hi @rukiax

have you tried to activate another theme ? You’re actually using bp-default, and BP 2.x doesn’t use it by default.

You have probably missed a setting somewhere, because the profile link is blank:
http://daklub.tk/members/rukia/
When going to
http://daklub.tk/members/
wich normally shows the members directory, we go to the forum (accordingly your breadcrumb)
Home › Forums › Members

In any case, you have to create a page called members, for internal purpose only. If this page doesn’t exist you can’t see memebers directory and profiles correctly.

I suggest you to deactivate BP & bbPress, than activate Twenty Fourteen, redo your BP settings and permalinks and finally reactivate bbPress and set it as site wide forum.

Installation

Forget bp-default, or if you absolutely want it, read here the chapter about legacy

Installing BuddyPress Themes

bbP is now 2.5, but you can also read here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/using-bbpress-2-2-with-buddypress/

@joshjackc Deactivate the bbPress forum plugin by going to admin menu Plugins > Installed and click on the “Deactivate” link. Messaging and Status/Actvitity Streams are BuddyPress components, not bbPress.

@joshjackc Have you deactivated bbPress?

@petervandoorn

I also have this problem running WordPress 3.9.1, BuddyPress 2.0.1 and BBPress 2.5.4. It’s only been the case since I moved over to BBPress for forums.

I’m happy to help anyone who’s trying to fix this apparent bug.

These other threads appear to be relevant:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bugs-between-bbpress-and-buddypress/ (@jboye, @johnjamesjacoby)

@jarith Marking this topic as resolved.

As to removing the “Private” and “Protected” prefices, you could try adding bbPress forum conditional to your function or to the one Konstantin (first comment in that post) posted
e.g.

if ( class_exists('bbPress') ) {
      if ( is_bbpress() ) {
         // do this
      }
}

Undoubtedly, you’ll get additional support at the bbPress forums 🙂

@payra123 I moved your post by creating a new topic. Please do not post in old threads which are months or years old.

downloaded buddypress 2.0.1 for using forum on my site

If you only need a forum, please download bbPress instead https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/
You’ll find installation and usage information at https://codex.bbpress.org/

after uploading i cant able to open my site and wordpress login php also showing blank

Please delete the BuddyPress folder from wp-content/plugins/ in your server.

Excellent, I’m glad it’s fixed 🙂

I’m not sure the exact cause of the issue either but I will dig around in our code and see what’s going on, one confirmed issue is the bbPress “Group Forums” repair tool so I’ll get that fixed and then take a closer look at group forum permalinks.

Presuming your forums are under the f1 parent in my previous post a couple of options to try:

First potential solution:

With your group forum that is broken create a new bbPress eg test under the f1 parent forum and then either via the front end or backend change that BuddyPress Group forum to point to the new ‘test’ forum you just created.

What happens when you visit this group forum? Does it work as expected it should?

Now go back and change the group back to the correct bbPress forum, does this fix it?

Second solution if the first above does not work. Whilst BuddyPress is deactivated edit the bbPress forum permalink so that it matches the same URL structure as your BuddyPress Group that does work.

Does this fix it?

Ok, we’re closer, looks like the correct bbPress forum ID is correctly associated with the BuddyPress Group 🙂

It looks like the slug/permalink is broken 🙁

Before looking at a fix, a clarification if I could

Here is my bbPress Forums Hierarchy Structure Layout

 
BuddyPress Forums Category (Top Level Category)
— BuddyPress Public Group Forum (Forum)
— BuddyPress Hidden Group Forum (Forum)
— BuddyPress Private Group Forum (Forum)

In bbPress Settings (Settings -> bbPress) (/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress)

 
“BuddyPress Integration” -> “Group Forums Parent” is set as “BuddyPress Forums Category”

My bbPress settings for forum slugs are:

 
– Forum Root Slug -> forums
– Forum Prefix -> Check/Tick
– Single Forum Slugs -> Forum -> forum

So my URL’s are build with the “forum root slug” then the “forum single slug” then “BuddyPress Forums Category” and lastly the actual forum “BuddyPress Public Group Forum” which results in:

/forums/forum/buddypress-forums-category/buddypress-public-group-forum/

Now onto your URL’s:

Yours with bbPress forum ID 127650

 
/forums/forum/forums-2/f1/correct-group-name/

Yours with bbPress forum ID 127628

 
/forums/forum/forums-2/name-of-another-group/

These infer the following:

 
forums-2
— f1
— — correct-group-name
— name of another group

With your settings:

 
“BuddyPress Integration” -> “Group Forums Parent” is set as “forums-2”
– Forum Root Slug -> forums
– Forum Prefix -> Check/Tick
– Single Forum Slugs -> Forum -> forum

As long as the quote/code formatting displays as expected is this what your bbPress forums layout hierarchy looks like?

