Yessssss! Thanks @andrewteg! I was seriously beginning to think I dreamed the whole thing up…not sure why I could not find this page, but that is EXACTLY where I was.

Now, since I have found what I was looking for, I’d really like to get some opinions of the plugin and see if this will actually do what I am planning for this site. I am open…[Read more]

Hi guys…I am a little upset with myself as last evening, very late, I somehow ran across someone talking about group blogs in Buddy Press and got off track…as usually happens when I start reading all this great stuff! But, I somehow stumbled on a blog by S. Brahesh when he had first introduced a plugin called “BuddyBlog”. I was so interested…[Read more]

After using the codex info from both BuddyPress and bbPress, I want to make sure that our “Forum Rules and Policies” stay in front of ALL OTHER activities. In other words, when a user click on either the “Forums” page OR the “Groups” page, I would want the RULES & POLICIES to be the first thing they see before doing any posting. I think I made…[Read more]

Why not add the “BuddyBlog” plugin and give your members the opportunity to blog! It’s a great “free plugin”…I am going to add it to our own site shortly. We are in the process of creating a brand new site right now and it’s not ready to launch yet, but we are planning on including it in our site.

Since I have not used the plugin myself, I…[Read more]

@marathifacebook and @mercime, just an FYI regarding the “Facebook” issue. If you Google that topic, you will see that “Facebook” is no longer required to “sue” you, they will simply have the domain taken down, similar to the lawsuit won by “Craig’s List” which also won the right to do the same. They will not even give consideration to…[Read more]

ldjautobody replied to the topic [Resolved] BP 1.7.2 wp-signup.php does not open and redirects to main page in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 11 years, 5 months ago

I had the exact same problem…if you are already logged in, the site redirects to the home page…or whatever page you have designated as the “home” page. It does this so that previously registered users do not get directed to the registration page. Pretty good idea actually! Anyway…log out and access the site and it will take you to the…[Read more]

Thanks @henrywright-1,

That makes sense too. Actually, it was not set to the homepage, but I WAS logged in already and that’s why it would not take me to registration. I tried logging out and going back to it and if you click on the Registration tab, it does take you to the registration page.

Thanks Henry and everyone for all your help! 🙂

Hi everyone,

I didn’t want to include this in my last topic as it is really doesn’t relate in any way. My question is…does anyone have any suggestions for writing “Forum Rules”? Is there like a “standard” rules template that one could modify to better accommodate your site?

I want to create a set of “professionally” designed rules and I also…[Read more]

Hello my BuddyPress and bbPress gurus! Hope everyone is having a great week. The support you guys do is awesome…don’t know what I’d do without you. And, hat’s off to the folks that did the great Documentation too…it is one of the best I’ve seen.

I am in the process of setting up our new forums and groups and so far, things are going fairly…[Read more]

@bphelp, Wow and thank you for the awesome tutorial. This is perfect! I was actually using the original site I put up as a tempsite until I had the whole Buddy Press and bbpress thing figured out. I am in the process now of building our new site which will up be and running shortly.

Hi again,

While I am here, I wanted to ask someone what the best way to set up registration for BuddyPress is. In other words, where should I put the registration link? I have seen lots of people that use a widget in the sidebar, or also a nice little link up at the top of the page.

What is the BEST way to show the Registration link in your…[Read more]

Hi guys…well, I installed Buddy Press AND BBpress and I am trying to set up my forum pages. I have set up a single forum and no matter how I try, I can’t get the “Forum” to show up in my menu. I have tried creating a menu item that points to the actual “forum” itself, but it returns with “page not found”. You can see the site at…[Read more]

@mercime Hi! Thanks for the link and the advice! It is certainly appreciated. I have been using WordPress now for about 2 years…but I’m no expert by any means, but in the last 2 years I’ve really learned a lot and I really enjoy working with WordPress. I’m sure that BuddyPress and bbpress will be just as challenging and just as much fun to…[Read more]

I absolutely refuse to have it any other way! 🙂

ldjautobody replied to the topic Difference between Buddy Press and BBpress? Anyone? in the forum Miscellaneous 11 years, 6 months ago

@ubernaut Thanks for the encouragement! Part of the reason I am thinking that this will work for this particular site is that most of the users there are very engaged just through the comments. I think it is a great site for us to start with and get our feet wet with BuddyPress because of the amount of existing engagement. These guys are serious…[Read more]

ldjautobody replied to the topic Difference between Buddy Press and BBpress? Anyone? in the forum Miscellaneous 11 years, 6 months ago

Thanks again @ubernaut. I think I read something similar awhile back stating that is was better to install bbpress using FTP. I can do it either way, but I’d prefer to do it through BuddyPress so I’ll try that first and see what happens. We’ve backed everything on the site up, so if something goes “awry”…we’ll be ready for it! LOL

One more question! Sorry! It was an “afterthought”! LOL
Is there ANY order in which to install BuddyPress and bbpress? In other words, should we install one before the other? Right now, we have neither one installed and need both social networking AND forum capabilities.

Again, thanks in advance for any help. This site and the support forums…[Read more]

Thanks @ubernaut! That is the information that I wanted to hear. I appreciate the quick response too. Now…I actually have another question. I have heard that the new BuddyPress version is compatible with most WP themes whereas previously, it was not. Is it possible to use BuddyPress and BBpress together on an existing WP installation? Or…[Read more]

Hi,

I am in the process of trying to decide what to launch on a small website we are doing that is basically for custom car and motorcycle enthusiasts. I have been reading about Buddy Press and like what I see, but can anyone tell me what exactly is the difference between Buddy Press dot org. and BBpress?
