using bp-custom.php causing conflicts

    I am using wordpress multisite 3.8.1 and buddypress 1.9. I am trying to customize my site, so I’ve created a bp-custom.php file. I’ve been reading the codex pages and I am now at an impasse.

    When I first implemented the bp-custom.php it caused severe conflicts with BotDetect CAPTCHA, so I removed that plugin. That allowed bp-custom to work properly, but is causing a conflict with users logging in or logging out. I tried remove AJAX login, but that did not help.

    Specifically, I get these two lines, the 2nd one with multiple occurrences:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /mysite/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:2) in /mysite/htdocs/GotBooks_WordPress/wp-login.php on line 415

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at mysite/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:2) in /mysite/htdocs/GotBooks_WordPress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 695

    My bp-custom file is located in the wordpress plugins folder. Here is my code in bp-custom:

    <?php

    // making my own functions to customize buddypress
    // by Jerry

    function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
    global $bp;

    $bp->bp_nav[‘profile’][‘position’] = 10;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘activity’][‘position’] = 20;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘blogs’][‘position’] = 30;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘position’] = 40;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘position’] = 50;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘groups’][‘position’] = 80;
    $bp->bp_nav[‘settings’][‘position’] = 60;
    }
    add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );
    ?>

    I am on shared hosting with 1and1.com – don’t know if that makes a difference. I’ve been searching threads but can’t find a similar issue. Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks,

    It’s not clear from your code as you don’t use the code tag….

    The error messages suggest that the problem is on line two of your bp-custom.php file.

    Is that all that’s in your file and if so, then is <?php the first thing in the file? There should not be any other characters, blank spaces or lines before it. Similarly there should be nothing after the final ?>.

    Also make sure that your 'single quote marks' aren’t turned in to smart quotes when you copy and paste ( this can also happen with double quotes – " " turning to “ ” ). Also this needs to be done using a text/code editor such as Notepad++ not a wordprocessor such as MS Word.

    Have you tried the recent variation of the above mentioned by buddypress lead developer jjj in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/profile-sorry/#post-178320

    Thanks!!!!

    It was my inexperience in php coding (a huge understatement). The problem was spaces before the <?php line, and spaces after the final ?>.

    Next time I will use the code tag – still new to this.

    Thanks again – very much appreciated. I suppose we can close this as solved. I would do that but do not know how, or if I am even able to.
