Paul,

I set up a 2nd group forum tonight. After entering “Groups”, I can see, enter, and post in both of the group forums that I have created. Comments are working in the group forums.

I only get the message “The forums component has not been set up yet.” within a red border when I enter “Forums”.

Sooo, how do I provide for 904 agents that might want to make an entry within forums? We had a vision for opening up our forums to public comments, thus the selection of statewide forums.

Thanks again for your help and advice.

@mercime,

I’ve verified that the BP files on our BlueHost server are in agreement with the table published following step 5 of the activation wizard outline.

Given this fact, do you suppose I might have a good BP install and simply need to work through the Genesis Child Theme tempate issues to get a good presentation outcome for BP?

Genesis Connect claims to make changes in the way log ins are handled and reports in the Genesis Connect support forum as follows:

**************Quote
Actually, GC *does* offer extra functionality, in addition to the required templates I mentioned in the other thread.

Custom registration llink to stop spammers, support for Simple Menus and Simple Sidebars, so you can have different menus and/or sidebars on the BuddyPress pages, and showing whether the user is logged in or not.

I’ve attached an image of the Settings page for GC.

If you do try out the BP template pack, be aware it physically places files and folders in your child theme. They *must* be removed before you use GenesisConnect, becasue they will override the plugin. ************* End of quote

In my case,support at StudioPress believes that a re-install may not be required.

Thanks for your further review. I’ll appreciate any further thoughts you might offer.

@mercime,

WP installation and BP installation is about 6 weeks old. A consultant backed out of an attemped BP install and then installed Simple Press. That experiment did not turn out well at all. I deactivated and uninstalled SimplePress last week and started the BP install after full updates of WP and all plugins. Last step before BP was the install of Genesis Connect. After the BP install came on screen WITH the wizard displayed, I was interrupted for about 3 hours. An attempt to recover the Firefox screen was not successful. I am now using Panorama Tab Grouping to good effect with Sessions Manager.
I doubt I lose a screen in the future.

Thanks so much for your help. I worked at the office until 8:30 PM EDST. Thanks for your late work, too. I’ll try your approaches tomorrow. I appreciate your advice!

@mercime,

Thank you so much for your response. I read some of your insightful comments and thought about writing you a PM earlier today. I did not in order to respect your time.

I’m using WP 3.1.1,Genesis 1.8 and Genesis Connect 1.1 with an AgentPress v 1.0 Child Theme. It turns out I thought it through and followed your advice on my own, though I didn’t do all the manual code deletions.
Upon re-install, I still didn’t get the wizard to display or launch. Accordingly, I followed the outline provided by the link and completed the process manually.

At this point, members are loading, activity stream is posting, and I have posted 10 forums in the group forum page.

Missing are any data or forms on the register page. Activate ask for an activation key that I assume comes from an email. I don’t know how to create the log in for the register page????

Should I update to AgentPress 2.0 as a possible solution.

Thanks for any further help you may be kind enough to offer.

Mike
