It fixes quite a few bugs (see the closed issues for a list), among which are a number of permissions-related issues. It also gives you a new theme which allows you to strip down some of the features which might be seen as unnecessary, like setting parent docs. However, it hasn’t been…[Read more]

Give it a try, and let me know how it looks on your system.

That solved the issue. It was just missing this header.

That happens to us, too, if we change themes then change back to cbox-mla! Which is quite worrying. I just opened a thread about it here:

We at the Modern Language Association just launched a new minimalist theme for our CBOX-based website, MLA Commons. It’s a fairly major re-imagining of the CBOX theme. Here are a few of the things we did:

fixed a number of bugs, like the border around the text box I’m typing in right now
modernized the buttons to simple, flat…[Read more]

I thought of submitting a pull request to BuddyPress for this (which would fix this issue directly in the function bp_profile_group_tabs, rather than just filtering the output), but since there also needed to be a check in the theme template to handle…[Read more]

On our mla install, this button is called “Profile,” and on a vanilla CBOX install, this button is called “Base.” Clicking that button has no effect.

What does this button do? If it doesn’t do anything, wouldn’t it be safe to remove it?

Screenshot attached.

That may indeed be easier than debugging from dynamic.css, which for me involves a ridiculous amount of grepping.

CBOX combines all the stylesheets into one file called dynamic.css. You can also write CSS using LESS.

Yet I can’t find anything about using LESS with a CBOX theme. Writing LESS in style.css or in assets/css/ doesn’t seem to be compiled to CSS. How can I use LESS with a CBOX…[Read more]

I know I can copy over assets/fonts/fonts.css and modify it, but then iconsweetsregular breaks, because the paths are relative to cbox-theme. I can change the paths for the iconsweetsregular font files to ../../../cbox-theme/assets/fonts/…[Read more]

Maybe something somewhere wasn’t taking. I didn’t see any relevant error messages in the debug.log, and I didn’t get the fatal error about the undefined function, so it’s a mystery to me.

Using define( 'CBOX_OVERRIDE_PLUGINS', true );, I’m able to disable bbpress on the network and enable it on the root buddypress blog, but that unfortunately causes the issue where users lose capabilities. Instead, it looks like I’ll need to keep bbpress enabled network-wide, yet disable it for all child sites…[Read more]

On our CBOX install, we noticed that enabling bbPress network-wide caused each child site to have forums enabled in their dashboards, which we don’t want to do. Our solution was to disable bbPress network-wide, and just enable it for our main site. This was working fairly well, but recently we’ve seen…[Read more]
