BuddyPress.org

@derek-melo, you will get a quicker response by posting on the albums/media forums (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/) People who are most knowledgeable about that specific plugin keep a closer eye on that forum.

I didn’t have any luck with that setup either. My working setup for a site-wide forum is
1) Disable the BP Forum component altogether (BuddyPress>Components)
2) Don’t create a “Forum” page. If one exists, I got odd behavior, even if it was in Draft status. (Definitely don’t make a Forums page with the shortcode.)
3) Enable bbPress plugin
4) Create a new forum via the admin menu.
Now, when you go to your bbPress default slug, it should take over and build the page.

What exactly are you having trouble with? or are you looking for a developer to pay to get some work done for you?

@conschneider the last we heard is that it was “planned to coincide closely with the release of WordPress 3.3” Source: https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/

(@ core devs could we have the roadmap updated to a newer date? )

But, If you dont want to insert the code into your wp-config file, you can put it into your bp-custom.php file which does the same thing https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

Buddypress always looks to see if you have a bp-custom.php file in your plugin folder and reads the code in it before it does anything else.

@rizkipratama – Sounds like their is afew issues popping up with the current version of that plugin (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-default-theme-not-showing-events/)

Your best bet would be to contact the plugin developer so that he can ensure he looks into it and include a fix in the next version. http://wp-events-plugin.com/

That’s weird.
Have you tried adding the import plugin and importing your data and THEN (after it’s imported your data) activating buddypress?

@G – looking into the buddypress adminbar stylesheet that bp adds to my site, i believe that that stylesheet has the buddypress specific styles for the ‘toolbar’ (the stuff buddypress adds, such as notifications thus it requires to be in the code (i could be wrong though)

EDIT: You could always remove it if you wanted to – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_deregister_style

@mercime

==== this has been resolved in upcoming BP 1.6===

WP 3.3.1 Network with WPMU Domain Mapping plugin
BP 1.5.3.1
bp-custom.php – define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );

whenever default BP admin bar is disabled (or not served to not-logged-in users), the following non-existent link appears in source for all sites throughout the network:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css?ver=3.3.1

… this adds full 3 seconds to page loads.

also, the following appears no matter what in source of all sites:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js

if you need help testing version 1.6, drop me a line, glad to help.

That will change the background of the header. Was their something else you wanted to change via CSS?

Everything else is practically the same concept, for example removing the header logo, you will want to ad “div#header h1 { display:none; }” ect. ect.

What exactly do you want to change? (you will need to be clear as their are alot of divs and other elements that make up the header)

See the codex on Child Theme’s and Stylesheets regarding where to add it. You will want to implement it into your child theme’s stylesheet. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

@JoeMD Sounds like a theme issue, what theme are you using?

check your settings at: yourdomain.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-settings
make sure option “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” is set to NO
otherwise, do what we all do, research the differences between your 2 installs – you will find it!

Separate issues. For the double page links, check your custom menu in Appearance > Menus. As for the forum, which one did you create, the group forums or the sitewide forums? If group forums, did you associate it with a Page in dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages?

@djpaul your plugin work on this? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/disable-activity-akismet/home/

What version of BuddyPress are you using? Are you using BP-Labs plugin, and Akismet? “1.1/comment-check” looks vaguely like an Akismet check URL, which is interesting.

Have you done basic troubleshooting by changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress to see if issue is corrected?

If you cannot access wp-admin then you have to deactivate buddypress-kaltura-media-component plugin manually by renaming its folder in wp-content/plugins/ via FTP/cpanel/etc. That plugin has not been updated for latest version of BP/WP

Did you follow the installation instructions where you need to transfer a file into your theme’s folder in server? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-privacy/installation/

In simple terms, you need to update your BP Corporate theme.
