We can’t see what that file parses and outputs! It looks as though there is no structure?

So do a number of those function calls describe markup structure? You will need to look at them and edit or copy where necessary; however you shouldn’t really be having an issue? you view the generated output of an index.php or page.php and match that to a buddypress page and ensure that the BP page matches to your themes. What structure does the file above generate? it should match to the other pages in your theme and is the structure that your BP pages need to duplicate.

It’s a well known and long standing issue.

You might want to inquire of your hosts support why this is happening as it’s not that desirable on a member login site

`503: Service Temporarily Unavailable
Too many IP addresses accessing one secure area!
Please contact Support if you require assistance.`

As for the issue this is simply one where you need to get stuck into the CSS it’s the job of the front-end developer to ensure cross browser compat and there are no plugins that will do this for you, as you are a web developer I guess this falls down to you however I see you have actually used a pre built theme ‘buddyboss’ so you might want to speak to the authors and see if there’s a fix they can provide.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

For clarity and referring back to your first post; bbPress in respect of BuddyPress is an integrated app you don’t install it separately it is part of the forums and simply needs setting up from the BP admin section of the dashboard, installing standalone bbPress will not work with BP forums in the integrated sense. bbPress plugin is a separate issue and is in beta release and at initial release won’t integrate with BP forums so you can likely ignore the plugin version for the moment.

Have to admit I can’t get it to work on 1.2.8 / 3.1

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Remember that Buddypress is in essence simply a plugin that requires a WP install to run on thus you have a blog the main WP blog, there is no option as such for it it exists either on the front page or as mercime points out is moved to another page in the static front page scenario.

We’re not concerned with the applied styles but with the markup, is the #sidebar being flowed after the #left-col has closed?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

An excellent point to highlight, Plugins should really not be doing this it’s pretty poor.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Have you checked whether your server can send emails? Have your users checked their spam boxes? They ought to be receiving an email with an activation link.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Why would you need a plugin? It’s a simple one line piece of code that is added to the head of the document, and google will throw up a hundred guides on how to add one, if you haven’t the graphics tools to create the correct file format then the link suggested above is the answer.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

And did you read what I wrote and try adjusting according to my suggestion?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

They will as long as you have set your dns records correctly.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Think this is better taken over to the more appropriate WP forums.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

This is really more a WP issue than a BP one and you may get better advice and help on the WP forums.

When you uploaded your DB from development what did you do about any set urls/ rewrite rules in the DB have you had a look through the tables? Is your .htaccess file looking in order?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

15 minutes to write a one line sentence

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

How do you mean seriously? they are not obliged to do anything really , they already provide hosting for the site and trac/svn they designate one of their team to work – I think exclusively – on .org sites, BuddyPress, and bbPress. They are not strictly obliged to do any of this remember

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Looking at that page I can see straight away that #sidebar is nested inside #left-column, compare that to one of your non BP pages e.g index.php or page.php and you’ll see the difference, always compare a non bp with a bp to see how the structure needs to run and obviously the BP pages must follow the structure of your themes WP files. #sidebar must come after you have closed the left-column as each is floated left and right respectively.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

The three core devs are working as much as time allows them, and others are helping where possible to test and feedback, create patches where needed.

1.3 should be approaching a RC stage pretty soon hopefully, but the core devs will be able to give a better estimate of that time.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

@DJPaul spoilsport :p

@vegasparty607 erm yes and that link is to an American educational resource! try looking up a general one and you will find that there are exceptions and differences to the use or not of a comma and ‘and’

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

No not necessarily – he said once again

Look it up or am I being rude and in fact you’re an English teacher in which case I’ll shut up

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Not necessarily. In what version of English do you write? The tendency to add the comma before the word ‘and’ is, as far as I recall, an Americanism; in English English you wouldn’t have the last comma the ‘and’ makes it redundant.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

yes public_html is your web root, public files are served from that point down nothing above that (you should see one level above when you ftp in with this folder and cgi bin and perhaps log files folder) is accessible publicly and is only accessed by the server or user

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Yes essentialy. I would do a fresh install regardless, get WP set up configure it, ensure permalinks are working correctly, and emails being sent, when WP is set up and working correctly upload the BP plugin, activate that check it functions correctly, then select your theme from the dashboard appearence>themes and activate that and check it’s correct after all that install your other plugins. You could still at any point after installing WP import you local DB and overwrite the existing one and have all your pre-set options re-created but you will need to edit the site url -probably!

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

All you need to do then is upload these files to the sites web directory, the logo you will likely need to re-upload once you have things all set up.
