@boonebgorges child themes still don’t work with 1.5

@ken_k “bbPress comes with a child theme of TwentyTen, titled (you guessed it) bbPress – TwentyTen. This theme includes all of the custom bits that bbPress needs to function, broken up into template parts to allow them to be used in several places, like template files, shortcodes, and widgets.” -jjj via https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

Still hoping for a response. Before this reply was 13 replies which is bad luck lol. So is there some way i can remove the “leave a reply” and where would i find this in the bp-default theme?

@karmatosed I asked Paul Gibbs this question. I’m hoping you could also help.

Problem: Buddy Press crashes my website (505 error on admin, 404 errors on pages).

History:

1. Installed Buddy Press. Activated it. During setting up stage, I was asked whether I would want to used Buddy Press template, integrate it to my existing theme, or do nothing (manually insert later). I chose to integrate. That’s when I was prompted to install the template pack.

2. I installed the template pack. Activated it. Then, my website crashes. My web pages get 404 messages. My admin gets 500 error.

3. I changed the template pack name as you suggested. It worked. I got back my admin. Sad to say, I still cannot get Buddy Press to work. I deactivated the template pack. Deleted it. Installed it again. Activated it. Then, when I activate the Buddy Press, my website crashes again.

4. So, I deactivated the template. Deleted it. I deleted the Buddy Press (apparently, I cannot deactivate it since it’s status is not activated, but I did activate it). Anyway, I went back to square one. I installed the Buddy Press. Activated it. Website crashes.

5. I did a clean-up, to be sure. I deleted again Buddy Press and Template Pack. I even went out to deleted entries in my database (following instructions in your page on deleting Buddy Press). I wanted to start from scratch. When I went through everything again, my website still crashes.

Basically, I’m already clueless as to what’s the problem. Any suggestions/tips are very much welcomed.

@DJPaul It appears I’ve been mentioning the wrong person. Anyway, Paul, could I get your help.

@Paul Gibbs Could you help me? I’m trying to uninstall Buddy Press hoping to make a fresh installation. It seems I can’t deactivate the plug-in. I deleted the folders (Buddy Press and Template Pack). I even cleaned my database of Buddy Press. But, I still get the functions showing on my website (e.g. activate, members, etch.). How do I remove them? Better yet, how do I clean my website with Buddy Press? Thank you.

Thanks Boone & Paul! I think I’ve got it narrowed down to conflict with ‘BuddyPress Like’ plugin and/or a couple of bbPress related plugins (‘bbPress’, ‘bbPress Integration’).

I recently updated BuddyPress to 1.5.
When I go to my site, it shows ll members My friends and Mentions
It doesnt show All members, it shows ll members.
The login widget does not appear.

Tabs now work.

@echoman Thanks! You helped get back my admin. I appreciated it. Now, anybody else who can help me? I really appreciate the assistance.

So far, I deleted both Buddy Press and Template Pack. Uploaded them. When I try to activate Buddy Press, I get a 505 error. My website crashes. Is there a way to fix this? If not, how do I clean my site with the files of Buddy Press? As I recall, the instruction said that the installation is reversible. How? Given my situation. Thank you!

Great news @piermaria!

Good luck with the upgrades. I will gladly help out with any testing if necessary

@echoman I tried what you did. It worked. After deleting template pack, I was able to access my admin. I reinstalled it. Until there, everything is good. When I activate the Buddy Press Forum, it all comes crashing down again (505 error). Any suggestions?

@Paul Gibbs I get a 500 error after renaming the template pack folder in the plug-in directory and accessing mysite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php.

@karmatosed I installed BuddyPress from the admin bar, i.e., I installed the plugin using the add new in the plugins (admin bar/plugins/add new). During the installation, where you’re given three options (use Buddy Press theme, integrate to your theme [requires CSS and PHP knowledge], and don’t do anything), I chose the integrate to your theme. Afterwards, I was prompted to install the Buddy Press template pack. I did. Afterwards, I clicked save and finish. Then, boom. I lost access to my website. I get 404 on every page, save the homepage. And, I get a 500 message when I try to access my admin.
