BuddyPress: changing Base Name & making it stick

Hi:

my client's site is:
http://72.18.130.197/~hoopinst
(production server)

Question: I try to change the Base Name and other options on that page, but it they just go back to the default. Is there a way to hide the base name?

thanks,
Terri

Help & Support from WPMU Dev members and staff

Hiya,

Are you referring to changing the theme details? And saying they don't change? Or is it the WP / BP core that's the problem?

Cheers, James

Yes, what do you mean by Base Name?

Hi I'm sorry I wasn't more clear.

I think I solved the problem: in case someone else runs into it:

My client didn't like the the 'Base Profile' title coming up in member profiles when members tried to edit their profiles. She wanted to change the name or eliminate it altogether.

She tried to change it in her SuperAdmin/BuddyPress Settings/General Settings, but although she had SuperAdmin status, her changes never stuck.

Since I had the original SuperAdmin account, I made the change instead. And it stuck: when members want to edit their profiles, they'll see: "Editing 'Basic Profile' Profile Group".

So, if your client doesn't have the original SuperAdmin account, either give them that username and password or make changes like that yourself if they aren't working for the client.

So, my client is happy :-)
