BuddyPress.org

I have been having the exact same issue. Clean install of both WordPress 3.5.1 and BuddyPress 1.7. Presuming you have checked the box “anyone can register” in Settings > General it’s a mystery.

I did consider it might be a permalink issue, but have tried all combinations thereof. No joy. You might however want to try this perhaps. Also, it’s worth checking which pages are assigned to your registration and activation in BuddyPress settings.

There are various threads on the same topic in this support forum, everybody experiencing exactly what you have mentioned, but none of them are resolved (so far as I can tell).

Leads me to think that this is a SERIOUS bug in an otherwise fantastic plugin. It’d be nice for some of clarification on this though, even if the answer is ‘it’s a bug’.

Hi Maruti, I wonder if you could possibly help as I am trying to install BuddyPress to Flare Theme also…Would you be able to send me examples of the Template Files.
I am building a new website for a local school (although I’m not a developer)…and would appreciate your support greatly!

I am using catalyst theme and I have added buddypress to it. I have also used BuddyPress Template Pack.

Not to rock the boat, but if you have BuddyPress 1.7+ activated in your site, you shouldn’t need to install/activate that BP Template Pack plugin anymore in most cases.

plugin or any modification that can insert the default user account in the sidebar and removes it from top bar while using my own theme?

I would create a child theme of the Catalyst theme and then copy over your catalyst theme’s sidebar.php into your child theme folder with the relevant login code from the BP Default theme’s sidebar.php. Activate the child theme.

These plugins should help 😉

This one is used for members to choose the group they want on registration.

This plugin assigns specific profile groups to the roles you want.

These both work great together, and I am using them on the most recent WordPress and BuddyPress versions.

@mamasaywhat this codex instruction for sitewide and group forums? https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Btw, you mentioned that you’ve been working on the BuddyPress project over and over for around a year, did you by any change install the old BuddyPress group forums then? If so, that’s what is causing the warnings. You’d need to read this https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/

As for the BP pages, I see no glaring issue at http://www.mamasaywhat.com/members/coreyp/

@shonesss WP/BP versions?

but the installation wizard does not show up

There is no longer an Installation Wizard since BP 1.7, so no worries.

I thought I’d plough on ahead anyway so I installed Buddypress Template Pack

As of BP 1.7, BuddyPress is compatible with nearly all WordPress themes, which means you do not need to install/activate the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. https://codex.buddypress.org/bp-17-upgrading-template-packed-themes/

no buddypress navigation shows so its impossible to use.

Go to Appearance > Menus, then add the BuddyPress Pages to your custom menu.

@baskers I got a 404 page when I visited your link. Try renaming the subdirectory folder where you installed your WordPress and BuddyPress from RickyTweetUp to rickytweetup

@munch40 thanks for sharing your solution. Glad you’ve got BuddyPress working in your site 🙂

There is the BuddyPress Followers plugin, but that follows a person/member and not a post. What exactly do you mean by following a post? Perhaps, you’d prefer a “Like” plugin where members can “like” a post or not.

Turns out there was an issue I didn’t catch until I noticed @mentions were showing up for more than just the specified user. Below is the updated code (really, it’s just a matter of swapping out $user_id for $filter_array[‘user_id’] in the edited code mentioned above). This is working on BuddyPress 1.7.1.

I opened up buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-classes.php, found lines 620-624 (part of the get_filter_sql function), and changed it from:

if ( !empty( $filter_array['user_id'] ) ) {
	$user_sql = BP_Activity_Activity::get_in_operator_sql( 'a.user_id', $filter_array['user_id'] );
	if ( !empty( $user_sql ) )
		$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;
}

To:

if ( !empty( $filter_array['user_id'] ) ) {
	$user_sql = BP_Activity_Activity::get_in_operator_sql( 'a.user_id', $filter_array['user_id'] );
	// START Also include @Mentions in User Stream
	$search_terms = '@'.bp_core_get_username($filter_array['user_id']);
	$user_sql.= "OR ( a.content LIKE '%%".like_escape($search_terms)."%%' )";
	// END Also include @Mentions in User Stream
	if ( !empty( $user_sql ) )
		$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;
}

• my best suggestion is to try and reinstall WordPress and BuddyPress & bbPress manually via ftp.
• If that doesn’t work, you’re best bet is to reinstall the most recent versions of those (before the upgrade of course) and then upload your most recent .sql backup via phpmyadmin to restore your site pre-upgrade.
• Once your site is back online, you can check your server logs for errors and report them here for assistance in finding the core issue and a best practice solution to implement to overcome it.
• Then definitely move everything to a localhost so that you can try to replicate the issue

Also, when you try to replicate the issue on your localhost, try to upgrade without any other plugins activated to see if there is a conflict with any of your plugins and the update. You can also search for “buddypress + {your plugin name here}” for each of your plugins that haven’t issued an update since buddypress 1.7, as they could possibly be the culprit.

I hope this helps and good luck with restoring your site. It can be stressful, but you’ll get it bud.

as even removing the /buddypress/ folder doesn´t run, I belive “in any place” of database there are some wrong code. Is it true?

Thanks,

Hi, I get a WPMU 3.5.1 and tried to upgrade to BuddyPress to last version. Now I get a white screen of death in my home http://www.dealermarket.net but the other sites run fine, by instance http://www.dealermarket.net/actualidad

I cannot access to my Super admin network area:
http://dealermarket.net/wp-login.php
http://dealermarket.net/wp-admin/network.php … Error HTTP 500

or even throught Network Admin dashboard. So what should I to do?, before touch anything. I see in any site dashboard, at Plugin section, two Buddypress versions 1.6.1 and 1.7.1. Also I have removed the ../plugin/buddypress/ folder but the problem persist. Just one thing more, I upgraded bbpress before BP, at v.2.3.2

Note: I would need while fix it a solution to refresh/redirect from home site to another site to stay alive.

Thanks a lot.,
Felix

(once I heard about every theme compatibility, which is awesome).

However by the look of things you aren’t actually running under the new Theme Compatibility layer.
Your layout under BP pages and lack of theme compat stylesheet suggests you’ve activated the older bp-default theme? If so you don’t want to be if using a custom third party theme or have you run the BP template pack plugin to make this theme work with BP?

If you have any BP folders in your theme root try removing them and letting BP theme compatibility take over.
