BuddyPress.org

New link on how to set up group’s forum at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/#enable-group-forum

Any update on this? I’m also interested in trying to integrate Open Social into a BP install

== Public pages are now asking for a log-in. ==
A default BuddyPress installation does not “ask for log-in”

Is this plugin working with buddypress 1.5?

Couldn’t you do something along the lines of the walled garden technique: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/privacy-3/#post-113808

@Cindy_Hazuka it’s better to start a new topic. When you do, please give more information like
– WP/BP versions?
– Single/Multisite WP installation?
– What theme are you using? Child theme of bp-default theme or a WP theme with BuddyPress Template Pack plugin or a custom theme?

@richardpd perhaps this new illustrated step-by-step guide for group and sitewide forums will help as well — it’s not totally completed, but you’ll get the drift https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

@tomcat_meow If there are no pages associated with the BP component, click on “New Page” in the same line and a page with the same slug will be automatically generated for you.

@Kennr you don’t have to post in two groups. Answered your query at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/buddypress-trouble-with-theme-compatibility/
Closing this topic now.

Not totally completed yet, but I’ve posted an illustrated step-by-step guide for installing both group and sitewide forums in BuddyPress Codex https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

activity/index.php = open it up with a text editor. At the very top of the file,
replace:
`

`

Note that I did not include “ at the top of the file and therefore did not include “ at the bottom of the file.

Save /activity/index.php file and do the same on the remaining 15 files as listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles
… except for /registration/register.php where you do the same at the top of the file but at the bottom of the register.php file, the replacement is:
`
<?php if (get_option('professional_integration_single_bottom') ” && get_option(‘professional_integrate_singlebottom_enable’) == ‘on’) echo(get_option(‘professional_integration_single_bottom’)); ?>

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save all and upload BP folders with revised template files to server wp-content/themes/professional/

Just to clarify
– Was “The Morning After” theme activated when you installed and activated the BP Template Pack plugin and ran Appearance > BP Compatibility?
– Did you use the first method (16 template files change) or the second method (header-buddypress.php etc) to fix alignment? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Open up TMA’s header.php, page.php and footer.php, copy source of each and post to pastebin.com. Click submit and post the generated URL/s here.

It depends on your WP theme. Did you use the first or second method to complete the BP compatibility process when fixing alignment? You could do full width for the BuddyPress directory pages only if you used the first method.

If you want full width (no sidebar) for directory pages only, then delete “ from:
/activity/index.php
/forums/index.php
/groups/index.php
/members/index.php

If you’re referring to all the BuddyPress pages, then create a blank sidebar-buddypress.php and upload to the root of your active and preferred WP theme.

Not much privacy with BuddyPress. There are a couple plugins that make the entire site closed to non logged in uses. But individual privacy settings are not available.

The current version of BuddyPress requires WordPress 3.2 and higher; see https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

I think v1.2.7 is the last version that supported WP 3.0; https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.2.7.zip

I would strongly recommend that you upgrade WordPress.

Is buddystream stable?

Have you tried the suggestions on https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/ ?

does anyone know how i can hide my sites menu (activity, members, groups, forum) navbar from un-registered / logged-out members..?

thanks in advance

You’re welcome

Thanks for your response @mercime.

I am still confused about how to tell from a plugin’s page whether it is really compatible with 1.5. Looking at one plugin at random at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/ that supposedly passed, it’s page says compatible up to Buddypress 1.2.8. Does one believe the “passed” or the 1.2.8. If it’s only good up to 1.2.8, is there any way to tell how actively it is maintained and when it might be updated (other than noticing who the author is, perhaps)?

A number of the plugins showing “failed” show a date of August, 2011. Is there a planned update to the status of these plugins?

It also seems that only some plugin developers specify a Buddypress compatibility version at all, which seems problematic.

I think we are drifting away from the topic title, but this website would ideally make it easier for users to know the status of 1.5 and its plugins, rather than having to gather incomplete information from multiple sites.

Hi mercime ~ thank you

I put : http://socraticmama.com/feed/ into the Google Reader subscription box & your solution works perfectly, but it doesn’t solve the problem for those who now newly subscribe to SocraticMama. The problem is I will have to tell each new subscriber to enter http://socraticmama.com/feed/ manually into Google Reader. Is there any way to have my RSS feed, not my sitewide activity, as the automatic default for Google Reader?

Another poster had the same problem 6 months ago & a solution was provided by Mikey3D, but I don’t know how to apply the solution in my case:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/trouble-with-google-reader-and-sitewide-activity/
I can’t match it to the advice given by Mikey3D. This is because the terms ‘Blog Posts RSS Feed’ & ‘Blog Posts Atom Feed’ are not in my header.php ~ see here:

<html xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; >

<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;; charset=" />
<title></title>

<link rel=&quot;pingback&quot; href=&quot;" />

<?php
if ( is_singular() && bp_is_blog_page() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );

wp_head();
?>

<body  id="bp-default">

<div id="header">
<div id="search-bar">
<div class="padder">
<h1 id="logo"><a href=&quot;" title=""></a></h1>

<form action=&quot;" method="post" id="search-form">
<label for="search-terms" class="accessibly-hidden"></label>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;search-terms&quot; name=&quot;search-terms&quot; value=&quot;" />

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;search-submit&quot; id=&quot;search-submit&quot; value=&quot;" />

</form><!-- #search-form -->

</div><!-- .padder -->
</div><!-- #search-bar -->

<div id="navigation">
 false, 'menu_id' => 'nav', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'fallback_cb' => 'bp_dtheme_main_nav' ) ); ?>
</div>

</div><!-- #header -->

<div id="container">

Using the WordPress 3.2.1 and Buddypress 1.5.1 with default BuddyPress theme. I am also using the multiple groups forums

I’d think @svenl77 and @konradS will be able to help you out.
