BP-Default is only distributed within the main BuddyPress plugin, which lives at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/. You will need BuddyPress for BP-Default to work.
Nevermind this was resolved by my theme developers!
I figured it out. It’s not quite as elegant as I was hoping, it works. I put the following code right after `
` in the member.php theme file.
`have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
`
The page ID needs to be the page id # for the page you’d like to use for the description. It has to be the number though, the function doesn’t work with anything but an integer. I found my page’s id by mousing over the page name on the Pages listing in WordPress; the number is in the link.
You can see the output at http://makemeanexpert.com/members.
Here’s something else I was trying to create. This would be great for theme devs. Basically wanted to merge the user nav and subnav together. This code works great but I’m not sure how to only show the subnav when on the parent user nav. This code just outputs everything. I got as far as showing only the first link by wrapping echo in an if statement because when you click a parent link you are in essence on the firs subnav.

I am using “Citizen Kane” I REALLY like the theme. Using it on http://www.xbox-arena.com, too.
Hi, thanks for the reply
No plug ins or themes have been installed and permalinks didn’t make any difference. The server company say they haven’t done anything (but they have lied to me before!), I have asked them to take a look as I can’t see any reason for the redirect.
@revolutionfrance Just wondering if this won’t work! Why don’t you just add the filter function directly into your theme file exactly where u want the filter to apply right before you call the
`<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' )) ) 
>`
I mean something like this:
`
<?php
function my_query_filter_new ( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=10’;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_query_filter_new’ );
if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ )) ) >
`
I haven’t tried this but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
I hope this helps.
Sounds like a class issue, been a while since I looked but look at the class of the sidebar in the default theme & use that in your custom theme.
Actually, I figured it out, I put the ajax.php in an _inc folder in my theme so it would work, and I got a fatal error: cannot re-declare, in the bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php
So that means I already have the ajax. Every ajax loader is working fine except the widgets.
@djpaul, thanks, but I tried putting
`// Load the AJAX functions for the theme
require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/_inc/ajax.php’ );
// Load the javascript for the theme
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) );`
But I got: `Fatal Error: required_once. No such file in directory`
And I did change the paths in the functions to match where they were and nothing changed.
You’ll need to include the /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php
Thanks so much for the response!!! Yes, it’s my custom theme, the default works fine. I am wondering if it’s the bp default theme’s functions.php?
Thanks again!
type quicker forget about spellinh or pugnination
@hnla – I took too long to answer, didn’t see you post 
Thanks mercime but I did say that 
You must either reference a parent theme using the template line at the top of the file or have a index.php in the theme folder- essentially there must be a index.php file referenced for the theme to not be broken
@jgagnon you should start a new thread instead of appending to an 8-month-old one
One thought is that you might have not uploaded the style.css file to the correct folder
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Theme_Stylesheet
Yes, please don’t pick up 8 month old threads please
Have you created all the necessary parts at the top of the file ? Are you referencing a parent theme correctly? Have you read through the page in the codex explaining how to create child themes
I’ve created a style.css file within a folder in the wp-content/themes directory, but when I try to active it on the dashboard under Appearance>Themes my theme folder is at the bottom and it says it’s broken, and the stylesheet is missing. any thoughts? thanks 
Have you tried a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache?
PS What theme are you using`?
Hello, I have just built my first Buddypress site, and its all going well so far. Based on the Fishbook theme – I have added a custom header image and thats basically it so far.
However, I was just editing the footer text to add my company name, and when I save, all the footer text had gone! I also noticed, and this may or may not be related, the little tabs at top left of screen for My account, sign up etc are missing.
Any ideas? What have I broken?
Thanks
I did some installs with a trial version of DreamHost and did not get the same issue until I activated the “Platform” theme. When I went back to the Default BP theme the issue went away. I have played around with this a bit and come to the following conclusions.
1. Yahoo hosting may not be the right choice for me (and BuddyPress) because it does not provide enough control over removing databases and other files that persist even after a reinstall.
2. The Platform theme may be for more experienced WordPress users.
Not sure if this information will help future users but feel free to reach out in this thread if you are having similar issues with Yahoo and/or the Platform theme.
Thank you for your help. I am good for now.
What does it say in the readme text, what does the authors homepage say? buddypress.org is a support forum for matters directly related to BP and it’s default theme and plugins that are specific to it.
Someone here may know of this plugin but in general you should ask these questions of the plugin author and/or study the installation guides.
First: DO NOT POST THE SAME QUESTION MORE THAN ONCE IN A FORUM. If it has been at least 24 hours since you posted the topic and no body answered then reply to the first post so your topic bounces to the top. This is basic forum etiquette.
**************************************************
If you want to use the admin upload for the header image then you will need to edit code in functions.php in the theme folder to specify a larger image and then change the CSS.
Find this: function bp_dtheme_add_custom_header_support()
And below you can see the heights. Make sure the HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT is 25px taller than the CSS height. This is to accommodate padding
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, 125 ); <—- this could be 325
height: 100px; <— and then you'd change this to 300px
OK, I get why you might want BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG now. My bad.
I just did a test on a local installation and registration on subsites seemed to work fine – no redirects. Maybe I’m missing something? Here’s what I did:
1) enabled BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG in wp-config.php
2) created a secondary blog and enabled bp-default on that blog
3) Visited the secondary blog as a non-logged-in user
4) Clicked on “create an account” just above the login box (example.com/subsite/register)
5) The registration page loaded correctly – no redirect to the main blog. I filled out the registration info and submitted
6) Got an activation email and successfully activated my account
Is it possible that this is a theme issue? Do the BP themes that you are using for the portals have the necessary registration templates? (registration/activate.php and registration/register.php)
Sounds like an issue with the custom theme, does this happen if you use the default BP theme?
