BuddyPress.org

I’ve noticed under permalinks wordpress is complaining about access to the .htaccess file

@rigormortis_uk Did you change to a new theme or add any new plugins recently? Revert to old theme or Twenty Twelve theme and deactivate all other plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress then run Settings > Permalinks again.

I just installed Buddypress today, the latest version and for some reason when I write on the activity stream it says 6 hours ago.

Looks like this could be the same issue even with the update. Any simple way to fix this issue? Thanks.

If you’re having issues with embeds in bbPress forums, the best place to report any issues or discussion is, of course, the bbPress.org support forums 😉

Are you removing support for that provider (soundcloud) anywhere? if you take a look in class-oembed.php – soundcloud is supported and looks as though it has been since WP 2.9

When accessing bbPress in WP templates you use bbPress template tags. bp_has_forum_topics will only work in BP templates.

if ( bbp_has_topics( '&author=' . bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) :

Do you have bbPress forums turned on for groups? What template are you placing code into?

When I then activate my theme all works but the bbpress forum root – this again resolves as my blog archive, which is the same issue as reported in the thread link I posted earlier.

@antonyc it’s a theme issue then. Are you sure that you have the latest version of your Dynamix theme that’s supposed to be compatible with BP 1.8.1? If not, then you would have to update your theme. If you have an updated theme, then contact theme author or post in theme’s forums to resolve the issue.

@antonyc Disable all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and keep it on Twenty Twelve/Thirteen. If you’re going to change forum archive slug and create a new Page with the same new forums archives slug, you would have to re-run Permalinks again.

if its slug is different to the Forum Root Slug in the settings page

What exactly is your forum archive slug – Forums or Discussions? Not sure how could it have the same slug as archive page unless you named the forum root “Archive”.
– try creating a new page named Discussions and publish
– go to Settings > bbPress and set the forum archive slug to discussions
– now go edit Discussions page and add the bbPress shortcode
– open up the page e.g. example.com/discussions/

Unfortunately I couldn’t migrate bbpress to buddypress and so deleted bbpress (and my buddypress forums) to go for a fresh install.

No migration needed, both plugins work together https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

My issue is that when I navigate to the root forum directory it returns my WP archives page!

If you followed instructions from link above, what slug do you have for your forum archive? Did you create a page specifically with that slug for your forum index and added shortcodes to show all forums and/or topics

@ladydekade
You will also want to add this below the above code so it covers bbPress!

add_filter('bp_get_the_topic_title', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'pccf_filter');

In that list of swear words you may find a few words with a semi-colon(;) after them. You will need to remove those semi-colons as all is required is a comma to separate the words. You can also add other swear words to that list if it missed any! Cheers!

@jiminps
Even though the first question deals with bbPress the answer is it depends on what you mean by capabilities. You can can assign user roles like keymaster, moderator, participant, spectator, or blocked.
Yes, private messages can be sent and received. If you only want messages to be sent between a member and the admin that would require use of a plugin, or some custom code but it can be done!
Hope that answers your questions!

hi @trinzia,

don’t ask here about YOUR security settings ! We are not reading in chicken guts or in cristal bowls. 😉

Also, if you use BP 1.8+, a solution given over a year back cannot work (most of time)

See here an old discussion with a recent answer (2 mounth) – has patch.

But before to do something, check your WP settings if comments are allowed and/or if comments are allowed for your test post (sorry for this, but… nobody’s perfect ! 😀 )

Also, if you cheched site indexing by robots (settings > reading) it may be possible that the comments won’t show up on the activity wall.
Encountered this a few mounth back with bbPress forum answers on a bp 1.7/bbp 2.3 install

@shaungreen
I am not sure I am following you but if you deactivated that plugin and a new user can register and activate an account and login successfully then this is not a BP or bbPress issue. It needs to be taken up on that plugins support forum if you insist on using this plugin. Otherwise you may want to look into alternatives! I have used:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-force-profile/
It forces a user to complete the required xprofile fields before they can interact with the site and seem like a good deterrent against spam registrations.

@shaungreen
What plugin? Try my advise above by deactivating all plugins other than BP and bbPress. You need to use a process of elimination to determine if the plugin is causing the issue. Moderating memberships won’t do you much good if even after approving the user the activation fails.

@shaungreen
It will help if you provide the plugin that is responsible for keeping the registration in moderation because BP doesn’t hold registrations for approval by default. Whatever that plugin is, try deactivating it as well as all other plugins except BP and bbPress and test the registration/activation.
