Grant Swaim replied to the question Would like to tweak Registration Page in the forum BuddyBoss theme 10 years, 5 months ago

OK, Call off the dogs… It was a caching problem. I use Page.ly and they heavily cache a lot of things. I had made CSS changes in the past and they applied OK. But for some reason to get this change to woerk i had to purge the site cache.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick response. I made this change but it just doesn’t work. I can make the change in the Chrome Inspection tool and it works but when I add it to the custom.css file it doesn’t. I have made a few change to other elements by using the custom.css file and they worked.

I made this screenshot just in case it helps. Any other…[Read more]

That worked! Thanks. That makes the page look a lot cleaner. You might want to add that as an option to your BP Profile Search widget instructions.

Thanks Again.

Registration on my BuddyPress site is restricted to those that meet a few very specific conditions. While I state this at multiple places on the site, I still get a lot of registrations that I need to deny. Therefore. I would like to add this notice at the top of the Registration Page (see attached file) in hopes that it will cut down on some of…[Read more]

I am a couple of days from launch and am down to 3 tweaks. One is to make the Registration Page looks better.

There is too much spacing between the field’s visibility line and the description line (See “A” in the attached image) The way it is now it looks like the description line goes with the next field (the next one below). In my humble…[Read more]
Grant Swaim started the question Want to Hide Redundant Members Search Box in the forum BuddyBoss theme 10 years, 5 months ago

On the Members page I am using the BP Profile Search widget. This does a great job but I would like to remove the standard Member Search feature that is at the top right corner of the page. This is no longer needed and makes the page look cluttered. I have attached an image to illustrate the point.

I often use the Chrome Inspector tool and tweak…[Read more]

Michael,

After a fair amount of time and effort in exploring the BuddyPress platform, I decided to go back to a traditional WordPress install with a Genesis theme. I have built tons of sites on this combination and many things that are stupid easy with this setup are hard or almost impossible without being a code monkey on the BuddyPress…[Read more]

Never mind. I come up with a work around.
Grant Swaim started the question Question For BuddyBoss CSS Wranglers in the forum BuddyBoss 3.0 11 years, 6 months ago

Since BB doesn’t have a dedicated homepage (or I overlooked it) I am building one from a page. I used the “front-page template” but not sure what that does unless it then knows which page gets the homepage widget area.

I want to add a slider and one widget in the right sidebar. Even if I leave the page title blank, the slider sits way below the…[Read more]

Michael,

I’ll wait for the patch. I am glad you were able to recreate the problem and get a fix out quickly.
Grant Swaim replied to the question Activation / Initial Login Issue in the forum BuddyBoss 3.0 11 years, 6 months ago

Thanks Michael,

That seems like a good plan.

I have a fresh site running BuddyBoss 3 RC3. I am having a problem with new user account activation. It goes as follows:

User registers with the site
User receives email with validation link.
User clicks on the validation link and is taken to the BuddyPress site with the notice that the user’s account is validated.
If the user then logs into his…[Read more]

I was using RC2. When I upgraded to RC3 the child theme css issue was fixed. Thanks
Grant Swaim replied to the question Child Theme Question in the forum BuddyBoss 3.0 11 years, 6 months ago

That’s cool. I can appreciate the fact that a major version launch is a day away. I will wait and see if the final release fixes the problem.
Grant Swaim replied to the question Hide menu from logged out users in the forum BuddyBoss 2.0 11 years, 6 months ago

It works well. It is like “Widget Logic” for menu items. Each menu item now has a field for conditional tags. It work swell with WordPress conditional tags, but i haven’t tried it with any BuddyPress conditional tags.

I like to make a top level menu item for a place holder (make it with a link pointing to “#”) and call it something like “My…[Read more]

Is this the place a paid member gets support or is it somewhere else?
Grant Swaim replied to the question Child Theme Question in the forum BuddyBoss 3.0 11 years, 6 months ago

No. Would it help to have admin / FTP access?
Grant Swaim started the question Child Theme Question in the forum BuddyBoss 2.0 11 years, 6 months ago

I am testing BuddyBoss V3 for a new site I will launch soon. I just can’t set the child theme approach to work for me. I make the mod in the custom.css file in the child theme, but no luck.

I made s short screencast to show the way I am trying this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/dlp_video_free/buddyboss_child_theme.mp4

Thanks in advance for any…[Read more]

William,

I use the “Menu Item Visibility Control” plugin for this. It works pretty slick.

Good Luck,
