Well that’s the wrong page. You said “I would also like to place the same field next to the users name on the top of there buddypress pages if possible?” and the link I sent you was about adding it to that page, so I was showing you how to do that. You can use the same code in kleo/buddypress/members/members-loop.php. Add it to line 69 (I didnt do this on purpose.)

Looks like you’re php is a screwed up. You can’t call html within the php tags.

Lets back up. Did you copy the file from the Kleo directory and put it in your child theme?

copy /Kleo/Buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
to /Kleo-child/Buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

on like 53 it tells you to add any additional profile fields there. So add the following on line 56 (you want it above the bp_profile_header_meta action call.

COPY CODE

?>
<div id='member_profile'>
<div class='profile_fields'>Category: <span><?php bp_profile_field_data( 'field=Type of account' );?></span></div>
</div>
<?php

Works perfect for me.

When using VC, some of your items have a dropdown for the icon you want to use. It would be nice to see what it looks like instead of just the name. It would be cool if the icon was next to the name in the dropdown, but I’d be happy with a listing of them in your documentation.

@ThemeVal,

I’m using display widgets as well, but I really dont want to control a bunch of things with it since it has to make a decision with EVERY widget on the page. For performance, its best to control what gets loaded via templates.

Hi Leedman, I’m glad you posted this. Here’s my .02 cents.

Hidden menu items is a recent feature of BuddyPress, not Kleo.

Nav menu: Personally, this has never bugged me, but you’re right. But its much more apparent and harder to use on your site since your logo is taller than the demo Kleo logo.

Caching. Agreed. I’ve been playing around with W3 Total Cache and had some success. I’ll be posting my settings for it once I’m done tuning it.

Picking up first image of post. Agreed. I ran into this issue the other day. Sometimes I want text before the first image in a post. Setting the featured image will put the image before the text in the post. Without it, you dont get images in the blog posts listings. Thanks for bringing this one up.

Site announcements. My old theme would pop up a dialog message. In Kleo, it adds it to the side bar if you’ve added that widget (BuddyPress Sitewide Notices). Its not a prominent and I was planning on implementing the pop up when I have time. As far as the community pages via sitewide, I think that’s more of a BuddyPress function and not a Kelo function (personal opinion).

What plugin are you using for Projects? Does it come up when using the default theme? One of the issues with themes playing nicely with all plugins is that you have so many different people devleoping plugins (a lot of them are hacks). The other issue is that some are pretty complex and add their elements. This is difficult for theme devlopers since they have no clue about these elements to be able to style them correctly (I realize that your Projects problem isnt a style issue). Prime example is rtMedia and wooCommerce. Kleo has restyled rtMedia completely to work with the theme. Try running wooCommerce. Its impossible because Kelo doesnt support it. I’ve come accross several plugins that would easily plug into Kleo if the plugin developer used wordpress/buddypress standard naming for buttons and other elements. Scripts are another issue. There are often conflicts between the plugin scripts and the Theme scripts. Again, this is more of a “how in the world would a theme developer ever account for EVERYTHING.”

Clicking on Forums under your profile did NOT redirect me to the site forums. It kept me on your profile as designed.

BuddyPress profile nav menus. This is one of the top BuddyPress requests. It should really be handled by BuddyPress core, but its easy enough to add yourself. I’ve posted about it if you want to see the code.

I couldnt find examples of the video issue in the activity feed. But, in general, the feed with show an excerpt of a giving length. It does not take into consideration html markup. So if one video source has more code than another, you’ll see that it will show less of the actual text.

Add friend issue. My buttons are blue no matter where you look. You’re might be different because of your css errors (see below). I would look at it for you, but I cant get into your site (again, see below)

There is a featured posts option. Go to Appearance -> Customize -> Featured. Use whatever is set there as a tag in your posts. You can control how it looks using Theme Options – Blog.

Like button is only on blog posts (not the activity). And it only shows up if you have social share AND likes in Theme Options -> Blog. I too would like to see the ability to have ‘likes’ without turning on social icons. Adding likes to activity should really be handled by BuddyPress. I’m currently using a plugin called BuddyPress Like, but its far from working correctly.

My top menu shows up on everypage. Its showing up on your home page and forums. Not buddypress pages.

A few things regarding your site.

1 – Its throwing errors. Check your browswer console for details. Also, looks like you’re using pagespeed. I would disable that until you get everything working correctly. It could be causing a lot of your issues.

2 – I tried signing up for an account so I could see some of the issue you brought up. Why ask for a password during registration if you’re going to send me a password. The password you set was unreadable so I requested a new one. The one sent to me via email didnt work, so I was never able to get into your site.

3 – Performance issues. If your hosting company offers APC, make sure its enabled and has sufficienct memory allocated to it. I’m on godaddy and the default was 32mb. I upped that using a custom php.ini file and saw immediate results.

I suggest moving some of the bugs/not working issues into their own topics. It will be easier to help.

Again, thank you for posting the suggestions. I planned on doing it as well, but have been focusing on getting my site launched.

No problem. Dont ever modify files in the Kleo directory. If you need to, copy the file you need to modify to the kleo-child directory. None of those files will be touched during updates.

Unless I’m completely not understanding, the first code snippet in the link I sent you works like a charm.

