Build Child theme of bp-default then copy header.php from bp-default theme into your child theme. Delete lines 51-55.

forums are just wrapped in groups – as bbPress is “dumbed” down a bit and only used for some basic functionality.

following theme files:
/forums/forums-loop.php
/forums/index.php
/groups/single/forum/edit.php
/groups/single/forum/topic.php

a safe bet is just to modify a child theme for /groups/groups-loop.php and change the line of code
`

` to
`

`

another idea is just to add a forum link within the group directory loop

@hitler, @rogercoathup, I think this is what we’re looking for. http://buddydev.com/buddypress/using-activity-as-wire-in-buddypress-1-2-themes/

Any more news on this new theme combining P2 and BP? Has an announcement been made?

@dubbelf – it’s no more technical than modifying your theme loops to exclude posts from various categories, and certainly less technical than restricting certain authors to specific categories.

At this stage the questions you are asking are not really BuddyPress support specific, more general WordPress considerations.

If you want someone to build / enhance your site for you, you can advertise on the Jobs Board: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/

If you are going to modify the site yourself, you will have to get technical (PHP, HTML and some base WordPress theming knowledge).

No one has told me if they are running additional plugins, or using a theme other than bp-default. We need to know if this occurs on a clean install and if it doesn’t, we can reactivate the plugins to find which one causes the warning so we can fix it.

Yeah, those functions can’t be simply overridden (like the functions in wp-includes/pluggable.php).

Your best bet is to do the following:
1) Copy the entire function you want to replace yo your functions.php, and change the function name (to something like custom_directory_members_search_form() )
2) Make sure that the template file that calls the template tag (I think it’s members-loop.php, though I’m not in front of my computer at the moment) exists in your child theme. Replace the reference to the original function in that template file to your newly created function name. Then you can customize to your heart’s content.

Nice work. I’ve used that theme in the past too because it’s simple, easy for users to move around, and customizable. It looks great. Keep up the good work.

Either you, or your web host, must have changed something; did you install a new theme, plugin, update to a newer version? etc

What is in your web server’s error log after you visit a group’s forum?

I am using Theme My Login plugin and gives a login page

That’s because it’s hardcoded in the bp-default theme (unfortunately).

You can remedy this by creating a child theme with bp-default as the template. Then, copy over bp-default’s header.php and remove the WordPress version meta tag.

search up on placing code snippets in the theme’s function.php or creating a bp-custom.php

the blog_id is not the name of the blog but rather the numerical value in the db for that blog.

@markhahnel

You can adapt the code snippet in here by changing the blog id: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/posts-of-the-main-blog-in-site-wide-activity/

If your theme follows the default structure, you’ll find your activity loop in my-theme/activity/activity-loop.php

Also have a look at the custom loop documentation (click documentation under support tab) on this site

@David Lewis, It’s a page template in your standard theme directory. You just need to select it in your page edit screen as template for the site where you want the calendar or event list to be displayed.
Look in your theme for a file: page-events-list.php
If you can’t see the template, check the page-events-list.php and add the missing Template name.
`
/*
Template Name: Events Calendar List
*/
`
@kunalb, first of all, thanks for the nice powerful plugin. Brilliant work!
I have a question. how can I display the event categories?
I like to display The event categories in the sidebar. But with the eventspress templates for the entry. Not as a normal entry.
I couldn’t find anything in your files. Will this function be developed soon? It’s an important part for me.

Have a look at a basic WordPress install with a theme like P2

@sidianmsjones

Another suggestion, if I may…
IMHO, your main nav would look better if all menu items were on the same line (rather than seeing “About MyMythos” bumped to a 2nd line).
In /themes/aperture-NEW/style.css, go to line 252 and edit the padding like so:

padding:0 8px;

@sidianmsjones

The problem is the nav ul which, regardless of what it looks like on screen, is actually sitting at the top of the header. The z-index is set to 9999 so it interferes with everything else.
In your /themes/aperture-NEW/style.css file, go to line 244 and set z-index of #nav to 0.
Your adminbar subnavs will display properly.

Is there any documentation for this plugin? I can’t get the listing page to work at all. How do you get a list of events? When I go to /events/ it always brings me to the detail page of the most recently added event. Getting very frustrated. I’m using the latest versions of WP, BP, EP and BP custom posts. No other plugins.

UPDATE
—
Nevermind. I deleted the database from my test install and started fresh. Works now with the BP default theme.

via ftp
i have the ONE THEME since 4 years and 5000 posts ;

want to change and make a community for my country, new caledonia

thanks for your help

@porscheheritage –

Yes, BuddyPress would definitely benefit from a serious UX review. Theming is much harder work than it should be. It’s far too tightly coupled to the core, with too much presentation code / decision making embedded and difficult to change. The permalink activity pages are definitely the worst presented and often most useless aspect of the default setup.

That said – the default setup can never be made to please every user. It’s perfectly reasonable / normal to have to create and modify your own bespoke template files to get the site you want. It’s the same for WordPress, Drupal, Expression Engine – any content management system you care to name.

Copying everyone under the sun on your post, is unlikely to win you many fans! However, there really should be somewhere more obvious and accessible to raise thoughts about the interface and BP experience.

My tuppence worth: make the API much finer grained (e.g. accessing the activity stream elements by part, rather than monolithic string), loosen the presentation coupling as much as possible, and put out a default theme that’s based on a finer grained access, and therefore much easier to understand how to re-work and restyle. This would encourage more theming, more unique uses of BuddyPress and push the boundaries.
