@therandomguy12345 What theme are you using? Check out http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? What plugins are installed?

User registration is currently not allowed.

@theoptimystic If as you said in previous post that you enabled registration in Settings > General, then you might have a plugin that’s controlling your registration process.

Checking the source code of your home page, I see that there’s a pageline-buddypress plugin and the BP Template Pack plugin activated in your site. BP Template Pack plugin is no longer required as of BP 1.7 to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress. At least that’s true for nearly all WordPress themes. Deactivate those plugins, change to Twenty Twelve theme and check if issues are resolved.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

You can add this somewhere in your theme:

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_user_can_create_groups() ) : ?>
	<a class="button" href="<?php echo trailingslashit( bp_get_root_domain() . '/' . bp_get_groups_root_slug() . '/create' ); ?>">Create a Group</a>
<?php endif; ?>

Know that we are all volunteers living in different time zones.

BuddyPress does not enqueue any styles which would affect the layout of your theme. Have you tried checking out Yoo’s forums to see if there are others whose layouts were affected when BuddyPress was installed?

@chase8705 when you go to the register page while you’re still logged in, default behavior is to go to home page. Log out first before going to registration page.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@rjlucas do provide more information about your installation https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@sinetwo at this time, I only know of a premium plugin, Mapology, which is compatible with BuddyPress members/groups http://shop.shabushabu.eu/mapology.html

It’s all cool. This is the Requests and Feedback forum 🙂

@sooskriszta can share the enhancement tickets he/she posted in BuddyPress Trac and lobby for such, exercising first amendment rights. Ticket #5008 reminds me of the original BP theme which had the avatars of group admin/mod under the avatar with member avatars below it 🙂

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@fearracious glad you resolved the issue on your own 🙂
Marking this as resolved.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@carolinecalvert what theme are you using? Some themes have page titles which are not within the WP loop, hence BP cannot automagically insert the “Create Group” button beside the page title as seen https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/groups-directory.png

On way is to create a link when user is logged in. You only need to append /create/ after your site’s group directory url, e.g. http://example.com/groups/create/

In upcoming BP version, the create a group link will also be added to the Member’s navigation in WP toolbar. If you’re adventurous, you can add the code to have those links already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7062

BP/WP versions? What theme are you using? Plugins installed?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

Where are you hosted? I’ve heard issue with host’s object cache, just can’t recall if it was with Activity Stream or another component.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@sooskriszta going off-topic. Boone is blond (not white hair) and not even balding, lol. see http://boone.gorg.es/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@kalanstar I don’t have Jet Pack and WordPress SEO by yoast in the installation mentioned above.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@caming
#1 – Profile > Edit in Member’s profile page and/or BuddyPress member account links in WP Toolbar?
#2 – Have you done some basic troubleshooting like deactivating plugins except BP and bbPress to check if activating emails are sent?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

I would like to merge my members Profile with the author “profile” geotheme is imposing us. I would like to remake the whole members page and setting too.

@delarnmini customizations for a premium theme is beyond the scope of the assistance we provide at BuddyPress forums. Contact theme developers for assistance or you could hire a developer to assist you at http://jobs.wordpress.net or at https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@rotju best place to search or ask this is at theme dev’s forums. I recall someone mentioning that you need a plugin (don’t know if free or paid) to make Yoothemes compatible with BuddyPress. Don’t know if a yootheme plugin is still required at this time.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@compassseeker BuddyPress pages work automagically with nearly all WordPress themes. I hope you did not install and run the BP Template Pack plugin as it’s no longer needed in BP 1.7 above.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

tried with different themes in addition to disabling plugins

@kalanstar Just tested and I cannot replicate the bug. Do you have something in bp-custom.php file or in mu-plugins folder which you have not deactivated?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

@dowy site url? Can’t guess based on the image alone.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 4 months ago]

Both of the links you posted require authentication so we have no idea what you’re referring to at all.
