BuddyPress.org

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to set up a forum from the wordpress admin.

Whearas you need to go to the ‘groups’ section on your site and add a new group from there – Then you can add a forum to the group in the same process….

/* Disable the WP 3.1 Admin Bar. ( http://yoast.com/disable-wp-admin-bar/ ) */
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
in functions.php

Maybe go into the site by ftp and disable buddypress links plugin

To disable, rename the folder /buddypress-links/

That should cause wordpress to de-activate the plugin.

Once you get back into wp, you can change the directory/folder back again!

If anyone wonders what a solution is…

I targetted .single-post and .page-item-40 (40 being the news page) css classes. Apparently this is an old wordpress bug which still exists in wp 3.1rc4….

Hopefully the following link might help? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/add-a-welcome-message-to-admin-bar-instead-of-website-name/#post-87017 ?

I use a version of it though the admin menu bar is only seen by those logged in….

Well you could replace case "Who's Online Avatars": return $translations->translate( "Who's Online..." ); break; for case "Join Group": return $translations->translate( "Follow" ); break; in the example in the link but as join appears quite a lot of times in buddypress, in different combinations, it might be better just to add your…

Something like that is done by the admin bar:

/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php
around line 171

Is that what you mean?

Have you logged out?
If you click on that link (your no. 2) it will send you to homepage if logged in….

I just tried out something like that and agree that it is a secrecy leak. I am using the walled_garden technique to block non logged in users from viewing members or activity pages so they couldn’t see anything there but if logged in but without being a member of that group they can see too […]

@kenrichman

Have you tried?case "Friends <span>(%d)</span>":
return $translations->translate( "Mates <span>(%d)</span>" );
break;
Also. I have just discovered from the buddypress codex that the friends slug can be changed to match to your choice…define ( 'BP_FRIENDS_SLUG', 'peeps' );
It goes in the wp-config.php…

If the text is translatable in wordpress/buddypress you should be able to use the technique mentioned here

@faceteletv I’m trying to keep this conversation within topic here where you originally mentioned it, rather than wild in the activity stream. I’ve managed to get forums working on a 1and1 shared hosting… I don’t think any of the wp-config.php or .htaccess or php.ini tricks for increasing memory work for 1and1 shared hosting. Even if wordpress…[Read more]

@ray I think you are right about needing a better host, but it isn’t that simple… All the hosts I recently had a look at don’t publish their memory constraints in their advertising. One I know of said on the phone that their memory was effectively unlimited (and it seemed so for what I was trying […]

@r-a-y – If this is a 1and1 shared hosting memory issue then that will not help. WordPresss may report a higher memory but 1and1 servers will still be stuck at 30mb….. I would love to get round this problem myself, other than by limiting what plugins and themes etc I can run….

@faceteletv You look like you are using 1and1 shared hosting which has very low memory allowances for running buddypress….. see https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/rss-error-in-dashboard#post-88690 if you are. 1and1 have also disabled any tricks I have found that were supposed to increase memory…. They…[Read more]
