BuddyPress.org

The template files are on the plugin folder, you can change whatever you want.

You have something installed that is messing with the CSS. I activated this theme on my dev site http://dev.buddiphone.com.

I’m not getting the same issue. The widget theme is using the CSS and header from bp-default so it can’t be this theme causing the issue.

Hi @applegateian

I am looking at doing something similar. Could you please share your solution?

Many thanks

HELLO!

I need help regarding my New BuddyPress Installation. I’ve been trying to post a topic to address the same at BuddyPress.org Support forum.

Clicking to “post new topic” on support tab redirects me to community tab where all I can do is reading others’ posts.

Kindly help me know how can I request help regarding my BuddyPress site.

Thank you.

If you’re looking for an integrated solution with WordPress/BuddyPress, this sounds promising: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-ads-manager/

The BP Template Pack plugin makes your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. Looks like you still need to go through Step 3 of the BP compatibility process. Check out links to walkthroughs at the bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

== I’m not able to remove the old BP template pack files through FTP or on the server side ==
This is a strange and serious issue which you need to take care of. First time I’ve heard it happen on dedicated server.

Yes. We’re moving to full integration with WP Toolbar nee adminbar in BP 1.6 if not earlier.

In fact, BP buddybar and WP adminbar are fully integrated in BP Trunk already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

@inweb thank you for sharing your solution to current WP 3.3 and BP 1.5.2 forums. However, this thread is more than a year old and solution was different. Closing this thread.

@tjherman
== Says it’s already installed. Is there another solution I’m missing? ==
Go to Settings > Forums and check the Archives Base, if you have group forums running change the slug from “forums” to something else e.g. sitewide-forums or discussions

@zaphod_b are you trying to install sitewide forums?

== it gets stuck at the step where it says that I have to manually upload to …/bp-themes. ==
This means that for some reason, you server prevented the automatic transfer of the required BP folders into the folder of your activated WP theme.

1. Download a copy of BuddyPress to your computer hard drive – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

2. Unzip, and upload the following folders from the BuddyPress folder to your server’s wp-content/themes/name-of-your-WP-theme via FTP/cpanel/FileManager:
– activity
– blogs (if you’re on multisite)
– forums
– groups
– members
– registration

3. Proceed with Step 3 of the BP Compatibility Process

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

I suspect the theme you purchased might not have been upgraded for WP 3.3 and BuddyPress 1.5.2 and those are issues you have to bring to the theme author. /they should provide free support for their premium themes.

I recall this problem popping up a lot when having the stand-alone version of bbpress working with WordPress which was always a pain. Maybe this is the same problem?

Always fixed the problem by fixing the permissions between bbpress and wordpress.

Should be in your buddypress plugin’s folder.

I got this problem too. I did a fresh install of WordPress MU today, installed Buddypress and then tried to enable forums. No go. Tried a lot of things, nothing works. Also tried with bbpress, no go.

I really hope this gets fixed really really soon! This is a very serious bug.

WordPress as well as BuddyPress has little hooks that when certain actions are accomplished it will run a function. So BuddyPress as hooked in the the post hook and posts an activity update about that blog post. You probably could do the opposite but the activity update is missing some content a post would require, like the title as the activity update is just content.

Another issue would be to separate out what is considered a blog post and what is not on posting. I personally would not go this route because of user confusion. Look into using a separate post form for front end blog posting. There are many topics here about adding a front end blog posting form.

I also have a VERY similar issue. I’m WP 3.3 BP 1.52.

I’ve renamed my old plugin folder, created a new plugin folder, installed BP and then went to activate Forums for Groups and I’m also getting the..

Error Message : “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”….

Any idea?

… but I believe it works the other way… if they create a post it will show in their buddypress activity… tho I could be wrong on this.
