@matax91 are you using PHP 5.4 by any chance? Then check out if solution provided in following link works out for you https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4191
Hello Mercime,
Thanks for your input. As I stressed, I was trying to give constructive criticism. I meant no harm!
I work with DVD/BD authoring, and FCP editing – this is where I can help out others (and I do. Also very generously. And I do know all about the way forums work 
). In this area I’m relying on others, and as our support guy was out of reach, I had a very critical breakdown situation on my hands yesterday.
It didn’t make sense to me, that Roger spent time writing that I shouldn’t make identical threads, without at least – in the same post? – writing a line in response to me having followed his original advice. Anyone could probably tell that this double thread was a desperate action on my behalf, for which I apologized promptly.
I’ve been very careful trying to describe what I have on my hands here – If you read my first post, you’ll see that I can’t access the admin panel (so I CAN’T change to default theme!). And if you read the posts after Rogers input, you’ll see that deleting the buddypress plugin didnt help – in other words I still cant access my admin panel. And the entire wordpress site is down.
I respect everyones time! I value (very highly!) what I get from any forum! And I give knowledge back (in my field of expertise)! In this case it seems that because I offended someone, I was excluded. Everyone makes mistakes. I was corrected. And I stated my opinion about forum behaviour.
I’m in over my head. And getting more frustrated by this forum. I thank you for your time – I do appreciate your help. But I’m gonna have to wait for my support guy to return. Thanks.
@cj-kruger I suggest you also post this in BP trac and possibly provide a patch to move things along
@johnjamesjacoby Have you seen this issue with bbPress 2.1 before?
@michaeljdornan WPMS is the “new” WPMU
Whose BP MultiNetwork plugin are you using? wpmuguru’s or sbrajesh’s? I forgot whose plugin is BuddyPress-MN or BP-MN.
If wpmuguru’s, then you should get http://wpebooks.com/replicator/ – ask in their forums
If sbrajesh’s, then you should post at his forums to get recommendation
Also read that my host blocks xmlrpc.php file – could this affect buddypress? There’s a way around it using a plugin to rename it in scripts which I will try if someone can tell me if I need to do it? Thanks.
@chrfriis Know that all of us helping out in the forums are unpaid volunteers living in different time zones and under no obligation to follow up with or respond to a question. In other words, we have lives outside of BuddyPress and WordPress. Roger has always been generous with his time in helping out in these forums. And if the suggestions given you didn’t work, then you should take the initiative to find out other solutions yourself.
Change to default theme, then when you can access wp-admin, change back to your customized theme. Roger mentioned this above but you haven’t posted whether you’ve done it or not.
Hmm, I’m a wee bit confused.
I had a bbPress 2.0 installation which had been used for some time when we added BuddyPress. I’m now using bbPress 2.1 and BuddyPress 1.6 beta. I can create a forum form the Group admin tool and you can find the forum within the index and activity within it is listed under each users activity.
But, in the group section, it says there’s no forum, and no activity is listed. But is this an issue with bbpress rather than bp?
Edit: if I create a new group and add a forum to it in the process, it works. It’s only already existing groups where it doesn’t work.
To Roger – this is meant as constructive criticism:
I’m very aware that you (I) cant expect help and “ready made” solutions whenever (the shit hits the fan?!) it suits you (me), but Im having a hard time understanding why you dont follow up, when your (initial very kind) help, didnt work. I must stress that this is meant in a constructive way. I hope its being read that way, too. By follow up I mean, that half a line from you saying “If that didnt work, I dont have any other suggestions” would’ve helped me – because then I could’ve started looking for solutions elsewhere.
@djpaul
does BP Followers let you approve follow requests? Some members are asking for a way to control who follows them.
No one has any suggestions at all…!?
I see your post here in your activity stream https://buddypress.org/community/members/synaptic/
If that’s not good enough for you, use Google. The site is indexed pretty well.
== Remove Community ==
@stevenz It’s one of two things, at least.
1. Custom menu has not been configured, a page named “Community” was created and then made the Parent Page of the “Members” page. So delete the “Community” page in dashboard.
2. In Appearance > Menus, you made a custom menu and placed Members page under Community
== add a sign in widget on the left side? ==
Left side of what? Doesn’t that theme have an options panel where you can opt to change which sidebar appears on which side?
It seems that the file permissions are ok. I’m not sure whether there’s a quick way to display properties of more files at the same time, but seeing them one by one, all the folders i checked were 755 and files 644. Could it be an issue of one single file/folder having the wrong properties?
Could the plugin activation have changed the file permissions?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I have no access to admin panel or the site itself. All is 403. I’ve deleted the buddy press login. This is a very unfortunate situation – ideas are very welcome.
Thanks @mercime for your suggestion, but in which file should I add the time code because I don’t want to add it in the single.php file since it will only show up in single post. I want the time to show on the main blog page, so in which file should I modify? Beforehand Thanks!
@edgarestradac what’s on line 201 of your header-buddypress.php file? As I mentioned above :
This could be tricky, but let’s give it a try.
because I suspected there would be a conflict when I saw the code of your theme files
I deleted the most possible conflicts in both the header-buddypress.php and the sidebar-buddypress.php files in the instructions above. Just delete the codes in both files where I added above:
`[ DELETE FROM HERE ]
// some code
[ DELETE UP TO THIS LINE ONLY ]`
Well, @mercime — it is getting closer but:
(1) it only displays 5 of my 22 posts with no mechanism to get to the other 17
(2) it simply shows me my post topic. It does not show if any replied or what their reply is.
So my workaround still is better at this time.
@sobuddy you just add the WP template tag to show the time https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_time e.g. “
This is not a BuddyPress issue. The width is generated by the plugin’s stylesheet. You could change the width of your input fields via stylesheet. Change from
#simplr-form input {
clear: both;
width: 90%;
}
to something like:
#simplr-form input {
width: 60% !important;
}
@frank13 since you’ve already changed your name field, you just go to your profile’s activity page and see your forum posts https://buddypress.org/community/members/frank13/
Here’s my workaround:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/?p=1&n=1000
Then use your browser search feature (Ctrl + F) to search for your name. Primitive but gets me to the place where I want to be…
