the ‘create new group’ button which is missing
@reneappeldoorn that’s because in your theme the page title is located outside the WP loop. You can create a link for Group creation url example.com/groups/create
In the same vein, if you’re on multisite and allowing users to create blogs, then you’d also need to create a link example.com/blogs/create

In reply to: Making the theme Catchbox compatible with Buddypress@keenanlukey Yes. You should deactivate the BP Template Pack plugin if you’re using BuddyPress 1.7. Since you’ve reached Step 3 of Appearance > BP Compatibility process, it means that you should also delete the 6 BP folders (activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, registration) transferred to your catch-box theme folder in server during the compatibility process. Then go check out your BuddyPress pages in site frontend. Per initial scan of your theme’s page.php and stylesheet, looks like only minor, if any, CSS changes only.
In reply to: I'm getting this warning message@bill-king I asked you to change themes to double-check if the warning was only happening in your theme as I presumed it would. I just checked out the Radiance theme demo at Rocketthemes and unfortunately, they’re still using jQuery version 1.7.1 while WordPress and therefore BuddyPress as well, are using jQuery version 1.9.1. Which brings me to question are they dequeueing WP’s jQuery to get in their version in? That’ll be bad, as it’s going to break some WP plugins which use 1.9.1. Hopefully, the Rockettheme devs there will update their WP themes to use 1.9.1 otherwise, it’s going to be a rocky road for you with WordPress plugins using WP’s 1.9.1 version.
If the jQuery issue gets fixed, there is another method to BP Theme Compatibility, i.e., copy Radiance theme’s page.php file and save as buddypress.php. Tell the theme dev that you need to revise code within buddypress.php to make it work with BuddyPress amidst all the customized coding, i.e., need the_title and the_content to be within the WordPress loop.
In reply to: I'm getting this warning message@bill-king What theme are you using? Custom-coded probably with own proprietary way of rendering WP pages so we cannot filter the page title for BuddyPress pages. Change to Twenty Twelve or BP Default theme and those warnings will go away.
In reply to: Sizing of navigation tabsI’ve played with CSS in the Montezuma theme, in BP Template plugin
If you mean the BP Template Pack plugin by “BP Template” plugin then you shouldn’t need to use that plugin with BP 1.7 … unless theme author instructions require you to do so?
As for your CSS problem. Getting 500 error when I don’t want cookies.
In reply to: Register new member not workingWhen I try to register a new member, the register page redirect to itself, not registering a new member.
Has the Huddle theme been updated for BP 1.7? Did you check with theme author? If you change to BP Default theme, does registration work then?
I allowed everybody to register in the config page as a subscriber.
Sorry, but what is the config page? Do you mean you allowed registration in Settings > General with Suscriber role?
In reply to: [Resolved] Blank Page Forum for Users@johnconner Glad you resolved the issue and thanks for posting back. Did you add that to your htaccess file to harden WordPress install?
I believe I understood that the BuddyBar was being deprecated.
@jcollier BuddyBar had already been deprecated since BuddyPress 1.6. For reference see related tickets, specifically #3661 and #3596 You can also check out bp-members-adminbar.php with bp-members-buddybar.php in current BP 1.7 version //edit – Visitors who are not logged in shouldn’t be able to see member’s my account options.
Buddybar shown to all users, including a log-in/register link for new users
If you want BuddyBar back, you can create a bp-custom.php file, add following code, and upload to wp-content/plugins/ folder in server
`<?php
// Bring BuddyBar back
add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );
?>`In reply to: [Resolved] Blank Page Forum for Users@johnconner Need more information about your installation.
– WP single or multisite? If multisite, is BP in main site or subsite?
– Is this a new installation of did you upgrade from BP 1.6.5? If new, did you follow instructions at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ ?
