– WP/BP versions?
– Are you on Windows or Linux server?
– Have you changed to bp-default theme?
– Have you deactivated plugins except BuddyPress to isolate issue/s?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

– Did you install WP via fantastico/simplescript/or other webhost script? It’s not going to work with BP.

== downloaded the plugin and made a wordpress account ==

What do you mean you made a WP account? Where did you make the WP account?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

– check the bb-config.php at root of WP install (where you’ll find wp-config.php) and double-check that the DB information in bb-config.php is the correct one – the same as in your wp-config.php

– check if 7 bbpress tables have been generated in your database
yourPrefix_bb_forums
yourPrefix_bb_meta
yourPrefix_bb_posts
yourPrefix_bb_terms
yourPrefix_bb_term_relationships
yourPrefix_bb_term_taxonomy

Thank you for your cool plugins

– What’s in your .htaccess file?
– Site URL?
– Local notebook server – WAMP, MAMP, XAMPP?
– live site server – Linux/Windows?
– Changed to bp-default theme and deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress?

Why not? Not all posts at WP.org forums tagged buddypress have issues specific to BP. In many cases, WP.org moderators have referrred posters to our forums here. In some cases, I’ve referred posters here to multisite forums or third-party plugin and theme forums in WP.org when appropriate. And many plugin and theme devs have their own forums as well.

If your post is unanswered after 24 hours, feel free to bump your topic. 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers/developers living in different time zones.

Welcome back. Closing and marking as resolved.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

If you upgraded to iFeature Pro, then you should ask the theme dev about this matter as we have no access to the premium theme. Again, you can refer to post above for reference. Good luck.

If you created a child theme of bp-default, copy over two files from bp-default theme into your child theme folder:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-themes/bp-default/single.php (add after line 10)
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-themes/bp-default/page.php (add after line 10)

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Maybe I misunderstood, but there’s an equivalent hook for member header `bp_before_member_header_meta` in groups header bp_before_group_header_meta so you don’t have to filter `bp_get_group_description`

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

This means that you haven’t completed the compatibility process specifically Step 3.

In your case, based on the free iFeature theme in WordPress theme repo, you will have to change 16 BP template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your iFeature theme folder in your server during the compatibility process. Therefore the following instruction is for that free iFeature theme:

Download the 6 BP folders from your theme’s folder to your computer hard drive.

Starting with /activity/index.php, open up with text editor and at the very top of this file and the remaining 15 files, replace:
`

`

with:
`<?php
global $options, $themeslug, $post; // call globals
$page_section_order = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘page_section_order’ , true);
get_header();
?>

get($themeslug.’_disable_breadcrumbs’) == “1”)) { chimps_breadcrumbs(); }?>
?php chimps_before_page_content(); ?>

`

At the very bottom of the all 16 files files replace:
`

`

with the following (except for register.php):
`

`

with the following for register.php
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save all files and upload to your theme’s folder in server, following the directory structure strictly.

If this doesn’t work, you can request theme author to take a look at this post and show you the correct placements.

== define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); how would this appear to work? ==
Didn’t see your earlier post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bp_enable_multiblog/

== does each blog have its own setting? ==
No, there’s only one instance of BP for a multisite installation by default.

== newly invited members (using “Invite Anyone” plugin, only appear as users in Network Admin and not on any blog. Is this a bug? ==
No it’s not a bug. It’s supposed to work like that for multisite even without Invite Anyone plugin. Can’t find the WP trac ticket that changed from user listed per site (old WPMU days) to sitewide user list (in WP 3.0).

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

`TEMPLATEPATH` and `STYLESHEETPATH` (for child themes) have been deprecated in favor of `template_directory_uri` (for files you want for parent theme) and `stylesheet_directory_uri `(for files you need in your child theme folder) respectively.

e.g. you added localization for your child theme, so one of the lines you’ll be adding to your child theme’s functions.php in the past would have been
`load_theme_textdomain( ‘mytextdomain’, STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/languages’ );`

Now should be
`load_theme_textdomain( ‘mytextdomain’, get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/languages’ );`

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Haven’t heard about this issue before.
– WP/BP versions?
– did you switch back to bp-default theme and check if issue is corrected?
– did you deactivate all plugins except BP and see if issue is corrected?
– all other info about your installation is welcome.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

== Run the set up there ==
Make sure that you’ve set Pretty Permalinks at Settings > Permalinks. Then activate BuddyPress and go through the installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/

== make the site dogs choose the buddypresss theme ==
Say what? Choose theme by the number of barks?

BuddyPress will be installed in main site by default. You should have a BuddyPress-compatible theme or your own bp-default child theme installed there. If you allow blog creation by members for your multisite installation, then you should upload theme/s which your “dogs” can choose the themes for their respective blogs/subsites.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Noted. Thank you for your patience.

Sorry, both plugins are outdated, not compatible with BP 1.5.3.1

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

#1 – build a child theme of bp-default,
– copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/entry.php following the directory structure i.e. childthemefolder/activity/entry.php
– open up entry.php and delete lines 64 – 78 and Save file.

#2 – renaming labels – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

BP supports whatever WP does to embed videos from Youtube, Vimeo, Hulu, etc. in regular blog posts – http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-embed-videos-in-wordpress-blog-posts/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

You might need to update your theme. Change to bp-default theme, clear cache and check if issue is resolved.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

– Check database and see if seven tables for bbPress were automatically generated during the forums installatio process – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/#bp-forums-db

– Check the bb-config.php file created during the group forums installation process at root of your WP installation. DB information correct there?

– Check wp-admin menu BuddyPress > Pages = is the Forums page associated with “Forums”?

– Re-run wp-admin menu Settings > Permalinks and click Save.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

== How can i disable all plugins ==
Access server files via FTP and rename plugins folder in wp-content/plugins to something else like wp-content/plugins-xxx to access your wp-admin. After you do, rename plugins folder to correct one. Btw, not good bulk-activating BuddyPress with other plugins.
