Description
Hi,
I've tried putting a post in the forums, but unfortunately i haven;t received any feedback. I've tried investigating the problem, but as i'm very new to using wordpress/buddypress i'm not exactly competent in coding!
I have installed buddypress on a multisite WP3.8.3 using the Aqua Theme with compatibility pack. I did try without the compatibility pack, but there were a number of links that didn't work, i couldn't get the sidebar to show, and there was more work to do with styling.
The issue i have is that the 'Add as friend/PM buttons' are missing from the member header. The member-header.php includes <?php do_action( 'bp_member_header_actions' ); ?>. When viewing users in the ‘members’ list, there is the option to ‘add friend’. However, when a user views another users profile, there is no option to ‘add friend’ or ‘send message’. When viewing page source, there is <div id=”item-buttons”>, but its blank. The site is at www.hatcherycentral.com/social, although to view it will require free membership.
I've tried deactivating all plugins and reverting to a standard WordPress theme, but no joy.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Angus
In a nutshell, remove your compatibility pack and use BP's built-in theme compatibility.
Follow the advice listed here for a similar problem.
If the member buttons are not showing up on a regular, unaltered theme like Twenty Twelve, then you'll have to do further debugging.
