BuddyPress.org

Wo! Thanks for the response @modemlooper

Does that qualify as a bug? I mean on the one hand you’re allowed to alter slugs very easily but on the other hand, that will generate immediate broken links in an otherwise very important component of buddypress, namely the activity feed.

In any case, I felt I bothered everyone enough, and the idea of creating a script is way beyond my capabilities, so what I did was revert the slug back to groups. I changed the language file as instructed and so the user sees the new name I chose to replace “groups” everywhere except for in the URL which is fine. Better that than to have 404 errors generated by the activity feed!!

Thanks so much for your help and feedback! You too @aces !

@mercime @djpaul hi! i still get the error with bp default.

i turned off JS, still a problem. so very strange!

Really? Damn. Thanks for the input though @modemlooper. Next question I suppose is how would I go about learning how to do something like that?

@modemlooper said 4 days, 6 hours ago:
To change slugs you change the page name and URL for that page in the WordPress admin.

That worked perfectly. Almost. It seems that links in the activity feed still reference “groups” as opposed to the new slug so for instance the link should be something like this:

http://www.mysite.com/newslugforgroups/groupname/forum/topic/newforumpost/

instead the groups slug somehow persists and reads like this:

http://www.mysite.com/groups/groupname/forum/topic/newforumpost/

And this above link generates a 404 page not found error.

Old slug: groups
New slug: newslugforgroups

This seems to only occur in the activity feed – everywhere else, your suggestion seems to work just fine.

I deactivated all the plugin and activated them one by one. it was the suffusion bp pack that made them dupicate. I got this from one of there guys

When I look at your site, the javascript throw 2 errors: “XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. Origin http://mysite.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.” It is like buddypress from your site tried to access something on another site (or like buddypress don’t see that your site is really yours). Maybe some redirections on your site break the things, or some settings on your server block the cross server javascripts. You can try to add in your .htaccess file the line:

So they’re saying that its not the theme or bp plugin, bp plugin did caused the duplicating post when i did the plugins one by one. I cant post text but with bp activity plus, i cant post images and links. Im so confused.

Here is the story Paul. I run a normal buddypress install on my website http://tinyurl.com/cuq6axy. If you go to the 2nd menu item in the main top nav (sorry it’s in French), you’ll see a list of users. The admin of the site did add a bunch of these users from the WP dashboard. But when a user is published in this section from buddypress, it doesn’t display the extra custom fields created nor does it carry the unfilled fields (for later editing) from the registration form which is here http://tinyurl.com/9aqtbez. How can I synchronize all the fields and make them appear on these users profiles or when they edit their profile they still have the fields which were not mandatory but not filled still appear?

Does this explanation makes sense to you or anyone there?

@mercime Excellent! Thank you!

Thanks @modemlooper

I was able to comment out the entire form with /* and */, but the user is still directed to a general settings page (that is now blank except for the title “General Settings”). Granted this is better than having the password and email field, but is there a way for me to bypass that tab and go straight to the notifications?

Also, I have settings checked in the admin panel because I want the user to be able to change the notification and privacy preferences. Is that correct?

I’m not sure why I didn’t think of this before, but I could just hide the tab in CSS (like I did previously) and then use a 301 redirect match in my htaccess from settings to settings/notifications. Huh, is that a viable way to achieve this?

Thank you guys for your help. It helped me make sense of this.

Hello?! Times someone answers?

Here is my style file header:

`/*
Theme Name: Apart2
Theme URI: http://www.bascek.com
Description: Another WP theme.
Author: Gokhan Ozturk
Version: 1.0
Tags: buddypress
*/`

I don’t think that any file is missing since everything works fine except BuddyPress.

Is there a way to debug this issue?
