Go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components > Account Settings – should be checked to avoid errors in the meantime – Allow your users to modify their account and notification settings directly from within their profiles.
This has been fixed in trunk as a solution to a different issue but involving bp_get_settings_slug as well.
@CharlyNY if you’re in no rush, then wait for it. Or set up a test install where you could explore the options available.
@CharlyNY@komo whatever route you take, remember to always back up database and server files before upgrading. What takes a couple of minutes is better than hours/days worth of ^$#^$^&%%#^&^##.
Ideally, you should create a test site with the same server environment you have now along with the plugins and theme. Then install BuddyPress etc. and do the BP Compatibility process then some exploration and testing of other BP plugins.
Now, if you are adventurous, you can always back up your database and server files, then proceed with the BuddyPress installation and then the BP Template Pack plugin, etc.. If anything goes awry , you can always revert your installation to what it was before with your back ups.
You either use an FTP program like FireFTP or Filezilla and/or use your server’s cPanel/FileManager/etc. The first one’s better because you have backup copy of your theme files in the your computer’s hard drive.
Good. See if you have the bb-config.php you should have at the root of your WP install and check if necessary DB information is correct in bb-config.php
Or, keep that function in your functions.php file, copy over header.php from bp-default into your child theme folder, and add the link to stylesheet to header.php:
`<link rel="stylesheet" href="” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />`
between
“
and
`<link rel="pingback" href="” />`
Sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime, you can use Google search and input “buddypress.org topic/keywords”. Google has indexed our forums pretty well.
@tjherman are you on Windows or Linux server? WP 3.2.1 or WP 3.3? BP 1.5.1 or 1.5.2? Have you checked your database if 7 tables were generated for the forums and whether bb-config.php was generated at the root of your WP installation?
