Via CSS – add `body.groups #item-actions { display: none; }`
or
create bp-default child theme and copy over groups/single/group-header.php following folder structure and delete lines 3-21

He’s using the Ultimate Blogging Theme: http://www.ultimatebloggingtheme.com/

@cmubrad – I don’t know all of the details of that theme but the easiest is to install the site wide activity plugin and use a widget in the sidebar.

sorry if my reply is OOT, but I like your site theme, are you making by your own or buy from the designer, its eye cathcy

The easiest is to modify the php files in your theme as well as the css files.

In particular, I modified the /activity/index.php file by removing the sidebar code near the bottom of the file.

“

Blog posts are done by having a template file written without a sidebar also.

Finally, adjust the container and padder css to your liking.

It will fit most any theme with some modification to the HTML and possibly CSS. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

I have upgraded to BP 1.2.6. I’m getting the same error above. Any ideas?

Are you using a custom theme? It sounds like the theme wasn’t updated to account for the new BP_Button class.

Easiest way is to remove all the li links from the header.php file except the home link and wp_list_pages( ‘title_li=&depth=1&exclude=’ . bp_dtheme_page_on_front() ); and then add a sidebar menu widget for any links you need. Next version of BP will use WP menus for the top nav so you won’t need to customize the html.

remove everything from between ul id=”nav”

replace with

<ul id="nav">
                <li<?php if ( bp_is_front_page() ) : ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>
                    <a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
                </li>

                <?php wp_list_pages( 'title_li=&depth=1&exclude=' . bp_dtheme_page_on_front() ); ?>

                <?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>
</ul><!-- #nav -->


and so you now need to follow the instructions I outlined above.

But you haven’t created any rules for sidebar so it can only sit in the flow??!!

It looks as though #sidebar needs to be placed after your #sidebar-content element has closed as you have rules for a classic source order arrangement with #content-sidebar floated 100% width and it’s first child given a right margin to clear space for the sidebar with this arrangement #sidebar element must be flowed after the main sidebar-container closes. Then you need to actually describe sidebar ruleset that floats it left, set a width and an equal negative left margin to match the width.

the problem for us IS with the theme. we were using the simple wp communty theme which may mean its a compatabilty issue between buddypress and a wp theme. the odd thing is that it worked for the past two months. its not a plug in issue. we could reinstall buddypress and wordpress but we’re afraid we’ll lose all site content.

I just got the same job done on my child them (based on bp-default).
Of course, do it in Child theme, it’s safer and convinient.
I feel the easiest way is to remove the theme’s orginal nav lines, code my own nav and give it different id and class. This way can avoid inherit theme’s css
Adding bp links to admin bar should be another story, I haven’t arrive there yet

@csbarrett 1st, you should have mentioned that you were using the Citizen Kane bp-default child theme.
2nd, the only CSS it has directly imported from the bp-default theme is the adminbar.css therefore can’t fathom what you mean by “pulling both header images” and “overriding the bp-default header.css”.
3rd, perhaps @modemlooper, the theme author, can shed some light on your theme issues.

I did the upgrade to my theme…but still have the same problem. Ideas?

You need to revise HTML structure in BP templates transferred to your active theme in Step Three of the compatibility process. Plus copy some styling from bp-default’s style.css and adjust to taste.

– create a bp-default child theme,
– copy header.php from bp-default theme folder and add to child theme,
– open up header.php and delete lines 51- 77 and line 81, save
– upload child theme folder with the revised header.php and style.css to server
