Group Page Template Issue

[nicholaus1221]

Hi,

I’ve been trying to change the template of the groups page to “Full-width Page Template, No Sidebar”, but it still displays the default page template even when I change it. Can you help me with this?

Thanks,
Nicholaus

Hi, By default it takes the structure you choose for all buddypress pages from Sweetdate – Buddypress.
You change the template file though, located in sweetdate/groups/index.php to match the full width template locate in page-templates/full-width.php

Hi,

Thank you for the tip, I’m comparing the groups index file to the full width template file and am having some difficulty adding/or editing the right pieces of code. I’ve been comparing the groups index file to the members index file as they have similar setups and find the setup of the groups index file more confusing.

Can you help with what exactly to edit? I need the page to be full width so I can add some shortcode in for a plugin I have with a google map for the groups.

Thanks for you help,
I’m excited for the theme update today!

Hi,

It worked perfectly, is there a reason why the shortcode I added to the Group page in the wordpress backend doesn’t work? It’s for a Google Map that supposed to display just above the groups like what I have currently for the Members directory which works very well.

Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks,
Nicholaus

Hi, You need to add it to the template groups/index.php. It doesn’t take content added in admin page.

Perfect, should I just add the shortcode anywhere in the template of the groups/index.php or is there a specific location?

Thank you for your help and assistance,
Nicholaus.

Hi, You can add it before: <div id="group-dir-search" class="dir-search" role="search">
Add it like this:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[my_shortcode]');?>
