BuddyPress.org

Travel Junkie..good job.. It solve my prob…me too was getting an error!!

== usually is a different error everytime I download bbpress ==
So you’re going for the SiteWide forums and you cannot install the bbPress plugin when prompted? I would deactivate BuddyPress.and then go to Plugins > Add New and install bbPress 2.0. See if you can install bbPress if BuddyPress is deactivated.

If yes, then cool. Go to BuddyPress > Forums and choose the Sitewide Forums.
If you still cannot install bbPress 2.0 plugin, then I suggest going to bbPress forums https://bbpress.org/forums/ and log in with same username and password you used to log in here.

I started a style.css from scratch, but I was not sure what to put in the Theme URI so just copied the buddypress default and added my child themes name at the end.

I was not sure what to put in the Author URI so again just copied the buddypress default Author URI

hope this helps

I did not copy functions.php over

2) did not @import parent theme’s default .css

I followed the instructions given here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

== when I go activate my child theme in admin I lose my sites header banner, and all the work associated with my menus is broken..? ==
You don’t need to copy over the functions.php of bp-default at all. Seems to me that this is more of a CSS mixed with missing tags issue. How did you add styles to your child theme?
1) @import parent theme’s default.css and then add your styles in your own stylesheet OR
2) did not @import parent theme’s default.css and created stylesheet from scratch?

I was having similar problems, slow to load and lots of resources. The problems seemed to dissapear when I removed a lot of the profile fields.

why does start a new post take me to the community page?

anyway had to jump in here because I can’t start a fresh post..

like the title of this blog states (After activating child theme tags and categories not working correctingly ?)

I followed the instructions for creating a new bp child theme and put the following in my new style.css file:

/*
Theme Name: BuddyPress (my child themes name)
Theme URI: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/my child themes name
Description: child theme for BuddyPress.
Version: 1.0
Author: my name
Author URI: https://buddypress.org/
Template: bp-default
Tags: buddypress, two-column, grey, dark
*/

when I go activate my child theme in admin I lose my sites header banner, and all the work associated with my menus is broken..?

I copied all my previously edited files from the bp default theme to my child theme, but did not move or touch anything associated with the bp default functions.php, should I be doing this even though I do not need to make any edits with this file?

Using bp 1.5 with wp 3.2.1 the bp default template

Many thanks in advance

@scylderon hi, have ??? solved this quest?

I am looking for a similar solution

correct, I use both group forums and site wide forums. I have renamed the page assigned to buddypress to “group discussion” the forums for buddypress appears fine. just the one from site-wide doesn’t work. sitename.com/forums/ page only displays a title. I’ve created multiple forums for site-wide forums, individual forum works fine as well. just this forums page doesn’t

I tried xprofile_get_field_data() but it didn’t work, maybe I’m just too dumb..

So I tried it using MySQL, here is my function wp_new_user_notification, I edit wp-includes/pluggable.php

function wp_new_user_notification($user_id, $plaintext_pass = ”) {
$user = new WP_User($user_id);

$user_login = stripslashes($user->user_login);
$user_email = stripslashes($user->user_email);
$buddypress_fields = $user_id;

// The blogname option is escaped with esc_html on the way into the database in sanitize_option
// we want to reverse this for the plain text arena of emails.
$blogname = wp_specialchars_decode(get_option(‘blogname’), ENT_QUOTES);

$message = sprintf(__(‘New user registration on your site %s:’), $blogname) . “rnrn”;
$message .= sprintf(__(‘Username: %s’), $user_login) . “rnrn”;
$message .= sprintf(__(‘E-mail: %s’), $user_email) . “rnrn”;

// Add Custom Fields from buddypress table to admin email – Start

$buddypress_result_ = mysql_query(“SELECT
wp_bp_xprofile_fields.name,
wp_bp_xprofile_data.value
FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields, wp_bp_xprofile_data
WHERE
wp_bp_xprofile_data.user_id = $user_id
AND
wp_bp_xprofile_fields.id = wp_bp_xprofile_data.field_id
ORDER BY
wp_bp_xprofile_data.field_id”);

while($buddypress_row = mysql_fetch_array($buddypress_result_))
{
$fields = $buddypress_row;
$fields_value = $buddypress_row;
$message .= $fields . “: rn”;
$message .= $fields_value . “rnrn”;
}

// Add Custom Fields from buddypress table to admin email – End

@wp_mail(get_option(‘admin_email’), sprintf(__(‘[%s] New User Registration’), $blogname), $message);

if ( empty($plaintext_pass) )
return;

$message = sprintf(__(‘Username: %s’), $user_login) . “rn”;
$message .= sprintf(__(‘Password: %s’), $plaintext_pass) . “rn”;
$message .= wp_login_url() . “rn”;

wp_mail($user_email, sprintf(__(‘[%s] Your username and password’), $blogname), $message);

}

which file has the content-main in it i have the same problem but only on the buddypress generated pages

You need to have an activate page as well as register. You do not have to place those pages in the menu they just need to be there.
