You need to change the_content() to the_excerpt() in your theme’s index.php:

@modemlooper Thanks for answering, the column height issue seems to happen on all modern browsers and OS. Don’t you have this problem ?

I use latest Firefox under Ubuntu and a friend tested on IE 7 and 8 under Windows XP.

Didn’t really mean you couldn’t ask but that certain issues might prove awkward to clear up or fall slightly outside the purvue.

Still the fact remains that we have little to work with here, that you say the BP adminbar works once you get the correct WP hook in place is good, however there is little that can be said for why the theme presents other problems with the footer.

There are countless number of badly written themes for WP some of these may work with BP some may not, not all themes, good or bad, will necessarily work with BP or at least will take some work to bring up to the level BP needs.

Rather than waste time trying it might be better to simply discard those that don’t work and only keep ones that do or at least have fewer issues.

You’re not really supplying any information of any detail, helping out with custom themes or WP themes is slightly outside this sites focus really and is very difficult regardless without good info.

I assume you meant to say you had ensured that wp footer hook was in each theme but why adding that should upset the themes original footer would be speculation other than to say that the theme sounds like it maybe breaks with WP conventions on template tags/hooks.

@GUAP: There is an update out for that theme or alternatively you can follow the theme changes from 1.2.5 > 1.2.6 in the codex on this site if you are no longer a member at BuddyDress so don’t get updates. If you are though updates are free to any member it’s up to you which route you go. I can’t though replicate any issues with a vanilla (nothing else) install and updated Daily theme so that could be the problem. Now, whether there is something going on with followers plugin or not.. that could only be seen once the theme is updated really to be fair to your installation.

i m using bp-columns 3 column themes, plz guide me sir, how can i show summery blog in my site.
thanks

while i post in blog the full text shows in my buddypress site. , I want to show only title and some text in front pages,

plz guide me, which code i amend to show blog post in summery in front page.

Thanks in advance

thinking about it it does need to be ‘!’ not otherwise the add_action will only run when that function returns true and we don’t want it running if true

! == ‘Not’

and isn’t really needed the function is either true or false 1 or 0 on it’s own it answers it’s own question – remove the ‘!’ and test again that it works as expected.

Cool well done had a feeling it was better to simply not run function if user logged in

@r-a-y, thanks for this as it works great! To @Robcwright and others interested, I know it’s an old thread but have found this change will make it only do this for public groups or groups where you are a member and private groups will no longer redirect but keep the default setup. I put both in bp-custom.php and that seems to work great with a variety of child themes. If you want any other modifications for other cases I haven’t tried, just mention me in the reply and I’ll take a look when I can.

`
function redirect_to_forum() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER );
$path = apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $path );
if ( bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav ) === false ) {
if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == ‘public’) {
bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav . ‘/’ );
}
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );

function my_bp_groups_forum_first_tab() {
global $bp;
if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == ‘public’) {
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’50’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ‘Activity’;
}
}
add_action(‘wp’, ‘my_bp_groups_forum_first_tab’);
`

You had it almost correct earlier a little more testing and playing around and you would have got there.

add back in the outer ‘if’ parent to check first whether the user is logged in so that is as I have shown before:
!is_user_logged_in()

Then follow with the other ‘if’ as done before but make sure you have the ‘==’

so the conditional query says if the user is not logged in then run second ‘if’ and check to see id the constant BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR has been set OR $bp->doing_admin_bar == false is set if either of these two conditions are met then run the following style tag

The !is_user_logged_in() should probably be run on the add_action rather than within the function to prevent a pointless function being parsed but that would need testing.

You shouldn’t need the

No you’re over complicating you don’t need to add whatever is already stated i.e padding-top: 25px just remove it if certain conditions are met.

As Roger pointed out the single ‘=’ needs to become the correct ‘is equal to’ operator ‘==’

Are you using a custom theme?

There you go that was my bad as I wrote that incorrectly in the original and then completely overlooked it when testing it earlier, time to give up this coding game!

Good spot Roger
