BuddyPress.org

I created the forums page and what happens is it first directs me to the forums page but immediately i am redirected to the home page

@theoptimystic Did you install sitewide and/or group forums? What’s in your Settings > Forums – Archive Slug – Forums Base? Is it “forums” like the page title “Forums” and the slug below the page title “forums”?…[Read more]

@shanebp Thank you for your patience, ‘expert developer’ 😀

@wordbuddypress from what BP version did you upgrade? What theme are you using?

RE: screenshot of a title
That is the “Create a Group” button that shows up beside the page title of the Groups Directory page, not exactly about the username you mentioned earlier. Could you clarify what you need to address in your post above?

@joe35 your theme is using an older version jQuery 1.4.2 while BP is using jQuery 1.8.3. Note that upcoming WP 3.6 will be using jQuery 1.9.1

@caspergrimaldi missed that. You can edit the Name of “Name (Primary)(Required)” field by clicking on the Edit link of that field.

@modemlooper Working on a few things.

@shirleyl open up your theme’s full-width page template and save as buddypress.php and upload this file to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/yourthemename/

Do the same for bbPress, create a new file bbpress.php from full-width theme template and upload same to theme folder in server.

Know that the full-width with apply to all BP and…[Read more]

@caspergrimaldi go to admin dashboard menu Users > Profile Fields
Click on Edit Group Link
change “Base” name to what you want

Easiest way, add this to your stylesheet
div.item-meta {
display: none !important;
}

On my Server is the newest PHP Version.

@serververwaltung and what is your PHP version? Have you tried setting avatars using the BP Default theme to check whether it’s a theme JS/CSS issue? Do you see any other errors aside from what you posted? Have you tried deactivating plugins except BuddyPress to check for plugin conflict/s?
EDIT – Can you…[Read more]

@marjwyatt I know it’s FUNCTIONAL issue. If you cannot use “Add Friend” using Twenty Twelve which we tested with BP 1.7 Theme Compatibility (no BP Template Pack plugin needed), then there’s a conflict with a plugin. I think it could be the Wishlist Member plugin, because nothing in BP codes require members to be administrators to add/accept…[Read more]

Buddypress compatibility: v1.2.1

@marjwyatt Saw the source code and you’re using the BP Template Pack plugin which should no longer be used with BP 1.7 as it can interfere with new default Theme Compatibility with most WP themes.

Theme base: Genesis with Custom Theme

Having mentioned BP’s default Theme Compat in BP 1.7, Please confirm with…[Read more]

And I notice that the pages for forums and registration don’t work.

Did you enable Registration in Settings > General? If you did, did you check Settings > BuddyPress > Pages to see if a page for Registration is associated with the Registration dropdown and saved?

I don’t understand the bbpress thing. Am I supposed to have that too if I want for…

better to install bbpress using FTP. I can do it either way, but I’d prefer to do it through BuddyPress

@ldjautobody Recommend that you install BuddyPress first. That way, after you install bbPress plugin via Plugins > Add New, you can activate BP group forums (if you want) in Settings > Forums . h…[Read more]

@hiboy Strange. If BuddyPress is activated, you should have what I posted above at the bottom of the page Settings > Forums. Have you tried re-uploading bbPress and BuddyPress plugins manually i.e., s/FTP or cpanel?

@hiboy just to be clear, did you upgrade from previous BuddyPress version with the old group forum installed OR is this a new install on WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.7.2? If this is a new install, then just go to admin dashboard menu Settings > Forums and go to the bottom of that page and uncheck “Enable Group Forums”

i think i did this by just not displaying the comment buttons in the activity stream … something like that.

@dainismichel go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings – Activity Streams and check “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?”

There’s https://wordpress.org/plugins/external-group-blogs/ but not sure if it’s working on latest BP. If you’re going to hire a programmer, might as well have them work on updating/customizing the external group blogs plugin, up to you though.

@mookmik is your issue about not being able to delete an image via BuddyPress Media? If so, have you posted in their support forums?
