BuddyPress.org

THANK YOU! After setting the BP_ROOT_BLOG in wp-config.php to the ID of the subsite, BP was “successfully activated.” Except that when I try to run the installation wizard it tells me I “do not have sufficient permissions to access the page.” I am listed as admin for the subsite … There may be a larger issue with WP install or conflict with a plugin?

Perhaps I am not understanding what you’re saying. The codex tells me that I can have both. I followed the instructions to the letter.

I went ahead and upgraded to BuddyPress 1.6/Salutation 1.5.1/BBP 2.1.2 and my WordPress is at 3.4.1. I also copied my bb-config.php file to my wp-content folder.

I decided to fore-go the site-wide forums and just use the forums within the groups.

I’m still unable to create a new topic inside of a group. Nothing happens when I click on either of the 2 ‘New Topic’ buttons.

Also when I enter text in the “What’s New in ‘this group’?” activity box, there is no submit button and the comment just sits there.

I tested this using the buddy-press default theme as I’m hoping to get this resolved soon so that I can try it with my Salutation theme.

I got it figured out Ray Thanks again for your help with this.

Thanks again R-a-y. I have it setup now and I appreciate your help. However, I still can’t figure out how to have “Community” show up as one of my Pages, so that it will appear in the top header, along with my other Pages.

How do I point my readers to the Forum?

Thanks!

@mercime – yes, the terminology in the setup screen is confusing – de-activating forums when you want forums!

r-a-y, thank you! OK I now have the Genesis Connect plugin installed. So now, how do I get BuddyPress to show up on my website’s main page.

I thought I would see BuddyPress on my Widget page, but it is not there. How do I get it to show?

Thanks so much for your help!

I went there and the file I found has the lines applied already.

I have an update from Parallelus (author of Salutation theme), they are telling me this has to do with the fact I need up update the theme to the newest version. I am using version Version 1.4.3.1 and they released version v1.5.1. On the change log, they list:
