BuddyPress.org

We’re building bbPress 2 (aka sitewide forums) into BuddyPress 1.6 and bbPress 2.1. It’s not trivial work, and it should soon be ready for testing.

I think you’ll need to dig into the bbPress 1 functions (/bp-forums/bbpress/). Looks like bb_get_id_from_slug() might be what you want:

`bb_get_id_from_slug( ‘forum’, $your_slug );`

However you end up doing it, if you’re trying to call a bbPress 1 function and PHP says it doesn’t exist, put this code in before you make the call(s). It’ll load bbPress, so use it sparingly because it uses a lot of memory to load: `do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );`

changing the bp plugin folder name is simply to get you in to your WP install again if the whole site has white screened.

I’m assuming that the WP install runs fine without BP? And wondering whether you are running out of script memory or something of that ilk, without more detailed info I just guessing really, it may be time for you to hunt through your server error logs and try and see if anything is thrown up in those.

And you can confirm that the steps to replicate this issue are with a plain vanilla copy of WP and BP and no other plugins running or custom theme only bp-default theme

you shouldn’t need to re-install WP simply rename BP plugin folder to something else which will force a deactivation of it as WP will no longer see it ; as for why this happens you might need to explain with a little more detail, but test things such as activating BP and it’s default-theme not your custom theme or template pack try to see if default BP will run for starters.

To remove notifications from buddybar:

`remove_action(‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_notifications_menu’, ;`

The file you need to look in is buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-buddybar.php in core.

You can then copy the function from there to use elsewhere as a template part include or similar and just remove the ul li elements that are not required.

I know the “Reply” button, but what “Quote” and “Complaint” buttons do you want? Something is getting lost in translation somewhere. Could you be more specific?

BuddyPress/WordPress versions?
What theme are you using?
What plugins do you have installed?
In what pages are the quotes and complaint buttons supposed to be seen?

On Buddypress > Settings select No for Hide admin bar for logged out users?

See: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-settings

Can you create WordPress Pages ok? What do your permalinks for those look like? Can you create BuddyPress groups?

Since buddypress 1.5 you can use:
`
define( ‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true );
`
I use it in bp-custom.php although it can go in wp-config.php

@asonbrodbeck.com You will be needing to play around with CSS styling to get the look you require, more than that is difficult to help you with based on your initial post detail. That you have a different layout from the plugins screenshots might suggest that default styles for the plugin are being overridden by your theme styles? but again it’s a guess without being able to see any code at work.

You might get a more forthcoming answer to your issue if you try asking the plugin author, although I failed to track this pluging down in either the BP lists or WP plugin repo.

Based on the structure of Thematic, you would have to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Thematic child theme during the BP Compatibility process.

Download the 6 folders mentioned above – activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, registration – to your computer hard drive.

A. Open up each of the 16 BP files and at the Top of each file replace:

– closing this topic.

@tadpubco are you using a WP theme and if so, did you install BP Template Pack and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility?

@dcavins sorry, have never used a Windows server for any WP/BP installation. Perhaps someone with Windows server experience can help you out. Note: Added – “Windows Server” to this Topic’s title for clarity.

== Are you suggesting we copy the contents of wp-config.php and overwrite the contents of bb-config.php? ==

Not at all.

What I’m saying is that the DB info in wp-config.php should be the same as the DB info in the generated bb-config.php file which you would see if the installation of the group forums was successful. Double-check your database if 7 yourPrefix_bb_… tables were generated, though I doubt it at this point.

What you can do is delete the incomplete bb-config.php file you have in server. Then go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums and re-run installation of Group Forums.

Haven’t seen a BuddyPress-aware polls plugin at this time.

You’re welcome.

Marking this as resolved then. Cheers
