i see a “buddymatic” theme says it comes with 2 ready child themes……..or should i stick to suffusion?
Ah yes, child themes are one of the MOST important things to learn when it comes to BP.
Here’s a link to the codex tutorial:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Could you post a link to your site? I could register there and see if I can help out.
If i had any hair right now i swear id pull it all out…..can just delete everything and start from scratch? well everything but wordpress. my theme (suffusion) and all plugins? it says i need to create a child theme 1st….gotta figure out that 1 as well….im really sorry man. and you have been more then helpful. im just really new and just when i thought i knew something BANG!!! im smacked with the idiot feeling
@Tekuan_Coleman
Gotcha! Here’s how…
1- Enable “Hide Main Theme Nav”, “Add WordPress pages/menus”, “Add Buddypress components” and “Scroll with pages”.
2 – Go to “Sizes & Position” and adjust the “Overall navbar width” to the width of your template.
3 – Play around with “Vertical offset” and “Horizontal offset” until you get it positioned about where you want it.
4 – Save settings.
5 – Now go to “Appearance” > “Menus” and select the WP3 custom menu you want at “BP-WP-Navbar Menu 1”
6 – Click “Save” at “Theme locations” and “Save menu”
7 – Check your site and refresh a page.
8 – Repeat, lather & rinse until you get it “just right”.
9 – Have fun! 
FYI, I fixed mine by manually forcing “ into my theme files. Put it right above the actions.
I’d also like to point out, that I want to use the bar on the main blog, but not on any other pages.
That is to say, please don’t say put ‘define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );’ in your wp-config.php file and you’ll be fine.
Because I do want to use it, just not on every single page.
You’ll need to turn on registration in the admin panel and then the registration page will appear. Anything could be done to the profiles. It’s all about adjusting the theme to include the things you mention.
Yes – It is the Ultimate Blogging Theme. The site wide activity plugin does not have a good look on my theme. That’s why I want the stream under the home post.
Is there a function I could add in my home.php page or something?
Hi,
The private updates on group should not be visible to anyone other than the profile owner. It means something is wrong, you should check other plugins.
btw, yes, you can remove the activity section from profile. put the following code in your theme’s functions.php
`
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_nav_item($bp->activity->id);
`
But this will make the profile inaccessible, as activity is set as the default profile component. so you may want to put the following code in bp-custom.php
`
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “profile”);
`
hope that helps.
Thanks for the reply! I can run this by them (again) but while the theme authors are generally great on the forum issue they don’t seem to be all the open to suggestions.
Any chance that if I post the /groups/…./forum/ page here you might be able to help point me in the right direction?
It looks to be a theme issue, the /groups/…./forum/ page should have the class ‘zebra’ on the table element you will either need to add this class manually or contact the authors and ask them to update the theme or they may have done and you’re using an old version?
Custom permalink structure shouldn’t matter, but have you tried resaving the permalink settings?
Also try disabling any plugins that might interfere with this. Including redirect and caching plugins.
As a last resort, you can always create a page template copying exactly what is in /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php and setting that as the front page…
my BP version is 1.2.6. I’m also using a custom permalink structure…./%post_id%/%postname%/
Do you think the custom structure may be affecting it? Should I use one of the common settings instead?
Also I’m using a non BP theme that I’ve used the template pack for and converted css etc.
Thanks,
EOR
Make sure you have a /bp-themes/bp-default/ folder complete with stylesheet in your /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ folder.
If you don’t, manually reupload the BuddyPress plugin to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder:
Download
I can’t figure out how to unload wp_enqueue_script() files 
Has anyone done this before?
@imjscn If this is urgent I would recommended that you edit the default theme’s functions.php and delete the wp_enqueue_script() line. Remember this is only temporary and when you update BuddyPress in future, it will get added again.
@hcleary
Please try upgrading to the newest version of the theme, which you can download at buddyboss.com. If you have an old version (from a week or two ago) there was a bug with this exact issue.
Michel, this forum is quietest at weekends. Please allow a day or two before re-posting to a topic; if you haven’t had a response, then people probably don’t have an answer.
As you can tell from the trac ticket you found, when it was previously reported, no-one figured out exactly why this was happening, so we couldn’t fix it. Looking at a comment on the ticket now, someone seems to think that if you put the following line into your theme’s functions.php, it might resolve the issue:
remove_action( 'pre_user_login', 'bp_core_strip_username_spaces' );
If the ticket covers the same problem that you have, this might be a fix. You can tell by creating a new user account once you’ve put that into your functions.php. I cannot guarantee that this would not cause any other issues. Indeed, I can’t understand why BuddyPress does this anyway, without spending a couple of hours investigating.
The issue seems to be the presence of spaces in the username/log in name. If this does fix your issue, please would you give us a sample of username/log in name so I can investigate.
members/single/activity/permalink.php
This is something that was debated before. I think it should match rest of site. Originally this page didn’t even have a navigation!
Try activating Twenty Ten theme and see if the BuddyPress theme fixes itself.
the share button looks good on the activity page…works bad for me. can that be because i have another, seperate share button on my theme pages? it made it’s way to facebook but didnt show the post just a link and the link takes me back to that “white page of death” as ive heard it called….lol
@desha, You’re welcome. You add new style in active theme’s style.css file.
Perfect. Thank you. I believe that is in the theme.css file (or is there a better place to put in the css override?
Same thing happened to me a while ago. I think it had something to with changes to BP and my use of a nonupdated version of my theme.
