BuddyPress.org

If you disabled search engines from indexing your site (under “Settings > Reading” in the WP dashboard), then bbPress will not add any activity entries to the site.

Here’s a ticket I posted on the bbPress site about this:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2151

To override this behavior, add the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php:
add_filter( 'bbp_is_site_public', '__return_true' );

Thanks for the bug report, Peter.

I have confirmed your issue and have added a ticket here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4999

The ticket has a patch that will add back the “Forums” tab so you can configure the old legacy forums.

Moving forward, the legacy forums will not be the preferred option and you should look to use the bbPress plugin.

Check out this codex article for more info:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/using-bbpress-2-2-with-buddypress/

@vivianag4 After activating bbPress plugin, go to Settings > Forums and set up the Forums then click Save.

Yeah I got group forums right now

@thapharm were these group forums set up in previous version of BuddyPress (1.6.5 below) or were your group forums set up per instructions in link provided by Chouf1? If set up in BP 1.6.5 below using the old internal forums, then you have the option to keep it as is and then install bbPress plugin for the sitewide forums or port over the group forums into the bbPress plugin forums per https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/ Whatever option you take, always backup database and server files so that you can always revert if something goes awry.

yeah idk maybe something is up with your network i have it enabled on only on the root site. works fine and shows up in the control list. pretty sure i read somewhere about network vs single site enabling for bbpress before in the documentation somewhere I’m 99.9% our situation is not a fluke maybe @jjj can settle it :/

well i use a plugin called Multisite Plugin Manager to control what plugins people can see or not.

posting at the same time 😛 i just double checked we have it set up exactly the way you say it shouldn’t work at gotgame dot com buddypress network activated, bbpress only activated on the root site.

i think what you would want to do is not network activate bbpress, could have sworn you can do that.

eddit: yeah i just double checked we have it set up exactly the way you say it should n’t work at gotgame dot com buddypress network activated, bbpress only activated on the root site.

Hey Joss!

You might be interested in the Pro-Sites plugin, if you don’t already use that in your network.
Via that plugin, you can set the bbPress plugin to nobody which disables it throughout the network except for you as super admin to activate/deactivate.

@mamasaywhat this codex instruction for sitewide and group forums? https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Btw, you mentioned that you’ve been working on the BuddyPress project over and over for around a year, did you by any change install the old BuddyPress group forums then? If so, that’s what is causing the warnings. You’d need to read this https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/

As for the BP pages, I see no glaring issue at http://www.mamasaywhat.com/members/coreyp/

@rgkeenan sure, you should post at the bbPress forums. Check first if it’s not a theme issue. If you change to twenty twelve theme, is issue resolved? Have you tried re-uploading bbPress manually, to make sure that all bbPress files are in your server?

@felixrami

• my best suggestion is to try and reinstall WordPress and BuddyPress & bbPress manually via ftp.
• If that doesn’t work, you’re best bet is to reinstall the most recent versions of those (before the upgrade of course) and then upload your most recent .sql backup via phpmyadmin to restore your site pre-upgrade.
• Once your site is back online, you can check your server logs for errors and report them here for assistance in finding the core issue and a best practice solution to implement to overcome it.
• Then definitely move everything to a localhost so that you can try to replicate the issue

Also, when you try to replicate the issue on your localhost, try to upgrade without any other plugins activated to see if there is a conflict with any of your plugins and the update. You can also search for “buddypress + {your plugin name here}” for each of your plugins that haven’t issued an update since buddypress 1.7, as they could possibly be the culprit.

I hope this helps and good luck with restoring your site. It can be stressful, but you’ll get it bud.

Hi, I get a WPMU 3.5.1 and tried to upgrade to BuddyPress to last version. Now I get a white screen of death in my home http://www.dealermarket.net but the other sites run fine, by instance http://www.dealermarket.net/actualidad

I cannot access to my Super admin network area:
http://dealermarket.net/wp-login.php
http://dealermarket.net/wp-admin/network.php … Error HTTP 500

or even throught Network Admin dashboard. So what should I to do?, before touch anything. I see in any site dashboard, at Plugin section, two Buddypress versions 1.6.1 and 1.7.1. Also I have removed the ../plugin/buddypress/ folder but the problem persist. Just one thing more, I upgraded bbpress before BP, at v.2.3.2

Note: I would need while fix it a solution to refresh/redirect from home site to another site to stay alive.

Thanks a lot.,
Felix

Nice. If you figure out a problem plugin, let us know or create a trac ticket on https://bbPress.trac.WordPress.org 🙂

Hey Guys..

Am having the exact same problem. Just did an update to BBpress this morning and situation did not improve at all. Should we be having this convo over on BBPress forums maybe.
