Hello,
I am trying to get the default component that shows on a members profile to show the “blogs” or “site-tracker” page.

I am using:
define ( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘sites’ );
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘sites’ );

Its not working.

Thanx

Which version of BuddyPress are you using?

[@islandcastaway Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

1.5

So is this a known issue that should be submitted?

I have tried:
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘blogs’ );
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘site-tracker’ );
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘sites’ );

BuddyPress 1.5 created pages for your directory pages.

In the WP dashboard, navigate to “Pages”, and try and find a page that says “Sites” or “Blogs” or whatever your blog directory is called. Rename the page slug to ‘sites’.

Then in your bp-custom.php file, use:
`define( “BP_BLOGS_SLUG”, “sites” );
define( “BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “sites” );`

Hello,
I used the manual config pages option and the slug is already “sites”.

in the 1.5 codex it states to place:

define ( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘sites’ );
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘sites’ );

in wp-config.

which is correct?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 13 years, 3 months ago]

Hi,

You’re correct; you should add both defines in wp-config.php.

Does that work?

[@islandcastaway Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

No, that is where i started.

I added:
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘sites’ );

to bp-custom and now it does.

so the page https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ is incorrect.

I currently have:

define( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘clients’ );
define ( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘sites’ );
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘sites’ );

//define ( ‘BP_IGNORE_DEPRECATED’, true );
//define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

//define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );
define( ‘BP_SILENCE_THEME_NOTICE’, true );
//define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true );
define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );

in wp-config. all seem to work accept the default profile page.

Will update the codex article now.
Thanks for debugging and posting your thoughts. I use bp-custom.php myself for any custom slug settings.
