BuddyPress.org

@fmeroney Disclaimer: the following plugin is compatible to WP 3.1.4 but it’s still working in my WP 3.3.2 and BP 1.5.5 install. Read the installation instruction https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-edit-user-profiles/

@verteus BuddyPress requires “pretty permalinks” which means you need to choose permalink other than the default permalink. Then go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages and save Page settings assigned to BP components.

@pipetko initial scan:
a) you’re using an outdated plugin (BuddyStream);
b) jQuery 1.6.4 version is enqueued per source while WP/BP uses jQuery 1.7.1;
c) if you need assistance with the BP Album plugin, start a New Topic at plugin’s forums https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/

@abbas667 Please clarify “wordpress ver 3.2.2” is a typo? It’s actually wordpress ver 3.3.2 ? Otherwise, that’s the major blocker.

More of the outdated plugin issue and possibly a theme issue, not sure. The best thing is to set up BuddyPress and check everything out using bp-default theme without other plugins activated. When everything’s doing as expected, only then do you change to custom theme and add on plugins (only those which have been upgraded to current WP/BP versions). That way, you’ll know when anything goes wonky and can fix it asap. Only my 2 cents.

@markyeoj what I see are some custom modifications on your end that went awry. Change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins, I believe issues will be corrected.
P.S. after I log in, I get redirected to this same topic and I have to go to dev.freelanceu.net/zim/fitnessdiary/ not good.

@jyhash Are the issues resolved if you change to twenty eleven and deactivate BuddyPress?

The secondary avatars are registered within the functions.php
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L554

To remove it for groups, add this to your child theme’s functions and it will override the parent themes version.

function bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars( $action, $activity ) {
switch ( $activity->component ) {
case 'friends' :
// Only insert avatar if one exists
if ( $secondary_avatar = bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() ) {
$reverse_content = strrev( $action );
$position        = strpos( $reverse_content, 'a<' );
$action          = substr_replace( $action, $secondary_avatar, -$position - 2, 0 );
}
break;
}

return $action;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta', 'bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars', 10, 2 );

@katharinentheke I use SyntaxHighlighter Evolved and it’s working well in my bp-default child theme – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ and how to post code at http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

Have you fixed https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/this-group-does-not-have-a-forum-setup-yet-3/ ? If you haven’t, fix that first.

@fmeroney just to clarify, you mean you updated to WP 3.3.2 and WP 3.2.2 was just a typo, right?

Looks more like Buddypress xProfiles ACL plugin needs to be updated. If deactivating xProfiles ACL doesn’t cut it, change to bp-default to see if issue is corrected.

@jafar1374 code above has been updated.

@edward-elhauge Coming soon for Group/Sitewide Forums – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598#comment:19

In the meantime, perhaps https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-auto-group-join/

Have you read through https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ ?

When you installed BuddyPress, did you do that *before* you set BP_ROOT_BLOG in your config file? I think what has happened is that your root site will have Pages created for Members, Groups, Forums, etc., but BuddyPress needs those created on the BP_ROOT_BLOG site.

Try creating new Pages on the BP_ROOT_BLOG site, and then go to the BuddyPress > Components menu in that site’s wp-admin, and map the components to a page which you’ve just created.
