Try resaving your permalinks as something other than default.

And/or check your .htaccess file in the website root directory (where wp-config.php is) for a block like the following:
`
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress
`

If you go to your ‘groups’ tab ( ie: http://example.com/groups/ ) there should be a button next to the Groups Directory header labelled Create a Group Clicking on that leads to the Create a Group section (ie: http://example.com/groups/create/step/group-details/ ) …

i meant `wp-config.php`

[@aces Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Look in your .htaccess file in your main directory (where wpconfig.php is) for the appropriate block… something like:
`
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Some web hosts need wordpress to use an extra plugin to send mail, such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

Some hosts require an extra plugin for wordpress email to work….

I have used https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ successfully, but thereare others…

I had the same problem with the wordpress admin menus in ie9 and online (linux) sites but not on local (vista) sites. Once I viewed and played with the menus in firefox they worked as expected in ie9…. I hope others using the same sites would not have to go through the same process…

Also the buddypress upgrade didn’t show up unless I ran add new plugins first….

[@aces Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

I had that problem….

I updated by ‘adding new’ plugin and searching for ‘buddypress’. Updated from there….

[@aces Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

which one?

on the wordpress plugins page?

[@aces Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

By the looks of it the theme isn’t compatible with buddypress. A link would have helped but I suspect it might be http://themeforest.net/item/traject-wordpress-portfolio-and-business-theme/116671 ?

You may be able to convert it yourself using the buddypress template pack ….

Derived from the above link, I use the following in a bp-custom.php file to exclude users that are not logged in from seeing the activity or members areas.

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .'/'. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( 'get_header', 'sh_walled_garden' );

In bp-custom.php the above needs to be placed in a plain text file with “ at the end of the file….

Try looking at the page with firefox/firebug…

(You could also use developer tools built into internet explorer 8/9 – other browsers have similar tools)

In the theme’s `style.css` – in the section after line 2347 `#access {` it has the following line: `margin-top: 55px;`

`margin-top:100px;` might be a better setting.

You could try the technique mentioned here

but you are probably better off creating your own custom language file as described in: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

[@aces Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

How did you fix it?

[@aces Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

you didn’t say what theme you are using?

[@aces Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

are ‘pretty permalinks’ enabled?
