I’m not aware of any polling plugin with built-in buddypress integration. Perhaps you could get adventurous and try to custom integrate an existing plugin to work with Buddypress, but that would require a fair amount of work.
I’ve not noticed any delay in any of my BuddyPress sites. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence with the particular ones you’ve been visiting?
As for Custom Community – you’ll need to do a few things. Make sure you’ve added widgets to the sidebar in the WordPress Dashboard and also make sure the sidebar is being called properly in the theme template files – such as sidebar.php, homepage.php (or frontpage.php or something similar). Also make sure the the CSS files in the theme are positioning the sidebar to the left of the content. Do you have link you can share?
@Boone – see the update above:
UPDATE: Found the culprit – A javascript was being enqueued incorrectly – essentially it was being called externally, but it didn’t actually exist!
Re-added the file and it’s working fine now.
good call, @qrahaman – what browser are you using @bigbadboy?
Thanks for your reply!
Do you know if I there is a widget out there which will allow me to display the links?
Just going to do a sanity check here as for me it is on default install blank named – so that would be a name you gave it right? Alternatively only thing I can think of at this point (others may have better ideas) would be is there any chance you have a plugin on along with BuddyPress?
I assume they would be planning an update. If they don’t you can always merge the template pack for BuddyPress with the theme – not a small task if you don’t know code / feel comfortable though.
I’m not sure Canvas is updated to BuddyPress 1.5 yet is it?
I’m not sure how updating core would affect your custom theme… unless you had made the changes to the theme inside the buddypress directory, which would have been overridden with the upgrade.
Cool thank you for updating us – hopefully we’ll see this list at 100% in the next few days now 1.5 is out in the wild.
Did you update that theme to the (if it has one) BuddyPress 1.5 version? I’m a thinking if you didn’t my theory over scripting could be the problem. Doesn’t ‘overly’ solve the how it’s working now but lets just consider that a positive 
Are you using BuddyPress 1.5 – I ask as it would mean checking you are using the template pack for this latest version.
The process for the template pack is if it has file permissions it will put files in correct places – if it doesn’t you do. I assume you went through a manual one (ie; adding in yourself) however it seems perhaps you didn’t put them in the structure they were listed in the pack. / would be in this case the root or bottom folder of your theme ie; themename/
thanks @karmatosed – the other two sites are on default bp theme. while this dennis-the-menace is on a canvas child theme.
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
