Did a quick search and some users experienced a similar issue hosting on Windows – issue with mod_rewrite.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/activation-code-after-new-member-registration/
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/welcome-pack/forum/topic/welcome-pack-problem-with-activation-key-s/It’s still not clear to me what happens when the activation link is clicked.
Does the page load? White screen? 404? I think those details would help diagnose.
Haven’t looked, where can I find the error logs?
Depends on your hosting service. Usually found in Control Panel or Plesk or in root folder.
But you didn’t mention whether anything is shown on screen when the activation link is clicked.
You might also want to verify that your hosting meets the minimum requirements if you haven’t already. No idea if that’s what’s causing your issue but can’t hurt to check.
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
https://buddypress.org/about/requirements/It’s always easiest to troubleshoot core functionality (new users, new forum posts, new groups, upload avatar, new blog posts, etc.) before you start adding plugins or customizing anything. If you come up empty in error logs, I’d recommend a clean install so that you can better troubleshoot the issue. Otherwise, you might end up chasing your tail.
Is there any message shown on screen or in error logs when you attempt to activate?
Were you ever able to activate a user on your install before now?
Are you using the bp-default theme?
It might also be worth setting up a completely new and clean WP/BP install in the same hosting environment to troubleshoot.
I am not saying to jump the gun and make every single Profile field either view-able or not depending on friendship. Just a simple choice to display or not to display your profile to people you are not friends with.
Have you checked out the trunk for BP 1.6 lately? https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk
You’ll be pleasantly surprised. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5789 for example.
all members should have to be logged first before even given the option to view another members profile, maybe a landing page integration built into BuddyPress core that redirects any visitor the the landing page when attempting to view any post or page on the site.
That’s different and already possible with a couple lines of code.
There are different ways to do this.
Do you have a bp-custom.php file in your plugins directory?
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/If so, try adding this to it:
`// Redirect logged out users viewing homepage to register page.
function custom_redirect_home_to_register() {
global $bp;// If user is not logged in and viewing front page
if (!is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_front_page() ) {
// Redirect to registration page. Change /register to your register page slug
bp_core_redirect( get_option(‘home’) . ‘/register’ );
}
}add_action( ‘wp’, ‘custom_redirect_home_to_register’, 3 );`
If not, create the file and include an opening php tag before adding that code. This uses basic conditionals and can be customized however you’d like.
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/
`bp_is_register_page()`
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/
Create a custom.css file if you haven’t already, and enable the custom.css option in “Appearance > Theme Options”. Upload your logo to the server – I’d create a folder in the theme for this, something like “custom-images” or whatever. Then use a CSS image replacement technique referencing that logo/image in your CSS.
If you’re using a custom primary navigation menu, this new plugin will help you with the My Account links – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-profile-menu/
If your CSS is messed up, make sure the ids and classes are consistent with the other menu items.
No idea about notifications.
In your dashboard, go to “Settings > Reading”.
This link should take you straight to that page if you’re already logged in:
http://www.pressstartgamers.com/wp-admin/options-reading.phpThen under “Front page displays” option, select the option that says “a static page” and select the page you want on the front. Maybe “Activity” would be good. Or create a new page in the backend and then come back to the reading settings page and select it.
Nice theme by the way!
FYI – The theme is now available in the WordPress Theme Directory. This thread was quite long, so I’ve started a new one and maybe this thread can be closed now.
@KylieSocial I’d recommend creating a `custom.css` file and then using a basic CSS image replacement technique. http://css-tricks.com/630-css-image-replacement/
Good stuff, @nosoura
Glad you like it.
The theme should not break any jquery. It looks like you’re using a boatload of plugins – I’m guessing one of those could be interfering.
Try deactivating plugins one by one to troubleshoot. Or try reverting to bp-default temporarily.
I will be posting another entry about this, but the theme was just published in the WordPress Theme directory – https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/frisco-for-buddypress
I’ve already fixed a few bugs since that initial version was uploaded. The newest version is currently under review and should be available soon. See https://github.com/davidtcarson/frisco or https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5497 for the latest.
Add `define(‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true);` to your `wp-config.php` file just above where it says “That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.”
`What about commercial projects, will you consider a paid version with support and updates so that it’s attractive as a long term solution for BuddyPress projects?`
At this point, no. I’ll consider it if there is enough interest.
@angslycke Yes, 100% free. It has been submitted to the WP theme repository and should be available soon. I will post another message once that’s up. The version submitted to the repository has some minor updates from the github version currently available. So it’s a good idea to wait for the theme repository version for a live site.
Just a follow up. I created a network on my local install just to test out multi-site functionality with site-tracking and it worked the same as a regular install. No problems experienced.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what you mean with the local and dev sites. Are they both running the latest trunk? (or at least something after the issue was fixed on August 11th)
I just tested the site tracking component using the latest trunk and it’s working perfectly for me. With site tracking on, blog posts and their comments show up in the activity feed. With site tracking off, they do not show up in the activity feed.
@pjnu I’m pretty sure I just did. If you’re not comfortable using the latest BP trunk or consistently updating the theme, I’d suggest waiting for BP 1.5 to be released and then download the theme from the WordPress theme repository as soon as it’s available.
The default theme in 1.5 still has that option. You can always activate the default theme to see that option.
But it’s possible that the child theme you are using does not support that option.
Are you making your own child theme? Or are you using something else?
This has been fixed since BP 1.5b2 was released.
See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3445 and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4965
Go to “Dashboard > Appearance > Menus” (/wp-admin/nav-menus.php).
Create your menu. Upon saving the new menu, you should see a box appear in the upper left corner called “Theme Locations” and you’ll have the option to select the menu you just created for “Primary Navigation”.
@pjnu To use the theme prior the official BuddyPress 1.5 release, you must consistently update both BuddyPress (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk) and Frisco (https://github.com/davidtcarson/frisco).
The BuddyPress team is making updates everyday to BuddyPress 1.5. And I am making updates almost every day to the theme. If your BuddyPress version has not been updated or the theme has not been updated, you should expect to see strange results.
This will all settle down once BuddyPress 1.5 is released and Frisco theme is in the WordPress theme repository.
@pjnu What version of BuddyPress and WordPress are you using?
“Frisco requires BuddyPress 1.5 and WordPress 3.2.1 or 3.3 (nightly build).”
If anyone can help test browser compatibility for this theme, especially IE 7/8/9, I’d be very grateful. You can report issues here or on GitHub at https://github.com/davidtcarson/frisco/issues
P.S. I’m pinging you @InterMike just to make sure you get notified about my last post with theme options info and custom.css usage. … I messed up your username in that post so you probably didn’t receive notification.
