BuddyPress.org

BP Codex is your friend. Disable the custom header functionality on the default BuddyPress theme … add the following to your wp-config.php file:
`define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );`

Your best bet is to modify the css for the theme. I use Fifefox with the plugin Firebug. This allows you to highlight different sections of the site and see its styling and modify till you get things right and then apply that to your actual code.

Your problem is not buddypress related and is better suited in a html/css forum.

The code for the BP login form can be found from line 40 to line 52 here. Adjust divs and format to taste.

Try switching to the BuddyPress Default theme for testing. Try sending some friend requests. If it works, then the theme is the problem, and you’ll have to get in touch with WPMUDev.

If it still doesn’t work, please provide some more info about your setup. Are you using any other plugins?

– change permalinks in settings to something other than default – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration
– then change theme to bp-default theme
– configure BP Components – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

@AnindyaRay I see that you’ve found a header parallax tutorial. The thing is, since you’re on localhost, it’s not as easy to ID the exact corrections which would give you a fix for what’s there in the image you uploaded. That being said, my stab in the dark is adding the following style to your child theme’s stylesheet
`body {
max-width: change to 960px;
}`
which will override the parent theme’s max-width of 1250px

If that doesn’t work, install the Firefox add http://getfirebug.com/ to find styling fix

@luvs123 Not sure where you are in getting Arras theme compatible with BuddyPress. But you might want to look at this Arras Child theme with BuddyPress templates installed and configured – http://durkkooistra.com/brownbuddy/
You might want to style the fonts smaller in the sidebar, but that’s not a deal-breaker
Good luck.

The javascript main file ‘global.js and also the ajax file are both included and enqueued from the main functions file in bp-default so I don’t really know why it isn’t working for you other than your child theme isn’t correctly referencing bp-default and that might be the fault of the custom theme?

you could try adding:
`
// 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’ ) );
`
to your functions file in child theme and copying over the two files into ‘_inc’ folder of child theme and see if that works.

Have you tried to install it? Are there specific issues that have arisen?

There is some issue at present with this plugin whereby the original author is, I think. in dispute with another that he claims has copied his code and released thus the download for the original hasn’t been available, so not sure what version you have or whether this issue has been resolved.

@pcwriter go for it, it’s there to be used if it suits the purpose. – API keys were always a pain

@leguis08 Glad it works.

@gunju2221 It is very possibly a custom theme issue, a custom theme will have to have ensured that the correct action hooks exist in pages as the main maps are fed through to the page via these, you could test with the widget instead which was provided really so that site admins could place the map in more refined custom widitised areas of the members profile pages if they existed.

When writing something like this you can only account for that which is known thus the included stylesheet is there simply to try and style the map if it’s dropped into bp-default, therefore those styles may not have relevance to a custom theme, especially where that theme may be heavily modified, however the basic styles are worked on elements and element id’s/classes that should exist in any theme.

The other aspect of course is that you must have created that extended profile field and named it ‘location’ and existing users will then need to actually edit their profile to add an address or partial address for the map to display, if a user hasn’t filled this item in then the map does not display at all.

Definitely try the basics of narrowing down the root of your problem. First, I’d probably download the maintenance mode plugin and let all your users know beforehand that you’ll be doing some testing in the wee hours of the late night. Then, deactivate all your plugins. Run the Default BP theme that shipping with your BP plugin, and update BP, too, if you’re not running the latest version. If everything works — registrations/postings/uploads/etc., you’ll know that it’s a plugin(s). To figure out which one(s) is the culprit, activate one by one and keep testing one by one — very labor/time intensive, but that’s usually how troubleshooting goes. Most likely, you’ll be able to figure out what’s wrong and contact the plugin developer for some pointers

@maui1

The adminbar is triggered by the call to wp_footer. So make sure that call is present in your theme.

Hi,

Thanks for the CSS solution to the admin menu migrating to the bottom in a stretched out hierarchy. While this polishes up my site, but I would really like the admin menu at the top the way it is supposed to be. I have the Executive theme and other than the admin menu I am having a good time working with it.

I tried the plugin, although it does not show up in the profile?

Must be because I am using custom theme

Sounds like you need to add the JS into the file in your theme.

@hnla

Goody! I’d like to incorporate this into my new theme framework (coming along nicely…). That is, if you don’t mind credit and some link love
I couldn’t figure out how to do it without the key but, now it looks doable. Thanks a bunch!
