this side of Feb and ought to go to a RC stage for a little more rigorous testing for this particular release.

I would have thought regardless of release dates one can and should be starting to test ones themes / plugins under 1.3/3.1

I love the theme layout, but how do you add color to it?

Copied those pasted files over as we have irritatingly crossed to a second page.

The first files two lines are the important ones notice the difference?

In the BP file you need to replace:

`

`
In testing this rename your bp-file to something like index.php.bck and make a copy renamed to the valid file to work on this way it’s a simple reversion when it all goes wrong rename current file to index.php.borked and rename the .bck file back o index.php.

I’m afraid it’s likely not going to be as simple with all the pages as the theme you have chosen makes use of a framework (bad oh so bad yahoo!) style CSS which creates lots of non semantically named elements such as that span-16 and you may find a few of these on other pages however the main layout structure is governed by the #contentwrap and that will appear on all the theme pages so this change will need to be made in each BP file along with that span-16 element which I guess acts as a wrapper for the content to allow page content to come before sidebar content in which case they have chosen bad naming convensions

1-Page.php (child theme)

`

`

2- BP Activity/index.php

`

`

*bump*

Or could someone help me fixing my cropper, since it doesn’t work anymore, I do have a custom theme, but I just believe the javascript isn’t loaded.

Thanks,

You’re using an old theme that hasn’t been updated but you have updated BP?

Have to admit naming the folder /bp-theme(s) does tend to suggest that it would/should contain more than one

No it’s the wrong place to upload BP themes to

All themes live in /wp-content/themes only BP default lives inside the plugin directories

You should be looking for the BP files in your child theme directory, Step 1 should have copied over the necessary BP folders such as /activity along with amongst others index.php files if step one automated moving of these BP files didn’t work then step 2 would explain to move these files manually.

If those files are present then you need to open the main index file in the themes top level folder and also the index.php from the bp activity folder, comparing those you will see a difference in elements apparent and need to get the BP file to match the main themes index file and repeat for all other BP files as listed in the plugin guide page.

Not really sure that getting me to do this would be cost effective and end up costing rather a lot

If you postup the contents of those two files some kindly soul might do a quick reworking of the BP one to match the themes structure as an example for you to follow for the other files.

@bpUser

It’s a custom theme designed specifically for bp.org. You can find several good themes here: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/
Or Google ‘buddypress themes’ for more.

You might also like my BuddyLite theme. It comes with the following basic customization options:

Maximum & Minimum Theme Width
Header Height
Theme Background Color, Image, Image Repeat & Image Behavior
Show Home Page Title and Content
Community Dropdown Menu Label
Integrate BP-Adminbar with Main Menu
Select ‘Global Search’ or Standard Buddypress Search
Search Bar in Header or in Sidebar
Sidebar Left, Right or Left and Right
Main & Secondary Sidebar Width
Hide Sidebar Login Form
Custom CSS

There’s also a premium version – BuddyBuilder – that comes with a whole heck of a lot more options so you can actually design your own theme by simply clicking your mouse. See them both at http://BuddyLite.com

@luvs the only tweaks I made were to the set of icons used, this plugin should add the set to all text areas – it may be something to do with your theme, have you tested it out on a different theme?

One issue I have found with this is to do with the javascript it loads – this conflicts with image cropping on avatars. This is likely what is happening to your other plugin if it uses javascript

It’s in bp-default theme’s registration folder
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.7/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php

look in the sidebar.php code and see if there is placeholder=”” in the form

It might have got included in the custom theme. Usually this has username and password in those spots. Also if someone on a computer saves that to the browser you have to delete cookies and settings to remove it. How to depends on the browser.

1. It should work as the posts are WP functions

2. You would be adding the codes as seen here https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/content-and-excerpt-word-limit/installation/ into your active theme. Find instances of the_excerpt and the_content in your active theme’s files and replace that with code given above after you’ve activated the plugin.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

3. No, this would not work in BP activity wall.

Hmm, that’s strange. It’s working for me exactly as advertised.
What’s the history of your theme? Is it default, child, custom etc?

Maybe cookies…
In the Admin, set “let user decide” for some fields.
Log out.
Clear your cookies, make sure to delete all cookies from the domain, and from any test domains, and any local domains (eg. mamp wamp etc. if you’re using that) that you’re developing the site on.
Log in as a subscriber level user.
What result now?

— Please keep in mind I do NOT know the first thing about coding or php. —
If you know HTML/CSS, you can “fix” the layout. See walkthrough https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

WP/BP versions? Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, clear cache – if register/submit button is working then it could very well be your custom theme.

Are you using custom or default theme?

-If using custom, switch to the default and see if it fixes it
