Participant@jsibley I understand your concern.
For those who are new: whether to install BP 1.5 or not – I recommend installing this version rather than older version. BP 1.5 is a major update with a lot of bug fixes and new features. There was a list compiled by volunteers around the time BP 1.5 was launched https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ The list needs to be updated but clicking on most the links of the specific plugins will bring you to the plugin pages where you can see if these have been updated to latest WP/BP versions.
For those with older BP installs: whether or not to upgrade to BP 1.5.
This is a similar question that many Site/Super Admins have asked themselves or regular/multisite WP installs. Should they upgrade to the latest version of WordPress or not because they are dependent on WP plugins which have not been upgraded? Sometimes the Admins wait for the plugin to be upgraded before upgrading to latest WP version if they are assured such plugin will be upgraded. More often, Admins upgrade to latest WP version and find alternative plugin and/or sometimes paying for a premium plugin and/or updating the plugin themselves. Those are the realities in open-source software.November 13, 2011 at 6:36 pm #124316In reply to: Where are my sub-menus? – Graphene Theme

Participant@junglejinge just checked your site. A style in your theme’s style.css has wrought havoc with the avatar of individual member/group e.g. http://www.meetinbradford.org/groups/over-50s/
Add this to your stylesheet to override aforementioned
`div#item-header img.avatar {
float: left !important;
position: relative !important;
}`Add also the following to your stylesheet to delete the list style showing up in members/groups list
`ul#members-list, ul#groups-list {
list-style-type: none;
margin-left: 0;
}`Add additional styles to taste.

ParticipantPlatform is *supposed* to have BuddyPress support, so I looked at the CSS route via Firebug. Sure enough, some minor tweaks “lifted up” your sidebar to where it’s supposed to be.
Add this to your stylesheet to lift up the sidebar.:
`#buddypress-page #content {
float: left;
width: 600px;
}`If you want to bring in the BP elements that extend the horizontal border, etc, add following to stylesheet as well to start:
`#buddypress-page #content .padder div.pagination { margin: -20px 0px 0 !important; }
#buddypress-page .item-list li { padding: 1em 0 !important; }
div.item-list-tabs { margin: 25px 0 20px !important; }
div#subnav.item-list-tabs { margin: -15px 0 15px !important; }
ul#members-list, ul#groups-list { list-style-type: none; margin-left: 0; }`Add other styles to taste.
If the above solution works for you, please close the WP.org forum post as resolved. Cheers.

ParticipantI realize that we are depending on the kindness of strangers, but regular updates and some idea of timelines would be helpful.
It seems like there is a bit of a vicious circle. The forum we use to ask questions about buddypress and report problems gives a poor impression of buddypress (despite the clear hard work of volunteers) and makes it hard to find and track answers. I guess the answer, for those who can wait, is to wait until more plugins and and the forum are fixed?
For those who are new and want to use plugins, and those who use plugins and haven’t upgraded yet perhaps it is unwise to install 1.5 until there is more progress?

Member@boonebgorges sure. You don’t happen to have a patch for this? It is a pretty severe issue – as site links, written in ugly format, stop working. So, anybody upgrading to 1.5, with front page = Activity has a major problem. thanks!

@mercime
ParticipantSet which blog ID BuddyPress will run on, add the following to your wp-config.php file
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`
replace $blog_id with the ID# of the subsite, e.g. 7
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/If you have WP Multisite, you will only see BuddyPress menu in Network Admin area.
After adding where you want BP to run in subsite in wp-config.php (if you’re installing BP in domain root, you do not need to add anything in wp-config.php), activate BuddyPress and go through the Installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/

ParticipantKnow that when you open up your registration for anyone on single WP or WP multisite, whether you have BuddyPress or not, you will get spammers and sploggers. Only “closed” or by-invitation-only sites have escaped this curse completely.
There have been different solutions using plugins and techniques to prevent this but these bots and humans spammers/sploggers are relentless. Search online and you’ll get many answers/methods

@mercime
ParticipantYou could post in WP.org forums for that plugin as to why it’s causing that issue with BuddyPress. In the meantime, if you need sample content for your site, you could download test data which the WordPress Theme Review Team use to check out themes submitted to the WP Theme Repository https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test

ParticipantAs far as I know, changes are being done in the backend of BuddyPress.org. No timeline for completion, as people responsible are working hard on BuddyPress plugin bug fixes and compatibility with next version of bbPress and with upcoming WP 3.3 which is top priority. Thank you for your patience.

