BuddyPress.org

I don’t know if i’ve found the right theme: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/platform – if so the lastest version appears to be 1.3.9.

I’ve just downloaded it and can’t find any of the bp templates in 1.3.8 / 1.3.9 that one would expect in a bp compatible theme…..

There were quite significant changes in the last major buddypress upgrade to 1.5+ so a theme often needs to be upgraded as well

Hi, i realise this is an old thread but since it was the first google result i thought it best to reply here and maybe someone else will benefit too.

I’m using the Custom Community theme and tried deleting all the code from the buddypress sidebar.php but the login/out/avatar are still there.

Can someone please advise on what else to do? do i copy the buddypress sidebar.php over to the Custom Community sidebar and then remove the code and if i do that will it effect anything else in the CC theme?

many thanks.

It is unfortunate that you’re having a hard time setting up BP. Have you checked out server requirements and other installation guides at BuddyPress Codex. For example:
1. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
2. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/
3. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

WP/BP version? What theme are you using? If you’re using theme other than bp-default or bp-default child theme, then check if you have this file in your theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/edit.php

From your post here, go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > Forums for Groups – click on Use existing installation. In next panel, confirm location of your bb-config.php

Mine’s like this too and my slug is set to “members”

I’ve posted 5 articles about it but can’t find them. if anyone finds a solution to this please e-mail me at robpachasa@gmail.com

I’m so fed up with buddypress. Can’t even set up this “award winning plugin” = fail.

You can have only one BuddyPress installed on one blog.

Why not use the groups as each state and change groups name to states; url.com/states/ohio

Then, use this plugin to add sub groups to state groups:

== Even with my wordpress.org account I get the same error ==
You use the same username and password to log into WordPress.org and BuddyPress.org, among others. Since you were able to log in and post here, you should be able to log in and post in WordPress.org forums with same username and password.

If you still cannot do so, go to http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-forums

@primitivpatriot re: http://www.trendkilleronline.com/members-3/TonyIsaza/profile/edit/group/1

Component page title should have the same slug i.e. “Members” page should be /members/ not /members-3/ So go to admin menu Pages > All Pages and delete pages titled “Members” then go to “Trash” and select pages titled Members and select “Delete Permanenently”

Now go to create a new Page titled Members and publish. Double-check page slug is /members/
Go to menu BuddyPress > Pages and associate Members component with the new Members page you created.
Change to bp-default theme and check that everything’s in order.

Am having same issue. @nathardwick did you get resolution? If yes, how?

@brotherkomrade9 in the admin, go to appearance > menus and create a custom menu.

Hello.

I have a Buddypress site using buddypress 1.5.1, bbpress 2.0.2, and WordPress 3.2.1.
I am hosting our site on Godaddy. The main files of WordPress are sitting the site’s root directory as to avoid the “/WordPress” in our url.

Anyway my issue is this: we are using the Default bp theme. I know you are supposed to create a child theme to make changes to the theme, so I am trying to find the code of file where I can add a “tab” at the top of the page under the heading along with “Home”, “Forum”, “Groups”, “Members”, that would be titled, “About”. I want there to just be an “About” tab next to the home tab. If I have to make a child theme, where would I make this change OR should I just make a stick post?

@stjack you mean you had the same plugins, same theme and same BP/WP versions and configuration before you moved to new server with same or better configuration? Then something could have been lost in the migration to new server – import of database or incomplete theme file uploads to server. Have you also tried changing to bp-default theme and check if behavior is corrected?

Not to seize this topic, but I’m having the same issue – one variance – everything WAS working – until I moved to a new server two days ago. Now the topics that were working, are no longer visible or seemingly, associated to their appropriate Groups.

It seems to not be a plugin conflict issue – AND – @mercime – in my instance – groups are enabled… “groups” and “group” creation are working fine.

Creating new topics? Not working.

See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen

This doesn’t appear to have anything to do with buddypress.

Unless you have installed and activated (or plan to activate) the buddypress plugin you should really ask any further questions on http://wordpress.org or maybe http://themekraft.com/forums (as you credit their themes)…

Did anyone find the problem? Because this is now happening to me as well. Please post if you have any news.
Thank you

In a few days I’m updating BuddyPress Verified plugin that will help manage users

I see now that if I go in the admin page of site in the FIELDS PROFILE I have the same problem! I have (normal) no name but I have male, 10-10-1996 etc… and I can’ t set any other default value for these fields.

Anyone resolve ?
