@jamesdonegan please contact BuddyPress Media plugin devs about the issue https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-media

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@arian1123 cool 🙂 Marking this topic as resolved.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@jianzhi You’re in luck. Check out http://buddydev.com/buddypress/making-wordpress-seo-plugin-compatible-with-buddypress/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@arian1123 which BP theme compatibility method (A or B) did you use

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@southernroutes we are aware of the issue. check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4571

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

– What did you create – Group Forums or Sitewide Forums or Sitewide/Group forums?
– Click on the phones forum, there should be a form where you can create a topic for that forum.
– Did you enable registration in your site via Settings > General ?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@rayela What issue did you post about and in which thread?

The reason we ask that you create a topic of your own is because not everyone has the same server configuration nor plugins used, theme activated etc. plus just plain courtesy to the original poster of topic. Some people try to hijack the thread with “similar issues” but have multisite instead of single site or have defective plugins or have themes with proprietary templating systems, and the list goes on.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@jianzhi could be a theme issue. What theme are you using? Change to Twenty Twelve theme and check if issue is resolved.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@martyn_ we are aware of this issue. Thank you for your patience.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

Could there be an issue using a responsive design with a static front page instead of the WordPress default page?

None that I could imagine.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

You’d find the basic information about BuddyPress components at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/

Limiting the number of groups which can be created by user is plugin territory https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-groups-per-user/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

but the filters for the research not working

Do you mean filters for search instead?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

not even sure how to use it yet

@ziva777 BP Codex is your friend.

– https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/

AS for the BP Component links in your main menu, use the custom menu in your WP theme and add whichever links you want to main menu.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@myironlung3 Switch to Twenty Twelve theme and check if BP content is showing up. The issue ight be that the theme is using proprietary templating system so it’s not rendering BP content. Have you contacted theme developer for assistance in getting the_title and the_content working in your buddypress.php file? Could be that just using the template tags is not enough but might need a “bridge”/extra functions for compatibility with BP. You could paste your theme’s original page.php source code in pastebin.com and post the link here so we can take a look.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@bloodveil there are gallery/media plugins for Buddypress such as
Free: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
Premium: http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

any registered if logged in, can’t see activity streams

@rajeev-jain very strange. As mentioned above, backup database. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and change to Twenty Twelve theme. Clear cache. Check if you can view Activity Streams now. If ues, then activate the Magazine theme and check Activity Stream. If all is go, activate plugins batch by batch and double-check Activity Streams to help you identify what is causing the visibility issue when logged in.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@rajeev-jain So to be clear, you cannot see you Activity Stream pages when you’re logged in? I can see it fine. You should be able to deactivate the BP plugins except BuddyPress and social login plugin without any issues. Back up database first if you’re unsure so you can revert to old database if there’s any problem.

To avoid stressful upgrades or plugin surprises (!), recommend that you set up a development site which mirrors your production environment so you have an area to test themes, plugins and upgrading before you actually upgrade your production site or install a new plugin/theme.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@doollard just to be clear, BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin, and so BP uses the same database as your WP installation. Therefore:
– You can install BP in your first WP installation where you used DB prefix wp11_
– You can also install BP in your second WP installation where you used prefix bp77_

Now if you mean that you want to run one WP/BP installation using two databases, that would be in the world of DB experts/developers. If you’re going to take this on yourself, look at:
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/hyperdb/faq/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@alex4red just add the following to your theme’s functions.php file.

// Begone BP Admin Bar Style
remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_load_admin_bar_css’, 12 );

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@louieknows so you’re good to go now, right? 🙂

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@faramarz We’re aware of that. Changes being made in the backend.
Thank you for your patience.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@louieknows most WordPress themes have custom menus where you can add any page menu yourself. What theme are you using?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 3 months ago]

@bloodveil Thanks for clarifying what you meant. Site Admins posting in BP forums are looking for front-end solutions e.g. http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/ to prevent users from accessing/going to the wp-admin area at all. So your post was unexpected 🙂

Populating the dashboard with posts of friends is not an easy task and would require you to create the solution yourself or hiring a developer to do so, if you still want to go that route.
