BuddyPress.org

Well I think the only problem was the theme. The theme used in 1.1.2 was that parent child thing. When I put the bp-default from 1.2.8 in everything works (so far). However everything REALLY looks bad. so off to themeville. Still wonder about splog signups, do I need to do anything?

@DJPaul @nexia Thanks for the replies guys.

The only thing in my footer is a tag cloud widget which is the generic one built into wordpress?

I have deactivated all plugins when the new password is set and that doesn’t help and this occurs in EVERY theme so it’s not my theme.

It’s really bizarre. I’m going to get Boris to take a look over FTP but if we can’t find anything would you guys be prepared to take a look?

One thing I have noticed is that with the MYSQL DB for this site, there are no users attached to it, so it is just one DB and one password for it. On my other sites the install seems to have created a user for the DB which is set the same in wp-config so that even when you change your main passwords the user password is unchanged and therefore you don’t have to edit wp-config.

Saying this I’ve tried setting up a user and changed the details in wp-config to match and the problem still persists. The entire site works except for the footer not showing.

Bloody odd.

You can see the site and footer showing at the mo at http://www.actonthis.co

The bbpress forums/groups sucks! i would like to use phpbb with the buddypress messaging system/activity/members and avatars.

@pcwriter Hello I tried this, however I get a huge list of all the pages on the site?

I see that one of the CUNY Academic Commons groups has a tab that another group does not:

http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/games-teaching-and-learning/ – has a “Visit Blog” tab

http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gc-comp-rhet-area-group/ – does not have a “Visit Blog” tab

This makes is seem as if it is possible to show different tabs to different groups within a single BuddyPress installation, but I want to confirm whether this can be applied to all different types of tabs or if it is functionality that is specific to the blog that can be tied to a specific BP group.

Thanks,
Adam

Because my entire site is setup around buddypress. i have alot of plugins like achievements; cube points etc and i really like the messaging system of buddypress. After all the configuring of my website i would hate to ditch buddypress already when members are just getting use to it.

@liping this is what i have!
when you press on the user link you go to his profile /members/userName
and the screen you see in the sub nav is activity
what i want to know is what setting the defult screen on the profile single page
setting your sub nav to be first not working

i know it’s somthing with the $bp global defult component just didnt know how to do it.
well here is the solution:

`define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”,”profile”);`

@pcwriter … my goal is not to use the original adminbar, but to integrate the whole content of the BP-adminbar into the original WP-adminbar instead of replacing it… making it more compatible with 3.1…

btw, i did it… will release it on my site for support… until BP do the same!

Thanks – I will give it another try (I backed it out already). I have some people that did work on their blogs that want to use it again so I did not want to clean out their work. related question; is the splogger situation better (thats what killed it for me originally) I would like to moderate any new registration and keep the spammers away.

Thanks again for your help.
