== when I make a text widget of any type they only seem to show on the main page. ==
That is strange, I see no evidence of a text widget in the home page nor in the inside pages, did you already delete the text widget?
Troubleshooting –
1. Deactivate ALL plugins except BuddyPress. Now add text widget – not Adsense, just a regular one – and I believe the regular text widgets will show up in all pages. It might just be that your Adsense plugin is not working as expected or has got a conflict with other plugins installed in your site.
2. Deactivate ALL plugins except the Google Adsense plugin and change theme to default twentyten theme. Add the adsense widget. If the Ads don’t show up, then you have to resolve this issue at the WordPress.org forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks and reference whichever Google Adsense plugin you are using
Added a version which is stable and all errors sorted out. Only thing left to do; is work on the styling of the main nav bar as anything other that of ‘home’ selected doesn’t reflect the selected colour..
The guy reviewing my theme has pointed out that there should be a option to disable/enable the admin bar. Iv’e documented this in the readme.txt so Im not going to bother with it and he also pointed out that having a crap load of menus will kinda break the theme – if you want to use that many menus, good luck! link to the menu
I specifically included the custom menu/drop down menus as to reduce ‘cluttered menus’.
In early BP versions, there used to be a few handy pre-populated profile fields – including a country list (I think).
Would be nice to have them back. As @djpaul suggests, some SQL and a bit of plugin coding should do the trick…. Paul: is there a nice schematic of the xprofile tables available?
Timing! I suspect the thumbnail is getting created by your plugin after the BuddyPress activity create hook.
I’ll clarify when I say “upgrade BuddyPress”, I mean update the files and reactivate the plugin, then visit the plugins page in wp-admin. Then before the next step, deactivate BuddyPress. You won’t need to toggle between the BP Default theme during this.
Backup everything — entire web root folders and the SQL database. Check the backups work. It never hurts to keep a backup of the backup somewhere, perhaps on another computer. The idea being is that if you have to delete everything and start out from scratch, you know you’ll be able to get back to where you are now.
You will have to re-build your theme, as the BuddyPress theme structure changed since the version you are using. You’ll probably be able to keep your WordPress theme, but you’ll essentially have to build a new BuddyPress theme, or be happy with using the (new) default BuddyPress theme. You can check out the default theme on http://testbp.org/.
I would suggest you get your theme sorted out before you upgrade.
It’d be massively easier starting from scratch with a new BuddyPress installation, but I’m assuming you can’t do that. The upgrade process from this old versions will be complex. Definitely do it in steps, don’t jump to the latest version.
0) Disable BuddyPress and all other plugins. Revert to standard WP theme. Get WPMU upgraded to 2.9.2.
1) Get BuddyPress updated to 1.1.3.
2) Get new theme ready (or use BP-Default) and then upgrade to BuddyPress 1.2.4
3) Upgrade WPMU to WP 3.1.1 (latest version)
4) Upgrade BP to 1.2.8 (latest version)
You’ll need to test this upgrade process / order of events before you have a go on your live site. Set up a local test site, or on a test server, and try this there. I haven’t done any upgrades like this (keeping the data from an old version), but good luck
I made it!
Here is solution:
1) delete buddypress.
2) It might be useful to check if the tables for bbpress were deleted. Check also there is no bb-config.php in the web root folder.
3) reinstall buddypress
4) change ‘TYPE = MYISAM’ to ‘ENGINE = MYISAM’ in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php before creating groups and using forums.
5) create groups and test forums.
And I find it here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bbpress-posting-errors-missing-database-tables/?topic_page=2&num=15
Am attempting to implement some of the ideas from this forum, particularly those from the post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-spam/?topic_page=3&num=15#post-69499
Would really appreciate some guidance in order to do this correctly. Some of this may appear stupid –
My Set up is the following-BuddyPress installation on a subsite.
a) Multisite with subdirectories http://examplesite.com/ – http://examplesite.com/subsite1 – http://examplesite.com/subsite2 – http://examplesite.com/subsite3 etc etc.
b)BuddyPress installed on a subdirectory. say on http://examplesite.com/subsite3
c) So that there is a consistent signup interface I have redirected the signup of http://examplesite.com/ from http://examplesite.com/wp-signup.php to http://examplesite.com/subsite3/register via a plugin Quick Page/Post Redirect. Before doing this the signups at http://examplesite.com/ were going to http://examplesite.com/wp-signup.php and from anywhere else were going to http://examplesite.com/subsite3/register.
Question 1
With regard to
1)# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
2)RewriteEngine On
3)RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
4)RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-signup.php*
5)RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.examplesite.com. [OR]
6)RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
7)RewriteRule (.*) http://examplesite.com/goaway.html [R=301,L]
A) In line 4 what do I replace .wp-signup.php* with ? Is it .register.php* ? or is it .subsite3/register.php ?? or is it something else ???
