Buddypress navigation menu styling

  • @gnasralla

    Participant

    Hello,

    I am using Minamaze (Pro) as the theme to my website and the Bp default navigation menu shows as just links one beside the other. I would like to either tabulate the default navigation menu or add a background color and submenu options.

    Is that possible?

    Is there a way I can send you a print screen of the view?

    hi,

    use the img button, you can insert an url.

    Do you use the buddypress menu in wp’s menu manager ?

    It’s intended so by default.

    Try this from child-theme style.css
    #buddypress div#item-nav div#object-nav ul li{background-color: #ccc;}

    I am sorry but I am new at buddypress, would you please guide me where to get to where I should make the change? I guess I start with wp-content.php

    I’m sorry too, but i can’t learn you to use BuddyPress and WordPress. I can only guide you. It’s a volonteer based forum, and understand that i can’t offer you a lot of my time.

    You asked how to apply at least a background color to the buddy nav.

    The CSS code i indicated should go in a file called style.css
    This file exist in almost any theme. Open it and copy/paste the code, save and bam, you’re done.

    For more explanation about child theme or any other custom work, you have to read WP & BP‘s codex or find some tutorials on the net.

    Be also aware that you use a premium theme, which can be difficult for you to find assistance outside of the theme support.

    Thank you so much. The pieces of information you gave me are more than enough to get me going. I will keep you posted with the results.

    Hello, thank you very much. The menu bar has a grey background now and that is exactly what I want.

    I have another question. Please direct me if I need to post it somewhere else. I am using Bp Activity Plus plugin and the image and video links work fine, but the URL link is not working properly. I tried deactivating some plugins, and it looks like the Achievements plug has conflict elements… but now the link object works at times and it doesn’t work at other times…. I can’t find any logical explanation to that… is there a fix for that?

    Hi,

    before asking for a fix, there is a need to identify the problem. You’re using 2 third parties plugin which you think are creating issues… Maybe, maybe not.

    First of, give your site URL so other can try to help you eventually.
    Second, if you’re sure one, or both plugins are defect somehow, you can ask on thei r respective support.

    To be clear in regards of issues, ensure always that your base install is working correctly.
    Is WP ok ? yes/no
    Is BuddyPress ok ? yes/no
    Is your theme ok ? yes/no

    If 3 “yes”, each time you activate a plugin and something goes wrong, you’ll be sure it’s the plugin, and not your install. In 95% of cases, the culprit is the added extension.

    This is a debug logic you can follow to find or try to, for explanations. 😉
