@DJPaul ,
I have WP 3.1.3 installed on my VPS acct, Buddypress 1.2.8 , I tried to install bbpress onto it, it says successfully, however, clicking onto the forum link gave me a error 404 … Anything that I have not done or done wrong?

@DrBoulet good for you on the mac system. I’m not into Windows servers but see if solution posted in this thread can help you https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-menus-give-404s/#post-47915

BP Codex is your friend. https://codex.buddypress.org/home/

@herzseben,
what/how exactly did you change if you could show some codes pls?

Thanks

(After looking around a bit, it seems that just changing the default memory allocation in wp-settings.php solves this problem. I ran into this while testing, however, so I was able to just reinstall WP and change this setting, then install BP and BBpress again.)

@BrainiacWebDesigns

Have you seen this new plugin? Looks perfect
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/opentok-video-chat/

Platform is not BP compatible. I just downloaded it and verified. The author of the theme has put the ‘buddypress’ tag in the theme’s metadata, which tricks unsuspecting folks into thinking that it’s compatible. But there are no BP template files in the theme at all. (A pretty crappy thing for the author to do, if you ask me.)

Not to worry – you can make the theme compatible by installing the BuddyPress Template Pack: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

DFA this is a great idea! I’ve been looking for one like crazy for the site im building. its for the military and their family and friends to help keep them connected, and a huuuuuge aspect of it will be chat, specifically video chat. but i cant seem to find a decent video chat plugin. please oh please build this plugin lol. it would be greaaaaaaaatly appreciated. Thanks!

im hoping for a nice chat/video chat implement for buddypress, anyone know of one?

Thnak you Sofian

Andrea,
If e-mails are not related to the theme, why does it work with the default theme, and not with arras?

Tom, you should read this, esp. Server and WP configurations https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

== Q: How do I ensure mod-rewrite is enabled? If it’s a matter of making log entries in wp with ‘other than default permalinks’ selected, then this is fine and I can post to the wp blog. ==

But is your URI “pretty”? As in looking like http://yoursite.com/about and not http://yoursite.com/?page_id=2

If it’s the latter, then your mod_rewrite is not working or not enabled. Are you on Linux/Unix server or Windows?

Find .htaccess located at root of your WP installation. So if you installed WP in domain root, you would find .htaccess file here http://yourdomain.com/.htaccess If you have access to cpanel, open it up with editor and copy the content and paste here.

== and NOT via webhost scripts ==

Webhost scripts being referred to here are simplescripts and fantastico, etc provided by webhosting services which have caused many issues especially with BP.

A manual installation just involves uploading WP files to server via FTP/cpanel/etc, creating database, then running http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/install.php and going through the process.

== I have now installed BP/WP on the root folder for the domain whereas I had it under the subdir blog. ==

Not exactly what it’s meant, but it’s good that you have WordPress at domain root.

After you have successfully installed WP and set permalinks to other than the default permalink in dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks, you need to check that you have pretty permalinks working.

Then go to dashboard menu Plugins > Add New, install then activate BuddyPress plugin.

is no one using the BP Chat module from Buddydev.com… its free… and kinda decent… http://buddydev.com/buddypress/bp-chat-a-facebook-like-chatting-plugin-for-buddypress/

am sure it’ll be improved as time goes on by, but right now there are a few holes in it still… was wondering if there is a better alternative out there…

Check out template pack example https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

There’s a plugin for this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

It’s an older plugin and the developer is now busy with other projects, so you’ll need to update the plugin manually so the admin menu will show up in WP.

Read this tutorial:
http://code.ipstenu.org/2011/wordpress-3-1-network-menu/

(Edit) Just read the full post, you want to hide it from group feeds only? Or throughout the site? If throughout the site, the plugin will do the job. If only on group feeds, you can take the basic premise from the plugin, then you’ll need to do a conditional to check if you’re in a BP feed.

@boonebgorges – Looks like the button hooks are missing in BP Template Pack:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L339

This will fix the issue stevieg is experiencing.