In line 5 do i replace !.examplesite.com. with anything ? say !.examplesite.com/subsite3. ???
Question 2
With regard to “changing the register slug”
A) does this mean changing the name of the file register.php ??? or something else ??? and inserting define( “BP_REGISTER_SLUG”, “your-registration-slug” ); with the new name replacing “your-registration-slug” say retsiger.php or with some other name?
Would it then be necessary to go into the plugins like say Buddypress Humanity and change any references to register.php to whatever its name has been changed to or is that taken care of by the define( statement )) ??
Question 3
If the site was http://www.examplesite.com/ instead of http://examplesite.com/ would there be any changes to your advice ?
Question 4
In my .htaccess file there is already a line “RewriteEngine On” . Do I still include line 2 of the above?
Question 5
Is there any particular place in the .htaccess file where the above code should be inserted ?
Many Thanks
@r-a-y, I found a little incompatibility with your code, and with The “bp unread posts” plugin, it seems that this code is making it not to appear
`function bp_unread_posts_record_activity() {
global $bp;
global $forum_template;
if ( bp_has_forum_topic_posts() ) $bb_this_thread = $forum_template->topic->topic_id;
if (empty($bb_this_thread)) {
return $null;
}
$bbtype = ‘last_visits_user_’;
$bbuser = $bp->loggedin_user->id;
$bb_this_visit_time = strtotime($forum_template->topic->topic_time);
$bb_last_visit = bb_get_topicmeta($bb_this_thread, $bbtype . $bbuser);
if($bb_last_visit != $bb_this_visit_time) {
bb_update_topicmeta($bb_this_thread, $bbtype . $bbuser, $bb_this_visit_time);
}
}`
what is making it not appear?
the “add featured thumbnail” option on the editing screen doesnt show up… its wierd because it works on my local machine but not on the server…
Yes. Any WordPress plugins that extends the user authentication should work just fine with BuddyPress 
@all
The new BuddyBuilder v1.2 now includes over 160 customization options! (Geez… will it never end? Nope.)
Especially fun in this update is the Header Image Rotator: you can display up to 8 images in random or ordered rotation in your header, complete with animated descriptions. You have full control over image display time; fade-in/out speed; description size, location, animation speed… and much more.
See details here: http://buddylite.com/2011/notices/new-in-buddybuilder-v1-2/
Questions? Don’t be shy… ask here or in the BuddyBuilder forum at: http://buddylite.com/groups/premium-support/forum/
== thumbnails of next and previous images ==
@famous next and previous thumbnail images are shown by template tags –
One quick solution for an image.php file:
– copy bp-default theme’s index.php and save to your child theme folder
– open up index.php and replace the following lines:
Replace
<div class="entry">
</div>
With
<div class="entry">
ID, 'large' ); ?>
</div>
Replace
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"></div>
<div class="alignright"></div>
</div>
With
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"></div>
<div class="alignright"></div>
</div>
Replace
<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="" rel="bookmark" title=" "></a></h2>
With
<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="post_parent); ?>" rel="attachment">post_parent); ?> </a></h2>

Default theme BuddyPress, no other plugins – BP was first… WP 3.1.1 and BP 1.2.8
@hnla lol dude sorry im a fool. ‘*space*odd’
Working great >.<
This is exactly what I want to try and do. Mingle I think has outlived it’s purpose at http://ecigusers.com and I’m trying to migrate to buddypress but I have around 29 users and a steadily growing forum built in using mingle forum, Both Mingle and Buddypress can be activated at the same time I have found but the menu system thats semi-transparent on the header is a knighmare to navigate. If I re-activate buddypress could someone take a quick look at the site and make suggestions as to what I can do.
It’s a feature that went trough a name change or two, the option is on your create or edit Post view named as ‘Featured Image’ other than that what do you mean ‘is not showing up’
Hi @hnla it’s a 500 error – I will see if there is anything in the server logs
I do have cloudflare running, I’m not sure if that might be causing an issue
I’m testing this very thing I have 29 users on ecigusers.com both plugins have very different features that attract me to them. I also have a plugin called mingle forum which seems to work even with buddypress activated but the menu system is all over the shop. Is there an extention that anyone knows of that can add a custom menu to buddypress??
You are going to need to supply a little more detail on the events as there is too little to formulate much of an opinion on what is happening.
Simply deactivating BP should not produce a server error- what server error? they are generally given error codes to narrow down what issue the server is happening. What do your server logs say? these are the first port of call when encountering issues with servers as they will provide detail as to what was happening or instruction attempted to complete but failed for whatever reason.
I increased the memory to 64mb and that did solve the problem of running out of memory. There are a vast number of notices that show up in debug mode but I’ll post a new thread about them.
