thank you.
guess I was over-thinking it since the theme is a buddypress specific theme I wasn’t expecting the two not to make nice.
Good day,
I have set up a new installation of
buddypress 1.7
wordpress 3.51
theme onecommunity 1.03
bbpress 2.31
no groups setup – don’t need any (enable group forums unchecked)
sitewide forum setup
homepage = Home and set to frontpage1
and keep getting this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_has_groups() in /home/flpsblog/www/voice/wp-content/themes/OneCommunity/frontpage1.php on line 40
appreciate any assistance or push in the right direction.
thanks
Hi, @sarathbabu_k,
I updated the BP Group Documents for BP 1.7.
You can downloaded from lenasterg.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/buddypress-group-documents-for-bp-1-7-and-wp-3-5-1/.
What’s the end of the ‘story’?
I have the same problem:
Android 4.0.3, wp 3.4.1, buddypress 1.7 default theme.
I can just add a piece to the jigsaw… FIrefox for Android on mobile works perfectly…
Everything seems to be working now. Don’t know why, it seems to have fixed itself. I am using the default BuddyPress theme, and I have never installed the BP Template Pack plugin.
Hmm, so I can use any theme. Well thats good news. To bad I bought one “buddypress” theme yesterday 😛
Thanks for the list anyway, will check out those
I am pretty new to Buddypress (this is my first install) and not so new to WP. I have a custom theme with Buddypress installed and all works great with the exception of adding/canceling friend requests. Whenever someone hits Add/Cancel Friend then for some reason it breaks the layout of the page by displaying what looks like a iframe of our site.
I have looked around the forums and google to see if I maybe forgot to add something in my theme but cant get it right.
The only way I have been able to (temporarily) fix this is by display:none on the .pending_friend selector but I know it will still display in the markup and is not the best solution.
Has anyone encountered this yet, or can suggest a fix? I feel like it is probably something really simple and my over complicated thought process just isnt seeing it.
Attached is a screen shot of what happens when you add/cancel friends??

Hello guys,
I’ve been trying to find how the menu items are generated by buddipress, such that they thenappear under the <li id=”wp-admin-bar-my-account-*”…>… tags. I was looking at the bp_adminbar_menus, bp_adminbar_account_menu, the wp_before_admin_bar_render itself. I was able to understand how to tweak the general menu items in the wp-includes/admin-bar.php file, but I could not figure out how to modify (or how to find the origins of) the buddypress additional menu which has links to friends, activity, etc. I can see them in the source code of the web page, for example, id=”wp-admin-bar-my-account-friends”, but simply can’t locate where those are defined. Thank you for your help.
BuddyPress Version 1.7.1
Wordpress Version 3.5.1
Follow up issue from the following Login Plugin here “Cant write the plugin name as it contains blocked word”
Summery
The main problem is that the wrong avatar is chosen to be displayed “-bpthumb.jpg” while the correct one is -bpfull.jpg.
Using WordPress 3.5.1 (installed as a directory in root) together with BuddyPress 1.6.5 I’m trying to upgrade from using group forums to bbPress version 2.3.1.
Following http://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/ to the letter except the version of bbPress is now 2.3.1. When I get to step 5 I get the insufficient permissions message.
Activating bbPress falters with the message:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
at http://localhost/wp351/wp-admin/index.php?page=bbp-about
The bbPress plugin seems to activate but really doesn’t and I can’t seem to proceed from here.
Navigate to “Tools > Forums“ – Forums doesn’t exist under the Tools menu. This is where I’m stuck.
I updated permalinks but this makes no difference. I notice the WordPress Dashboard includes a widget for bbPress forums with the correct number of users but 0 forums, topics and replies.
When I tried this same process several weeks ago (perhaps with bbPress 2.3) it all worked well.
I’m using the a child of the bp-default BuddyPress theme and my server is running Apache.
Please help me. Where did I go wrong?
Thanks for that tip, I guess that is what I should do.
Lets focus on your site first as each site is different and css / html validation is just a guide due to html5 and css3.
Ultimately the best way is to either save/ print the list and work through each.
You are going to run into some issues where the validator thinks something isn’t valid and it’s a CSS3 technique it doesn’t validate.
Personally, my focus on validation is always on the html validator first and then the CSS validator as a sanity check because so many things won’t pass that are valid just newer CSS.

Any validator should only be a guide not a rule book.
@Sorensen84 can you confirm you are using the default templates – I think you are from what you say. I’m thinking you are saying that here:
I use the buddypress default template. I got to problems, I hope you can help me solve.
If this is the case then it’s not a custom theme unfortunately @Chouf1.
The next candidate for an issue would be on plugins. Probably good idea if you can to strip back see if that helps by adding one by one.
Since BuddyPress 1.7 you don’t only have to use a BuddyPress theme so you can use any theme from https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/search.php?q=buddypress and also https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/. I’d always say ideally you use a theme that’s designed for a community but either option gets you up and running.
Also worth looks are:

http://3oneseven.com/buddypress-themes/
As far as buying in theory again every theme that works for WordPress works but BuddyPress specific themes you can get a number of places such as (not exhaustive list):
• BuddyBoss: http://www.buddyboss.com
• Luca’s theme: http://luca.untame.net
• Mojo Themes: http://www.mojo-themes.com
• Press Crew: http://shop.presscrew.com
• Theme loom: http://themeloom.com/themes/pure-theme/
• Theme Forest: http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress/buddypress
• Themekraft: http://themekraft.com
• WPMU DEV: http://premium.wpmudev.org
Just installed this, but I would like to know if anyone good point me to some nice themes that work with buddypress ?
Free or paid, doesnt matter as long as they look good
Thanks
sorry @chouf1,
Am using Buddypress default theme (child theme)
Please give more details before asking for help !

BP use the standart WP process to upload pictures. The default user avatar is set in the WP settings > discussion where you can choose between different avatar services. The default avatar shipped by BP is Mystery Man.
When a custom user avatar is uploaded by a member, the picture goes to wp-content/uploads/avatars/ into a folder named by the user ID. The original image is handled by the process to result in 2 different size, and BP rename each file to something unique with a MD5 name, and a human comprehensive name, such as c3f55cb7f3beaa22f7463132f5e0878d-bpfull.jpg and c3f55cb7f3beaa22f7463132f5e0878d-bpthumb.jpg
Internally BP use 3 default sizes for the user avatar: 50×50(small), 150×150(full) and 450×450 (max original file size).
These sizes can be changed. Read here how: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/avatar-sizes-in-1-7/
Each user can modify his profile and change his avatar so many times he want. The avatar upload process contains also an avatar cropper. The default cropping size is related to the avatar define “full”. By default it’s 150×150 and the original image is fixed to 450, even if it’s bigger on the user side.
Depending the placeholder of a profile avatar, those size are adapted to fit the template part fixed in the theme you use. On activity stream under bp-default theme, the avatar is 20×20, on members directory it’s 150×150, etc
The signup process is conditionned by registering. As long as a new user has not activated his account, he cannot upload or modify something, or even loggin to the site. That’s why there is no option for pics at this stage.
And yes, you can embed a profile pic into a sidebar or any other place. But this is only possible if you’re familiarized with BP and if you have some basic PHP knowledge.
Hi,

Your problem seems to sit into your custom theme. Read on codex about templates.

Unfortunately your going to have to use the process of elimination by activating each plugin individually and testing against it until you narrow it down to find the plugin that is the culprit. Once you find the plugin that is causing the issue the go to the plugin authors support forum and report your findings.
Hello megainfo, I deactivated all the plugins I used and created a new user account. It worked like a magic, so how can I figure out the plugin which is the culprit for all these?