– Did you go through basic troubleshooting like changing to BP Default theme and deactivating all other plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and checking if issue is resolved?In reply to: Register@ghyatt As I mentioned above, the menu links are there. They’re just hidden behind that purple band which you should be able to remove – theme options perhaps. What you can do is to send the pages ending with -2 to Trash. Open up Trash and retrieve the pages without the -2 ending, then delete the others permanently.
As for BP Theme Compat, before going the uninstall/reinstall route, open up your theme’s page.php file, copy code and paste into pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated uri here so I can see the code used in that theme.
In reply to: Visual editor image upload/insert featureForums are done with bbPress plugin and the plugin to add images in the forums https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ Support for bbPress -> https://bbpress.org/forums/
In reply to: Site not showing now@iconimagery first thing to do is change to WordPress default theme and deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress. I see that you’re using some plugins which have not been updated for latest WP and BP versions, e.g. plugin not updated for the past two years.
When the site’s home page is working again, activate BuddyPress only, change to default theme and check components. I recommend that you check that each plugin is compatible with latest WP and BP before activating it in your installation.
In reply to: [Resolved] Registration mails not being sent?@joenative Thanks for posting how you resolved your issue. Marking this topic as resolved.
@kosuke70 Banzaii! Marking this topic as resolved.
claims of working with any theme
@fpats I’ve seen reports where there are themes from themeforest which have failed the easiest route to BP Theme Compatibility enjoyed by almost all WordPress themes. Many possibilities to theme failure. Let’s take a look at what could be causing the failure in your theme and find the best alternative route provided by BP Theme Compat to make it work.
Start a new topic here with your theme name and Theme Compat as title. Copy the source code of your theme’s page.php file, post the code in pastebin.com and post the generated pastebin URI in your topic. BP Theme Compat has alternative methods of making it work, here alone or with the theme author’s participation.
In reply to: Group forum gives error 500 when creating new post@otaibia_traveler first, you need to provide more information about your installation. Is this a new install with WP 3.5.1, BP 1.7 and bbPress 2.3? If so, did you install your Group Forum per information found at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ ?
In reply to: Private forum page not found error@xprt007 so basically when you say latest WP 3.5.1, BP 1.7 and now bbPress 2.3, right? If your group is set to Private then the Group Forum created via https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ should be private as well. So the question is, how did you set up your forum for that group?

In reply to: Template of this forum@tbermudas templates for support forums at BuddyPress.org and bbPress.org are custom-made for the site. For starters though, you can create a Page Template for the Forums home page, add the topics shortcode for content. For sidebar, you would look at bbp_list_forums() and output what you need. This question would be better addressed at https://bbpress.org/support/
In reply to: Site not showing now@tgoedde Please do provide more information about the issue and your installation. When and where does the message show up? Also https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
In reply to: post & comments order layout@larouchj this looks more to be a WordPress issue and how you’re going to adapt your theme’s layout to what you want to do above. Do also post this at the WordPress forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates
In reply to: Visual editor image upload/insert feature@tbermudas The blog posts comment area is in the purview of WordPress by default. There’s a plugin for adding images in blog post comments https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comment-images/
In reply to: RegisterI have it set in gen admin options to allow for registration and all pages necessary for BP with their corresponding links which you can see on the top of my site???
@ghyatt I don’t see any links to the BuddyPress pages at the top of your site using Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Looking at source code however, I see that it’s there and covered via stylesheet of “This is a demo store for testing purposes — no orders shall be fulfilled.” purple band at the top of your site.
1) Not the issue, but recommend fixing -> Some of your BP pages have -2 in the URL like /register-2, /members-2, /activate-2, and /groups-2 which means that you probably moved the original register, members, activate, and groups page to Trash bin but did not delete the pages permanently. So when you created a new Register page for example, -2 was appended to the page slug.
2) Re layout of your BuddyPress pages – looks like your theme has a custom-coded page which does not follow the regular WordPress templating system. That’s why the BP theme compatibility is off, including the missing submit button. Change to Twenty Twelve theme and you’ll see the Submit button in the Register page. You’d need to create a buddypress.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
