BuddyPress.org

@wmsmart Just some advice but I think if you placed the topic on:
https://bbpress.org/forums/
You may get more help.

@unsalkorkmaz Nice! 🙂

@naturalworldstm,

can you give a site URL please ? Also do you use BP on a multisite or on a single WP ? What PHP version do you use ? And does your host provide gettext with PHP. ?
https://codex.wordpress.org/User:Ipstenu/How_to_create_a_phpinfo%28%29_page

Basically, the %s ago thing is a wordpress function – also used by BP on the activity time. If you already checked the BP part, and it seems ok according what you say above, i don’t know what happens so far.
This issue could be a mistake from the translator or something else directly handled by WordPress.

If you’re using WP 3.5.1, check the languages folder witch must contain the following files:

buddypress.mo

And WP’s default translation files:
es_ES.mo (for WP in spanish)
admin-es_ES.mo (dashboard)
admin-network-es_ES.mo (network dashboard)
continents-cities-es_ES.mo (a list of cities in your language, used for date/time setting in dashboard, not mandatory)

If you use bbPress 2.2.x, there should also being a folder /bbPress/ containing bbress-es_ES.mo

In wp-config.php you must have a line saying
define(”WPLANG’, ‘es_ES’);

If you use WP MS, you also have to set the network to your language in the Network Settings.

If you use a third party theme, it may contain his own /languages/ or /lang/ folder with a pot file at least. This file must be used to translate the theme.The theme translation mo file should be in this folder.

Some themes are sometimes delivered with .mo files. Unfortunatly, those additionnal mo files are rarely updated. So if the theme has a es_ES.mo or theme-es_ES.mo, you can use the pot file to check or update the theme  translation. In fact, in such case, the only file in witch you can trust, is the pot file. It also can be that the pot is not updated too, which means you have to recreate it from start, with a compiler such as poEdit….

This rule is also valuable for plugins.

At this point, i suspect a corrupted WP file. To eliminate this possibility, i would try the following.

Delete the whole wp-includes folder and upload a fresh copy of 3.5.1 via FTP
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/23897/tags/3.5.1?old_path=%2F&format=zip

If you use a previous version, go here:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags

Don’t use the right click to download something from Trac repo. Always click first on the file or folder name, and use the download button at the bottom of that page.

Think maybe you ought to address questions about the bbPress plugin to the bbpress forums, you’ll likely get a more informed response there.

@mercime thanks, makes everything a lot more simple by disabling the discussion component on buddypress. I also had a bug when activating ONLY the group forums with buddypress, for some reason it broke the group avatar uploader however this was fixed when I installed the site wide forums as well.

@palmdoc

Your config please ! host name,  BP, bbPress versions & plugin list

if you use a cache system, maybe clear it.
See also if your host doesn’t ban such terms.

ok i’m sorry for some reason i thought you had some other forum plugin already sorry for any confusion.

Also important to bear in mind that as of 1.7 the old BP bbPress integration to groups of a basic striped down forum offering is removed and ALL forum capabilities are handled by bbPress standalone plugin which offers a far better forum experience from the point of view of BP groups, so please take a moment to read through the codex on this subject to familiarise yourself with how forums work with BP.

@notpoppy,

remeber that you can install group forums AND a separate forum.

https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

@notpoppy,

the answer is YES.

bbPress is a forum plugin that can be used separetly from buddypress. If you need extra features, bbPess has also some plugins.

Learn more about this plugin here: https://bbpress.org/

@mattg123 yes -> https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

@danny80 You can list all the forums in a page by using the forums shortcode [bbp-forum-index] – This will display your entire forum index https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

bbPress plugin support at https://bbpress.org/forums/

You’re would to need to find this ruleset:
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: #000;
}

and change the background color as demonstrated but it’s going to be a little trickier than that probably requiring you to copy the bbpress stylesheet to your theme to modify.

This though is a question for bbPress forums not BuddyPress bbp is a separate plugin from BP and has it’s own styles. You will find more info and help on their forum.

Hi, I’m having issues similar to @isisjade

can I confirm that bbpress, will handle group forums as well as main forums on its own? I have disabled the discussion forum component of buddypress, and the group forums r still active with just bbpress running.

thanks

@fede1 @chouf1 the process posted in following link is easy https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

I had just come across a thread yesterday on the BuddyPress site about how to edit our header, footer, etc. PHP files so that BuddyPress would work

@nasc generally, that would be the case if you were still on BP 1.6.5 or below. BP 1.7 beta and RC versions should automagically insert BP template files into your theme if your theme adheres to the WP templating system otherwise it won’t work.

One way to resolve this is to create a file named buddypress.php which you would need to upload your theme’s folder in server. buddypress.php should contain the HTML structure of a page with sidebar or full-width (up to you and the theme author) as well as the_title() and the_content()

As an aside, if you’re going to have bbPress sitewide/group forums, you would need a bbpress.php file as well. Copy the content of the buddypress.php file into bbpress.php and upload the latter into theme’s folder in server as well.

is there any buddy press based website that i can check out fully using all the features or a full BP live demo?

@istvankob sure there is http://testbp.org/ where you can create an account and check out the default installation (BP trunk, bbPress trunk, on Twenty Twelve theme) as a regular member of the site.

@isisjade Where is BuddyPress activated? In main site (default) or did you define it to work in subsite? Did you activate BuddyPress in main/subsite or did you activate it sitewide? By the same token did you activate bbPress where BuddyPress is activated (main/subsite)?
