FYI – Would be nice to add this capability. Most of my other top themes allow every page to have an option of boxed or full width.

Maybe boxed home page and others not. Or all others boxed layout but the member profile to be wide and full width would be best.

Thanks

Hi Andrei,

Of course this is the right fix!

You want your profile page to be set to whatever default you have set whether you set your layout to Wide or Boxed.

You aren’t going to get a full width profile header edge to edge when choosing a boxed layout. So you want the profile page template to be set to the default so it makes sure it goes to the wide or boxed setting anyone sets it to. But you could get a boxed header with a full width template if you choose that, but not the other way around.

I don’t know of any other way this is suppose to work. It has to be this way. Every other time I have set this up to test it to re-enact my current site, the setting is set to default “automatically” in the system and the site works perfectly. So the system is setting this up correctly from the beginning with it always being set to default from the start. If that’s still wrong, even though it happens with every new test install and the problem never occurs, I don’t see how this isn’t the fix. I have no idea how the problem occurred so as to what caused the issue and how to have it never happen again, perhaps there could be a fix for that but this sure is a solution if it does ever happen again. Since I have set it to default, I have changed the settings from wide to boxed, and enabling and disabling the full width profile header and it does exactly what it should every time. So everything is working well with no worries if a change in profile template or header width is needed.

Thanks

FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY!

I FOUND THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT!!!

I started over with an additional “fresh” install of my site to rebuild it – most I was able to simply copy over from my other install since the plugins, kleo settings, and CSS had nothing to do with the issue. I played around with the database as I felt there was something in the database causing this since deleting all CSS and all plugins had no effect on this issue.

The problem was in the wp_postmeta table. I noticed that in the “fresh” install of this theme I had no issues. The 4 times the metakey “_wp_page_template” was listed the meta value was set to “default”.

On the original install where the full width profile header would completely disappear when the articles tab for social articles was clicked, the meta value was listed twice as “default” but two other times it was set to “page-templates/full-width.php”. When I changed these both back to “default” through phpmyadmin, it worked perfectly as it should. I uploaded an image so if anyone else runs into this issue for whatever reason, they know how to fix this. It is easiest to simply use the “filter rows” option to search for these rows and type in _wp_page_template and they will simply appear without having to scroll through many many pages in this db table.

Then they all should be set to “default”. So that’s it – It was that simple. I have no idea how or when this occurred. It was very early or perhaps even upon the first install. But this is the fix and I am so happy it’s finally resolved. I sure learned a lot trying to figure this out so in the end, it was a blessing with how much I learned.

Thanks

FYI – I STILL have this problem on my website and nobody can figure it out. It’s so serious I will pay you guys to fix this thing. See attached Image. The top color is from the menu header. But the full width profile header is gone whenever the social articles icon is clicked, It still calls the wrong sections that I outlined in my message from March 10th. You can still see the images of the CSS and html etc in that message.

I have tried everything and was hoping a 3rd party developer could write some code to “force” the full width profile header when the social articles icon is clicked. But they weren’t able to do this apparently and it’s making my site look poor. If you know how to write a piece of code to force a full width profile when in social articles tab, let me know. I know it may not be a huge issue as it’s working for others. But not for me and I can’t go on without a solution. So if I have to pay you to spend the time to fix this I will. I have to do something!!!!

You guys have been in my website before and didn’t find anything so that’s not going to work again. I need some code or bug fixed somewhere and as you read my other messages, I have tried everything from deleting CSS to all plugins.

Thanks

@marceltj

No not yet. My site is almost ready for live and it’s one of the last items on my list. I have a developer who may create a function to “force” the full page width section. What’s so strange is that I can create a brand new install of this with the same plugins and CSS and it works vince. But once it’s broken like this it appears almost unfixable (without coding) or untraceable as to WHAT causes this. IT”S a TOTAL mystery to everyone including this theme developer. Nobody knows yet and all I hear is the same old same old stuff – not that I’m blaming this theme or anything. It’s just that nobody know WHAT is causing it other than to say it’s not their theme or plugin.

So this is where it stands now.

@labdesignbrasil

The font size should do that for you – the smaller the px number the smaller the icons will be. It’s a matter of getting the right look you want based on the padding on each side of the icons and the size of the icons by the font-size.

Take care

[mcperly]

@labdesignbrasil

You simply need to copy and paste that exact same CSS code (and change it of course to your exact needs padding and font needs) and put it into the Theme Options > General Settings > Quick CSS section located near the bottom of that page.

Something like this and adjust the numbers to what you want – you can simply play with it till you get it how you want.

#buddypress div#item-nav ul li a {
font-size: 12px;
padding-left: 6px;
padding-right: 6px;
}

Hope this helps.

@solutionarian

My issue was different but you can easily use CSS to change that

#buddypress div#item-nav ul li a {
font-size: a lower number like 12px;
padding-left: you can also reduce padding here to something like 6px or so;
padding-right: you can also reduce padding here to something like 6px or so;
}

This allows more icons in a row as well – if this was your problem.

I did this back on March 10th and no plugins had a conflict at all. I Don’t know what happened or what you did but ALL of my custom CSS from the CSS editor in Jetpack is completely deleted. This will take me hours to fix now.

