Hi,

I have a similar problem to this.

– I uploaded a portrait orientation image with dimensions of 2448 × 3264 to the WordPress Media Library.
– I created a new post, and selected the above image as my featured image.
– I published the post.

On the single post page, the image is displaying a 437 x 583 pixel image SCALED UP to 764 x 1019 pixels.

So this seems to be re-sizing my original image to a height of 583 pixels based on this line in kleo/functions.php

add_image_size( 'kleo-full-width', 1038, 583 );

Which then displays a pixelated image as by scaling the image based on the height, the width is not sufficient.

Are you sure in order to fix this, it’s correct to change the post thumbnail size from:

set_post_thumbnail_size( 672, 9999 ); // Unlimited height, soft crop

to

set_post_thumbnail_size( 672, 900 ); // Unlimited height, soft crop

and NOT change the line with the height parameter of 583 which seems to be the function that is setting the incorrect height?

add_image_size( 'kleo-full-width', 1038, 583 );

Could someone please clarify this?

Thanks!

Hi @catalin – thanks for your reply. I can’t seem to replicate it myself now, so I have no idea how it was caused, but other posts don’t seem to be having the same problem, so I assume it was some kind of temporary upload problem!

[Tom]

Thanks very much for your help @sharmstr and @abe – some very useful tips there – I’ll definitely modify it using some of the shortcodes you suggested too Abe.

Hi @sharmstr and @abe, I just updated to BuddyPress 2.1 and KLEO 2.0, and I had misunderstood the above post and thought (in KLEO 2.0) that I’d be able to edit the registration page using the visual editor to add some text blocks and important notices we would like to make people aware of before registration.

I assume I therefore need to move /themes/kleo/buddypress/register.php to /themes/kleo-child/register.php and edit it directly there to add any additional text blocks we need.

Or is this page going to be made editable using the Visual Editor soon do you know?

Thanks!

I’m working on a website for a client, and he requested something I thought would be standard functionality in BuddyPress/bbPress and I’m amazed that it’s not. It concerns privacy.

All he wanted to do was make content submitted/uploaded by users (e.g. media uploaded through rtMedia, and activity/status updates) visible ONLY to their friends and/or other logged-in members.

What I found through extensive testing was that the best way to achieve this was through the following:

1) Setting the rtMedia privacy settings to rtMedia > Privacy > ON, and rtMedia > Privacy > Default Privacy > Friends (Visible to user’s friends)

AND

2) Installing the plugin BuddyPress Activity Privacy, and making sure the default privacy level for uploaded activities is “my friends”

Now although I’m hugely surprised that there are no core BuddyPress privacy settings that control this kind of thing that’s an acceptable solution for the time being.

However, despite those measures, KLEO is still displaying the text activity updates publicly on two pages:

http://mysite.com/members/username/ (the latest update is displayed publicly)
http://mysite.com/members/ (the member’s boxes display the latest updates publicly here)

So my request is:

Until the BuddyPress developers “see the light” and realise that user privacy is important nowadays, could you please update the KLEO theme files to respect the privacy settings as set by BuddyPress Activity Privacy which as it stands seems to be the best solution for this?

Or even better, look into incorporating a privacy plugin like that into your default installation…

Thanks for listening!

Great news @abe, I’m trying to do this too…

[Tom]

I think h1.page-title {display:none;} hides the space as well – this is how I have had to do it in the end as my forum root still reverts to using the kleo/archive.php page template.

[Tom]

I think it would just take the version number from the parent KLEO theme.

I’ve put my forum work on hold waiting for some kind of fix for this issue. At the moment the only way I can see to fix it is to do the following:

1) Change my custom forum page slug to something different to what is set under Forums > Settings. So I have changed it to http://mydomain.com/travel-forums/

2) Leave the forums root slug (under Forums > Settings > Forum Root Slug > Forum Root as forums.

3) On my custom forum page (http://mydomain.com/travel-forums/) under Theme General Settings > Title Section, make sure Title and Breadcrumb are both hidden. The Breadcrumb being hidden prevents users navigating back to the “official” forum root – http://mydomain.com/forums/ instead of my custom page ttp://mydomain.com/travel-forums/

This seems a bit of an extreme measure just to remove a page title!

Does anyone know if there are other ways that users will be able to navigate back to the official forum root other than the breadcrumb?

[Tom]

Hi, yes, I’m running bbPress 2.5.4 and 1.6.3 – just checked.

[Tom]

Thanks for your help, yes it would be great to be able to sort this mystery out! Basically as soon as I make a custom page the forum root in Settings > Forums > Forum route slug it changes the template back to kleo/archive.php and stops using my page customizations.

[Tom]

Hi,

I installed “Reveal Template” and went to my /forums page. It says it is using kleo/archive.php. I also have the same settings as you in the forum-settings.png above.

I tried re-naming the page as forums-test and Forum Root Slug > Forum Root as forums-test with the same result. The title is still showing.

So I decided to try again, I created a new page with the slug /forum-test-final and did what you did above (added custom heading, added a text block with [bbp-forum-index], and ticked “Hide the title”.

Now, when I visit http://mydomain.com/forum-test-final/ the title is hidden (and the template being used is kleo/page.php)

BUT, when I go to Forums > Settings and change the Forum Root to the above slug forum-test-final it puts the <h1> page heading back in and switches back to using kleo/archive.php as the template.

So does this mean I cannot set the forum root to be my customised forum index? What impact will this have?

Thanks for all your help!

[Tom]

I think that when the Settings > Forums settings are set up using the default settings with the forums slug as forums (see attachment) for some reason this prevents the “hide the title” check box from working on the forums page when using a custom page with [bbp-forum-index] included.

I hope that makes sense!

This may help you…

I just renamed the forums permalink from http://mydomain.com/forums/ to http://mydomain.com/forums-testing/ and without making any other page modifications, the <h1> title disappeared.

So it’s something to do with the page having the slug http://mydomain.com/forums/ that is preventing that check box working.

[Tom]

No there is nothing at all in my functions.php – except the original comments by Seventhqueen.

It’s the kleo-child theme that I uploaded from the KLEO install folders and all I have done is to add 4 font formatting styles.

I even just FTPed up the original Seventhqueen kleo-child style.css file and the problem is still there with the original KLEO child theme.

[Tom]

Thanks very much for your quick reply…

I just had a thought that it might be something to do with the Child Theme settings. I disabled the KLEO Child Theme I have created, and re-enabled the main KLEO theme, and it works with that perfectly. The <h1> page title is hidden.

For some reason in the KLEO-child theme, something is preventing the Theme General Settings > ‘hide the title’ checkbox from being picked up I think.

In my child theme ALL I have added are a couple of css styles in my child style.css. There are no other modifications.

Any ideas?

[Tom]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but I’m not sure how to do this from your instructions.

At the moment, as I said, I have it set to this:

Settings > Reading > Front page displays > Your Latests Posts

I created a new page under Pages > Add New, and called it “Blog”, but I want it to be using the masonry style, and using the page editor I cannot see how to set it to masonry.

How do I select the masonry layout on the new blog page I have created. I want it to look like the current front page, just without the title “blog” – see attachment.
