BuddyPress.org

Sounds like you’re halfway there; you also need https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/

If you have Networks+ enabled, then you should get free support that comes with the purchase of the plugin at http://wpebooks.com/support/

Sure you can. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/ or https://buddypress.org/community/groups/s2member/home/

>> how can I have a page visible in my sidebar

Not quite sure what you mean. If you activated the Sitewide Forums, you’d find that there are bbPress widgets that you could add to your sidebar like:
– bbPress Forums List
– bbPress Topics List
– bbPress Views List
– bbPress Reply List

First of all, what theme are you trying to make compatible with BuddyPress?

Did you install and activate the BP Template Pack?

Site URL?

Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner, I’m glad you resolved your problem!

For anyone else searching this same issue and landing on this thread. The file you may need to check is bb-config.php. You’ll notice it looks very similar to wp-config.php:

`// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for bbPress */
define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘Your Database Name Here’ );

/** MySQL database username */
define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘Your Username Here’ );

/** MySQL database password */
define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘Your Database Password Here’ );

/** MySQL hostname */
define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘Your Host Name Here’ );`

If you are unsure about any of these settings, ask your webhost.

thanks aces! worked for now..on another note i am trying to figure out ff there is anyway to create two different registration forms for buddypress? is that possible?

@mercime Do you guys have any plan to add the search option to this forum? And unfortunately Google does not index buddypress.org forum topics. it index all other pages but not the forum topics. I tried this in google search bar to search only the buddypress forum and get nothing:

`site:https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/ comment notification`

Although it works when you are searching groups:

`site:https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/ comment notification`

A forum without a search option makes it useless. please please please add a search option.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-clear-the-previous-registration-form-data-1/ ?

Duplicate https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/enable-option-to-open-group-on-forum-tab/

Closing this.

3. Classified Ads – you can use most WP plugins with BP and members may add their classifieds in the installation, but none in this category have any integration with BP that I know of. You either have to build a bridge or ask the plugin developer to add it or hire a another developer to do so.

Looking at the current HTML structure of your Members, Groups and other BP template files, each is missing some original theme divs which add background color and padding. You removed the div.padder container from BP templates and then added a new div#bp-block around the item-list-tabs to try to contain it.

Recommend the following:

1.Add back the opening div.padder and closing div per original BP template files

2. Remove the #bp-block container div you surrounded div.item-list-tabs with

3. Add the following to your stylesheet to compensate for the missing divs
`/* BuddyPress Mods */
#content div.padder {
background: #eee none;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
clear:both;
font-size: 9pt;
margin: 0 0 10px;
padding: 15px;
}`

4. Use the BP style modifications used in Twenty Ten Child theme for BuddyPress https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

5. Adjust style to taste.

You can use Google has indexed our forums pretty well e.g. “BuddyPress.org keywords phrases”

1. You have to clarify what you mean by user’s page. You could allow each user to personalize their member profiles in some way via plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/allow-your-users-to-change-their-profile-page-background-using-bp-custom-background-for-user-profile-plugin/
If you meant by showing a new subdomain, that you would be giving them their own blogs in your installation, then allow them to choose which theme they want for their blog/site.

2. Pictures portfolio/gallery. Two choices available at this time:
– free BP Album aka BP Media plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/ and http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/
– premium BP Gallery plugin – http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/

i solved it. the developer of Suffusion Theme [https://buddypress.org/community/members/sayontan/] had included bad references to BP in the functions.php file. i edited them out, all fine now.

Aside from the confusing method to setup and get site-wide forums working, has anyone resolved the issue of site-wide forums not showing up in the activity stream? I am attempting to get this to work on a new installation ( WP 3.3.1 | BP 1.5.3.1 | bbP 2.0.2 ) without any luck. It is very frustrating and taking up lots of time. I’d rather not enable group forums just to have them in the activity stream. If anyone has site-wide forums only on their BuddyPress installation, working properly and integrated with the activity stream; please offer a step-by-step guide or link to one.

Thank You

After you make the changes, go to dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks and Save page.
