BuddyPress.org

What have you done with it?

It is in the bp-default header.php: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php#L25

Group forums will be using bbPress 2+ the plugin pretty soon https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598

This is not quite a BuddyPress issue. Please post at bbPress forums or WordPress forums where you’d have better feedback/responses

– https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks

bbPress 2+, the plugin, is referred to as the Sitewide Forums in the following guide https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

asked and answered https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-page-not-showing-1/

does the Buddypress theme sit over the default WordPress Twenty Eleven?

No it doesn’t BP is it’s own unique set of files.

WP/BP versions?
Windows or Linux server?
What theme are you using? Change to bp-default theme.
What plugins do you have installed?
Did you run Settings > Permalinks and set to other than default permalink?

= when they login, I’d like it to take them directly to their profile. ==

Check out http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-trick-redirect-users-to-their-profile-on-login/ where there’s a plugin version near bottom of article

Yes, no.

Assuming you mean the newest versions of bbPress (2.x), you won’t get group forums at the moment. You can continue to use bbPress for site-wide forums.

You can either install bbPress 1.x as well (included within BP) or you can wait a bit longer for BuddyPress 1.6 and bbPress 2.1, where you’ll be able to have group forums with bbPress 2.

#1) What theme are you using? If you’re trying to edit the bp-default theme via Appearance > Theme Editor can’t do it. First, you can’t because it’s in the BuddyPress plugin folder and second, you shouldn’t because it will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress. Create a bp-default child theme instead.

#2) Redirect to Profile page after user logs in – try @sbrajesh http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-trick-redirect-users-to-their-profile-on-login/

It’s never a good idea with software like this to run redundant versions and you would face increasing problems with other plugin etc compatibility and potentially security.

Maybe the theme can be updated, but It can be very hard for anyone to be particularly helpful with commercial themes unless they buy the theme to examine it….

You could try to get help on the theme’s support forum: http://support.stoodeo.com/forum/huddle-buddypress-amp-wordpress-theme – as non verified buyer I can’t even see the posts….

( or maybe: http://themeforest.net/item/huddle-wordpress-buddypress-community-theme/discussion/835549 )

If http://themeforest.net/item/huddle-wordpress-buddypress-community-theme/835549 is what you are talking about, then it looks like it may not have been upgraded for buddypress 1.5+

The link should be http://www.myswayspot.com/activate/?key=5fe52bf2f614ef393d2cef3e44765415 by default. Do you have an activate page set up (BuddyPress>Pages)? Are you using permalinks in WP? Which setting? Maybe try disabling permalinks and making a new user…

#1) Yes, you would need to associate/create BP components with Pages. See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/ and link to Installation Wizard

#2) You only need to install BP Template Pack to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress.

If you’re using bp-default theme OR child theme of BP Template Pack OR an explicitly stated BuddyPress theme, you need to deactivate BP Template Pack plugin.

This is not a BuddyPress issue. What happened is that you changed Site URL instead of the Site Title. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

To resolve this issue, please post at WordPress forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Not sure what you’ve done to get the white page, but is https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-clear-the-previous-registration-form-data-1/ a similar error?

using a custom theme or buddypress default theme? If a custom theme deactivate it and run tests again but using the bp default theme and no plugins other than as absolutely necessary.

Couldn’t you use something like travel-junkie’s walled garden technique:
`
function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}

add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
`
This goes in bp-custom.php and hides members and activity from those not logged in but enables forums and groups for everyone. It can also be customised…..

Chris Clayton discussed a similar method here

Having different menus for logged in users is discussed here – also see here
