not even sure how to use it yet

@ziva777 BP Codex is your friend.

AS for the BP Component links in your main menu, use the custom menu in your WP theme and add whichever links you want to main menu.

@myironlung3 Switch to Twenty Twelve theme and check if BP content is showing up. The issue ight be that the theme is using proprietary templating system so it’s not rendering BP content. Have you contacted theme developer for assistance in getting the_title and the_content working in your buddypress.php file? Could be that just using the template…[Read more]

@bloodveil there are gallery/media plugins for Buddypress such as
Free: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
Premium: http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/

any registered if logged in, can’t see activity streams

@rajeev-jain very strange. As mentioned above, backup database. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and change to Twenty Twelve theme. Clear cache. Check if you can view Activity Streams now. If ues, then activate the Magazine theme and check Activity Stream. If all is g…[Read more]

@rajeev-jain So to be clear, you cannot see you Activity Stream pages when you’re logged in? I can see it fine. You should be able to deactivate the BP plugins except BuddyPress and social login plugin without any issues. Back up database first if you’re unsure so you can revert to old database if there’s any problem.

To avoid stressful upgrades…[Read more]

@doollard just to be clear, BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin, and so BP uses the same database as your WP installation. Therefore:
– You can install BP in your first WP installation where you used DB prefix wp11_
– You can also install BP in your second WP installation where you used prefix bp77_

Now if you mean that you want to run one WP/BP…[Read more]

@alex4red just add the following to your theme’s functions.php file.

// Begone BP Admin Bar Style
remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_load_admin_bar_css’, 12 );

@louieknows so you’re good to go now, right? 🙂

@faramarz We’re aware of that. Changes being made in the backend.
Thank you for your patience.

@louieknows most WordPress themes have custom menus where you can add any page menu yourself. What theme are you using?

@bloodveil Thanks for clarifying what you meant. Site Admins posting in BP forums are looking for front-end solutions e.g. http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/ to prevent users from accessing/going to the wp-admin area at all. So your post was unexpected 🙂

Populating the dashboard with posts of friends is not an easy task and would require…[Read more]

@doollard something’s getting lost in translation.

– By “database wp11”, do you mean your database prefix is wp11?
– WP/BP versions? bb-config.php is old school BP internal forums. Are you trying upgrade to latest WP/BP versions?
– Confused with “buddypress install the database bp77” and with a few lines after “but buddypress in the database…[Read more]

@rajeev-jain As you know, the Administrator should be able to see everything in the site. Have you gone through any basic troubleshooting like deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress? Did you make any revisions to BuddyPress core files?

@cts_ae WP/BP versions? New install or upgraded to BP 1.8? What theme are you using? Plugins installed?

@jloc14 just to be clear, you should have these files https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8/bp-themes/bp-default inside the bp-default theme folder in your server. If you don’t see all those folders and files, then re-upload BuddyPress manually, i.e., via s/FTP.

If you have child theme of the BP Default theme, then you should…[Read more]

Deactivate BuddyPress and other plugins. Can your members register now?

@jloc14 so do you see the bp-default theme folder in server now? If so, you’re good to go

@blastblast see how https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+create+a+development+site+wordpress

Testing/upgrading WP or plugins in a dev (development) site is less stressful than testing/upgrading WP or plugins on production/live site especially when you have a BP site 🙂
