BuddyPress.org

Thank you @slaffik

@smartchap16 That plugin won’t work on moving/changing activity stream updates to group forum topics. You’d either have to code this yourself, or hire a developer to do so.

I am having the same problem. New multisite with latest WP and BP and no other plugins. I installed buddypress on network admin, but didn’t network activate. I then activate BP on a subsite, click settings and get the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”. There was no installation wizard banner, and I couldn’t find anything under either network admin dashboard, or the subsite dashboard for buddypress setup.

God I nearly lost my mind over this rediculous bug…going into desperate mode.
I had uninstalled, reinstalled all the group forums. I checked the bb-config, noticed that it did not have same database settings in it so deleted it. Went back to Buddypress settings > Forums and reinstalled a fresh group forum.
Then I tried posting a topic and it was STILL not working, when I finally found the tip here to uncheck, save the settings page, switched to Avatar, back to settings, checked the forum for that group again. Saved the settings once more and went to forums > new topic.
Finally I managed to post a topic.

But now guess what, the group forum uses no rich text editor. I cannot add html tags, not implement videos, pictures or anything else it’s just a boring plain topic poster.

Also it gives no function to subforums to organize your content properly so in fact all you get is a group > forums > topics. Which leaves a huge mess if you have a large fandom.

Now I’m wondering seriously…I did all those troubles went nearly depressed over this freeking thing only to find out it will probably not even be used because with a phpBB board as a proper forum and half of the social network functions not working who would want to?

So then we go to the option of using Sidewide forums, which is better because of the rich html text editor. But which lacks a certain amount of necesarry functionalities.

Like show unread posts, yes I am aware of the plugin BP Unread Posts from Pippin, but unfortunately this one does not work for sidewide topics. It’s supposed to show a link unread posts on the bbpress profile site, which does not excist anymore because it’s automatically replaced by the buddypress profile site and that one does not show show unread posts link anywhere.

If you check the forum tabs in your buddypress profile, you’ll notice that topics you post on the sitewide forum are not reconized. Leaving the profile page by saying you have no replies, no forums, no favorites added, if you have an active sidewide forum.

Now where is the use in that?

I loved the idea of buddypress, with a bbpress forum inside. I thought it was brilliant, that with the achievements plugin, gifts rebirth plugin, links plugin, media plugin, that I could actually build a great multimedia site offering something to my users that had never been offered before.

But instead I’m growing rather desperate running from one bug to another and having no idea how to fix these troubles. I’ve been trying for over a week now to get everything working…

And it’s still not even near to complete

I had this one as well it’s quite easy to fix really. The only trouble your having is that when you installed Buddypress it installed a forum page with permalink domain/forum <– being forum slug. Which was assigned to the group forum in the database.
You need to delete the complete page, also delete from trash, make a new page name it forum and it should be working with bpp-forum-index then.
I myself fixed it this way I made two forums; forums remaining to be the group forums and then I made a page Discussion forums and named it forum-2 then I set the base and slug in the bbpress settings on forum-2 and it was working again. Both group and sitewide.

I don’t want to discourage anyone from creating BuddyPress themes but version 1.7 is very close and you don’t need to go through special hoops to create a theme for BuddyPress. BP 1.7 will work with any theme. The template files in 1.7 are minimally designed to fit inside existing WP themes. You can then add a few more styles to your WP theme to make the BP template files look even better with your theme.

You can test out the new way BuddyPress theming will work: https://github.com/paulgibbs/turtleshell

The easiest way to get rid of the tabs is to simply “display: none;” using CSS.

Alternatively, you can hook into “bp_setup_nav” like this: http://www.themightymo.com/2012/01/26/how-to-add-remove-and-change-the-order-of-buddypress-component-menu/

1) Do you need functionality beyond the avatar upload that comes with BuddyPress?
2) Start with a child theme of the default theme – don’t build one from scratch.
3) Very active.

mine site was working fine but i don’t what happened it’s stopped showing all the activity
i am using a custom theme

Rocio, did you do this with Buddypress 1.5.5 or 1.6?

@MickeyRoush
Thankyou very much, I’ll check these up, seems like it could be what we need…

@marutim You’re welcome. Thank you for confirming it worked

@ronnie_fantastic You’re welcome. Glad you’ve resolved issues on your own. Some finishing touches to your stylesheet you might like to consider:

`
Add these to bottom of stylesheet:

div.item-list-tabs ul li {
background-image: none;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 5px;
}
div#subnav.item-list-tabs {
border-bottom: 0;
}
.padder div.pagination {
margin: 0 !important;
}

CHANGE
div.item-list-tabs ul li:first-child {
margin-left: 15px !important;
}
to
div.item-list-tabs ul li:first-child {
margin-left: 0 !important;
}`