EDIT: Tweaked the formatting above and just trying to digest where the forums-2 comes from and why it is there, the f1 no doubt is part of the incorrect forum slug that we can get to with the fix, I’ve got to go dig through some source code of bbPress & BuddyPress to workout where things are broken and how to fix it.

There are two locations you can edit the bbPress Group forum associated with a BP Group:

Frontend:
http://example.com/groups/buddypress-public-group/admin/forum/
Navigate to the groups ‘home page’ -> Admin -> Forum
(Where ‘buddypress-public-group’ is the name of the group forum)

Backend:
http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-groups&gid=1&action=edit
Wp-Admin Dashboard -> Groups -> ‘BuddyPress Public Group’ -> Edit
(Where ‘gid=1’ is the group forum ID)

Each of those screens should show both a checkbox and a dropdown menu showing the available bbPress Forums to associate with that particular BuddyPress Group.

Do both show the correct/expected bbPress forum selected?
(If you think any of the forum names in these dropdowns is ambiguous view the HTML source of the dropdown and each forum should also have a value= form field and that will be the ID of the bbPress forum)

However I do note that on the forums page although the ‘Edit’ button shows the correct forums_id values for each forum, the ‘View’ button shows an incorrect link for the problematic forum.

Hmmm… To continue using my same examples I have thus far, the bbPress Forum I am using has an ID of 25 and it’s edit link is http://example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=25&action=edit, it’s view link is http://example.com/groups/buddypress-public-group/forum/. Because BuddyPress is activated we add some redirection bits and pieces so we cannot directly modify the bbPress forum permalink whilst BuddyPress is activated.

If you deactivate BuddyPress for a moment and check the view link of the same bbPress forum it should be similar to http://example.com/forums/forum/buddypress-forums-category/buddypress-public-group-forum/ where in my case buddypress-forums-category is the bbPress parent forum category that all by BuddyPress group forums are located under and buddypress-public-group-forum is the bbPress forum.

So comparing my examples above do you see anything in your config that differs that matches up with your URL mismatch somewhere….

Clear as mud all of the above 😉

Also did you try updating via the ‘Group Forums’ Edit Screen UI?

It should be correctly updating the bbPress Forum there for your BuddyPress Group, did it? did you try?

As per your original post you are using bbPress v2.5.4, the bb_forums table are part of the legacy BuddyPress Group Forums/bbPress v1.x Forums.

bbPress 2.x no longer uses these tables, all of bbPress 2.x forums, topics and replies are in the wp_posts table as custom post types.

If you look in the bbPress Forums panel and hover your mouse over or edit one of the forums you will see the post ID in the URL, you will find that (educated guessing here) that most of your forums have a six digit ID’s?

Each of those ID’s should correspond to the bbPress 2.x Forum attached to each BuddyPress Group Forum as you see in your wp_groups_groupmeta table.

So if you look in the wp_groups_groupmeta table at your group ID 26 and that 127650 value does NOT match the bbPress forum ID you expect it should match.

Grab the correct bbPress forum ID and write down the current ID if you need to revert, bakcup your database etc etc) then update that value and I think you should be sorted.

Thinking about this further by updating the bbPress forum associated with the BuddyPress Group via the BuddyPress Groups edit should update the value in wp_bp_groups_groupmeta as I outlined above.

Before you try the MySQL direct approach above could you try editing the group and seeing if the the bbPress forum ID is updated correctly please.

Dashboard -> Groups -> Edit Group

Then, on the far right is a dropdown to select the bbPress forum associated with the BuddyPress group, if you change this does it update forum_id in wp_bp_groups_groupmeta with the correct bbPress forum ID?

It looks like there is a bug in bbPress’ repair tool 🙁

If you grab the bbPress forum ID e.g. 25

Open up wp_bp_groups_groupmeta

You should see something similar to this:

id	group_id	meta_key	meta_value	
1	1	total_member_count	2
2	1	last_activity	2014-06-26 00:37:33
3	1	invite_status	members
4	2	total_member_count	1
5	2	last_activity	2013-11-03 10:35:12
6	2	invite_status	members
7	3	total_member_count	1
8	3	last_activity	2013-11-03 10:37:53
9	3	invite_status	members
10	1	forum_id	a:1:{i:0;i:25;}
11	2	forum_id	a:1:{i:0;i:27;}
12	3	forum_id	a:1:{i:0;i:29;}

So for group group ID 1 the bbPress forum ID 25 is stored as a:1:{i:0;i:25;} (serialized array), thus change the 25 to the correct bbPress forum ID you need.

