BuddyPress.org

@spuntotheratboy I upgraded an installation from BP 1.2.5 / WP 3.0 but I did it step by step, watching up for WP upgrades as well as the BP compatible upgrades.

The first thing I did before the first upgrade was to change to bp-default theme. Then I deactivated the BP-compatible plugins, then the other WP plugins plus renamed bp-custom.php and renamed the mu-plugins folder, then changed to Twenty Ten theme and deactivated BP.

Version by Major version manual (s/FTP) upgrades of WP and BP per compatibility of both and stopping to check the site once in a while to check if BP components are working as expected. For reference re compatibility of WP/BP versions, check out https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/

Are you using the bp-default theme? If you are, are you using a customized homepage template?

Try disabling all your plugins except BuddyPress and see if you are able to see the register link afterwards.

If you’ve created a child theme of bp-default, copy and paste the /activity/index.php template to your child theme.

Next, open up this file and remove the various li entries for All Members, My Favorites and @mentions. This should remove the tabs from the activity directory page.

Agreed with Roger.

You would have to do two things:
* modify the registration template (/registration/register.php) to remove the username field.
* modify the registration validation routine to use the first and last name as the username. If you’re already familiar with WordPress development, the appropriate function to look at is bp_core_validate_user_signup().

Hey buddypress — Any insights here? It’s been 10 months and several people have reported this. It’s even broke on this site.

Please respond.

@sciencefiction68 glad it’s working out for you, good news
Marking this as resolved.

The link to create a group (if group creation is enabled) is available on the groups directory page in bp-default theme. If you want to add the link to your custom theme, the relevant code is in this line https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/index.php#L21

@kissandim you’re welcome. glad you resolved it on your own

De activate all plugins and then delete the 1.2 BuddyPress folder. Then upload 1.5 and activate and go through upgrade process. If you haven’t edited core BP files you should be ok. The plugins may need a one x one activate test to make sure they work.

Please read here first:

The plugin translation had to be in the plugin languages folder

Ola !

You have 2 translation when running BP. One for WP and one for BP
And many plugins using their own mo file. In this case, the translation is in a “lang” or “languages” folder delivered with the plugin.

The wp translation is called es_ES.mo and is in wp-content/languages/es_ES.mo
The BP mo had to be in this same directory wp-content/languages/buddpress-es_ES.mo

You have also to declare your site language in wp-config.php (define(‘WP_LANG’,’es_ES’) and you have to set this, if not already done, in WP’s settings.

If all this is correctly made, all WP/BP strings should be in spanish. If despite correct settings, you have strings in english, it’s probably because you’re using a theme or a plugin with uninternationalized strings.

The template pack has nothing to do with your problem. bp-template-pack is a kind of guide to help you modify/upset non BP compatible themes. The plugin doesn’t need to be in spanish.

To find exactly where your untranslatable strings are, i suggest you to open buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot and look above the word in english, the file name where the word is used. So simple as that !

EDIT: the concerned file is bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/delete-account.php
If you use a custom theme for your install, you have to use the same path:
your_theme/members/single/settings/delete-account.php

In this file, you must have this line 54:
