BuddyPress.org

Just sent updates to repo but who knows if it gets accepted or when.

Facebook copies everyone. They copied the status update from Twitter and their timeline and new lists are a copy of Google+. The original Facebook was a stolen idea so it’s no surprise they are continuing to do so.

In another post of yours, you said that you have such a problem with the profile tab also.
It seems that your theme is lacking some required buddypress components or some are not working.

Solution:
copy all the required components from the “plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/” to your current theme.

if the problem is only with the profile settings tab, then copy the profile.php and profile folder from the location:
“plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/”
to the following location:
“themes/your-current-theme/members/single/”

This will correct the problem

Actually many of the BP-plugins are not “passed” with the latest version of BP 1.5.

I actually dont know why but its true that if you have such “failed” or “bad” plugins installed (even though not activated), they simply cause a blank page or page-not-found.

It happened to me the same blank page when i had BP-ajax-chat with the latest BP 1.5

The best solution is to MOVE out all the BP-plugins (except the BuddyPress) to some backup folder from the plugin folder and test with all the BP-plugins one after one.

I disagree. You noticed it, right? bbPress even displays a warning that it may conflict with BuddyPress.

That aside, it’s the first version of BuddyPress that works with bbPress 2.0, which itself is a brand new plugin. Integration will only get smoother in the future.

This is not BuddyPress’ problem. Are you using S2 Member or registered-users-only-2 plugins? It’s one of those that you need to configure.

Actually, have just fixed it using Platform theme – by downloading the BP template pack, following the instructions in there to move the 6 folders from bp-default into platform: https://buddypress.org/2011/09/boo-yah-buddypress-template-pack-1-2-is-bp-1-5-compatible/

They have now appeared as pages, so more to test, but they are no longer blank and alive with words and images – thank you Buddypress!

Hi, I had blank pages after upgrading – at the time I had custom community theme. I uninstalled buddypress via ftp and dropped all the database tables. (I also uninstalled and reinstalled wordpress too at one point). I tried all of these as well https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/ , thanks to mercime, but unfortunately still got the same errors.
I tried bp default theme and was then able to see the dashboard but the front end pages were all blank. I have started using Elbee Elgee and was able to see dashboard and set up forums, groups ok on the front end (the only thing which doesn’t work so far – but I haven’t tested everything is create topic in forum).

@Lynn The issue with your sidebar on http://clandestinecakeclub.co.uk/ looks like widgets have just not been assigned to your left sidebar via your widget settings panel.

Good catch. I’ve opened a bug ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3619

Image, title, and link of… what? Posts from your blog(s)? If so, that’s all standard WordPress theming and has nothing to do with BuddyPress making it any harder.

I think the first example at http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/13020/display-thumbnail-only-on-the-very-first-post-in-the-loop will get you started!

This isn’t possible in the current version of BuddyPress, and I’ve not seen any plugins that do this. This sort of thing is something the core team is keeping in mind for future releases.

@bakelady The issue is with your custom theme (https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns), not BuddyPress itself. @modemlooper, are you still supporintg bp-columns?

It is a WPMU with BuddyPress which I set up a few months ago. It is still only a test site, so not live with lots users (who be a bit fed up by now).

I have the domain mapping plugin from wpmu installed, though none of my subdomains are being mapped at present. The problem is simply with pure subdomains on existing blogs created while previous version of BP was installed. And on new blogs created too.

Problem only exists while BuddYpress 1.5 is activated. I deactivate BP and all my subdomains are back.

@fswd
Bad Hammer looks better. I’ll delete the Block by Maths and use that as it gives a list of who is spammer etc and who isn’t. As you say, it’s also been tested.

@fswd
The ‘Block Spam by maths’ seems to be doing the trick in stopping the robot members. I haven’t had any since I activated it last night, I’ve had legitimate members joining which shows it still allows humans to join. But I’m still cautious about widgets that show a ‘not tested’ warning, so I would be very interested in knowing if the one you are testing works out ok.

@paul Gibbs Thanks for reassuring me that I don’t have to keep changing browsers.

I just have to solve the problem of why I can’t have 3 columns back on my site instead of the two, it looks awful. Any suggestion as to where I post a troubleshoot question for this little problem. Take a look and you’ll see what I mean. http://clandestinecakeclub.co.uk/

BuddyPress sets up component pages where it is installed. In your case, the main site. Do you have BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG in your wp-config.php ?
