BuddyPress.org

I am having the same problem with my button not appearing on my new site I started building last week, HippieNations.com, but, I am not using the BP Menus, or any of the other plugins you have listed. I used BP Compatibility to make a non BuddyPress theme BuddyPress. I think I remember somewhere it asked me if I wanted the button or to hit enter and I chose to hit enter, but, that was the wrong choice I think. I don’t remember where I saw that though and I can’t find it again. I also thought maybe it was some kind of permission error too maybe. I will keep trying to figure it out.

@pataphor open up your theme’s header.php with a text editor, copy all code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

where did you add the code to make it work?

I found a way to make the default page for members to be the profile page.
`http://www.buddyboss.com/making-profile-the-default-landing-page-in-buddypress/`
and
`https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/`

Have you changed the theme template to remove the walled garden hook?

With Your function there should be something like “ in the header.php ….

An alternative way is to load it on a bp hook as in https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-do-i-make-buddypress-1-6-a-private-community/#post-136021 ( Note:
The function can be put into bp-custom.php though that example puts it into a plugin )

BuddyPress all of the theme compatibility code that’s in bbPress. We’ve not left any of that out. I’m not sure what you mean.

Odd. akismet_test_mode() is a function provided by Akismet. I’ve just downloaded the Akismet plugin and it still exists, so.. maybe your BuddyPress was loading from your Akismet. I’ve not run into this before.

I’m using WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.6.1. I think they are the latest versions.
It’s a single site.
I’m hosted at Bluehost.
I started the website by downloading WordPress then immediately downloading Buddypress.
I have deactivated all other plugins except Buddypress and bbpress, and yes, I went back to the default theme.
My registration page has been giving me problems. At first it was a blank page but I figured out how to get the registration to at least show up (the blank page was from conflicting plugins). Now I can fill in all of my information on the registration page but when I press “complete sign up,” it refreshes the page back to the registration page with all of my info still filled in except my password. No account is created. No email is sent.
I have registration enabled and have tried registering as not just a “member” but some of the other ones. I have tried different themes, deactivating all of the plugins, and trying to find someone who knows what is wrong. I’m new to buddypress so I’m not sure what to really do.

@trsabuis help us help you. Do provide more information about your installation. To begin with:
– WP/BP versions?
– Single/Multisite?
– Where are you hosted? Windows/Linux/etc server?
– Is this a new installation or did you add BuddyPress to an existing WP install?
– Have you changed to bp-default theme and deactivated all other plugins except BuddyPress?
– What exactly is the error in your installation? At what point did the error show up?
– What are the steps you’ve taken so far to troubleshoot the issue in your install?

or am I over thinking this?

Hugo, my answer was towards Roger’s question about having different areas on the external page template based on his requirements. It’s not meant to be a page router for everything as BP already does that.

Example: Like Roger, I want to have a sidebar on member profile pages only.

I don’t want to let BuddyPress use the `page.php` template as a default, so I’ll create a template file called `plugin-buddypress.php`.

BuddyPress will use `plugin-buddypress.php` instead of `page.php` for the skeleton. Like `page.php`, this new template file will need to include “ somewhere in the template as that is what BP looks for to inject our content.

Now, I only want to enable a sidebar for member profiles only.

So somewhere in `plugin-buddypress.php`, I’ll do something like this:

`<?php
// are we on a user profile page? if so load up our special members sidebar
if ( bp_is_user() ) :
get_template_part( ‘my-special-members-sidebar’ );
?>`

This will enable me to show a different sidebar on a user profile page only.

Hi @wpmirwin, this part of code above is from buddypress Notifcation manager plugin.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-notifications-manager/
mybe this plugin can help you.

this function hide the notifications subnav, and it should work in bp 1.5 and bp 1.6

function bp_hide_notifications_subnav(){
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->settings->slug, ‘notifications’);

if ( bp_use_wp_admin_bar() ) {
add_action( ‘wp_before_admin_bar_render’, create_function(
”, ‘global $bp, $wp_admin_bar; $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( “my-account-settings-notifications” );’ ) );
}
}

//if is not bp 1.5
if ( version_compare( BP_VERSION, ‘1.5’ ) < 0 )
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_hide_notifications_subnav’);
else
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_hide_notifications_subnav’ );

Can you try disabling W3 Total Cache to see if that solves your issue?
