If you have just installed BP did you not then follow the setup steps?
If you didn’t do, if you did and the pages do not exist create the pages manually then go back to the bp settings page and associate them.
In reply to: Blank “pages” after installYou don’t read those pages they are simply placeholders for BP, it uses their existence in forming it’s path to the required BP page. You do not do anything with these pages, do not edit or add anything – necessarily – to the page.
All, technically, you need to is associate your pages and BP does the rest.
You might need to visit the permalinks page to flush the permalinks cache – shouldn’t really need to but doesn’t hurt – and you have definitely set permalinks to anything other than the default as BP prompts you to? BP does not work with standard permalink structure must be one of the month or day structures or custom.
In reply to: Blank “pages” after installIf the pages weren’t created (no reason they shouldn’t have been) create them manually as you would any WP page then head back to BP settings and tell it what pages you want it to associate.
In reply to: Major Install Problems with BuddyPressRename the buddypress plugin folder, this effectively disables BP and will allow you back in. You error message is teling you that you have insufficient script memory, check with your web host to see if you can get your memory raised, also check the WP codex on this matter as it details various actions you can take in addition to contacting/getting your host to adjust things.
No look at the links closely the files are in the package, have a look at what ever version you currently have installed.

In reply to: 1.7 theme definedAs Mercime says I would not get to fixated on things too much yet, thing can and will change and naming conventions are yet to be established, the main concern was to simply have something that approached the WP template hierarchy system in the ease of overloading files by appending slugs and as can be seen in bbPress.
Without this ability it was going to prove awkward to create custom views as every BP screen/component injected into one sinle parent wrapper – page.php initially- and one would have had to start adding a lot of conditional logic to one single file in order to do something simple like lose the sidebar on a given screen.
why is it ridiculous? I wouldn’t want someone changing my details I would in fact be quite angry about it!
Install a user switching plugin then as admin you can switch to any user and edit the profile details.
In reply to: Going full-widthAll depends on the theme, look at the page browser view source or use firebug to see what classes are on the body tag then choose one specific to that page then you’ll do something like .someclass #content (width: auto;} just after the rule that is setting the width or margin you need to remove.
In reply to: Going full-widthno not alter the body class , BP adds class tokens to the body class attribute to specify what screen your on so that you can write specific rules to target a particular page only.
No good looking at the file things like body classes are parsed by php so you don’t see them until your browser requests a page and the server sends it , so you need to look at your browser source code view for a page to see those classes generated.
In reply to: Going full-widthYep, CSS is what manages visual layouts in web development.
If you remove the sidebars on a selective basis you can use the body classes to specify rulesets to overwrite existing ones, check the body classes when you are viewing a specific screen and you’ll see that they generate tokens according to the page view.
| bbPress gets that “for free” because it uses custom post types
Yep that’s why I cited that as a somewhat unfair example, beginning to wonder whether it wouldn’t have been better to bite the bullet and take BP all the way rather than a two stage process for templating, but even a hackish workaround as Roger suggests might be better than nothing? for the moment, until BP can realise CPT’s in all their Glory.
In reply to: [Resolved] Forums page blankDon’t know what have you tried by way of debugging this issue , always helps on tech forums to state what you have tried so people aren’t suggesting things already covered.
Are forums enabled? if so what type group or sitewide.
In reply to: Going full-widththat’s the sidebar in members/single/home.php you could just try removing it or if you want to have it on some screens but not others you could wrap it in conditional check for the current page action. check the BP codex as you’ll find a lot of info there on how to achieve things like this and a list of the conditional tags you might use.
In reply to: Expected release of BP 1.7?You sure modemlooper? As a few months is a long time and it was mentioned early on that people would be surprised at how quick a release cycle this one would be.
hmm ok this isn’t perhaps a fair example, but illustrates the ease with which I can do what I need in bbPress:
We have a template part ‘content-archive-forum’ do nothing and this template part injects into page.php. I can overload the template part dragging it into the theme modify and still have it inject into page,php – however now I have a different requirement page,php is no longer suitable but I can create a new template in theme root archive-forum.php and use that to call the appropriate template_part ‘content-archive-forum’ /forums/ now finds that template rather than page.php.
As I say though not perhaps best example.
Ideal is , I think, beyond the scope of what BP is able to achieve at the moment and I guess would be encapsulated in the approach and methodology that bbPress has now. I suppose in an ideal world I had hopped that I would or could do page-members.php but things aren’t that straightforward when dealing with accounts/profile screens. On a recent project there was a requirement for a new front.php for single groups, in that scenario I didn’t want or need a sidebar simple enough to remove from my new template, but now that becomes a tad harder? so i would need to start finding means of testing what components/actions were in effect, which I can see getting very messy.
`bp_get_query_template()` filtering sounds like a bad approach really, overly complex for what is a relatively trivial requirement when talking about customizing templates for frontend coding.
Yep so my original hypothesis stands, and actually Roger and I were discussing much the same requirement, which prompted the question he posed, feel as there are issues lying dormant here but have to play around far more than I’ve had the opportunity to thus far.
But r-a-y that would mean we end up using one file that has to do all the work? Means a lot of querying and conditional testing in one file doesn’t it? If I want a specific look for a user account screen action I would have to test for the action load a template_part which I would have to fashion from the existing member/single/ file but then also start having to consider the same main framework file is handling all views for BP or am I over thinking this?
In reply to: Emergency! My group navigation bar has disappeared…I would suggest you diasable all non essential plgins and possibly revert to the default BP theme to check things as you have a heavily moded site with plugins at worl and group slugs changed which might well be an issue.
Why can they not be part of the ‘Base’ group ad thus part of the initial signup?
If a case of not wanting to have too many signup fields – a bad thing – then best I can think of is you would need to create a function that checks on one of those extended profile fields or all of them against the loggedin_user_id and if any returned an empty value then run a redirect to the users profile edit screen with a message request to complete the mandatory required fields on that page.
In reply to: [Resolved] Print user id in profile pageWell that’s the way to do it, no need to re-state you ‘wanna show’ it on user profile we got that bit, what did you do wrong then? how about adding a little detail like code you tried , template you tried it in, if you come to forums for help you must be prepared to provide a little bit of information so people can actually help you.
Oh and you did try echoing the function didn’t you?
In reply to: [Resolved] Getting BP Repair MessageThe clue is in the message ‘pages’, ‘associated’ and the tab in BP settings ‘pages’ that says please associate a page to the named component and provides a dropdown selection of your pages existing. You need to associate a page to component if you haven’t got any create empty pages with simply a title i.e ‘members’, ‘activity’ etc.
In reply to: [resolved] Failed During WizzardUpgrade your WP install and always check the docs to see what versions work with what or require a specific version.
wp_get_theme() ( Since: 3.4.0 ) is a recent function and the BP version you are trying to run uses it thus is not a suitable version for older WP versions.
Rule of thumb always try and run the latest WP version so that your are current with security fixes more than anything but also to get new features/improvements but check first that BP is also updated and ok to run with latest WP first.
