BuddyPress.org

Are you using the default theme? And a link to the problem would be helpful!

Hmm, you could use bp-custom.php to add a global stylesheet that fixes the CSS issues.

@bplove @marcrem

You’ll need to build your own bespoke theme, with a custom activity loop that doesn’t filter ‘the scope’, but instead shows all activities.

Sounds confusing – unfortunately, it is a little.

The default BuddyPress theme uses a set of filters (put together by a javascript routine in _inc/ajax.php) to determine which entries to show when you visit someone’s activity.

You can read more about building your own theme, and on writing a custom activity loop in the docs section of this site.

I have spent a couple of days trying to find out how to do this on my child theme. Thanks a lot now nealry fixed except for some reason the styling on my side bar on the single activity page is all over the place compared to the sidebar on all my other pages. ?

Hmm not sure what the problem is then, you are using the default BP theme aren’t you

Not a similar issue, these sound like two separate issues.

Please do not post to a forum in this manner you must start your own thread and provide as much detail as possible if you want help.

@holgria Are you running a custom theme or BP-default? Without more detail than you have provided it won’t really be possible to help you.

@micb11 You should start your own thread on your issue, don’t assume it’s similar to someone else; there could be any number of reasons why you are having these issues, without some detail it’s impossible to help you -same question though custom theme or standard BP?

Hi @tubruk,

From what you typed, I can’t really confirm what it is you want to do.

Sounds more like a theme issue, you might want to check modemlooper’s BP Columns theme for hints on how to structure the page into 3 columns:
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns

I’m not sure why this still isn’t possible – in the default theme the image seems to be hard coded to read 150×150 but there is plenty of space all around it. It would be great if anyone could tell me where I could change the dimensions. Stretching the image through css would probably look bad.

Thanks

require( ‘./wp-load.php’ );
require( ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ );
require($_SERVER . “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php”);

These are the dependencies for the BP registration process. Once all 3 are loaded, the form will work.

I have a custom BP installation in which I bypass the main BP index.php file and use WPMU and BP functions as I need them.

To get the slugs to work, I change my .htaccess file as such:

RewriteRule . index.php?slug=1 [L,NC,QSA]

and then my index.php as such:

if (isset($_GET)) require( ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ );

In that way, the BP header is only loaded when a slug is used, and I can bypass it otherwise.

Not ideal but I guess as long as it works. Generally speaking it must be the responsibility of each theme writer to support their theme and to correct any issues that may arise through it, otherwise it would become an increased burden on the main support site.

what params can be passed to the members loop (edit a theme file or create a child theme for members/index)
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/

but a small bug, if no xprofile data then not all the members will be returned
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1670

Your first port of call should really have been the themes home having established it is a theme issue or so it would appear.

If you read through this page you arrive at:
http://freebpthemes.com/themes/buddymatic/?replytocom=409#respond

Which appears to be a similar or the same issue? and it might be worth adding to this comment stream? There is also a possible solution that might be tested.

Feature Request: So far plugin runs good on my site but I wold like a option to turn off the share button on my posts. I only want it for the buddypress side as I already have some form of sharing incorporated on my posts and this does not mesh well with my theme. Thanks

To confirm: you can use custom permalinks without problem in the default wp install.. Changing them as suggested to /%category%/%postname% ?

If that’s the case, try installing BuddyPress plugin again using the automatic install, switch to the bp-default theme, and let us know the outcome

@skolbloggense: BP-Slick uses the same BuddyPress translation strings so the theme should just work fine with your Translation. The only thing that is not yet translated is the menu navigation. But that can all be found in one file, which is organized and very easy to edit. I think it will take you about 10 mins to translate it!

I will add po/mo files to the theme pretty soon (to make upgrading easier, so you won’t lose changes) but right now it’s yet added The Theme is now for sale btw.. It can be purchased with 20% discount until the end of the week: http://bp-tricks.com/purchase-bp-slick/.

Here’s the sales page with it’s features: http://bp-tricks.com/pre-order-bp-slick/. And a short video on how to get it running: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMb7tXXV6Rw&feature=player_embedded

@Bowe: Does your theme has the possabillity for translation in a .po file? Its pretty important for me to have the site in Swedish….
