BuddyPress.org

Like everyone else I’ve tried most of the suggestions posted on this site, even just tried installing bbPress as a seperate plugin and overwriting my wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress files with the latest from bbpress.org

The crazy part is that I think I solved this before a month ago when sandboxing on the very same server I’m using now. I’ve tried the cilck/unclick tricks, etc. Are there any special CHMOD requirements perhaps? It’s such a PITB.. This problem is suffocating.

Go to /wp-admin/, into the BuddyPress -> Components menu, and disable the “Discussion Forums” component.

We’re soon going to be writing a series of blog posts about 1.3 for users and developers. Hopefully we’ll get one or two up next week sometime.

@jpfaraco the following method worked fine for me.

“

But the methods discussed in other posts did not, namely;

“ and “

Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable than I could explain why, since the first method was recommended several times in the past by @hnla – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-show-custom-profile-fields-in-a-template-file/

Follow up: Were you able to move it? I am in a similar boat.

That’s excellent news @sidjags, I think I might try this out for myself. So you’re essentially building an array of 9 image urls and then cycling through them and returning the latest value each time the function is called.

Simple and Cute!

@nicholmikey… thanks for the help on cubepoints implementation…

Have you integrated buddypress?

BuddyPress Template Pack 1.1

I am not developer and I am sufficiently silly to touch code, files, and similar. I have burnt myself several times, but a few times I have resolved things! But I can´t change so my question is: shall I copy the files of the last trunk to the buddypress 1.2.8 folder replacing the old ones and put it live?

@LPH2005 in a post of yours, you seemed to suggest that it is possible to create a universal forum by making changes to a couple of files: loop and forums/index… could you please put out the code once again what needs to be done… would be very very much appreicated.

Ok, correcting my previous assumption – it’s been a long day sorry. So you have a single WP installation with BP activated. Prior to installing BP, you had this PHP signup form which worked in your WP installation. You’ve deleted the PHP signup form and the BP registration form does not show up when you go to http://yoursite.com/register

To troubleshoot whether it’s a BP issue, given above conditions, deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme. I assume that you haven’t changed any internal BP configuration like renaming register to something else, go to http://yoursite.com/register. If that works, then ..

Are you using a WP theme with BP Template Pack plugin for compatibility? Activate both and check registration. If that works, then ..

Activate other plugins one by one to identify which one is messing up with registration page.

been there since some time: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-hierarchy/

@DJPAUL you said in a post “I suggest you disable group forums until the bridge has been built”… could u please let us know how to disable group forums… cause i cant seem to find it?

All this should be posted over at plugin’s forums which devs check out regularly
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/

If you want it totally separate, then install first WP at domain root – http://yoursite.com. Create a second WP install at say, a physical subdomain – http://community.yoursite.com/ – using same database but different prefix for tables and install BuddyPress there.

== why I do not have the option of Blogs in my component setup ==

Because you need to make it multisite first i.e. create a network https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

1. Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress

2. Create the network – if you hit some snags, support forum is at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

3. Before installing BP – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

hello everyone.. found a solution to this.. so thought i’d share it here too.. (i’m posting this in all the different threads out there about the same topic)

If you want a custom set of pics to replace the default buddypress avatars and be assigned by random to members… here goes:

@enderandrew…. hey guys.. i think i found something that should work. If you want a custom set of pics to replace the default buddypress avatars and be assigned by random to members… here goes:

Hi Joanquingrech.

You can change any of the labels and messages in BuddyPress to whatever you want by making a customized language file. This article explains what to do: http://wpmu.org/basic-guide-to-creating-a-buddypress-language-file-for-sitewide-label-and-message-editing/

I like thinking of groups as “categories” myself. If you change them to “categories” or “topics” in the language file, then they can be geographical areas, or guilds, or whatever you want.

You can remove “groups” from the menu by creating a custom menu in WordPress that doesn’t have a ‘Groups’ tab.

Normally, users would join the groups themselves by clicking on the “join group” button, but as an admin you can move users around as you want between groups.

I can’t advise you on the theme for the forum appearance. I’m just going to edit the stylesheet myself to set mine up how I want.

cheers,

Clare

i too have been searchin for this since some time now… why is this so hard… cannot believe this has not been addressed by anyone thus far.
