You may have updated wp-config.php, but group forums uses bb-config.php.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 8 months ago]

No, this site hasn’t duplicated the groups component. It’s basically a bunch of IFs in the template code, and one action early on in the load process. In theory duplicating a component should work but I’ve never tried it.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Not sure what you mean by ‘group requirements’?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Akismet works on a string of text which it decides if it’s spam or not. I’m not sure how to do that meaningfully from a registration form.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Uh. Is pagename intentionally commented out in that example ?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Not out of the box.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Look in your web server’s error log (or ask your host to do that for you ).

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Functions.php is too late. Use bp-custom.php or wp-config.php.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

No link?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Have those users logged in to your site since you’ve installed BuddyPress? If they are new user accounts, they’ll need to have activated their account as well (they should have got an email with a link).

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Group Forums still work fine. We’re using them on this very site, for example. I don’t have a date for 1.6 yet. Beta soon.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

It’s not an easy problem. If you’ve got any good ideas, then we’re listening.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

A vaguely related group invite issue was addressed in BP 1.5.4. I suggest you upgrade asap and see if the problem goes away.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Patches welcome.

Just put it into the 1.5 branch code for the next 1.5.x release; thanks for flagging it

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3751

Fixed for the upcoming 1.6 release. Will see about getting into a 1.5.x release.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

I’m 110% certain the cause will not be BuddyPress, simply because we never remove any content from it. Further speculation is baseless at this point.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Thanks for your comments.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Did we link to the old URL somewhere? Do we need to change something? If it’s on the codex, anyone can go in and edit it.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

If for some reason it’s not showing up inside the WordPress plugins page, go into your web server (FTP or SSH) into the wp-content/plugins/ folder. Rename “buddypress” to “old-BuddyPress”. Then download BP manually from WordPress.org/extend/plugins, unzip, and upload into a new /buddypress directory in the same place.

Take lots of backups first, including database backups.

Another place to check is the ‘network admin’ plugins page if you’re using multisite.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

Wow, that’s not good. Hope you had a good backup. Let us know if your investigations point anything towards BuddyPress.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

If it’s giving a white page, it’s a PHP error somewhere. Look in your web server’s error log for information; if it doesn’t make any sense, let us know what the PHP errors are. If you don’t know how to find your error log, ask your web host for help.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

bbPress (any version) is a forum, right? Just like what we’re using to talk over now.

BuddyPress is a social network layer for your WordPress site. The pictures on the front page list its features https://buddypress.org/

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

That might be bp_search_form_type_select(). Check out that function; suggest you use the ‘bp_search_form_type_select_options’ filter.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 9 months ago]

It ought to not happen. Uh.

They aren’t sharing IDs or any identifiers in the code? (not HTML IDs?)
