WHY is the HTML code showing…and weird box around it!?

    Okay this is weird….

    Whenever I have the group cover and avatar showing in the groups, the code for displaying the group description shows. And also a box appears around it, followed by gradients and etc….it’s bizarre. I’ve tried other templates and the issue remains the same.

    When I switch to show ONLY the avatar, that issue goes away. The group description no longer has the paragraph value there. You know what I’m referring to — the < p > and < /p > — that’s what I’m talking about. Yes, I wrote the html weird like that on purpose so that would not screw up the formatting here, btw. 😀

    Thoughts?

    Oh, and also the weird box with gradients and etc. goes away with switching to “avatar only”…but it remains when I have “cover photo only” enabled. So it has something to do with the cover photo layout…

    Thanks, @shanebp — is this also tied to why I can’t change the cover photo and why I can’t change the avatar?

    oh that fixed it by the way, thanks for the link @shanebp

    now, the only weird thing i need to fix is the fact that the group title is not showing and instead says, ‘hidden group’

    why in the world this would be something to show in lieu of the group title is beyond me. the group title is nowhere to be shown on the page, at all….so if a user is part of multiple hidden groups it can get confusing very fast, if they can’t figure out which group they’re in without going through comments, etc…i’d rather not do that to users.

    i want the title of the group to show where it says, ‘hidden group’ rather than the message that it’s hidden.

    if for some reason that is ‘too complex a task’ for buddypress to handle or involves a lot of wacky workarounds, i’d rather change that message to something else that i can use as a default, and then just use the description to signify which group they’re in, and what the group was created for.
