WP 3.1 (Fantastico Install)
WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server (webhost scripts wreaks havoc with creating a network as well)
@jnieuwland
Nope. Still stuck.
Anyone know if there are any changes to this in BP 1.5? (before pulling out more hair trying to solve this now…)
I’m updating bp columns for 1.5 comparability
I’m updating bp columns for 1.5 comparability
Yes, I’m using it now and it’s all good. Except BP Columns theme cannot be used any more to generate the left sidebar. I really need this. Does anybody have a solution how to make a left sidebar?
@gregfielding – Hi! I’m running into similar problems. I defined a seperate loop (for announcements, more important than other updtaes) to be displayed on the top of the page. But when I add an update in the ‘normal’ loop, the same update is also added to the custom loop on top, even though it doesn’t match the filter set to that loop.
Did you manage to solve your problem? Is it a case of making sure all IDs and Classes are different, so AJAX call doesn’t reach the custom loop? Any help or pointers would be highly appreciated!
Have you tried changing back to the default buddypress theme? A number of those errors sound like they could be created by a theme that isn’t rendering properly? You could re-create a theme very similar to what you are currently using with a child theme of the default buddypress theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Im thinking its a buddypress isssue now. Once I disable buddypress no problem occurs.
Managed to get it to work. Just creates a simple list, you can edit the css to create a drop down menu etc..
<ul id="menu-home" class="menu-members">
<li><a href="#">Members Area</a>
<ul class="sub-menu-members">
<?php global $bp;
if ( is_user_logged_in() == false) {
echo'<li><a>root_domain . '/wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode( $bp->root_domain ) . '">' . __( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
if ( bp_get_signup_allowed() == true ) {
echo'<li><a href="' . bp_get_signup_page(false) . '">' . __( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
}}
?>
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() == true) { ?>
<li><a href="profile/">Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="messages/">Messages</a></li>
<li><a href="Leagues/">Groups</a></li>
<li><a href="friends/">Friends</a></li>
<?php echo'<li><a href="' . wp_logout_url( site_url() ) . '">' . __( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>' ?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
@gregfielding my bad, that code above was for BP 1.5 beta 3 and this only prevents the adminbar.css from being enqueued via wp_head. So you can definitely use your own adminbar.css by @import in style.css of child theme or enqueueing it, whichever you prefer.
Hi, I wasn’t expecting somebody to just write a couple of hundred lines of code for this to work. Just wanted to bat around a few ideas with some like minded people is all. Appreciate the link, very useful and it gives me something to work on. Just thought that more people would want this sort of implementation on their site.
cheers.
@mercime
The first option removed the buddybar. The second resulted in an error message:
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_core_load_buddybar_css’ was given in /home/housings/public_html/townswell.com/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 405
To clarify, I don’t want to remove it, I just want to be able to restyle it with my own child theme css.
@jcampbell120 99.9% of those who help out at buddypress.org are volunteers and what you’re asking for cannot be done within 10 minutes. If you’re not being helped within 25 hours, feel free to bump, but no arrogance please. In the meantime, check out Michael’s method which could be helpful to you http://www.michaelkuhlmann.com/tutorials/customizing-admin-bar/
@ribena_wrath re sidebar below content: Looks like you closed a div too soon. If you require assistance, open up your theme’s page.php, copy the code, paste on pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated url here.
re: forum layout: in the last few steps of the BP compatibility process, make sure that you checked enabling bp.css
I suggest you post this issue at theme dev’s forums at http://themekraft.com/groups/custom-community/forum where the theme devs @svenl77 and @konradS will be able to assist you. Do add which version of BP and Costum Community Theme you using as well when you post there.
Recommend that you post this in that plugin’s section which Stas Su?cov, the plugin author, usually checks out https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-courseware/forum/
Upper right hand corner of dashboard, you’ll find the link to network admin in dropdown. http://wpmu.org/wordpress-3-2-bring-back-your-network-admin-link-with-our-free-plugin/
@gregfielding disregard previous post … to disable BP’s Admin Bar aka buddybar, just add this to functions.php
`remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_load_buddybar_css’ );`
The beta 3 should be ok to run on a live site. Always back up though before installing beta BuddyPress. You will get native drop downs and many other fixes/enhancements
BuddyPress 1.5 – Beta 3
Yes, they are all public. This is the option that is marked:
(x) “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers”.
Today I discovered another blogpost not showing:
http://hvalross.hib.no/adminf11/tommy/2011/08/30/litt-om-meg-og-min-data-interesse/
But comments to his blogpost is showing in the activity stream:
http://hvalross.hib.no/adminf11/activity/
I’ve also discovered that timezone settings are wrong in a lot of the blogs. I have told the blogs admins to set them properly, and now I will wait and see if that solves this mystery (might be that BuddyPress checks time in a certain way to decide to show stuff in the activity stream or not).
btw, thanks for asking. I felt alone in here. Good to know someone reads my questions 
In WordPress 3.2.1 as a Network admin you should find it at the left menu second item from the top ‘BuddyPress’.
