== but im not able to find a way to allow members to post a blog. ==

Not quite sure what you want;
a) users able to publish a post in (single WP site) – just make default role of those who register as “Author
OR
b) users able to create blogs and publish posts (WP multisite) – you need to create a network first https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

== rename the ‘Activity’ tab as well as the ‘Friends’ tab, how can I do this ==
Creating a language will change all instances of Activity and Friends in your site to what you want. https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

== ‘Profile’ tab automatically loads instead of the activity feed. ==
Look for Change the default tab opened when looking at a user’s profile (default is activity): -> https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

@blogurp Please create a new topic. This topic deals with BP Menus and you have an issue with BP compatibility, I will help you there.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Scott, the plugin author of restrict usernames, is a top-notch developer and I’ve used the plugin successfully in my sites. The plugin is compatible with BuddyPress. Could be conflict with another plugin and/or with theme, there are just so many variables. Have you tried deactivating other plugins except BuddyPress to test restrict usernames plugin?

@pataphor open up your theme’s header.php with a text editor, copy all code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

@trsabuis help us help you. Do provide more information about your installation. To begin with:
– WP/BP versions?
– Single/Multisite?
– Where are you hosted? Windows/Linux/etc server?
– Is this a new installation or did you add BuddyPress to an existing WP install?
– Have you changed to bp-default theme and deactivated all other plugins except BuddyPress?
– What exactly is the error in your installation? At what point did the error show up?
– What are the steps you’ve taken so far to troubleshoot the issue in your install?

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@r-a-y thank you. No more bp-template-pack questions anymore come BP 1.7, only plugin-buddypress.php ones

BP 1.7 is going to be exciting, all these new shiny features in templates and forums and all that jazz! …. Errr, what am I saying? We need to create all those new codex pages covering the new features as well, gazooks, lol.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Good point. Looks like a good trac ticket to post

In the example you posted above, however, this can already be accomplished if you have a page.php which includes a sidebar by default. When you edit the Group Directory page and choose the Full Width template, the directory page is rendered in full page. The single group pages take on the HTML structure of the theme’s default page.php which has a sidebar.

If however, you want all the BP templates to have full-width layouts for example, and have a default page.php with a sidebar, then that will be problematic …. unless you copy over the BP templates in your theme and add “, “ and “ which could include conditional statements and a different HTML structure surrounding the BP components. Of course this is theoretical since I haven’t tested it yet

EDIT – I see you’ve posted it in trac already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3741#comment:55

== ACTIVATE page and it now shows up in the PULL DOWN but does nothing? ==

This is the page where members land with auto-generated content for that specific member after they click on activation email code which is sent to theme after they register.

So on it’s own, just going to yoursite.com/activate/ you’re not expected to see anything at all on that page.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Haven’t seen this issue before. Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is resolved.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Who’s Keith?

== slam blam bloom blaaam ==

I assume that this issue has been resolved?

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@emaerchen not sure if the theme has been released. Best way to contact @travel-junkie about JobBoardr is via http://shabushabu.eu/

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Go to dashboard menu Pages > All Pages and double-check if there is indeed an Activate page listed. If not, then the installation process had a hiccup in your site.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@aikighost Did you go through the Installation Wizard after activating BuddyPress? That would have addressed page creation for the default Registration page as well as pretty permalinks required, among others. BP Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

== What do you set the Activate Pull down to? ==

The page should have been automatically created if you went through the Installation Wizard after you activated BuddyPress in your install https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

– Go to wp-admin and check for the admin message. If it’s not there, then go to Plugins > Installed plugins, delete BuddyPress and re-upload it manually via FTP/file manager/cpanel
– BP also requires “pretty permalinks” so go to Settings > Permalinks and set it to option other than default ugly permalink.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@ronnie_fantastic please post the code for your theme’s content-page.php file. Initial scan shows that you might only need to create 2 files for compatibility process, but I need to see content-page.php

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@greenmeanie do post at the Gravity Forms forums as well. They provide support for their premium plugin.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@i-cash different instructions for different themes for Step 3 of the BP compatibility process. You can’t use the codes for WP Church given in the link you posted for your theme because it has a different HTML structure.
