I like this thread, so I\'m going to check back on it in 3 hours. If you haven\'t cleaned it up yourselves, I\'ll do it for you.

And... if I wasn\'t posting this from the Apple store, I\'d probably have locked it. Haha!

We\'ve added a new member to our moderation team here on bp.org.

Most of you already know r-a-y from the awesome amount of help he provides in the forums, but if you see him around give him a hi-five.

I like it. Will be very popular when it\'s finished.

Good job. :D

Did you do this:

Have you gone through the bbPress installation process in your wp-admin yet?

This problem comes from the bp_has_custom_signup_page function.

It checks to see if your theme can locate_template( array( \'register.php\' ), false ) or locate_template( array( \'/registration/register.php\' ), false ) )

Since your child theme has neither of those files, naturally it will return false and give you wp-signup.php as the link. To counter this, BuddyPress attempts to be [...]

@darbymanning It looks like you\'re using an old BuddyPress theme, with bits and pieces of theme in the wrong spot. Maybe try reuploading BuddyPress and the bp-default theme and try again?

@nathankisanski BuddyPress by default doesn\'t use your displayname for the URL, rather it uses either your nicename or login (I forget which at the moment [...]

Check out http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1970 and see if those fixes help?

I know there are lots of different server setups and installation types we\'re trying to account for, so it\'s possible that something could need adjusting.

It broked my guestbook. 1 star.

A few other actions were added in 1.2 to help plugin authors hook into the correct places within BuddyPress.

bp_setup_globals
bp_setup_nav
bp_setup_root_components
bp_setup_widgets

The intent of those hooks for plugin authors, is to not load your code before BuddyPress does, potentially putting your navigation menus or global component setups out of alignment with BuddyPress. Typical WordPress priority rules apply, so [...]

Can someone file a ticket on this if you haven\'t already. This is a bug that will need to be addressed pretty quickly.

/* Bounce user to their profile when logging in */
function custom_login_redirect_to_profile( $url, $isset, $user ) {
return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID );
}
add_filter( \'login_redirect\', \'custom_login_redirect_to_profile\', 11, 3 );

There are two ways for this email to still get sent:

1.) Your active theme does not have either /register.php or /registration/register.php in it.
2.) You are an admin that has just added a user to your site.

If either of those things are true, the email will get sent out.

If you are hard pressed to make [...]

bp_is_my_profile() ...will tell you if you\'re viewing your own profile...
bp_is_member()...will tell you if you\'re viewing any user, including yourself...

It sounds to me like the upgrade (or FTP) didn\'t add and/or replace all of the included files.

Can you BACKUP and completely remove the entire plugins/buddypress directory from your installation, and install a fresh copy of 1.2?

Have you tried turning your internet connection off completely?

I had this issue as a result of the anti-virus and firewall I was running at the time. Turned off the firewall and anti-virus, and all was well. I\'m sure there\'s a better solution, but that did it for me.

http://premiumbpthemes.com is shaping up to have some nice offerings soon. Otherwise there\'s always http://buddypress.org/extend/themes/

BuddyPress.org is the insider community. If you\'re registered and paying attention, then you\'re one of the cool kids.

There\'s a few reasons why BuddyPress.org works and looks different than a usual BuddyPress installation does out of the box. I\'ll do my best to explain them for you (and everyone else) but I can assure you, there\'s [...]

Netbeans

Notepad++ for spot edits

IIS for easy local site deployment on Windows 7

TortoiseSVN

phpMyAdmin of course

Firefox + Firebug for peeking at source; Google Chrome for speedy previews of changes

Pidgin for IRC

Skype for work

Tweetdeck for staying connected to the outside world

Pandora for a random music mix

Whiskey, because it makes everything better... :D

This is going to need an update to work with 1.2 and the bp-default theme. The files have changed as well as the ajax makes the sort-order a little wonky.

An update for 1.2 is coming soon. :)
