    Try the “My category order” plugin. It let’s you choose in what order your categories will appear (and which ones to hide).

    I would also overthink the usage of pages (with subpages). There’s a nice plugin called widget context. Together with SubPages plugin, you can choose what subpages will get displayed on which pages or whether categories get displayed or now. It’s a great alternative for me. Especially the widget context plugin is pretty self-explaning and works very well.

    I found a different plugin because bp-groupblog still causes errors for me. Thank you for the advice though 🙂

    I have the same problem and kinda realized it has to be a css thing.

    Where do I put the

    td {vertical-align: top;}

    ???

    I mean, in which part of the css do I put it? I am using wordpress 2.9.2 and buddypress with modified default theme.

    Any help appreciated!

    I have the same problem. When I add
    for the line breaks in HTML view, they work, but as soon as I use the visual editor and switch back, all breaks are gone! I have seen eklispringer and others posting the same question in different threads and nobody ever got an answer.

    I don’t know how my site URL would be of any help as I put in the breaks manually everywhere now and switched of the visual editor to avoid problems. But I cannot let others use that page if the problem remains.

    Does anybody know how to solve the problem, please?

    Thanks for advice! 🙂

    Hello, I am using

    WordPress MU 2.9.1.1 and
    Buddypress latest version

    also bp contents and
    role scoper 1.1.6

    everything just installed, nothing changed/adapted yet.

    When I choose groups I see my groups and when I click on one I receive the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_groupblog_is_blog_enabled() in /hp/bg/ab/zq/www/wp-mu/wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/bp-groupblog.php on line 127

    Groupblog Settings gives me the folowing error:
    Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_groupblog_management_page’ was given in /hp/bg/ab/zq/www/wp-mu/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339

    I can create a new group with name, settings (public, enable wire comments) and avatar. After inviting friends I click on finish and receive this error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_groupblog_is_blog_enabled() in /hp/bg/ab/zq/www/wp-mu/wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/bp-groupblog.php on line 127

    The group is there when I go back to the dashboard/blog page.

    What did we do wrong?

    @froman118

    That is the actual solution to it! Easy as always:

    I didn’t deactivate the original 2.7 category widget! Arrrrrrrrghhhhh how stupid. I have just been sent the same hint by the developer himself and it works.

    No more A-Z for me, thanks people.

    btw: the wp_list_bookmarks or anything named category_order couldn’t be found in the template code. I assume the reason is that the theme is widgetized so it does need a different plugin like this to be replaced and the actual codes may be different? Maybe someone still cares for the code in case the theme is not widget-ready, but I assume the topic is resolved (at least for me it is, for now) 😉

    @michael: it does give me the “successful” message, but I assume I need to change something in the them still.

    @froman118: I am using other widgets successfully, e.g. event calendar or the NextGENgallery widget. Just this one gives me problems.

    The code you are giving me, where do I find it? In the article code or the main template code or where? I went through all of them but can’t seem to find it.

    Hey guys,

    I am using 2.7 now and tried this plugin. I can move the categories around, click on sort order and still it has no effect on my homepage. The categories are still in A-Z order. Do I have to trick the theme or change anything in the CSS / PHP part? And if so, where would I find it?

    Hey guys I found the mistake and just let you know the solution to my own question.

    The were two problems I wasn’t aware of.

    1. A simple typo: src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/search.gif” I was missing out on the ?> to close the directory path. I did remember I deleted an ? but I forgot about the > as well when I tried to fix it. So that would put the original style with the english button back up as it was.

    2. Yes, I CAN use a picture that I uploaded into the “media”-section, no matter what its name is (I didn’t expect it to work the way I imagined it lol). What I had to do was change the source from ‘stylesheet_directory’ to my own media-URL of the image I uploaded (my new button with the German word for “search”.

    This is how it looks (and works) now:

    <input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>”/><input class=”input” type=”image” src=”http://silq.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/suchen.jpg&#8221; value=”submit” style=”border:0px”/>

    As you see, the new image name is ‘suchen.jpg’ and I changed the source to make it work 😉

    But thank you for your advice, it’s always worth a try and the best way to learn is working it out by yourself anyway, right 😉

    That doesn’t work either. I assume the directory isn’t the same, because the template I purchased as a whole thing and adding my own little .gif into the existing style sheet must take more than this one step.

    So this is what it looks like right now, you see the new path that I insert:

    Volltext-Suche:<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>”/><input class=”input” type=”image” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); /wp-content/uploads/2009/02/search.gif” value=”submit” style=”border:0px”/>
    </form>

    What else do I have to do now for the theme to use the media-path (my upload) instead of the .gif-image from its own theme directory?

    I tried that and it still doesn’t show up. Sorry.

    Hey Micheal,

    thanks for the reply! My PHP person knew how to access the settings without me logging in on the regular wp login page.

    We simply deleted the buddypress plugin manually as you suggested and it worked. I still wouldn’t know how to do it by myself, but the page is back up and working… 😉

    How do I clear or recreate the database? I couldn’t deactivate or clear the plugin because it doesn’t even show up on my plugin list (although installation was succesful according to the message that poped up).

    As a matter of fact, I cannot even log in to my admin site because of the error message poping up. I am using 2.7, so if anyone knows how I can manually delete everything that has to do with this uncompatibel plugin, let me know- should be easy for frequent wordpress users, I hope? 🙁

    In reply to: error messages

    How/ Where did you do that? I am new to wordpress and just got a similar error message after trying to install a plugin that is not 2.7 compatible…

    Please help, I don’t know what to do about it.

    Thread Starter silkchengermany

    (@silkchengermany)

    I didn’t know that at first, but I think you are right….

    Now the problem is that I don’t see these [buddypress] plugins on my plugins list at all, although I received the “succesfully installed” message. I also tried another one that is not 2.7 compatible and received an error message when I tried to activate it [Plugin: aleph]. But at least that one I was able to see and delete from the list.

    How (and where???) can I now manually delete the buddypress plugins?

    Please help, I cannot even log in into my blog anymore, the screen is full of error messages! 🙁
