I have now deactivated ALL plugins except Buddypress BBPress and Askimet.

Reran the repair tools for buddypress and bbpress.

Deleted the Groups page holder and emptied the trash.

Still forums redirect to nonsense permalinks and 404.

New update to “BuddyPress Follow” by Andy Peatling, r-a-y Version 1.2, fixes the issues for me.

Thank you guys

I tried everything I could think of, I found the “reply(#)” area in the “blogactivity-loop” and copied it to the index page, but it always shows “0”, I don’t know enough PHP to know if you have to call a function first or what makes it enter the correct number.

So i have changed it to a link that says “Click to See Comments” not that great but its a personal site and it at least makes sense and isn’t as confusing.

[@sparkey Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Yep, thats it. I didn’t follow the authors instructions, well until I wanted to edit the comment section it wasn’t necessary, I guess. Below is what the plugin author says:

“If needed: Copy and modified the /theme/activitycomments/ files to your default theme (important to keep the folder activitycomments into the root default theme directory)”

So I added the “activitycomments” folder to my child theme, and I am editting the file “activitycomments/blogactivity-comments.php”

‘

<?php
if ( post_password_required() ) :
echo ‘

‘ . __(‘Password Protected’, ‘buddypress’) . ‘

‘;
echo ‘

‘ . __(‘Enter the password to view comments.’, ‘buddypress’) . ‘

‘;
return;
endif;

if ( is_page() && !have_comments() && !comments_open() && !pings_open() )
return;
?>

<?php printf( __('You must be logged in to post a comment.’, ‘buddypress’), wp_login_url( get_permalink() ) ); ?>

‘

Thanks everybody for the help

I think I got it, it is maybe a plugin that I am using:

“BuddyPress Activity Stream as Blog Comments”

I haven’t found the place to edit yet but I have a new place to search!

[@sparkey Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Cool at least I’m surer about that whole cache thing, I haven’t added any cacheing.

And yes I work on local as you say, that is just what I have been doing.

I only tried the backend editor to see if it agreed with my file location.

Well I seem to be doing everything right but no change to output.

[@sparkey Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Thank you guys so much for getting back to me. I really want to straighten out this page, our visitors are commenting all over the place or not at all.

@Chouf1 Yes, that is line is what I am changing, but the output doesn’t change.

@Virtuali Yes, that is the location that I have been working on, there was no comments.php in my child theme folder so I was editing the one in bp-default, when editing that didn’t change the output, I added a comments.php file to my child theme, still no change to the output. I tested the backend theme editor, when I added the comments.php to the child theme that is the one that it started editing, where before it had been edting the comments.php in the bp-default folder.

Maybe there is some kind of cache system I can’t find, I know in Joomla when I get this frustrated, I remember the built in cache, I have cntl-f5ed it a couple times.?????

[@sparkey Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

So.. What are the rules on bumping here?

[@sparkey Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

@Chouf1

Thank you but… that file only goes up to line 360, I just double checked at :

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.7/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php

[@sparkey Participant 13 years, 9 months ago]

Where should I be looking for the comments.php file if not in the bp default theme.

Or maybe the page is constructed with functions?

I can’t find where some of these functions are defined either:’bp_before_blog_comment_form’

but I think that is the avatar or something and is probably not what I need but it might help if I knew where it was defined.

Thanks

I tried a test and edited comments.php through the backend theme editor, wordpress agrees with me, the file that it is editing is:
wp-content/plugins/bubbypress/bp-themes/bp-default/comments.php

but editing that file doesn’t affect the blog comments.

I’m sure this is just the standard WP blog if I understand all this correctly, I haven’t activated multiple blogs – I don’t seem to be using the BP blogs loop directory stuff at all.

Thanks
