Yeah, I was in midst of correcting that hopefully before you saw it. Haste made waste.

function my_adminbar_name () {
global $bp;
echo '<a>root_domain . '" id="admin-bar-logo">Welcome Connect</a>';
}
remove_action('bp_adminbar_logo','bp_adminbar_logo');
add_action('bp_adminbar_logo','my_adminbar_name');

EDIT – Works when you put this in your active theme’s functions.php file (instead of the bp-custom.php file in plugins directory as mentioned above. Thanks to @DJPaul in this post).

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

replace that line with

https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

If you don’t have one yet, create file named bp-custom.php and add the code below then upload to server in wp-content/plugins/ folder

<?php

remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_logo',  'bp_adminbar_logo' );

function my_adminbar_name() {
global $bp;
echo '<li><a>root_domain . '">' . Website Connect . '</a></li>';
}
add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'my_adminbar_name', 1);

?>

Replace “Website Connect” with what you want.

If you want to use a WordPress theme, you have to also install the BP Template Pack plugin.

Something like this https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

Saw something like this in WP.org forums. Bug/s in WP 3.0.5 https://wordpress.org/tags/305

Some solutions
1. If you did the auto upgrade from admin dashboard, do a manual update. https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update
2. Install https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hotfix/
3. Upgrade Akismet plugin to latest version

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

If you mean the files added by BP Template Pack plugin in your active theme, feel free to delete the following:

You should check out testbp.org to see default installation from member viewpoint.
BP Codex – https://codex.buddypress.org/home/
Configure BP Components includes members, groups, forums – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/
BP Plugins – https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/ – make sure the plugin you use is compatible with current BP version

Of course you’re free to look elsewhere, like Elgg ( plugins in basic install) and Drupal Commons (featured on wpmu.org)

@JBo796 WP/BP versions? Have you changed theme to bp-default, deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress, cleared cache, create a test user account and then check if BP log in works?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

There are 13 files https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates – blogs/create.php and registration/activate.php missing in your list

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

It looks like it’s your custom child theme that could be the culprit, is the custom child theme your own or someone else’s theme? Which is it? Either JS conflict or you could be missing wp_head or wp_footer tags or something else entirely.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

You’re welcome. Glad you have i working.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

You’re welcome.

Backticks are like apostrophe’s slanted backward looks like this “` and you need to put a backtick before and another backtick after the code – like the page.php – for that to show up in forum webpage.

=== The following is the Forum.php which I need to change ===

That’s not the file you need to change if you want BP compatibility.
If you have gone through the BP Template Pack process, the pages you need to change are in folders which have been moved by the process to your active theme’s folder as listed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates
So per list above, the file you need to change is the forums/index.php file

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

You do need a working knowledge of HTML/CSS at least to effect the necessary changes. If you cannot do it at this time, you might want to wait for BP 1.3 where BP components are rendered in your regular WP theme if BP is activated. Or in the meantime, you could create a child theme of the bp-default theme (here’s how to https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ ) and use that first.

What BP/WP versions are you on? What BP Theme are you using? Have you deactivated all other plugins except BuddyPress and changed to bp-default theme while you’re resolving this issue?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

@obiwan77
a) Could be. There are other factors in play for good SEO
b) Not really. Have you tried http://wpml.org/ plugin?
c) It depends on your webhost – bandwith and memory allocated, etc.
However, this forum is for BuddyPress, proceed to WP Multisite forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite and use same username and password you used here to log in there to get further assistance.

`Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog:
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );`
from https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Note that there’s only ONE instance of BP throughout the whole WPMultisite installation
