Are you talking about uploading an avatar to buddypress.org?
If so, that’s a known bug on the site.

However, you can set your gravatar at gravatar.com and buddypress.org should pick it up.

Sounds like a problem with your “Suffusion” theme.

Can you switch to the BuddyPress Default theme to see what happens?

Re: moving standalone bbPress forums to BuddyPress group forums, I would recommend reading an excellent post by BP moderator, Boone Gorges:

Upgrading from BuddyPress 1.0 to 1.1

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

@johnwinch42 – If you’re just testing BuddyPress locally, I would just login to PHPMyAdmin and clear out your entire activity table so you won’t have to worry about redirections.

Like you mentioned, once you set the BP_ROOT_BLOG from the onset, you won’t have to worry about redirects whatsoever!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Read this and see if this fixes your problem:

@johnwinch42 – Can you try out the fix in this ticket?
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2604

I believe this will fix your problem, as your subdirectory install is located one level deeper than expected.

Have you changed your permalinks to something else?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_SubPanel

Set it to anything but the default.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

bp_is_member() works better.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

We can worry about redirects later, but does BuddyPress function well besides the old activity links?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Can you try removing the redirect rules from step (4)?

So, at the moment, what do you see when you go to /themainblog/network?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Ahh okay, wp-config.php is better actually.

Did you activate BuddyPress network-wide?
Also, did you enable the BuddyPress Default theme on blog id #9?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

First, you have to change all references to the strings you want to localize so your POT file knows where to reference them.
Then, you need to create a POT file.

Here’s a quick guide I found on Google using poEdit:

There are others of course!

If you have any Qs, reply back.

The sidebar, by default, allows you to login or create an account:
http://testbp.org

Also, did you enable registration on your BP install?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

You’re missing the BP_ROOT_BLOG define.

Can you quicky go over part (1) in the codex article and add that to your bp-custom.php?
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Hook into the “bp_adminbar_random_menu” action.

function my_random_article() {
echo 'YOUR LINK';
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_random_menu', 'my_random_article' );

Add to your theme’s functions.php.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

You need to create a file called “bp-custom.php” in /wp-content/plugins/.

Make sure you create the file with opening and closing PHP tags:

[?php

//the code

?]

Replace square brackets with triangular ones.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

First problem… try using an activity stream loop on your main blog:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

You’ll need to add the activity stream loop to your main blog theme.

Make sure BuddyPress is activated network-wide.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

bp-custom.php resides in /wp-content/plugins/, not /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/.

Also just to confirm, are you using a subdirectory install?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

But alas, you should be patting @johnjamesjacoby on the back for cleaning up my code and adding it to BP core

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Try the code in this thread to make the forums tab the default group tab:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults#post-55449

Removing the group home tab will probably need some additional code.
Or you can use some CSS to hide it.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

The thread was probably closed by me because of a duplicate discussion. We don’t want multiple threads talking about the same thing. Even if there is no satisfactory conclusion, a discussion can continue from the originating thread.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Use a language file.

Read the post I made just a few posts above.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Since you’re using the filter I posted, I would manually setup a group loop. Then in this loop, I would use the bp_core_fetch_avatar() function with the “html” parameter set to false (view the full function and parameter list in /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php).

Doing this will return the URL of the avatar, then you can manually define the width and height in an IMG tag.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

There’s a way to force group members into the group with Welcome Pack.

Add the following to your /wp-config.php file.
define( 'WELCOME_PACK_AUTOACCEPT_INVITATIONS', true );

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Sorry for replying late to this thread. I missed this one.
I’ll look into this when I have the time.