This is great and I’m so glad you were able to respond to the other comment and issue from someone else above. But this is NOT my problem. REPEAT HTIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gave you guys an account and my login info 10 days ago which I’m going to delete soon as I’m not going to keep open access to my account forever waiting for a response. It would at minimum be nice to know that your working on it or are going to look at it and have been busy or something – but nothing. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!!

People can post articles – user roles are fine. BUT THE HEADER DISAPPEARS. The header with someones pictures, their cover background etc – that whole area just disappears. I’ve tried every single suggestion and nothing has changed. I’ve deleted CSS, plugins, nothing works – it still disappears when anything is done with social articles in the profile.

Can someone please help? I would be grateful for any assistance. Thank you very kindly. I know you are all busy. I just don’t want to be forgotten. Thank you.

I have tried everything and nothing works. I have tried.

Erasing all CSS
Deleted bp-custom.php
Deleted files in the child theme
Deactivated Child theme altogether
Deleted Social Articles and reinstalled from fresh file
Deactivated the plugins to see if any of them conflicted with this issue (None of them conflicted)
I’ve Reinstalled Kleo

I just don’t know what else to do. I can’t tell if this is a plugin issue or something in theme – even though you guys don’t find any issues. All I know is that this ONLY happens with the full width profile. If I disable full width – this does not happen and I can see the main profile section with avatar etc. But when I enable full width profile, for some reason, the Title section is forcefully enabled (Even though I have disabled it) and the profile section with Avatar etc disappears. So something is going on with the full width profile on my theme with Social Articles only.

I have attached 2 images from firebug when comparing how it scales out normally in other tabs with full width profile and then when the My Articles (Mine is called My News as I changed name) tab is selected. You will see that the Section class under main id goes to container-wrap under social articles and all others it goes to bp-full-width etc.

I’m hoping this will help somehow and you may know what this could be as I’ve tried everything and it’s driving me crazy because nothing I try has worked including deleting any changes I have made in child them and plugins etc.

Thank you.

Ok – but I wouldn’t think it should take too much. I haven’t looked into this in great detail yet but it would be nice if it were possible to just have the option to make the members directory page work like the Kleo Members Masonry in the VC. That can go full width and is very responsive and everything and is already done. The only problem is that it the member masonry does not have any search capability with it like the members directory and some of those similar dropdown features. The members masonry looks great but is limited in its ability. I set members directory to full width but its only full width within the container…as you know of course.

Thanks

[mcperly]

Yes correct. But they only show up in AJAX. They all do not show up when they hit enter. That works only OK but is not the best option. Perhaps if Ajax was a little quicker. It’s not horribly slow but most users wont wait a few seconds – they are used to just typing and then hitting enter immediately. But only posts show up when enter is hit. It won’t show everything.

The tabs idea is somewhat cool yes. It’s still not optimal to me but it’s not a bad option either. I guess another thing is it would be great if the results would show up on the same page below or something instead of taking someone to a whole other search results page without the search bard – can’t even find a way to customize the search results page. So they have to get back to that page again to do another search. So the results are still not bad – jsus not the best yet and wanted to offer some suggestions. Unless I am still missing something and a way to do what I want to do and just haven’t found it yet.

Thanks

[mcperly]

Also – if the full width version may be possible – would be great to just add that to groups also. This site for for a very very large industry and I’m just trying to find out if there are various ways to get more profiles or groups in the loop to view with the anticipation of having a very large amount of members. And there are various ways of displaying more potentially.

Thanks

[mcperly]

I suppose that depends. I think I could get 5 across if I remove some padding/spacing etc and you are able get the percentages right to get 5 across. Tried looking at the file a bit and didn’t do enough research when I noticed all the percentages compared to widths etc to understand it myself.

Or something else I didn’t look into quite yet is simply having the members and maybe even groups pull up in full width screen like the pinterest style blog you have set up. Perhaps that’s a more intriguing solution now that I think about it. Perhaps that’s possible? Maybe it already is and I haven’t noticed how to do that setting.

Thanks

I see nothing in the members-loop.php file for col 12. See attached screen shot. This is the only number I have found in the entire file. – And this didn’t do it when I tried changing it to see if this was it somehow – even though it’s not the number 12. The number is highlighted. It’s all I see.

I TOTALLY misunderstood you before and I’m so sorry about that. You are so right!!! Your response earlier put me on a quest and I was able to change SO MUCH text on my site through Poedit etc. I wish I knew that a long time ago but I know it now. So I apologize for misunderstanding earlier and in the long run you have just saved me SO MUCH TIME! I can’t thank you enough Laura.

[mcperly]

Thanks for the tip but that’s not true at all about PHP files. That’s why they make “Child Themes” That’s why there is bp-custom.php. That’s why people need backup copies for and making the changes on a staging or local site and testing first before uploading to live site would be needed. Anyway – Thanks

[mcperly]

FYI – This wasn’t working for me either. But I simply cut and pasted this code in my text editor. I had to retype everything from scratch. Then it worked perfectly. So if it does not work for anyone, just retype it all in the order you want – do not copy and paste. Hope this helps someone.