I’ll go write up a fix for bbPress repair tools for the next release 🙂

BuddyPress uses bbPress for forums.
So you want to import into bbPress.
Try asking bbpress support.

@bluesharp It would help if you provide more information about your installation because what’s happening with your installation is not the norm. Where are you hosted – locally or on shared/vps/dedicated hosting? Have you deactivated all plugins except BP/bbPress ?

@bp-help … thank you for the code snips but can you clarify the last remove action is correct … e.g., remove_action( 'groups_action_group_feed', 'groups_action_group_feed',3 ); shouldn’t this be use the bp_actions thus instead be this – remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'groups_action_group_feed',3 ); ..??..

also, i noticed that with respect to bbPress, the topics and contents show in the feed – e.g., site.com/forums/feed/ shows the feed titles with some content (maybe excerpt or maybe full text not sure as my test site only has one liners) …

accordingly, how can we hide the forum feeds … e.g., i thought maybe adding lines like this might work but they did not –

remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bbp_display_topics_feed_rss2',3      );
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bbp_display_replies_feed_rss2()',3      );

thanks in advance for any pointers you can share – especially with blocking bbPress Forum Topic contents – site.com/forums/feed/ … cordially, chuck scott

So, I’ve been combing these forums for weeks for a very similar problem, and being that this is the closest solution post, I thought I would ask here, extending the support for this problem.

I would like to redirect users during login in the following manner:

If logging in from the front page (site, not user): redirect to user profile
If logging in from anywhere else: redirect to original url (where original url is the url where the login process was initiated)

Currently I am forced to run the following for backwards compatibility reasons:
WP: 3.7.3
php: 5.3.10
bbPress: 2.5.3
BuddyPress: 1.9.2 +5 complimentary plugins

Active Plugins
45+ with the most relevant being:
BadgeOS: 1.3.5 +4 complimentary plugins
Bowe Codes: 2.1
BP My Home: 2.0
BP RedirecttoProfileforBuddypress: 1.2
BP Simple Front End Post: 1.1.4
BuddyBlog: 1.0.4

I’ve tried to edit the redirect plugin mentioned often here as well as with no luck.

Here is a sample of one of my latest attempts (a modification on redirect to profile plugin):

add_filter("login_redirect","bpme_redirect_to_profile",100,3);

function bpme_redirect_to_profile( $redirect_to_calculated, $redirect_url_specified, $user ){
	/* if no redirect was specified,let us think we want the current page */
	if( empty( $redirect_to_calculated ) )
		$redirect_to_calculated=$redirect_url_specified;
	
	/* if the user is site admin or not and it's the front page,redirect to his/her profile */
	if( is_super_admin( $user->ID ) && is_front_page() )
		return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) . 'profile/';
	if( !is_super_admin( $user->ID ) && is_front_page() )
		return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) . 'profile/';
	else
		return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/

}

(I recognize that the admin user check is redundant, that was part of some debugging I was doing)

I find that every time I try to check for the front page, something happens to interrupt the redirect process. Without a check for front page: Working great! With the check for front page: No Bueno! I’ve been using several debugging plugins and if I understand them correctly, most of the issue has to do with the sidebar login location (it seems to ignore wp_login and login_redirect hooks/filters) and checking for the front page.

I tried many other plugins and most of the code (with minor adjustments for my needs) that was offered on the forums here, including the Ajax one, but most of our login process is done through the sidebar and they just don’t ever get called or triggered during the sidebar login process.

I would love some advice on how to adjust what I have and get it working properly.

Your help is appreciated, thanks!

Yes, clearing history and cache seemed to work for me. I am still in the development stages of my site, but I feel good (enough) about my hypothesis and am not freaking out when I run into the “no activity found” message – so far, every time I reset my browsers it restores the activity. If you find different results, please post.

For front-end stuff, I’m using WP-toolset ( http://wp-types.com/ ). I’m not sure that this is best, but without a formal (“paid for”) coding education this is what I choose. I think buddypress and bbpress will do the job for me for now.

@peipooh Strange. Have not seen this issue. You might want to do some basic troubleshooting https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/
If that doesn’t work and if you are having issues only in your forums and not in blog posts or Activity Streams, etc. please post at the bbPress foruns.
