BuddyPress.org

It may depend on the theme you are using (some can be a little troublesome over this) but I just did a sanity check on the default 1.5 BuddyPress theme and all is well there with setting the front page as activity stream.

What I did was this:

1. Go to settings > reading
2. Front page displays – select a static page
3. Front page: select activity

Save and should work for you.

I’m a thinking something squiffy is up with either another plugin or theme or browser cache on that one then. It would be using scripting for the drag and drop so perhaps that’s what is sticking.

Did you try using firebug or even the default BuddyPress 1.5 theme with no other plugins and browser cache cleared? Just trying to level the playing field.

That said if it works now you probably can’t test but worth noting for future maybe.

Did you upgrade to BuddyPress 1.5 and use the updated template pack?

@andrewteg, or anyone else that may be able to help. i’ve tried this method, and installed the code verbatim but it’s had no effect on my site.

here’s a group on my site: http://willowbilliards.com/groups/general-discussion-forum/. You can see that it starts you off on the “Home” tab, not the Forum tab which is what I’d like to do.

here’s the code in my /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file: http://pastebin.com/pxCWxeie
here’s the code in my /wp-content/themes/bp-child/functions.php file: http://pastebin.com/Kqyvpe8h (it’s the bottom function).

please advise what’s wrong. thanks!

No, they do different things. You can’t expect BuddyPress to set a bbPress setting, or vice-versa. If you run bbPress 2.0 with the bundled version that comes with BuddyPress, you need a little elbow grease.

Hi !
I want to do the same thing what you defunctlif but i have a problem. I created bp-custom.php file with your settings and put it in buddypress main directory and it doesn’t work should i put it somewhere else?

So the page sets in Buddypress conf is useless?

This error is from bbPress, not BuddyPress. I suggest you turn down PHP’s warning level.

ElDitcho: Yes, you either need to put the BuddyPress forum directory under a different page name, or change bbPress’ forum to live under a different name.

Also there is an alerte message on bbpress settings if my forum pge name is “forums” (i change it to test but the redirection still here) : Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page

I have the same problem. BBpress 2.0, BuddyPress 1.5
the Discussion Forums page redirect to my home
Permalink update does’nt change anything

Hello tiptap,

did you get your different user types/roles in the members slug ever working (as per your thread about different profiles for different user types)? Just before I start something that cannot be accomplished……
If you have I would be glad if you give me some hints or even share some code.
Sascha.

If you haven’t got a Menu set up for the main navigation, it will default back to the same sort of way that older versions of BuddyPress used. You’ll need to drag the BuddyPress pages into the Menu builder. It should just work

You can always test adding non-BuddyPress-specific pages to your menu, and check that it appears in your theme. If it doesn’t, maybe we need to check which theme you’re using.

Also make sure you have assigned a page to the forums component. Under the BuddyPress admin menu is a link called pages.

BuddyPress 1.5 uses the WordPress Navigation menus, which allow you to customize your tabs.

That’s not in BuddyPress core, that’s from the bp-album plugin.

The code I posted above works but it’s only for BuddyPress 1.5

@modemlooper Did you all ready got this working because i need a custom group homepage

with out a activity stream just plane text or a image banner
