What WP/MU and BP versions are you using?

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

“How can I do that? What’s the solution?”
The only solution would be a plugin but there’s none yet. Just in case … bumping this up.

In WPMU 2.9.2, avatar uploads in main site are in wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars while in WP 3.0 the avatar uploads in main site are “supposed” to be in wp-content/uploads/avatars/ like it is in single WP.

This solution to others’ avatar problems in this post might help you. Good luck.

There are a variety of ways to create home page – also depends on what WP version you’re on. In any case, you might want to look at @modemlooper‘s https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddypress-widget-theme

@thekmen From my point of view though, it looked more of converting WordPress theme to BuddyPress-compatible theme In any case, great job on the tutorial. Cheers.

@retroriff – in your second post, you mentioned you followed the BP codex where you placed define bp site via “Specifically, you can do this by creating a file called “bp-custom.php” in your “/wp-content/plugins/” directory (if you haven’t already).”

I would suggest that you delete the code you placed in bp-custom.php and add the code in wp-config.php per my post (ref: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/) – it works.

always puts paragraphs around the ….?

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@lincme that code would be added to your child theme’s or active BP theme’s functions.php file

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

As @LPH2005 mentioned above, create a child theme if you haven’t had already. Note that you must be using WP 3.0 to make the following work:

1. open up functions.php file and add
add_theme_support( ‘menus’ );

2. open up header.php, and add

replacing BP navigation items (if you’re on BP 1.3 trunk where BP components are rendered as Pages) or after the BP navigation items (pre BP 1.3 where there is still distinction between regular Pages and BP components)

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@LPH2005 congratulations, it must have been quite a pleasant surprise!
Cheers.

There is a Global Sitewide Forums plugin for BP still in beta and working in 1.2.4.1 …

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@boonebgorges and @turquoisefish FYI there is a free plugin by @sbrajesh which brings the Wire back to BuddyPress 1.2 and another way using the Activity section as Wire in BP 1.2 themes

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@rohan_kapoor – install same as your configurations; check bb-config.php – sample here http://wordpress.pastebin.com/1qAdu2q3
– after correcting your bb-config.php at root, you can re-run forum creation – BuddyPress > Forums Setup and click on re-install link. There should be 7 tables of bbPress generated in database wp_bb_forums, wp_bb_meta etc. as well as a new bbPress folder generated within wp-content/plugins/buddypress folder in server.

What WP/MU version are you using? Which theme are you using? In other words, help us help you

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@TPeterson1055 whether you are on WPMU 2.9.2 or WP 3.0 multisite, just go to dashboard > Site/Super Admin > Themes and make the Theme you want available to everyone “Active” and save.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Are you using the bp-default theme? Check settings if you allow registrations. Also, do you have any kind of membership plugin which could interfere with registration.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Did you install bbPress via dashboard BuddyPress > Forums Set Up? That would be needed to get the forums page going.

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@kevbow, this does deal with WP/MU/MS user capabilities. (backup database before trying anything below)

1 login your phpMyAdmin, select database and click to browse your xxx_users table (xxx=prefix used); check if there is “1” under ID column for the site/super admin

2 a. if there is, then go to xxxx_usermeta table; check under user_id column with “1” and see if it’s something like – if wpmu
xxx_1_capabilities is a:2:{s:13:”Administrator”;b:1;s:13:”administrator”..
user_login – value = admin

2b. If there is, also go to xxx_sitemeta table; check under site_admin “1” column and see if in row
your admin_email = is correct
admin_user_id = 1
site_admins = a:1:{i:0;s:7:”yourusername”;}
… and if not, then click on pencil icon and correct this then click on “Go” link

2c If there’s none, recreate by running SQL query
INSERT INTO ‘wp_usermeta'(‘umeta_id’,’user_id’,’meta_key’,’meta_value’) VALUES
(1, 1, ‘nickname’, ‘admin’),
(2, 1, ‘rich_editing’, ‘true’),
(3, 1, ‘admin_color’, ‘fresh’),
(4, 1, ‘wp_capabilities’, ‘a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}’),
(5, 1, ‘wp_user_level’, ’10’);

@azreeceli – based on your post, you want to allow your user to post and want to customize the admin dashboard so the user won’t even know that their posting in the back-end by theming the back-end to look like the front-end of the site. That’s is do-able but a lot of work which = paid work.
There’s a way to allow your users to post from the front-end,install Jet QuickPress plugin.https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-quickpress/

[@mercime Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

!is_user_logged_in then register – You can create a Page Template with login form and set it as home page in Settings > Reading
Then for users who have logged in, create bp-custom.php and add code by @sbrajesh and upload to wp-content/plugins folder to redirect them to respective profile pages
P.S. if you’re using WP 3.0, replace line
`if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))`
to
`if(!is_super_admin($user->user_login))`

Thanks @johnjamesjacoby

@arunbasillal good share. That’s what I’d do to make home page “future-proof” for BP 1.2 series – all bets are off for BP 1.3