COPY CODE

function custom_adminbar_titles() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
        $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
                'id'    => 'my-account-xprofile',
                'title' => 'Bio',
			) 
		);
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'custom_adminbar_titles' );

That code will change the “Profile” link to “Bio” located in the admin bar menu under “howdy, xxxx”

You probably didnt get an answer because I dont believe there is a easy way to do this using the theme options. I just did a semi-test and you can probably do something like this.

1 – Copy /kleo/footer.php to your /kelo-child/footer.php

2 – Comment out

COPY CODE

 <?php get_sidebar('footer');?> 

and save to your server.

3 – In Theme Opions -> General Settings, scroll to the bottom and add all of your html markup in the Footer Text editor.

I haven’t fully tested this, its just a best guess.

If that doesnt work, you’ll still have to comment out their footer sidebar call and custom code your own footer (probably in footer.php).

Keep in mind that the more you modify core Kelo files, the more you’ll have to test/change/update during Kleo updates.

Maybe someone else knows an easier way.

This is not a theme function. You’ll either have to find a plugin that does it (I’m pretty sure there’s one) or you can do it in your childs function.php file

Here’s what I do. I design it using VC, then switch to classic mode. You’ll see all the shortcode goodness. I copy and paste that where I want it. And yes, you can put it in the text sidebar widget.

I’m guessing your not directly editing any php files, but if you ever want to add it directly to a php code, then you’d call it like this.

COPY CODE

<?php echo do_shortcode('[kleo_gap size="20px" class="" id=""]') ?>

Hey Kieran,

There are several ways of doing this. The easiest way is to change your ‘medium’ image size in rtMedia settings. I went with 700px wide, though the container is 804px (i believe). I also went with 500px on the height because I didnt want large portrait images to take up the entire page.

This great. Thank you.

Another suggestion. It would be nice to have it also take into consideration the display settings and title section settings set at the page level. Right now you are only checking is_page and is_single. If you put a buddypress check in there, we can also control showing the footer and other things. This is important for private sites where we are showing posts and members in the footer.

Currently, I’m using a child buddypress.php file and only showing the footer for logged in users.

Thank you again though! This is helpful.

you’re getting jquery errors. i think it has something to do with your pagespeed minifying the jquery scripts.

I can tell you from personal experience that I’ve had to jump through a few hoops to get caching set up right on my site. Things need to be loaded in a certain order and some things I cant even cache.

Hey Abe,

Sorry to highjack this thread, but I am working on exactly this function. Can you explain how to do it without a plugin? I’ve tried numerous ways of creating a custom template for /register and I cant seem to get Kelo to display sidebars.

I really dont want to rely on a plugin to be updated and maintained when I know a custom page will never show them.

Regarding the sidebar font color. You’ll need to play around with a few css rules to get every type of text (regular, H4, titles, etc). Here are a few

COPY CODE

#main .sidebar {
 color: #CA0000; /*set the color here */
}

#main. sidebar h4 {
color: #CA0000; /*set the color here */
}

Regarding the background, it all depends on how you did it. If you did it by specifying a color, and not an image, then something like this works

COPY CODE

.container-wrap main-color {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9);
}

Hey bk.

1 – Likes on the social links was introduced recently. So make sure that you have installed the latest update. Also, make sure you have ‘enable post likes’ turned on in the theme option settings.

2 – Go into your menu (appearance -> menus). Remove your current sign up. Expand BuddyPress and add ‘register’ (its under logged-out). Rename it from Register to Sign Up and save. It will only display when a user isn’t logged in.

3 – I havent played with the Events plugin. Does it have an actual page called events or is it just a slug created by the plugin? If there isn’t an events page, try creating one and adding the events shortcode to it. Maybe.

Good job Kieran. I just uploaded my live site so I’ve been a bit busy, but soon I’m going to try to make a plugin out of this that auto updates the notifications without a screen refresh. I have it working on my site flawlessly, but its a pain to configure. And if I have enough time, I’m going to make it a drop down so you can see what the notifications are, link to them and clear them all.

Hey Kieran,

If you look at your code, you are setting $notifications to messages_get_uread_count. But then below that, you are setting $count to the value of $messages (instead of $notifications), which isn’t defined, so it will always return ‘0’. Furthermore, messages_get_unread_count will return a number, including 0, so you dont need the $count line anyways.

Anyhow, replace

COPY CODE

$notifications = messages_get_unread_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
$count         = ! empty( $messages ) ? count( $messages ) : 0;

with

COPY CODE

$count = messages_get_unread_count( );

And you should be all set.

Side note. Instead of calling

COPY CODE

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

twice, just wrap both menu functions within one.

WAIT! If the the border-width of 5px isnt being set properly, then the image jumps to the upper right. This looks similar to your issue, right?

https://31.media.tumblr.com/a7cb3b3cb1f68c74d13cc54be9c13d85/tumblr_n32cbpjoNc1squolvo1_500h.jpg

So, what I did is brought up the demo site, inspected the element in firebug. I unchecked ‘border-width: 5px;’ in the #buddypress .activity-list .activity-avatar rule.

See if your border-width is set to 0 or is crossed out.

Hold on. Squashing a 60px image to dispaly at 50px will not cause blurriness. It will if you go from 50px to 60px.

Did you reupload your avatar? If not, it will still use your original 50px avatar and blow it up to 60px which will cause blurriness. If you reupload your avatar, BuddyPress will save it at 60px, overwriting the smaller 50px one.

Just try it 🙂 I’m determined to get this working. LOL