ParticipantWould it be possible to have an update on the transition of this website? I have seen a few mentions that there is a redesign going on, but no details. Is there an end in sight for the next version? Also, would it be possible to share some of the enhancements to expect? Thanks.

November 12, 2011 at 11:24 pm #124281In reply to: Redirect Loop “caused” by Buddypress, yaaaaay!
Dojoly
MemberRight. Did the plugin reactivation, and Buddypress “is” the culprit.
I screwed around with the URL settings through the Dreamhost.com admin panel, (there are some options to add/remove the www.) ‘before’ I installed Buddypress. At this time, and after I installed Buddypress, I didn’t have a redirect issue.
Then I changed my Dreamhost settings to accept both Http:// and http://www. as equals (instead of changing whichever it landed on), and then had tried “reinstalling” Buddypress. At that point, the redirect loop was incurred.

@mercime
Participant@junglejinge you need to wrap your code within backticks (`) the symbol between the parentheses for short blocks of code. But for large blocks like the page.php source code, use pastebin.com as aces mentioned above
I gathered additional information from WP.org forums
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-have-my-sub-menus-gone?replies=3
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-theme-knocks-out-my-navigation-structure?replies=2BP compatibility process for Graphene Theme
A. After you activate the Graphene theme, install and activate BP Template Pack
B. Go to Appearance > BP Compatibility and go through the process till you click Finish. Do not disable the Template Pack’s CSs nor JS. You’ll see this in frontend [before you make the changes, the regular page and the component page]

It’s totally unlike what you have currently at http://www.meetinbradford.org/Note: this theme has many options which may or may not work with the modifications placed below. In case the following exercise does not work, please contact the graphene theme developer and refer him/her to this post.
C. Download the 6 BP folders which were transferred to your graphene theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive. Because of your theme’s HTML structure, you will need to use the first method for fixing alignment on 16 files within the folders you downloaded. Those 16 files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles
Starting with activity/index.php open it up with text editor
At the very top, replace:
``with
``At the bottom of same activity/index.php file, replace:
``
with:
`
`Save file. Then do this for the remaining 15 files listed in link except for registration/register.php where you do the same for the top portion of the file but at the bottom of the file, replace:
`
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();
});
});`
with:
`
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 files and upload the six folders with modified template files to your theme folder in server.
D. Styling modifications – you’d most probably want to tweak some styles that come with bp.css. Check out style.css mods used in twenty theme as guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

KeymasterMake sure you are using the most recent BuddyPress translation file to do your translation:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.potIf you need to merge an older translation file with the newer BuddyPress one, read this guide:

KeymasterYou should be good. Although there are probably a few usermeta entries as well, but that shouldn’t affect your site.

r-a-y
KeymasterIf you deactivated BuddyPress already and you still have a redirect loop, that means there’s a good chance the loop was not caused by BuddyPress.
If you “screwed around” with the URL settings of your WP site, there is a good chance this caused your bug.
If you can, revert to an old backup of your WP setup (database and filesystem). If you can’t, disable all your plugins and reactivate them one by one to find the culprit.

KeymasterFor 99% of themes, you can use any WordPress Google Analytics plugin and it will work for BuddyPress!

KeymasterThanks for testing the trunk version!
Your scenario only occurs if javascript was disabled or if there is a conflict in the javascript. Are you using a custom theme? There’s a chance a plugin could also be intefering with the javascript.
Deleting activity updates when javascript was disabled was recently fixed in trunk:
