@aces just had a thought! instead of calling up the ‘secondary-menu’ would it be possible to void out / null the request to fallback on no menu at all..?
i.e. – => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘no-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
or – => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘//’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
sounds like a plugin conflict?
have you tried de-activating your plugins one by one to see if one of them is causing the problem?
single menu..?
I really think I gotta create the third theme location first, because the fall-back call will end up showing logged-out visitors my mobile menu which is a duplicate of the primary location so in theory my menu tabs will still be on display
Figured it out… incompatible plugin (Theme-My-Profile, for what it’s worth). Deactivated it and the world returned to normal*.
* Realize that “normal” is a relative term.
Those roles are added by bbPress 1.0. BuddyPress doesn’t use them.
There’s a setting for exactly that in Settings > Discussion in wp-admin
@mercime – great! it worked. Thanks a ton. Still some styling to do, but it’s working yay!
Could you however help clarify why method 2 worked over 1. And how does method 2 work exactly?
@jugularbean Re #1 – thanks for clarifying, just had to make sure 
2. You don’t change the filenames, you replicate the file/s and rename as header-buddypress.php etc and should be saved in root of your TMA theme folder.
You’re in luck. We can use the second method to make TMA compatible with BuddyPress.
1. Open up TMA’s header.php with text editor and Save As > header-buddypress.php in TMA theme folder
2. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very end of the file:
`<?php global $woo_options;
//get_template_part( ‘top-banner’ );
?>
`
Save file.
Note: if the global woo_options wreaks havoc, delete from the code
3. Open up TMA’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php in TMA’s theme folder
4. Open up sidebar-buddypress.php
a. At the very beginning of the file, insert
`
`
b. At the very end of the same file, insert
`
`
Save file.
5. You might want to tweak the default styling of the BP template files. You can use the following style changes used in Twenty Ten theme as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
Here’s a screencast of the issue…http://youtu.be/rNObvdx8h_I
Sorry, I meant buddypress.org, of course.
Wow, definitely need a BP Forums for Dummies book right about now. Looking for online tutorials…
Ok something very strange going on. I did a fresh install of wordpress & deleted tables in database. Went in to WP admin and all ok. Went to ‘Settings – reading’ and I can see that I can select homepage & blog page using dropdown.
However as soon as I activate buddypress and go back in to ‘Settings – reading’ the dropdown to select static homepage is no longer there! This is obviously related to my above problem with no page dropdowns within buddypress settings.
Also any pages I create are not showing up in my themes navigation menu. Its as if WP is not reading any pages I create and treats it as if I have no pages.
If I deactivate buddypress the problems persists and i need to delete database again.
Please can anyone help with this?
Ok, I got rid of the unwanted text (removed it from the bb-config.php file), but I’m still unable to assign forum posts to groups. Any suggestions?
The essence of what you want is to store a piece of usermeta called something like ‘user_type’, where each user is either ‘player’ or ‘team’. The tricky part for your purposes will probably be that BuddyPress (or WordPress for that matter) is not designed to allow one user to act “on behalf of” another user – or, as you put it, “players interact only through their respective teams”. I take it that means that player1 would be able to send a message and have it come from team1. But this is going to be quite tricky, as it’ll mean, essentially, filtering the current user id in hundreds of places throughout BuddyPress.
Yea, I never really used it much… so I just decided to deactivate it + that cleared up this issue!
@Mercime
1. Yes the theme was already activated when I installed and activated the BP template pack and ran the BP Compatibility.
2. I’ve been trying to use the first method without much success. To be honest I didn’t understand the 2nd method. After I change the filenames where do I save the new files (header-buddypress.php etc)?
It should just work out of the box. The bbPress activity stream support is included inside bbPress, so maybe it is not being loaded. I’ll ping @johnjamesjacoby to see if he has seen the problem before.
@djpaul why not put a notice on the site saying its being worked on?
Create a custom BuddyPress component. You can use the skeleton component plugin to see example code. How you do it is up too you as you can create anything.
You must have another plugin, or theme option, affecting it.
Then I’m even more confused… Why would a public page redirect to login?
I’ve just tried the following on a bp test site instead of the single menu and it worked
`
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
}
?>
`
nb: The test site is also using the walled garden technique…
just realized I’ll have to make up a third theme location to pull this one off 
when does the editing ever end lol
good point !
can’t afford any more site breaks on a flourishing community
I take it my initial plan A is not worth pursuing then?
It does address both menus specifically speaking..
