@mercime I have followed the above post but am still having problems?
2 kinds of forums available with BP, internal bbPress forums for groups and the Sitewide Forums via bbPress 2.0, the plugin.
Check out BP Codex – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
#1.
a) Copy over index.php file from bp-default theme to your child theme folder.
b) Open up index.php in child theme folder and make the following change. On line # 37 of that file, replace:
“
with
`<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content( __( ‘Read the rest of this entry ?’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
}
?>`
c) If you don’t have one yet, create a blank functions.php file in your bp-default child theme folder, then add the solutions to excerpt length and “Read more” are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt
#2. The avatar with username is wrapped in div.author-box lines 22 – 29 in the same index.php file you copied over
EDIT – took too long to answer. Didn’t see Xevo’s post 
@mercime I have followed your instructions but the results are still the same.
basically I can’t find the code that render out those summaries.
I suggest you post at http://www.studiopress.com/support/ as they support the GenesisConnect plugin. It would help the volunteers there if you posted whether you activated BuddyPress and GenesisConnect at the same time or if you activate one before the other, and other pertinent information about your installation.
@Flocktome thanks for posting the update! this works fine!
Your custom theme needs to be upgraded to support the new settings templates:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme
Please pass this information to the theme designer.
@Bikramglobal, can you do the following:
1. Set these options as follows in your wp_config.php file:
ini_set(‘display_errors’,1);
ini_set(“error_reporting”, E_ALL);
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true);
2. Switch to the buddypress default theme
3. Paste any warnings/errors that are displayed on your page when you attempt to send a message, friend someone, etc.
== I’m trying to install Buddypress on to a multisite installation and it’s not working ==
– So is your WP installed at domain root?
– Is multisite with subdomain or subdirectory structure?
– Did you set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on in your wp-config.php?
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id ); `
replace $blog_id with actual blog ID number of secondary blog.
WP/BP versions? Change to bp-default theme as it should be working just fine as it is in the BuddyPress’ http://testbp.org/
closing this topic in favor of your new topic
Thanks @modemlooper! That worked great. Another question for you – how can I set the mobile home page to my latest posts? I went ahead and created a new page called bp-mobile, so I have a default static mobile home page set up. However, I’d rather have my mobile home page be my posts. Is there a way to do this?
In the admin under BuddyPress menu there is a section “profiles” you can add more fields for users to fill out at sign up . These are not hidden, you will have to come up with your own solution. Hiding fieldsis on the development road map. There is also BuddyPress profile privacy plugin.
I’ve moved the ‘easing’ plugin code to the document.ready statement block, and that seems to have solved the problem for now. I’m pretty sure that there must be a better fix for this – the jQuery.easing object is properly set up when the page is loaded, but the moment I click on the new topic button or pagination links, it looks like the work to set it up is undone.
Anyhow, this works for me for now, so unless someone else comes up with something better, I’ll stick with it.
Create a new menu in the WordPress admin then set it to the mobile menu and add items.
Looking at this further, it looks like the problem is not with the global.js file after all.
It seems that the jQuery.easing object needs to be set up so that it has various ‘easing’ functions (like easeInQuad, easeOutQuad) as member functions. Unfortunately, at the time I click the ‘New Topic’ button, these functions are not assigned to the jQuery easing object and it looks like this causes the click to fail.
I wish I knew why the jQuery object was not properly set up; I may have to ask elsewhere to find out, but I’ll post back with what I find out (so others can benefit).
that still didnt work…It didnt create the tabels, it still doesnt do the “buddypress installation – click here” thing…
If you had wp_bb tables from bbPress installation then you probably have bb-config.php at root of WP installation, delete that too.
Thanks again for your input.
That may be one issue, but like I said, it doesn’t even work when I use the buddypress default theme. In 6 months I’ve never once seen the member functions working correctly, no matter what them I have running.
Excellent. WordPress is fine, I just need to reinstall buddypress from the ground up. and deleting the plugin doesnt do it….
