the theme file /groups/create.php contains the html code for selecting the group_status levels (but also note – this is used when editing the group settings too)
They said that everything is good on their end and to contact you guys. I didnt believe them at first until I installed some other plugins/themes and then installed buddypress to find everything stops working.
theme (or create a child theme) /forums/forums-loop.php – within the while bp_forums_topics() loop
Yep, there are a few threads about how to remove the view link altogether
No doubt 
Depending on how one has customised things though adding the markup your theme uses may trigger descendent selector rulesets.
Dimly recall chat about dumping the file altogether which sounds like best course of action.
Hi Roger (and everyone else!), i think i’m going somewhere now, but will need some extra input. hopefully the thread will be an additional useful example!
ok, this is where i am at: default theme with the ajax controllers at the top of the activity stream. in the activity folder of the child theme i have an index.php and activity-loop.php and and entry.php.
basically i’ve got a ‘private’ area with content accessible only to staff. for normal post/pages i have is an extra check based on a custom field for posts and the category for pages like the following and then based on the group membership i either show a message or the actual content:
http://pastebin.com/E4cnkwZS (top)
now, because the group is private, the BP stuff is not showing in the activity stream already, which is good, but the posts/pages bypass my checks and come up in the list of activities showing the actual content which should be private instead.
so, here is what i came up with so far. using the index.php i check the group membership and then load two different activity-loops:
http://pastebin.com/E4cnkwZS (bottom)
how would you exclude stuff? in the bp_has_activity function there is an ‘include’ option which allows to filter content, but not an ‘exclude’ one. it might be trivial to go around it, but not sure how. furthermore if you use the dropdown filter i have the impression that the arguments are passed dynamically resetting whatever is passed in the original query (like in your example and some i’ve tried using the same model).
i would very much appreciate any further suggestion! thanks
Broadly speaking? It’s an odd file that permalink.php one
You will probably need to compare it to the markup for a file such as members/index.php or some similar main template file for your theme. permalink.php has very little markup apart from calling the get_header() and get_footer() in between that you simply have a ul construct and activity/entry.php call so it’s never likely to work well in customised themes without some work.
the activity permalink for the member’s activity is a little different. a few topics have been mentioned on here about it but you can modify a child theme file for members/single/activity/permalink.php
I have done a complete reinstall and left out my child theme and plugins, but I still have the same problem. I have been searching for a few days but I have come up with nothing.
Wanted to say thank you and put in my endorsement for @Travel-Junkie ‘s great, simple privacy solution.
Re-posting that code below for simplicity’s sake, found at this comment link:

Running WP 3.0.1 single-site with BuddyPress 1.2.5.2.
Add to functions.php (may be titled Theme Functions in your Dashboard Theme Editor):
function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;
if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
First of all, create a child theme of bp-default theme.
To clean up header section, copy header.php from bp-default theme and paste into your bp child theme folder.
Open header.php and delete this “ from where it is in default. Move what you deleted to after the closing div#header or moving it just after `
` which is still in header.php file. Then add horizontal styling in style.css
hi all,
did anyone find a solution for this problem?. I have installed WP3.0 and BP1.2.5.2m, and have the same issue as commented by Darrin365 (bp_default works fine, but my child theme is not cropping the avatars properly).
thanks a lot in advanced.
Javier.

First, it’s better to create a child theme so that when you upgrade BuddyPress, your revisions won’t be erased
Add to the bottom of your child theme’s style.css
`div.activity-comments ul li > ul {
margin-left: 0px;
}`
@mgelblum Many things in your post are do-able with BuddyPress out-of-the-box and with additional customizations and plugins which are free and those which are paid for. And then it also depends on your server and your ability to go through with the project or might need to hire someone to do.
As for the Sansation theme, either add BuddyPress Template Pack or port Sansation design to your own BuddyPress Child Theme. Either way, you need to have HTML/CSS skills with knowledge of WP/BP template tags.
Odd, in my install (WP3.0.1/BP1.2.5.2/child-theme of bp-default), nested comments work just fine…

> @markhahnel it’s a matter of style’s specificity/using correct selector and precedence
Place this after the last style in your active theme’s style.css file
`/*** Highlight this page tab for a few weeks ***/
ul#nav li.page-item-582 { background-color: #FF0000 !important; }`
Then delete the block when you don’t need it anymore.
You should contact the developer of that custom theme. it’s a css issue.
`bp-default/members/index.php` has “ and so forth. this could be child via a child theme
Is it possible to remove the parenthesis around the counts and style just the counts differently? I’m new here and can’t find the location in the theme files to remove them and potentially add new tags for styling. thanks in advance.
sure but you will need to modify a few theme files and wrap the post forms with a check
theme files contain the “Post a New Topic:” forms
groups/single/forum.php
forums/index.php
then some check like so
`if ( !bp_is_group() || ( bp_is_group() && ( is_site_admin() || groups_is_user_admin( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() ) || groups_is_user_mod( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() ) ) ) )`
@nuprn1 if anyone had a right to
The theme query raised needs re-enforcing over and over, the trouble for any plugin author or for that matter theme writter as it works in reverse to is that the plugin author has to rely on the theme writer adding in the requisite hooks to the theme without which the plugin could fail but the plugin author can’t second guess what a theme may do incorrectly – likewise the theme writer is beset by the problem that a plugin author may hook into somewhere not expected (happened recently) and the theme struggles to cope.
With any potential issues the vital first step in debugging is to activate the bp-default theme to gauge whether the issue lies with a custom theme or not.
Sorry missed that slight difference
You just need to make sure the file_exists function line looks for the file in the same directory as the load file line.
@adelack –
If you agree to use the sub-blog for this purpose, you can use p2 theme on the sub-blog.
Actually, there is a plugin: oEmbed for BuddyPress. But on my last try did not work. Or I missed something.
@psycolor –
where to make changes, really depends on your theme setup.
If you want a theme similar to the default, but with your own enhancements (such as the ones in this thread), you are best to create a child theme, and make the changes in there. You’ll be editing the activity-loop.php and entry.php files in your child theme.
Have a look in the documentation for the article on creating child themes.
I don’t know whether there are many examples on line of alternative activity loops. I posted one example earlier today of some amends we’d done to entry.php to access and enhance the activity template tags: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/omit-time-stamps-from-activityfeed-so-only-date-stamps-show
And here’s an example of how we do a custom blog loop from a site I’m working on at the moment:
`
<?php $args = array (
‘action’ => ‘new_blog_post’,
‘max’ => 20); ?>
<?php $count=0;
while (bp_activities() && ($count < 
) : bp_the_activity(); ?>
<?php $blog_id = bp_get_activity_item_id();
if ((int)$blog_id == 1) continue; ?>
<li class="<?php if ($count “>
`
