@brashell61 as posted in WP Forums, You’d have to make the group private. Then you would need a custom plugin created for joining a group via password.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@ddbx46 the conditional for home page
if ( is_home() || is_front_page() )

and instead of using
bloginfo(‘template_url’)
should be
bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’)
since bp collumns is a child theme

@panthony54 Did you create a page to post the shortcode per installation page I see in WP extend? Go to Pages > All Pages and delete that page.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@arterynyc please do not expect volunteers to register in your site in order to assist you. It would be better if you provided a test user username and password which you could delete later on if the issue is resolved.

Is the issue resolved if you remove the plugin/script “FlaGallery Banner which is nivo slider” ?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Glad the issue was resolved. Marking this topic as so.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@shortoldtree site url? Need to see those styles in context.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

I am using Premise (by StudioPress)

@feliperinaldi have you checked out with Premise provider re compatibility with BuddyPress? StudioPress does provide support for their premium themes/plugins.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@cpabramo know that we are all volunteers here living in different time zones.

Just checked out your site. Initial scan shows that your theme is loading up jQuery 1.7.2 when BuddyPress and Bowe’s Code are using jQuery 1.8.3

I know you mentioned that you changed themes and checked plugins already. You didn’t mention if you checked out site after changing to BP Default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress at the same time.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@danny80 WordPress/BuddyPress versions? What theme are you using – BP Default or some other theme?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@filipmedia add the following to your theme’s style.css file

#buddypress .standard-form div.submit input {
color: #000 !important;
}

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@nahin if you want to install BP in a subsite, then add the following to your wp-config.php file (at root of your WP installation)

define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );

change the number 3 above to the ID of subsite

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@lradden
1. backup database and server files.

2. Change to Twenty Eleven theme and deactivate BuddyPress.

3. Now re-activate BuddyPress. You should see the Installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ Follow instructions and select the BP Default theme in panel which shows up during this process.

4. Continue on to Configuring Components codex.buddypress.org/legacy/configuring-components-v1-5/

5. Check your BP pages in the front end.

6. If all is working as expected, then backup DB again.

7. Upgrade to latest WordPress and BuddyPress versions.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@parakeet checked your site with Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE 9, and Opera == all okay. Have you fixed this already? What OS are you using?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@parakeet the grey background is right. I don’t know why there’s a white background at the top extending beyond the header area. site url?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

div#site-generator p,
div#site-generator a {
color: #fff;
}

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

could u make the support-account data invisible?

@shadow772 Do you mean the test user account and site URI you posted above? Done.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

sorry fot not waiting, but I have to solve this issue for the running system.

@shadow772 Glad you’re able to resolve the issue in test environment on your own and sharing how you resolved the issue. Cool.

Of course. Good luck wishes aplenty from me to you 🙂

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@ludachrisgsx Looks like you’d want to import vbulletin forums to bbPress forums https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vbulletin/ For more information/assistance, please post at https://bbpress.org/forums/

BuddyPress and bbPress are both WordPress plugins.

1. scalable – yes. One can only be limited by server and skillset. https://wordpress.org/showcase/flavor/buddypress/ are just some who have thousand of users.

2. not buggy – nothing’s perfect in this world. Having said that, both BuddyPress and bbPress have the same Project Lead and both projects are actively maintained and upgraded. Compatibility of both plugins with current WordPress version is assured.

3. easily modified – easy is relative. The code is open source. Experienced BP/bbP/WP developers can certainly add/remove features as needed.

4. ton of features – register at http://testbp.org/ the official BuddyPress test site running default features on trunk versions of WP/BP/bbP using Twenty Twelve theme.

5. easy to build out different content types etc – see #3 above.

6. not bloated – one can enable or disable features as needed.

7. easily optimized for search engines – WP/BP are naturally optimized for search engines even without “seo” plugins.

8. solid support community – all of us who give support in these forums are volunteers living in different time zones. There is no on-demand support. One could hire full-time/experienced developers by posting at:
– https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/ and
– http://jobs.wordpress.net/

9. secure, obviously – we take security seriously.

>> I know that asking this here will come with a BP slant,

Unlike phpfox and vbulletin, we’re not trying to sell BuddyPress. It’s free. It’s there for anybody to use. And it’s an outstanding plugin if I may say so myself, constantly improving and keeping up to date with latest developments. We have active communities submitting enhancement requests, bug reports and patches for the bugs where found. There are developers who submit add-ons themes/plugins which are either free in WordPress.org or commercial ones specifically for BuddyPress.

Good luck with your selection process.

EDIT – I took my time answering, didn’t see your post @modemlooper

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@bornholmeren To change color of footer text, add the following to your style.css file and adjust to taste

div#footer {
color: #555;
}

To change color of footer links, add the following to your style.css file and adjust to taste

div#footer a {
color: #006;
}

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@nahin Not clear what you mean. Did you try to activate BuddyPress via Network Admin > Plugins?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@byfchew See section on BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications) at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/faq/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@stemcpt BuddyPress is not activated in your site. Your query should be directed to the theme author of delight.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

First off, what theme are you using? Have you changed to BP Default theme to check if issue is resolved?

If you have to see it, u have to mail me, because it’s a members-only-site

Rather that you post username/password of a temporary or throw-away account.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@praisehim as Huddle is a premium theme, we no access to the theme files or how the template files were created. Please contact theme author for support which is provided for with your theme purchase.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@jonathanvandersluis I see that you’ve used the BP Template Pack plugin for Twenty Twelve and BP compatibility. Following is page with Step 3 for Twenty Twelve http://wp.me/p1I84P-4d
