BuddyPress.org

@rbrtah there were many issues by OP. Is same error about setting Group and/or Sitewide Forums? If so, check https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

@creaturis Lines #61-67 of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php

@fallingup first, I can empathize on the FTP access only :-s

Which BP Chat plugin are you using? If it doesn’t explicity note that it’s been updated for BP 1.5+/WP3.3+ then I suggest you deactivate it and check if issue is resolved. If not, deactivate BP plugins except BuddyPress and check.

I remember someone brought up the same issue before in BP forums and it was because of the plugin conflict, something with prefilled or automatic SEO keywords and the like. To be sure, deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and check if issue is resolved. Then activate plugins a batch at a time and check registration page

I’m looking for a Buddypress compatible membership application plugin with functionality along the following lines:
– The user should be presented with an application/registration form, with some mandatory and non-mandatory fields.
– On completion, the application is submitted to a pending queue.
– From the pending queue selected user roles should be able to ‘approve’ or ‘reject’ the application.
– unapproved applicants have no access to the member content

‘Nice to have’ extras:
– ability to select which of the registration fields (if any) should be displayed on the member register
– ability to e-mail user: (i) confirming application submitted (and add a message regarding typical review times, etc.) (ii) approval/rejection e-mail templates and triggers, (iii) Welcome e-mail
– application management in the front-end
– ability to grant unapproved members limited access to membership areas, e.g. possibly to one forum only.

I’m wondering whether something already exists? Be good to hear from anyone with suggestions. Many thanks.

@abray we are aware of the search issue, sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime, you can use Google buddypress.org + keywords/phrases.

== custom groups template from my theme is not loaded anymore ==

@struppolo If you have a backup of the groups template in your computer, then just upload to your theme’s folder in server via FTP/FileManager/cPanel, etc.

You install the plugins in your WP installation via dashboard menu Plugins > Add New –
Respective plugin’s installation/notes/faqs/support are all in the links I gave above

@nickharambee Remove the BP Component Pages you want to make private from the custom menu https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/

Add the following to your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'mme_loggedin_only_links' );
function mme_loggedin_only_links($items) {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return $items;
else
$ouractivity = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'activity' . '">' . __('Activity', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$ourmembers = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'members' . '">' . __('Members', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$ourgroups = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'groups' . '">' . __('Groups', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$ourgroupforums = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'forums' . '">' . __('Forums', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$items = $items . $ouractivity;
$items = $items . $ourmembers;
$items = $items  . $ourgroups;
$items = $items . $ourgroupforums;
return $items;
}

Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme to begin isolating what’s causing the strange behavior.

@abray, you have to include div#content in the css, that way, it will not affect widget

Please post only once for the same issue. Closing this duplicate of https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-theme-looks-diff-help/

Not clear what you mean by “in instant WP”? What theme are you using? Screenshot or site url so we could see what’s going on.

Where is WP installed, in domain root, subdomain or subfolder. Is your multisite subdomain or subdirectory structure?

Site url? Have you tried changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

@nickharambee since you have group forums at http://www.yoursite.com/forums/ , to avoid conflict between the group and sitewide forums, need to have a different slug for your sitewide forums, e.g. discussions so the sitewide forums will be at http://www.yoursite.com/discussions/

== I am running a buddypress site consisting of hidden groups only. ==

@crazywhistlepig

1st, remove the Groups tab from your custom menu. We will add the link to respective group per member.

2nd, add this to your theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'mme_my_hidden_groups' );
function mme_my_hidden_groups($items) {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return $items;
else
$hiddengroups = '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain('/') . 'groups' . '">' . __('My Groups') . '</a></li>';
$items = $items . $hiddengroups;
return $items;
}

The “My Groups” link will appear at the end of the custom menu and will show up for logged in users only.

@matthew29 all are custom-coded specially for BuddyPress.org
You’d either have to create the plugins or hire a developer to do so.

@creaminta You have Joomla in your main site (plus uri’s there ends with .html) and WP/BP in a physical subdomain http://training.zbrushworkshops.com/members/admin/ which is a single WP installation.

If you do not plan to make your WP at root of http://training.zbrushworkshops.com/ a multisite installation, then don’t add `define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );` in your wp-config.php

@timetraveler we are aware of the search issue. In the meantime you can use google: buddypress.org keywords phrases and/or username (if applicable)

As for site activity – make sure you have /activity/index.php in your active theme’s folder. Change to bp-default theme and go to yoursite.com/activity (assuming you didn’t change the slug) and check if issue is resolved..
