@r-a-y – hey man thanks for being a great help here to the community. I’ve been reading most of your posts in the forums over the past several hours fighting with my permalinks in activity streams.

I saw your .htaccess redirect post for mismatch 301 and tried it but I think I need it customized for activity streams?

In my example, certain activity posts are just going to the front page of my site rather than the post itself, they’re all coded like: http://www.site.com/activity/p/0001 when you click ‘view’ it just goes to the home page

Pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to get them to refresh or something. My permalink structure is /%post_id%/%postname%

It’s making me crazy lol

Install https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ to make WP theme compatible.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

How would we be able to understand how to solve issues with activity links (where it says ‘view’ in the stream) redirecting to the home page? Not all of them are doing it, but a good enough number. I guess even (1) would be considered a bug.

I am using BP 1.2.9 with WP 3.2.1 multisite atm – made the upgrade this weekend and running into these issues..

Now having the same issue as Don on my BP 1.2.9 (WP 3.2.1 Multisite).

Certain activity links are now redirecting to the home page rather than the item. I tried seeing if there is a pattern as to why it’s doing this but it’s apparently random (to me). Certain ‘view’ links in the stream will redirect to the home page, some go to the activity.

I’ve tried changing permalinks a couple times and that didn’t help.

I updated to the new BP version last week. Any suggestions?

What do you mean that the website “crashed”?

It’s highly, highly unlikely that BuddyPress would have caused you to lose any data. If, after activating BuddyPress, your screen goes white, it usually suggests that you have insufficient memory on your server. In that case, simply navigate to wp-content/plugins with an FTP client, and delete the buddypress folder. WordPress stores content separately from its program files, and your data is still safe.

Here is a very helpful codex page on “blank screens”, which is what I assume you mean by “crashed”: https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/

Great!

If you’ve got command-line access to your server, you can check out latest development version via Subversion. Create an empty directory /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/, and then
`svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk`
The nice thing about this is that you can then upgrade to the latest development version at any time by going into that directory and typing
`svn up`

It’s not recommended that you run the trunk version on a production server, though – only a development or test server.

@karmatosed thanks for updating https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/

OK so I’ve had the same problem and have built a very clumsy workaround.

PROBLEM: When the user click the email verification it sends them to verify.php and logs them in to WP but my Buddypress doesn’t know they are logged in and asks them to login. If the user just ignores the login request there is no problem but users don’t do that so they try to login and get the same “error..please provide a valid activation key” message because the account is already active.

MY RUBBISH ANSWER: The only thing that worked for me was to hide the BP admin bar and handle login links manually then change the text on the verify.php to a simple ‘congratulations, you’re in’ message. The downside of this is that I lost the use of my BP-Sliding-Login-Panel which I love. so I would be very grateful for a real solution to this.

When using the Buddypress Template Pack, make sure you’re using that to insert the Buddypress CSS and JS in your theme as well, which is why it probably didn’t work for @abccreativity right away.

I’m not familiar with the Headway BuddyPress plugin. But first things first, are you install Buddypress 1.2.9 or 1.5-beta-2?

Found the answer in this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/topic/upload-size-limits/

So, to be able to use upper case extensions go change line 525 in plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php and change

to
(jpe?g|gif|png|JPG|GIF|PNG)

(change it twice in that line)

Hope this helps!

I am having similar issues trying to get my BuddyPress install to work with my Headway BuddyPress Addon. I set up the BuddyPress plugin. -no problems- I then downloaded and set up the recommended BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. -site still working- However when I activate the Headway BuddyPress Add-On plugin, I receive the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared in /home/mbctv/public_html/test4_2/wp-content/plugins/headway-buddypress-add-on/lib/buddypress-theme/_inc/ajax.php:2) in /home/mbctv/public_html/test4_2/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php on line 81

Has anyone received this message? And can someone please help me?? Thanks!

When’s the last time you svn upped your installation? Or are you using one of the BP 1.5 betas? I’ve been told that this issue has been identified and fixed since BP 1.5-beta-2: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3469#comment:1

oops, you answered my question before I asked it

Yes, that sounds like a bug. I have opened a Trac ticket, which you can follow for updates: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3469

I was not able to reproduce either issue. When new users sign up, their display name is correct. And data is correctly synced back and forth between display_name and the BP name field.

Have you changed the name of your Full Name field? What did you change it to?

that totally helped me @boonebgorges thanks!.

I’m trying to do something quite similar to Von. My goal is to create a new page, just like the
buddypress forumns / groups / achievements setup where you have a table of contents with “view all” and “my ____”.

Trying to integrate post content with this same setup…. sort of a “Browse all Posts” … “Browse My Posts”…. in the same format. This is both to take advantage of those nice little ajax togglers that modify the loop based on the ajax query…. but also to maintain visual consistency across the site.

Using page templates a new table of contents has been created for these posts “post/index.php” and “post/post-loop.php” using the exact same HTML and CSS as the BP template…. so it looks good… same format..

So…. you can toggle between “All Posts” and “My Posts”… but of course, the HTML and

Turn of WP_DEBUG, or lower your PHP warning settings, or wait a couple of weeks to get BuddyPress 1.5, where we’ve fixed all these issues.

@foxly oops, my mistake, jet events seems to activate fine but the event creation system appears to be broken. I can see my “appointed to” events and else but not access the main creation page/list. sorry!

@foxly I can see in your spreadsheet that Jet Events System is listed as “fail” to work with BP 1.5, but I just tested it and it works fine for me perhaps the tester forgot to click on “update database/templates” buttons? can you clarify this? thanks!
