I am using catalyst theme and I have added buddypress to it. I have also used BuddyPress Template Pack.
Not to rock the boat, but if you have BuddyPress 1.7+ activated in your site, you shouldn’t need to install/activate that BP Template Pack plugin anymore in most cases.
plugin or any modification that can insert the default user account in the sidebar and removes it from top bar while using my own theme?
I would create a child theme of the Catalyst theme and then copy over your catalyst theme’s sidebar.php into your child theme folder with the relevant login code from the BP Default theme’s sidebar.php. Activate the child theme.
@ebraxton30 know that we are all volunteers here living in different time zones.
What have you done so far to troubleshoot the problem? Have you checked whether your theme has been updated for BP 1.7+? Did you change to Twenty Twelve theme or the BP Default theme to see if issue is the same or resolved? Or possibly checking if it’s a plugin conflict?
the test profiles are working. Just not the ones filled in.
Not quite sure what you mean. Filled in profile fields are not showing up? Site url?
@lenasterg Thanks for the update. Have you thought of submitting this to WP Plugins Repo – slightly different name and with props to orig plugin author?
@moonshark1gmailcom did you enable registration in your Settings? Otherwise, there’ll be no place to register indeed. As for login, you can download any login widget plugin and add it to your sidebar, or just direct your users to wp-login.php
@baskers I got a 404 page when I visited your link. Try renaming the subdirectory folder where you installed your WordPress and BuddyPress from RickyTweetUp to rickytweetup
@rgkeenan sure, you should post at the bbPress forums. Check first if it’s not a theme issue. If you change to twenty twelve theme, is issue resolved? Have you tried re-uploading bbPress manually, to make sure that all bbPress files are in your server?
There is the BuddyPress Followers plugin, but that follows a person/member and not a post. What exactly do you mean by following a post? Perhaps, you’d prefer a “Like” plugin where members can “like” a post or not.
@paisano What theme are you using? If it’s a “BuddyPress-ready” theme, check if it’s been updated for BP 1.7. Change to BP Default theme and check if same issue is showing up
@designloud What theme are you using? What plugins are activated? First time I’ve seen this issue. Change to BP Default theme and check if issue is resolved. If not, deactivate plugins except BuddyPress and then activate the other plugins by batches to check which is causing the issue.
