BuddyPress.org

@tvanes glad you resolved the issue and thanks for letting us know what the resolution was.

@kenn_icuk WP/BP versions? Is your installation hosted locally or on shared hosting or VPS, etc? Windows or Linux? Are you using bp-default theme or a custom theme?

@mix35 per my check at this time, you have many plugins activated but did not activate BuddyPress at all. Before activating BuddyPress, deactivate the BP-compatible plugins first. Then activate those one by one as some may not have been updated for BP 1.6.

No, we don’t use Jetpack in our installations since we only needed some features which were already filled by other solutions.

Just a thought, have you tried deactivating plugins except BuddyPress and JetPack to check if it was a conflict with another plugin?

@mumbaipav you have activated the BP template pack plugin and need to complete of fix wrong implementation of Step 3 compatibility process. So as mentioned above

Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

Hi,

read here, and use “per page” option

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-forum-topics-loop/

bp_has_forum_topics(‘per_page=5’)

See this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/membership-numbers-differ-since-1-6-update/

same here.

I found BP Gallery produces an “internet explorer cannot display the page” error when trying to enter groups since upgrading to 1.6.1

Nope.

I’ve always had lots of trouble with the Groupblog plugin. Have you tried contacting its authors directly for support?

This is working as intended. Please create an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org, using your username and password from this site, explaining this and why you think it should be changed.

No need to crosspost on both here and on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4458 — we read both.

I would say generally that whatever the behaviour should be, it ought to be consistent.

Ooh. Tricky. Does setting the attribute via javascript work?

If you submit this as an enhancement ticket to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org, using your username and password from this site, we can change the template in BuddyPress 1.7 for you. If you can attach a patch, that would be even better

Hi @pjtna,

There are many ways to accomplish what you want, depending essentially of your php/html knowledge.
First thing you have to do anyway is to create a child theme.

Second, IMO, the easiest would be to create a widget with help of the TextWidget delivered with WP and phpexec plugin. This plugin allows to insert php, css and HTML into the TextWidget. No need then to hack into the sidebar file.

Note: you can search on this forum with Google. Use `buddypress.org: your search terms`
This would bring you many answers.
And apologize if I push an opened door

Hi

http://polkadot-developers.co.za/ specialized in WordPress and Buddypress.

You can use bbPress 2.1+ today with BuddyPress 1.6+. It works great for new sites, but if you’ve got existing group forum content you’d need to migrate, I’d hold off until bbPress 2.2.

I don’t know about the other details; I know JJJ spoke about them, but not sure what’s decided. I imagine any new features would be released incrementally.

BP group forum specific plugins will become incompatible, yes.

“Group forums will be scripted to use the Sitewide Forums pretty soon”
music to my ears!.
But even then there are few hitchs.

Can we start sub forums or categories within a group forum?
what about buddypress group forum specific plugins? Will they become incompatible?
