You’ve almost got it! Yes, create a new page for registration and then go back to the BuddyPress page settings and assign the register page.

You can adjust colors in your active theme’s style.css file. You will need to know some CSS probably. However, it is best to use a child theme so that when you update your theme, the style changes will not get overwritten. Not sure if you already have one in place, but here’s some more info about that: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

[Sarah Gooding]

Also, you’ll want to assign a page for your registration page- see this codex article for more details: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/

[Sarah Gooding]

Do you have pretty permalinks set? Check out this codex article for more info: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/navigation-links-return-404-errors/

[Sarah Gooding]

Do you have registration open in your WordPress settings? Go to Admin >> Settings >> General and check “Anyone can register” to see if that fixes it.

[Sarah Gooding]

The next thing I’d try is renaming the plugins folder so that it deactivates all your plugins (in case you are experiencing a conflict).

We’ve put together a nice list of responsive BuddyPress themes here http://wpmu.org/10-responsive-buddypress-themes/

[Sarah Gooding]

Just an update to this issue: Through working with @karmatosed we found that it was a problem, partially related to this ticket here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3821 and were able to correct it.

[Sarah Gooding]

Yes, I just tested with this but it doesn’t make a difference for showing a users’ list of favorites. I’ve never encountered this before.

[Sarah Gooding]

I haven’t changed anything in the BP core. I just deleted those files and uploaded a fresh copy of BP 1.5.1. again – still no change. Maybe something in the database? What might I look for in the activity or activity meta tables that would clue me in? Would having a custom table prefix affect it at all?

[Sarah Gooding]

You can change the default tab open by editing your wp-config.php file. Add this:

`define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘forum’ );`

This info is from the documentation: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

@johnjamesjacoby Do you know anything about this? Are the setting such that you need to turn all the regular components off if you want to use the legacy components? Or is the plugin broken? The site I’m working on redirects to homepage for wall posts, and there seem to be some issues with friending as well.

[Sarah Gooding]

Hey @mwspr – I don’t have a plugin for that in the repository. I think maybe I posted one a long time ago in a blog post but I’m not actively maintaining it. I don’t know what fix you’re talking about but feel free to add it yourself and put it in the repo if you think other people might want it. I probably won’t be working on that one.

[Sarah Gooding]

Hello @Modemlooper ! Thanks for your plugin! I fixed it so that it tweets out the actual activity permalink url You can check out the fixed version here: http://wpmu.org/new-buddypress-tweet-button-plugin-download-here/ If you want to update yours at the reop, I’ll change the download link to point to your plugin at the repo. I was experimenting with this yesterday, so was happy to see you made it into a plugin!

[Sarah Gooding]

Sorry to bump this. I think it got lost in the shuffle. Anyone every had this error with friend requests?

[Sarah Gooding]

@jeremyltn Super! I know a lot of people will be excited about this. Thanks!

[Sarah Gooding]

Thanks It’s there: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/

[Sarah Gooding]

@satanas147 Thanks for that. I did not think about people who don’t have Friends enabled. I will add that to the next version.

This fix worked for me:
Go to: phpmyadmin > yourdatabase > wp_bp_groups_groupmeta

Find the group you’re attempting to post to and then delete the forum_id value. Go back to your group on the front end. When logged in as admin of the group, go to settings and re-enable your forums. It will save a new forum_id for you and your posts should start working. This is a solution for BuddyPress groups that are starting a fresh new forum, not for groups with forums that have existing posts.

The plugin has been added to the WP repository. You can find it here with a few updates: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/

[Sarah Gooding]

@jeremyltn Are you going to add your plugin to the repo? I tested it out tonight on WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.4.1 and it didn’t work for me. So I changed the post URL and then it works. However, it updates the page with a warning about headers already having been sent from the BuddyPress messaging component, which I’m not sure how to fix. Anyway, I’m writing a blog and linking to your plugin, offering it for download with the updated post URL. I know a lot of BuddyPress people would love it if you added it to the repo- People are always looking for this. Thanks for the work you’ve done!

[Sarah Gooding]

Thanks everyone for testing it! If you’re having strange issues with your theme, then it’s probably something to do with your theme. I have made sure that it works with the default theme, but beyond that you may need to make some tweaks for your particular situation. I’ve also updated the plugin in recent days to display better quality avatars, as well as not to require any additions to your template in the install instructions, and a couple other minor things. I’m still waiting on the WordPress repo to give me approval for adding it over there. Once I get that, I’ll drop a note here so you can update to the latest version.

[Sarah Gooding]

Hey no problem. I specifically left out blogs and forum type links because not every site has those enabled for users. Glad you found it easy to customize. Thanks for giving it a try!
