You’re already the Super Admin.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@lottiejam Yes, it’s a permalink issue. Adding index.php in permalink is not an option to use with BuddyPress as you can see. mod_rewrite or equivalent should be enabled in your server, contact webhost for assistance in setting it up

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved

WP/BP versions? Change theme to WP default twenty eleven or the BP Default theme

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@robreg what theme are you using? Did you check at bottom of the page you looked at where we have “template-packed” a number of WP themes https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

If your WP theme is not listed there, open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php file. I need to see the whole picture.

@charlietech you have posted about this same issue in a previous post. If I recall well, the issue is either with Suffusion or the Suffusion BP template pack. Did you not contact the theme/plugin author about this issue?

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@raphadko aas r-a-y mentioned above, it would require custom development.

Simplest way to add a notice is to create a function where you can add/revise the announcement/s and hook it into `do_action( ‘bp_before_group_forum_content’ );`
OR
copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum.php into your theme folder wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder/groups/single/forum.php and add/style announcement on line 2 or line 4 of that file. It will show up in all group forums but won’t show up in Forums Directory list of topics.

@lottiejam you have to provide more information
WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Site URL?

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@cspinillo looks like you don’t have BuddyPress activated anymore.

As to your issue, read how to make your Chameleon theme compatible with BP https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/buddypress-compatibility-and-chameleon-theme-elegant-themes/

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

There was a plugin for BP 1.5.1 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-hashtags/ Not tested if it works for BP 1.6.1

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Could be a theme issue. Have you tried changing to bp-default theme and posting update?

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Then you have to create the blog yourself and only add the new user and remove yourself as admin after you’ve seen that a link to your site has been added to their site.

Or, you’ve have to create a script/plugin (or hire a developer to do so) that “phones home” to your site to confirm that the member has added a link to your site and that will trigger allowing the member to create a new blog in your site.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

When you deactivated suffusion, did you also deactivate suffusion/buddypress pack plugin?

Re “Duplicate Posts” while using bp-default theme — are you referring to Status Updates in activity stream? If so, deactivate any plugin you’ve added which posts media or other info in activity stream

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@koki_xiong something’s getting lost in translation. use http://translate.google.com/
As far as I can gather, if you cannot access wp-admin after activing BuddyPress, rename your plugins folder in server to e.g. wp-content/plugins-xxx Then after you get into wp-admin, rename plugins-xxx back to wp-content/plugins

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Check this out http://buddydev.com/buddypress/making-buddypress-activity-searchable/

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Just add the following to your theme’s style.css or custom.css file
`li.bbp-forum-info,
li.bbp-topic-title {
width: 50% !important;
}`

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

You’re welcome. Thanks for posting what the plugin conflict was.
Marking this as resolved.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

Good for you. Good luck. Curious which plugin caused the lock-out.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

The simpler, the better You’re welcome.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

rename buddypress folder back to normal in wp-content…

then just rename the plugins folder to e.g. wp-content/plugins-xxx and that will take care of all the plugins. then after you get in wp-admin, rename the plugins folder back to normal.

activate buddypress, activate bp-default theme first, then activate the plugins one by one.

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

rename BuddyPress plugin folder to e.g. wp-content/plugins/buddypress-xxx

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@nealw Curious, does the same email activation issue come up if you change to BP Default theme and activate bbPress plugin?

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@scottlund Only Group Admins and Site/Super Admins can upload Group avatars

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@fonemi Have not encountered this before but I would go first with removing the “buddypress” tag from your theme’s style.css file. Which WP theme are you using with the BP template pack plugin?

[@mercime Participant 14 years ago]

@peaceloveanarchy Rename Custom Community theme folder in server to e.g. wp-content/themes/custom-community-xxx via ftp/filemanager/etc. then go to wp-admin
