Thanks, that worked for me if I added !important, as in:

.rev_slider_wrapper {
min-height: 250px !important;
}

The wall works well, I only uploaded the files to the child theme folder. Thanks!

Another idea – it would be awesome if support for RTMedia would be more central to the user profile.

Since in many communities, uploading pics and sound will be quite important, it would be a shame to have that content hidden away in a tab. Ideally (I’m building a musicians network) I’d feature a song and/or pics immediately at the front of someone’s profile.

Also, if the upload functionality would receive your great custom skinning (with a big UPLOAD YOUR MEDIA button for example) that will certainly stimulate users to share their images and sounds.

Nice, I would use this! Is there any way to move these items into a dropdown with submenu? Each item on their own within my menu will make the menu very long (across two lines)

I’d like to minimize the user profile for any user who’s logged in.

Right now all the profile related functionality (including edit and reading messages) are only reached after scrolling, and since I allow users to add their entire bio on the profile, they have to scroll a lot! On a small computer, even when clicking to their messages inbox, all they see is their own profile first.

Would be great to be able to hide the profile and only make it available to the user when they actually click on a ‘Profile’ link to see their own profile.

OK I fixed it myself, using:

ul.inline-list > li > *, ul.link-list > li > * {
display: inline-block;
}

Oh never mind, I found that it’s default behaviour for the login/signup buttons, so I’ll use that!

Hi Tim, checked out your website, real nice implementation of this theme!
I was trying to see how you made the register form be invisible until one clicks the register button, and how you created that animated effect! Is that a lot of custom code?

One small issue with the articles shortcode:

the date/author/category/comments line, which in Blog has the icon nicely aligned next to its description, is misaligned here – the icon is one line above the text as in this example:

View post on imgur.com

What’s the CSS that should fix this?

[kswift]

That plugin works well! I just had to change their default class in the plugin code to ‘widgets-container sidebar_location’.

[kswift]

Thanks! Actually I’d like to put a widget-ready sidebar there. But that won’t be possible using shortcodes, right?

[kswift]

Thanks, I have tried all plugins and they were not the cause.

But I also installed a audio player called Wikplayer (http://www.wikplayer.com/)
which does a great job in playing shoutcast radio while you continue browsing the website.

It does so by creating a iframe into which the whole site is embedded. Disabling Wikplayer made this error go away. Still thinking on how to fix it.

[kswift]

By the way, is it easy to alter this code and pull in a sidebar next to the news on this homepage?

[kswift]

You’re officially the best!! Thanks! I’ll get tomorrow’s update too.

[kswift]

Ok will do! Perhaps it’s other javascript messing up.

[kswift]

Yes, ideally I’d like to add blog posts to the homepage, but reduce the amount of ‘promotion’ on the homepage (I know how to remove the shortcodes on the homepage, just not how to show posts there)

[kswift]

I also had a problem with new members getting a ‘enter a valid code’ type of error, even though after seeing that error they could just continue and use the site.

What fixed it for me is ‘BP autologin on activation’

OK, managed to fix it myself.

I still had the ‘legacy forum support’ option enabled in the Buddypress settings.
Therefor the group forums were not being dealt with properly by BBPress.

Once I disabled the legacy forum support in Buddypress, the group forums started showing up correctly and I could create new ones, too.

[kswift]

When I follow all these steps, I can set everything up but the slug for a group forum will not work.

When going into a group for which I created a forum, Buddypress gives me a link like this one:
http://mywebsite.com/groups/name-of-group/forum/

Whereas the usual slug convention is:
http://mywebsite.com/forums/forum/name-of-forum/

Any idea how I can fix the group slug?

[kswift]

Thanks, I figured it out finally. I had settings from a previous BBpress forum which might have caused confusion.

Still, I wasn’t sure what to make of this:

(Installed) Forums for Groups
Note: This component is retired and will not be receiving any updates in the future. Only use this component if your current site relies on it.

Does it mean that in future Buddypress, groups will NOT have any forums anymore? This was the only way I saw I could install so that each group may have a corresponding forum.
