Design error in X's BuddyPress theme?

[demonboy]

Hi,

Apparently BuddyPress has the ability to bulk delete Notifications. See this screenshot what it looks like:

However, this is what it looks like in my X-themed website:

Am I missing something here? Do I need to turn something on or is this an error in the styling of BuddyPress by X?

Hi @demonboy,

Thanks for reaching out.

I checked and it’s by design on X theme’s template for Buddypress. It’s intentional but you can always put it back by removing the file notifications-loop.php in /wp-content/themes/x/buddypress/members/single/notifications/ folder. OR, if you don’t wish to remove anything then you can just copy the original template file notifications-loop.php from \wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\buddypress\members\single\notifications\
to child theme’s /wp-content/themes/x-child/buddypress/members/single/notifications/ folder.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Rad,

Deleting a file from the core X theme isn’t ideal so I went for the second option of adding it to my child theme. I tried this twice and both times it crashed my site, squishing everything and returning a ‘This site is experiencing technical difficulties’.

Hi @demonboy,

Ah, sorry about that. It should be legacy template, the correct file that you should copy is this

\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\notifications\notifications-loop.php

and not this

\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\buddypress\members\single\notifications\notifications-loop.php

There are two sets of templates within Buddypress.

Thanks!

Great, that’s the one, thanks.
