BuddyPress.org

Ok so I created a page called members and went to the buddypress section on the left side of admin. It just takes me back to the same page I created the members page on with no other buttons or links to assign any page to anything?

Nevermind, I just uninstalled bbPress 2.0, installed group forums and all is good. It now looks the way it is supposed to. Since the Mingle doesn’t yet support bbPress fully with site wide forums, i’ll just stick to this.

Thanks anyone who posted or tried to help me.

Ok I found out that Mingle theme is not compatible with site wide forums. they use internal (database driven) group forums. So could someone please please, pretty please tell me how to switch now?

Also, one other question is, since BuddyPress is supposed to be a network wide feature, how come it didn’t generate buddypress pages for all my other sub-blog / sub-sites? How do I get buddypress to work on those? I red how to “move” buddypress to a secondary blog, but I don’t want to “move” it, i simply want to use it on all my blog/ sites in my multisite network.

Thanks!

So what your saying is that only the group forums works correctly with Mingle in the way Mingle intended? So in that case, how do uninstall site wide forums and switch to group forums? Also, it says the bbPress plugin is installed, but why do I not see the bbpress folder in my plugins folder in FTP? I’ve reconnected several times and it’s just NOT there… what the heck?

I don’t think I’ve actually done the functions.php thing.

I’ve created a separate theme directory with a style.css noting within the file that the parent is the Buddypress default theme.

Also, the reason I say it’s not connecting to my theme’s buddypress css styles is because if you look at my current forum page (only available by use of the bbPress shortcode) here:

http://btdevs.com/forums/

And then look at what it’s supposed to look like with my BuddyPress theme (Mingle):

http://para.llel.us/themes/mingle-wp/forums/

There you go. Something is definitely up.

see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3818 please

@mercime, thank you very, very much. Works perfectly. I might have a go at writing a plugin to do this automatically, unless someone else gets there before me.

Edit to add: just one thing, there’s no need for the forward slash prefix before the slug name but there should be one after it, e.g

blog/

Sure thing! Like I said, new to BuddyPress community – not sure of what the best protocol was.

test bp is a good place to see it live. if in members directory you search for a user, who is not currently in “Who is Online” widget (which, I assume, is custom loop), widget will show “There are no users currently online”. If you search for a user, who is online, widget will show result of your search.

It should be tested in IE, during search press enter.

Edit: if you do the same from header search, same issue even if you press “search” button.

thanks.

Fixed this.

for anyone interested we still had Register Plus Redux installed which was clashing with the Buddypress registration.
