BuddyPress.org

@theone85ca what theme are you using? First time I’ve heard that the adminbar was removed by the BP template pack plugin. Site URI?

In addition to what mrjarbenne said above, for your reference there are “template-packed” WordPress themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

Just to re-iterate what @karmatosed is asking: you need to assign a wordpress page to the forums: http://screencast.com/t/ssfUP6jqLRWl

If that’s done, and you have FTP access to your site, you could check to see if the bb-config.php file has been created: it should be sitting at the root of your site (not inside a folder like wp-content). There is a link in this forum post to the bb-config file if you need to manually add it:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/bbpress-2-0-2-forums-cant-find-existing-bb-config-php/?#post-129751

As an initial step, you need to activate this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ to create the folders necessary to make BP play nice with your theme. I will say that it is still clunky at that point, and may need some massaging. If you aren’t comfortable tweaking CSS, you may be better served choosing a Buddypress Theme, rather than trying to get a WordPress theme to work.

The Devs are aware of this and are currently building Theme Compatibility right into the plugin: you can read more about that here: http://wpmu.org/coming-in-buddypress-1-7-compatibility-for-all-wordpress-themes/ You may want to wait for this if you are integrating into an established site and you don’t want to change themes.

I see the same thing. I don’t know why it’s there, but what I would reccomend is going into your site’s dashboard, going to plugins, type in whatever plugin you want, and just make sure you add “buddypress” at the beginning.

@crazyalcayne I assume you installed and activated the BP Template Pack if you’re using a WP theme. So which theme are you using? We have a list of “template-packed” themes @ https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

@sceko merge group forum with sitewide forum BP 1.7 or so.

Sounds very promising.

Pity it seems to be dead https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-members-avatar-map/

Even developer’s website seems dead http://web-world.co.il/

@hnla Could you possibly consider taking over this plugin and updating it for BP 1.6.1?

@megainfo: thanks for the update, I was looking for something similar. Works

Right, that looks correct. Well done!

I added the second check so you can keep settings while turning off that option

@modemlooper Awesome man I can’t wait!

not so sure bout Invite Anyone, because it DOES keep a log of exactly who a user has invited and the status of his invite as in ACCEPTED with the date etc…. so in essence it COULD form the basis of something bigger… I have tried all above and quite like Invite Anyone… which i could post an image here to show you

Invite Anyone

CAn you not spam the forum with multiple posts to the same page on your site. It is noted that:

– The content is not available unless you either join your site at a price or share the link to the page on ones social networks

– The content is not yours but taken from elsewhere but without due attribution (please feel free to correct that if not true)

I’m removing the posts as they appear to simply be an attempt at SEO gaming using this support forum.

If you have a problem with that decision please feel free to contact one of the core developers.

When you installed did you save the settings on the BuddyPress page – so that you link pages to sections in BuddyPress?

In the case of a blank page if the above isn’t true you would be best checking your hosting logs as a white page can mean an error that would show up in those. Another method you can try is removing plugins and going to the default BuddyPress theme (keep BuddyPress as a plugin though). This way you can get things working with BuddyPress then add to that once it’s up and running.

@rogercoathup: Yes I am aware but there are things could be done with menus in BuddyPress. If you recall from the dev chats, we’re re-examining the entire menu area so anything should / can be considered.

@karmatosed – dynamic menu links is a generic WP issue, not something specific to BP
