Ok i Will try re-install buddypress.
Thanks for your help!
== Call to undefined function get_header() in /htdocs/myfolder/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/create.php ==
@dasteralo2 try re-uploading the BuddyPress plugin folder manually, via FTP/cpanel/filemananager etc. Also, I assume you’re using bp-default theme just to check out the functionality of BuddyPress. If you want to make any revisions, you should be create a child theme of bp-default theme and make the revisions in the child theme
@giannisff you can create a special template file named => home.php and upload it to your child/WP theme folder in server. You can create everything from `<!DOCTYPE ….. down to closing ` in that file. For example, no need to add get_header as long as you have the doctype, head, body tag and the code in that file. And same goes for get_footer as long as you have the closing body and html tags there
== The plugin buddypress/bp-loader.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist. ==
@prolet What Paul said. Activating BP Template Pack plugin wouldn’t in any way cause that error. We have successfully “template-packed” more than 80 WP themes in this forum alone https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
== BP version. 1.2.8 / WP version 3.4.1 ==
@ansidious I have to say it, BP version 1.2.8 is compatible with WP 3.1 and you should be using at least BP 1.5.7 with WP 3.4.1. Cool to know that you could still push BP 1.2.8 to WP 3.4.2 
== My issue is that I can create and edit menu items in the admin of wordpress, but I can not find for the life of me the menu items created with BuddyPress ==
Since you[re still on BP 1.2.8, the menu is hardcoded in the header.php file used by a bp-default child theme or a WP theme with BP template pack.
bp-default supports custom menus since BP 1.5
Hi @aces thank you for your input, I am using private buddypress that was refered to in thread you mentioned but deactivating all plugins except buddypress did not change anything. I have set up a fresh new buddy press installation to check if it is just my installation, but its the same there I added the code that rodtrent mentioned but that didn’t change anything as well. It looks like it is locked in a redirect loop between e.g. http://example.com/buddypress/groups/group1 and https://example.com/buddypress/groups/group1 because the link that is shown in the url field of the browser is http but all the other pages are properly loaded with https. I have changed the wordpress and site url to https.
@mercime thanks for reply, here are the details:
wp 3.4.2
bp 1.6.1
Did you go through the Installation Wizard after you activated BuddyPress? – Yes
What theme are you using? – default bp
There is a trac ticket to include a login widget since theme compat is killing sidebar code, I took ownership of ticket, I’ll look through other widgets and make markup better add anything missing.
No problem. Closing this topic.
I am answering what you’ve stated in “I would like for a login to not use the admin bar and it all be a front end deal.”
As for registration, Paul asked you what you needed that was not already in BuddyPress, where by default, you can create xprofile fields in base (primary group) which users can fill up during registration. Then you could create a new profile group and fill it up with fields which users can fill up after they have registered.
@denysz more info is needed to help troubleshoot. WP/BP versions? Did you go through the Installation Wizard after you activated BuddyPress? What theme are you using?
First time I’ve heard about this. What theme are you using?
Edit – you should contact theme author of Dynamix theme. Looks like the author incorporated BP into the theme per demo http://dynamix-buddypress.creativeworkz.co.uk/ could be some conflict
== I get the normal wordpress user profile editable fields? ==
If you mean the first and last names in wp-admin user settings, then you have to create a script to call those as BP xprofile fields has its own settings. Otherwise, you can create First Name field and Last Name field in User > Profiles panel https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields
Do you have any ‘privacy’ plugins or something like a redirect_to_forum() function in your bp-custom.php file such as in https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/too-many-redirects-in-chrome-404-in-ff-when-trying-to-accees-group-ater-update/ ?
If so try disabling it / them as they may need updating / replacing *
@rodtrent thank you, sadly that did not work, i have placed the code in line 484 right here:
` // Setup the BuddyPress theme directory
register_theme_directory( );
}
}
remove_action( ‘bp_template_redirect’, ‘bp_redirect_canonical’, 2 );
// “And now for something completely different”`
but I still have the loop. Could it be connected to the fact that this wordpress/buddypress installation is located in a subfolder?
@djpaul – Unfortunately, that’s the only way it works. It doesn’t work in bp-custom at all.
The error tells you WordPress can’t find those files. Did you delete them from your plugins directory?
Short of making a new widget which inherits the built in widget, and overriding the method, no 
Are you using multisite? If so, go to the Network Admin.
The option is in Settings > BuddyPress > “Settings” tab, and it’s under “Main Settings” at the top.
p.s. there’s no built in way of switching back to the “old” toolbar.
I’ve tried to open directly in firefox the create.php page and have this error message:
Call to undefined function get_header() in /htdocs/myfolder/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/create.php
Maybe it can help to find a solution … 🙂
I went through BP 1.6 code and stumbled upon the “bp_moderator” role in the code (though I didn’t see this in my wordpress & buddypress installation)
I also don’t see any other functions that checks back whether “bp_moderator” capability exist. Is this a planned role for future release?
