Is there a reason for that approach? is not the aim to replicate the original themes layout for better or worse, not that what you have suggested doesn’t work but does leave a mix of markup layout between files?

Ok on second look it seems the sidebar on your theme is in a different placement inside #container. So another approach may be to move that code.

Can you provide a little more detail, like what theme? Is it a custom one?

Simple answer: you can wrap the sidebar call on pages in conditional queries that test to see what page is being displayed, check out the BP codex you’ll find a list of conditional tags you can use or even simpler answer remove the locate_template function in the file for the page you don’t want the sidebar appearing on.

@r-a-y Thanks for the input. I have solved the title page issue as per your link provided thanks!

Still battling with my main site being seen as a secondary site on the bp-default install (running on a sub-directory) I have only activated bp-default on the subdirectory as suggested. Both sites run well, but under the blogs tab in bp-default theme all my other sites are showing on the community site as well that shouldnt be there. Is this just a basic setting I am getting wrong here or am I trying to do something thats not possible!

Lets take a wild stab in the dark… actually lets not, instead why not try and provide some detailed info about your setup, versions, themes, plugins etc along with as much information as you think may be helpful to troubleshoot your issue – that sort of detail is basic and mandatory on any tech support/help forum.

First thing you could do before posting back is disable BP and any plugins and see if you can register users on the plain WP install – this will just establish it’s a BP issue or not, if a BP issue then enable BP but disable all plugins and see if that allows regitration, if so then enable plugins one by one checking each time until culprit is found.

I presume you have used the template pack to prepare BP pages under your chosen theme, Template pack will require that certain elements are added from the original theme markup to the new bp pages, looking at the layout shows that the original theme uses a nested element under #container called #left-div which is floated right and given a fixed width allowing room for the left sidebar. it looks as though this is missing from your bp pages and will need to be added in manually.

It may help you to open and reference one of the original theme files like ‘index’ , ‘page’, or ‘single’ and compare it’s main markup structure to the bp files and ensure that they match.

Make sure your style.css starts with…

and don’t forget the bold line!

Here’s the plugin link : http://mattkern.com/wpmu-manually-approve-new-members-on-local-install/

@auphoria – Review how to create a functions.php file in your theme’s folder:
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/functions-php/

Then add the code snippet in between the PHP tags.

@defunctlife OH snap! you’re right. I’ll update that, thanks!

@defunctlife I made a blog post about how i did it if you want to check it out.

Here is some real basic styling no colouring just indenting in the traditional style of comments not the activity stream version for now figure we may as well get traditional down first?

`ol.commentlist, ol.commentlist li {
list-style: none;
margin: 10px 0px;
}

ol.commentlist .children {
margin-left: 20px;
}
`

We could of course do borders around those but that will start with some simple indenting.

WP – 3.0.1
BuddyPress – 1.2.5.2
Buddypress theme with compatibility
Ok.. I want to make clear the problem I have been having with my Avatar Cropping process in my BuddyPress installations.
I can crop successfully on my dashboard, Using the “User-Avatar” plugin. But then I installed buddypress and when users attempt to build their own avatars inside the themed site, the only thing I get is a cropped preview of the top left corner of any picture I choose(both pictures display properly), but no ability to crop or even see the cropping elements.
I have read thru the solutions, and tried to implement them. First.. I use “qian-ava”s solution. I am using WP 3.0… so I need to find my Upload paths by going to..
SETTINGS -> MEDIA
When there I add to the Uploading Files fields by entering “wp-content/uploads” into the” Store uploads in this folder” area and my full path of http://www.ningbotoday.com/wp-content/uploads/ into the “Full URL path to files” area. Just note… I added all the double quotations.
After I do this I attempt to go into line 389 of my bp-core-avatars.php file and…
‘Replace:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
With:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
else $path = ABSPATH . $path;’
But… I do not have the “if” statement to replace! The closest thing I have is from 384 – 390…
‘if ( empty( $bp->avatar_admin->resized ) )
$bp->avatar_admin->image->dir = str_replace( BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH, ”, $bp->avatar_admin->original );
else {
$bp->avatar_admin->image->dir = str_replace( BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH, ”, $bp->avatar_admin->resized );
@unlink( $bp->avatar_admin->original );

}’
But I don’t see anything that I can replace. So either way.. I tried to test the script and just pop it in nearest to the line 389 to no avail. I ended up getting an error and my page does not load. Back to the drawing board. I reversed the process and started again.

I then took “Creay”s advise (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatar-upload-issues/?topic_page=7&num=15#post-70855), because his problem directly describes mine, and decided to look into the expression of Jcrop and its possibility of not firing off. He changed core-cssjs.php inside the pb-core folder inside the buddypress plugin. He added
‘<script src="/wp-includes/js/jcrop/jquery.Jcrop.js”>’
After the line ‘$aspect_ratio = (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) / (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ); ?>’

I have a area in my bo-core-cssjs.php file that reads between line 88-91
‘ // Calculate Aspect Ratio
if ( (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) && ( (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) != (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) ) )
$aspect_ratio = (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) / (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ );
?> “
So after the ?> I added the line. Nothing. Still not getting the crop to work properly. I encourage anyone to take a try and register on the site.. I would like to nail this problem down before I launch the site or even more to far forward. The site is http://www.ningbotoday.com
Thank you for all your help in advance.

ooh.. and to add… i used the plugin “user-avatar” and the crop from the dashboard profile works fine.. so i know it has something to do with my themes expression of the code…

Hey everyone. I am having the same problem. I have tried most everything… but i am sure it has something to do with the jcrop function being disabled by the theme i am working from. Can someone please HELP ME?!? it is driving me crazy. The site is http://www.ningbotoday.com&#8230; and so far i have enacted most of the solutions in this topic. For the most recent… my bp-core-cssjs.php file has the following line..
// Calculate Aspect Ratio
if ( (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) && ( (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) != (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) ) )
$aspect_ratio = (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) / (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ );
?>
So i add the line as you say, and i get nothing. I have also changed the upload directory to the specific directory, and no love there either. I want to get thru this so i can attend to the rest of the slew of projects i have lined up for this site. Can anyone help?
