Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //
` and move it above `
Save files.
Wow! I finally found the solution after all kind of testing.
I’ll share my solution in case this helps someone in the same situation :
1. Open the forums tab in buddypress
2. Unsinstall group forums
3. delete the file bb-config.php from your wordpress root directory
4. uncheck the forums component from buddypress
5. Save the page settings in the settings tab
6. Save again the permalinks settings in wordpress
7. check the forums component in buddypress
8. click install group forums in buddypress forums tab
9. Go to admin settings of all the groups I created and click save again the settings
I’m not sure if all those steps are necessary, but I tried everything to make it work. hahaha
By the way I’m not using the bbpress plugin.
I telll you this because I read the codex about forum setup (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#bp-group-forums) I’m wondering if I should install it ?
After I installed and activated buddypress with ALL the components, the group forums where already installed when opened the forums tab.
@mercime I followed the buddypress wizard and I’m using the “BuddyPress Default 1.5.5”
Site URL : http://test.hardcorebattlefield.com
What type of test user do you need ?
== In my dashboard, to update the buddypress plugin ==
@jloc14 to clarify, when you update BuddyPress plugin to BP 1.5+, you have to go through the installation wizard as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ As you can see, you do not move any page at all nor have to use Filezilla
== the next step was to move the template files as in each page, register, members, groups, forums, etc. ==
Which most probably means that you are referring to BuddyPress Template Pack plugin instead. What WordPress theme are you making compatible with BuddyPress? We have “template-packed” some WP themes already, check if your theme is in the list – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
In my dashboard, to update the buddypress plugin the next step was to move the template files as in each page, register, members, groups, forums, etc. I uploaded the files and moved those folders somewhere and now I don’t see them. In /public_html/wp-content/themes I only see smallbiz, twentyeleven,twentyten, and index.php folders.
Links posted in comments on profile walls or activity stream redirects users off the site to view the links. I am using WP 3.3.2 and BP 1.5.5. I have a multisite installation but I am only running BP on a subdirectory. http://www.neosolcafe.com/community. I am using the following plugins.
Advance Code Editor
Buddypress Album
Multi Site User Management
WP-FB Auto Connect
WangGuard
Akismet
BP Profile Search
BP Activity Plus
BP Auotmatic Friends
BuddyStream Premuim
Invite Anyone
RS BP Activity Refresh
WP-PageNavi
WP Smush.it
Thanks
@mercime Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question, I appreciate your advice and I am going to set everything up like you suggested.
Before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
1. Create a network
2. Decide now where you want BuddyPress to run primarily on. If BP is going to run subsite (subdirectory or subdomain site) then find the blog_id number of that subsite and add the following to your new bp-custom.php file. e.g. blog id = 2
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );`
If you want BP in main site, do nothing, that’s the default BP “home”
3. Install BuddyPress and activate. Go through Installation Wizard.
4. Use BP theme in main site or subsite per #2 above.
@indieconnect basically it means that there are no Group Forums tables created in your database. Check root of your install for a bb-config.php file. If there is one, double-check if the DB information there is the same as the DB info in your wp-config.php file. If DB is the same go again to BuddyPress > Forums and Install Group Forums.
We support 2 kinds of bbPress forums – Group Forums (BP internal bbPress) and Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin) – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/smpl/
D. Check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and copy these over to your theme’s stylesheet and adjust as needed.
@aprioristic You got it right, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your SMPL theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
with
`<?php
get_header();
global $woo_options;
?>
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
` or `
` to `
` and move it above `
Save files.
Anyone else have ideas on this email issue? The messages are not being sent by BuddyPress as far as I can tell. I’ve searched the maillog file and nothing shows up in the WHM mail delivery reports.
Why is BuddyPress not sending the @mention and comment notifications?
That’s do-able for sure.
@aprioristic you need to add some more markups at the top and bottom of the files. Will take a look at it now and post the tweaks needed later.
Hi @juanmaguerrero Thanks
No , The theme is default.
please look at : http://patomatlovers.com/activity
I want to change the sidebar buddypress like this theme sidebar : http://wordpress.site5.net/alltuts/
@mrguythornton you can mark this issue resolved yourself – click on Edit Topic link under the Topic Title and add [Resolved] before the topic.
@jloc14 first of all, what template files were you moving? Remember that you need to strictly follow the directory structure of the BP template files within your theme folder. For example, you cannot move /members/single/activity/permalink.php to /members/single/permalink.php nor to groups/permalink.php
Brilliant, works perfectly. Thanks very much @shanebp
I did install the template pack and it says I need to change template files. I can notice that the BuddyPress CSS is messing with some buttons already, so certainly that will need to be fixed too.
I saw some threads saying I need to change the HTML of my templates in one of two ways if the template pack doesn’t just work (it didn’t).
I’m not sure what you mean by:
“link css of buddypress to the header.php
move all member files to the root of the theme,”
I think BuddyPress’ CSS is being called because it is breaking some appearances other places. Should I be only calling the CSS on BP pages or just sort out the conflicts?
@ChrisClayton I tested the code pages, as you said, WordPress does not allow navigation on pages other than WordPress, but ok! But the code: bp_core_sort_subnav_items () did not work, could you give me the complete code on how to change the subnav position form a tab to another tab? Thanks!!!
Hey @djpaul any updates on this? Other ideas or places to look for the cause?
Dear @mercime, I just have one last question if you don’t mind. Currently the link you suggested is on the right side of the custom navigation bar. Is there any way to move it to the left?
Go to your /wp-admin -> plugins -> search buddypress template pack.
install and run the plugin,
(all should work well)
if that does not work then you should
link css of buddypress to the header.php
move all member files to the root of the theme,
you may have to tweet the css..
@aprioristic if needed i’ll tweak this theme for you.
Dear @mercime and @ChrisClayton,
I just wanted to thank you both for your advice. I implemented the @mercime method and it worked like an absolute charm. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been trying to do this, so thanks once again.
Guy
