Thank you for your interest in the problem here sir
Step 3. All done! Configuration settings have been saved to the file bb-config.php in the root of your WordPress install.

Never mind, I’ve found a solution
Thanks for the help anyway!
After experimenting with some of the suggestions here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-forums-group-forums-not-working/?topic_page=2&num=15 [which may work for others?] I deleted BuddyPress and bbPress and resintalled only BuddyPress.
I think created a new group and turned off enable forum and then turned it back on.
At last I have created my first topic.
NB when deleting and reinstalling BuddyPress
a. for some reason the BuddyPress and bbPress directories (folders) were not deleted [ie viewing using FTP program …./Plugins/BuddyPress still existed – so I renamed that folder even tho FTP says it doesn’t exist.
To short cut that I deleted the bbPress folder using FTP and I also made sure that bb-config.php was gone from the root.
b. When I reinstalled BuddyPress the ‘nag’ referred to in the Codex [https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/] did not appear and all my settings were as they had been EXCEPT that Group forums were not installed [which was what I wanted]. So I reinstalled them and hey presto everything seems to work.
Thank you Gordon. I like buddypress, but if this problem persists, I will be forced to look at other options.
Thanks Paul, Just making sure..
Hi Everyone-
I am using WP 3.4.2 and the latest versions of BuddyPress and WPMember. My client wants to create a social community that is only accessible once a user has purchased a membership. So the social community should not be accessible site wide. A user should only be able to create a profile after purchasing a membership and logging in.
Is this possible to set up. WPMember support believes that it is only possible to implement buddy press site wide and cannot be restricted/hidden from non paying users.
Anyone have any experience using BuddyPress on a membership site. Any help/guidance/ideas or instruction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much
Matt
for what it’s work sign up works under these conditions:
1. Standard theme, no plug ins, email from hotmail account
But not under these:
2. Preferred theme [Whitelight BuddyPress child from LabZip – which otherwise works fine], plugins on, GMX.com account.
I suspect the GMX account as an unusual kind of redirect appears to happen.
Once I get my other problem fixed I’ll try the preferred theme with GMX and see what happens.

You need to convert SMF into bbPress. bbPress is a forum, like SMF, so you need to convert from like-to-like. I’m not sure if bbPress has an importer for SMF, but check it out: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/
HI Paul, yes the sidebars will not show, no matter what I try.
The theme has the option to select which sidebars show for each post, page, category & archive, none of which will show within the BP pages. In the normal WP pages & posts etc they are all fine.
Also the alignment & spacing all seems way off, of course this is an easy fix in CSS.
I also tried the BuddyPress Template Pack, which of course failed to correct without going through the step 3, but as the files are different to previous versions it was not so easy to correct.
Not sure if it makes a difference, but this is a responsive theme, see http://themes.goodlayers.com/?theme=modernize for theme preview, although I had already changed the look with a child theme.
I need the site to be responsive, so unless I can fix the above or get a date for 1.7 I will have to get a responsive BP base theme to build a child theme for.
Hi Paul. I have sent you an email at the address you provided me with containing 4 activation links that I have used to try and register using buddypress.
@mercime Thanks so much for your response! I did attempt to add them to categories, and these are the results I receive. Not exactly what I’m looking for, but we’re getting closer.

The following user is using BuddyPress/bbPress Forums… I’m guessing they customized a lot of the code themselves. But this is exactly what I’m looking for. How the Forums are separated into categories. It’s very clean, and organized, and you get the bigger preview for each forum inside of each category.

THANKS!
Yes it is frustrating.
And a known issue which makes the continuing presence of the search box rather perverse.
Why not remove it?
Or replace it with a google search box ?
Go to Google type a search term plus site:buddypress.org
[activity meta site:buddypress.org]
I don’t like the font that shows on my current theme but like the one that comes default on the buddypress theme.. how and where can I change this to use the font from the default buddypress theme? I am assuming my current themes style.css?
If I am logged in or not, when I preform a Search at BuddyPress.Org via the Search box it only returns me to the Front Page.
After Log In I do not get any Results from Searches at any other pages either. Very frustrating.
What’s up? Not Searching. lol
Just wondering if buddypress 1.5.7 is fully compatible with wordpress 3.4.2 because I want to start fresh with 1.5.7
I am just learning MultiSite WordPress myself. So far I’ve learned that if I want to edit Templates or Plugins pages for another site, I first have to activate the Theme I want to make changes to as my first level site, the Admin Site, or Edit the Plugin via the Admin site. Then, I go under the Main/Admin Site and edit the Templates or Plugin. After I have everything looking good, then I activate the Theme or Plugin for the actual site where I want to use the Template or Plugin. One must use this method (based on my learning) if one wants to use an external Editor, such as Dreamweaver.
I did notice that the access to the Activity, Sites, Forums, et al only show up in WordPress’s Tool Bar (the dark gray bar at the top of the page) under my Profile Link on the far right, when I am Logged In. I think this part is not clear in the directions, imo. After the initial install of BuddyPress MultiSite, I was able to see a couple of the BuddyPress pages links in the Main Menu of my top Site only after I am logged in.
Since I know I want to edit my Theme for one of the Sites, I have not enabled the separate tables for the additional site. I am going to edit the Theme first and then enable the other sites using the method described at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/using-multisite-with-buddypress/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite/ .
Same thing happens when I run Buddypress on my localhost (MAMP) so I know its not a server problem. I assume `http:// “your web site” /wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-activity ` is off by 5 hours for everybody else?
Hi guys!
I’m pretty sure it’s possible, but I don’t know how… I found some forum posts already addressing this; http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/smf-to-buddypress-forum-conversion/
this: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successfully-convert-smf-2-0-rc1-to-bbpress-1-0/ – Doesn’t show or tell how to do it…
And this: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/third-party-components-plugins/forum/topic/smf-forum-importer/ – However that plugin isn’t updated since SMF 1.1.x and I didn’t manage to make it work with SMF 2.0.2..
And I found a plugin for SMF doing it the opposite way: http://download.simplemachines.org/?converters;software=bbpress
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!
When you refresh the page quite a few times, the slider dosen’t load, just the container of slider loads
I’ve tried recreating the error to get an error-log, but nothing so far.
I was able to recreate the error though where turning off xprofile would mean that pending friendships and the invite friends to groups areas would show “no pending friendships” or a blank list respectively.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help on this @djpaul.
How can I make a custom advanced field within WordPress communicate with BuddyPress profile pages?
Hi
page.php : http://pastebin.com/CXmu9XDU
I’ve created 3 files as indicated in the BP compatibility plugin:
sidebar-buddypress.php
header-buddypress.php
footer-buddypress.php
I put them in wp-content/themes/sahifa but it doesn’t change anything…
Thank you
