BuddyPress.org

@Dudeski I think it’s a BP bug. I’ve seen other posts on here where people cannot edit themes via admin.

Did you create a child them for BuddyPress or is this just a WP theme? Need link.

I’m seeing twenty ten not the default theme. Also, I haven’t updated . They may be out of whack with recent version of BP and WP.

Hmm there are too many overflow:hiddens really, some are not required, such as on floated elements as floats create their own new stacking context and therefore have to contain floated children, and there is a mix of float:left and position:absolute on the same element in the centre column where both can never exist together pos:abs overules float, have you been making adjustments to the layout containers for this child theme? I would need to look closer to see where best to correct issues but a few overflows should probably be removed and replaced with a clearfix solution or simply removed.

Regards bumping threads: please wait a little bit longer than one hour, that is far too soon to be bumping threads for attention, generally rule of thumb on this and other forums is 24 hours.

Hi modemlooper, I tried what you said. Actually in my theme it was exactly like you stated. However, after editing in wordpress theme editor, nothing changes…. what can be the problem?

Here is the result.
In my case it was face stream the plugin causing the groups/forums problem.

I’ve re-installed and tested the following plugins/themes and everything works as it should. With the exception of FaceStream.

My advice is once you have the base installation up and running with the groups and forums. Go step by step activating one plugin at a time and testing the group/forum functionality.

Regards.

TwettStream – OK
FaceStream – Failed It corrupted the group functionality. (If you uninstall and delete the plugin
group and forums start to work normally)
BuddyPress Like – OK
oEmbed for BuddyPress – OK
BuddyPress Classifieds – OK
BuddyPress Rate Forum Posts – OK
BuddyPress Links – OK
BuddyPress Album+ – OK
BuddyPress Group Forum Extras – OK
BuddyPress Site Wide Activity Widget – OK
BuddyPress Community Stats 0.2.0 – OK

-Themes.
Installed Default Buddy Press theme – ok.
Installed Fishbook – ok

Okay. Issue resolved. This time I deleted everything and activated buddypress and selected the default theme. No additionals plugins at all. And it works okay. All the group/forums capabilities work as expected.
Now, I’m going to install one pluging at a time and re-check if functionality remains the same, till I find out which of the plugins is causing the malfunctioning.
I had installed several plugins including: tweetstream, facestream, SEO for buddypress, bp like, bp friends, etc, etc. One of those is crashing the group/forums feature in buddypress.

I’ll let you know which one is causing it after I finish testing.

Regards.

If you’re using a child theme of the BP default theme, you’ll have to alter the index.php and archive.php files in your template.

Thumbnails require a plugin or using WP’s post thumbnail feature:

The layout is more of a general issue. Look up grid based layouts on Google and fool around with floats in CSS to do what you want.

1) You can control what is displayed on your home page by manually modifying the home page template.

2) Not sure what you mean here.

3) The bp-default theme has been criticized for throwing all the features of BP at the user. Features can be disabled in the BP admin area, as well as through a custom theme. Test out BuddyPress on the test site – http://testbp.org – see if it fits your needs.

I mean changing the id or class in your html. Javascript attaches to these and if you change it it could break the ajax.

@djpaul: this problem arises regardless of whether i’m using a default theme or a modified theme with the buddypress template pack. is there a trick i could use to identify the source of the problem… perhaps a tool to troubleshoot javascript performance with buddypress activated?

I added these functions as described, but neither had any effect in my theme. Is there something else missing?

hi all , its possible disable the custom header and set only in the default.css without creating a functions.php or without creating a child theme? my reasson is simple with more files and more heavy files the website is more slow for lowers conections. Thanks

This is an old thread but I didn’t see the solution that worked for me so here goes:

Pretty simple really – when I upgraded BP I had the above issue where all BP pages (groups, activity) etc were redirecting to the homepage. I simply re-ran the BP theme compatibility plugin and now everything works peachy keen again.

Ok, here is a css solution.

#wp-admin-bar ul li#bp-adminbar-authors-menu{display:none;}

It will remove that for 100% sure if you put it at the bottom of the child theme css.

but I still believe that drop down has something to do with some other plugin, as your bp-core-adminbar.php says it as “Blog Author” while the list says “Shop Owners”

Check if your theme’s footer.php has the wp_footer() hook. If not add it to just before closing [/body]

Put this code in your bp-custom.php or child theme’s functions.php


add_action("init","bpdev_remove_author_link");
function bpdev_remove_author_link(){
global $current_blog;
if($current_blog->blog_id==12)
remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_authors_menu', 12 );
}

I hope that should do it.
You can change that 12 to any blog id in the line if($current_blog->blog_id==12)

I think what Ali means by “the member’s single profile” is simply the member’s own profile page. You can get there by clicking on their name in the Members Directory (/members/). But you should also be seeing an “Add Friend” button next to each name (except your own) in the Members Directory. Is that missing? In the default theme some of the greys are a bit pale so sometimes you might not notice a pale grey button over to the side, but it should be there.

I’d be glad to help. Send me your theme files at marian@heartwoodwebdesign.com and I’ll tweak them for you.

I don’t know of a good sitewide activity widget, but you can look at the code inside of buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php (the if ( bp_has_activities…. stuff). Using that as a basis, you can build your own sitewide activity display.
