Site update still ongoing. @tnd, just include word buddypress.org with search terms when you Google.

Call to undefined function sometimes means an incomplete upload/upgrade or could be caused by some outdated themes.
– Manually re-upload WP and BP files via FTP/cpanel then change theme to WP default theme.
– Activate BP plugin and bp-default theme first, then the rest of the plugins. See at which point you get an error,

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

What theme are you using? Change to bp-default theme.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

WP/BP versions? Theme used? Plugins installed? Site URL?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

So many things have happened recently to your install – from switching hosts to upgrading WP and BP. Which webhost did you transfer to?

For mail porblems, some have found resolution via
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ or an older plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

As for “syntax error, unexpected T_STRING” some solutions:
1. Re-upload WP files manually i.e. via FTP/cpanel
2. Re-upload BP files manually
3. Check PHP version of new server, min. required is PHP 5.2.4
4. Missing backslash before single quote ‘
5. Delete space betweent `<?` and `php` to correct `<?php`

@darkay16 three options available http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/creating-a-blog-page-with-paging/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

First of all, if this is the same Tropical Dream theme from free-wordpress-theme.net, then I suggest that you check all your theme files for any encrypted or encoded scripts and if necessary, have such scripts decoded first at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-decoding-thread?replies=10

Following are some references to get HTML in line with BP template files:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

1. Download BP template folders/files transferred to your active WP theme in server to your computer hard drive.

2. Let’s start with the first file which needs to be changed https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates

Open up /activity/index.php and at the top of the file, replace
`

`

with your theme’s HTML at top
`

`

At the bottom of the /activity/index.php, replace
`

`

with your theme’s structure
`

`

3. Save revised /activity/index.php and implement revisions on the rest of the files as listed in https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates

4. Upload revised template files to server. Cross your fingers

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Site URL?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

I use home.php myself. Glad you have it working

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@hnla something you’d like to add here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3096 or in a new ticket ?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

It’s a WP issue that’s affecting BP which DJPaul reported in WP Trac https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

The code you posted is still not enough – it’s missing the rest of the code ending in “

Two ways:
1. WP Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page or
2. create home.php (special WP template file) and paste the complete code then save to theme folder in server

Sorry, that is not enough to create a theme which you will need to run WordPress/BuddyPress. You can choose from among the free themes in the WP repo at https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/

If you have any trouble with WP installation or themes, please post your questions at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@Jcollier – creating a post here at BuddyPress.org or in your own BP installation?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

It’s in beta, read this http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

The first thought is cache plugin not working well in your install. The second thought is outdated theme or plugin.

1st step in troubleshooting, change to bp-default theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@Chouf1 It’s WP generated URL for when you set comments to show no more than x number of comments per page e.g. http://pross.org.uk/plugins/theme-check/comment-page-1/#comment-2834

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@drhoussem The article I linked to was quite clear. For more assistance re adding widget areas in your theme, WP.org forums is the place to go –> https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@curtis642 sure, just start a new thread. Before doing so, I recognize the theme you’re using as one which needs some decryption if you haven’t done so already. Clean the theme files up first. You’ll find decoding assistance here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-decoding-thread?replies=7

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

After posting a forum topic, when I click on Edit link, it goes to 404 page.

You make a WP theme compatible with BP via the BP Template Pack plugin. The whole process is explained in the first link and an example in the second link.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/ where it shows how you can hardcode the navigation tabs/links to BP components and regular WP pages

Learning curve on CSS is relative to time allotted to learning and interest in the subject matter. You can start off with online CSS tutorials and continue from there

Hi @tjbrewers fixed in BP 1.3 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1796

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Permissions errors more often appear with incomplete auto-upgrades. Manually upload via FTP/cpanel WordPress files and all plugins you have recently upgraded. Clear cache.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

You’re welcome. That was the easy part

Backup and make notes of the revisions you made so when you next have to upgrade BP Template Pack plugin, you’ll know what changes you’ll need to do again.
