i am also looking for the answer to this…. when comments are made to a forum topic i need to be notified as well as anyone else in the comment thread…… wouldn;t make sense to have to go back into the forum all the time to see if anyone made a comment….. or am I being ignorant?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks very much for this – haven’t tried it yet but am about to.
But what I think is really needed is simply the option for the group admin to choose the default tab – as part of the group settings.
I wil have several groups that will need different defaults. Can your code accommodate that in some way?
Who is up to writing a plug-in to do that? Not me I’m afraid..!
I also agree that Home should be changed to Activity.

I’ve just published a tutorial about setting up a CDN with Total Cache and MaxCDN. It does wonders for me, and takes care of the parallel loading and serving of your static files through a CDN:

http://bp-tricks.com/featured/the-perfect-cdn-setup-for-buddypress-using-maxcdn-and-w3-total-cache/#comment-174097306

tried w3 total cache on localhost, don’t know how for others, but for my non english installation it caches/saves page text as unknown symbols.

Edit: had to disable page cache and now it works fine, I think so, at least nothing goes wrong.

Im getting a group duplication problem as well when sending invites at the final stage of creating a group? Can anyone shed some light on why this may be happening? Im running wordpress 3.0.2 with buddypress 1.2.6

if you’re on an Mu install you’l have to log in as a super admin and access their admin areas individually for each blog. Although thsi is a buddypress forum so perhaps you want to ask the question on the wordpress forums.

Hey guys, I’m looking at integrating Buddypress to an existing site that uses Wishlist Member and I’m hoping to hear that you’ve tried it and all is fine. Looking forward to hearing great news!!

It really does work with multisite. The component loops will work on subdomains but I think it’ll be a ton of trouble to get the full component features working on a subdomains especially groups. I think I have seen some threads about putting members on a subdomain you might try there.

@WWDay3

Cool, I’m glad it worked out
How about creating a link to showcase your site at http://buddylite.com/links

Sidenote: edited the server directory paths, on a public site it’s best not to show full directory set up.

Installing WordPress in a directory with the same name as one of BuddyPress’ components will break things; it’s a known issue.

== could it be that the root of my bp install is in a subdomain called ‘members’? ==
Your BP/WP is not in a subdomain but rather in either a physical subdirectory or a virtual subdirectory named members. So no, not likely a problem caused by the structure.

1. Just to clarify,
a) you installed WP http://chcalgary.ca/ and then created a network with virtual sub-directory structure. One of sub-directories is http://chcalgary.ca/members , which is where you pointed BuddyPress?
or
b) you installed WP in http://chcalgary.ca/ and then created a physical sub-directory named members and installed another WP there with BP plugin activated?

2. Looks like mod_rewrite is enabled because this URL shows up correctly http://chcalgary.ca/members/category/uncategorized/ so that means you have pretty permalinks. No problem here.

3. Check that your .htaccess file is correct for either WP in physical subdirectory if structure is 1.b. above or in WP in domain root if structure is 1.a. above

4. Check your apache config if directory configured to enable “Options FollowSymLinks” & “AllowOverride All”

Mhm, your install may be broken.

Delete the entire plugin, and re-install buddypress, it should fix it.

– Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and check registration.

Edit- see also different solutions in this thread https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registration-link-redirects-to-home-page/

@larrysmith1000 If you’re created a child theme of bp-default theme, did you surround the code in functions.php file with opening “ at bottom?

Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, clear cache and see if you can now create a group. I assume you did not disable Groups in BuddyPress > Components. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

Btw, what do you mean by “There is no such thing like “Create a group” in the backend.”? You create a group in front end of site.

If I recall, fishbook theme is a child theme of bp-default theme. So if there’s no header.php there, download a copy here https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php – download link at the bottom of the page. Delete lines 61-64, then upload to server wp-content/themes/fishbook folder
