@macpresss Thanks for your detailed explanation. I tried to find the index.php file via wordpress admin>>plugins>>buddypress but I couldn’t find a file called bp-templates on the right hand side of that page.

Thanks

@mgrmn

Thanks for all your help. I have emailed you the functions.php zip file.
I can give you the wordpress admin panel if you think its the better option.

thank you so much for taking time to respond to my question,

i am using – buddy multi-purpose -theme from themeforest,(indeed wordpress with bp compatibility but they are not good at support though)

so i will wait for bp 1.8 if i understand you correctly,

big relief
tnx again

Hi Henry,

I’m using WordPress TwentyTwelve theme with the BuddyPress Template pack add on. Reason being that the design provided by our graphic designer was closer to Twenty Twelve than it was for BP default theme. I appreciate that your going to say should have gone with / switch to the BP default theme, but we are 90% through this project now with this one issue outstanding so that will not be possible.

Thanks for your help…

@modemlooper
Actually I didn’t get rejected. They are just swamped at the moment with plugin reviews. I am not rejecting your examples either to the contrary I am actually going to take your advice. My point is that there really needs to be documentation to reflect that there is higher expectations
in place now in the codex and here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/
because I have the requirements that it states. Please do no think I am being negative or unappreciative of you or the other volunteers on the review panel. I just think that everyone developing plugins need to be aware that the bar is being raised a bit so they can follow the advice as you have given before they submit the plugin for review. Thanks!

I found this video the best I’ve seen this far, because it keeps it very easy to understand.

It starts with a very basic understanding of what Actions and what Filters do because they maybe sound very overwhelming? when you bump onto them for the first time.
You don’t wanna know how many bbPress or BuddyPress projects I have deleted because I couldn’t understand what actions are, I knew they where spot that you can Hook into but making it happen and writing some code that finally gets Hooked into an action is a different story.

Actions DO stuff.
Filters CHANGE stuff.

I’ve tried to make my own custom add_action for the first time just to see if I was able to Hook into that ‘ bp_group_header_actions ‘ and it worked.
Something as simple as this added an empty span tag above the ‘ bp_group_header_actions ‘ code but the only question that still remains how to I get inside the HTML of this action.

add_action ( 'bp_group_header_actions', 'my_stuff', 1 );

function my_stuff() {
	echo '<span></span>';
}

This empty span tag has to go inside that div before the a href tag.

Thanks! And yes the Github is the latest version. It’ll be where all development takes place even when the plugin is on the WordPress repo
