BuddyPress.org

Here’s a different way to do it. It’s not exactly what I want, but it’s a step forward.
For more info, you can see this: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/move-registration-form-to-home-page
From research, you have to edit slugs to get it to work.
I would be nice to find some examples of editing slugs for bbpress registration form.

Noting that it wants to go to `wp/members` rather than where the buddypress install and BP Compatibility configuration directions had me put that and its other folders (which was in `/wp/wp-content/themes/bp-default`), I copied all the bp-themes directories to where WordPress and the web server are looking for them… `/wp/members`.

The URL that appears in the browser is http://098.765.43.210/members/admin/activity/

That’s not exactly right, though, as the structure “admin/activity” isn’t even part of “members”. The error log reflects this (correctly) as:
`[Tue Mar 08 14:48:36 2011] [error] [client 123.456.789.0] File does not exist: /data01/home/username/production/wp/members/admin`

And so does the access log:
`123.456.789.0 – – [08/Mar/2011:14:48:36 +0000] “GET /members/admin/activity/ HTTP/1.1” 404 301`

So I truncate the URL in the address bar to be http://098.765.43.210/members and now I get a blank page. No source.

The access log now says:
`123.456.789.0 – – [08/Mar/2011:14:53:01 +0000] “GET /members/ HTTP/1.1” 200 -`

But the error log now says:
`[Tue Mar 08 14:53:01 2011] [error] [client 123.456.789.0] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /data01/home/username/production/wp/members/index.php on line 1`

I’m soooo totally baffled by all of this. I thought the BuddyPress installation instructions were pretty straightforward, but it seems to actually work in a whole different way from what is documented.

maybe it has something to do with the membor count starting out as zero or no members atall or something Im lost, should I turn WP_ERROR off and that might bypass this?

Here are example lines from my error log and access log (IP numbers obfuscated for security):

Error log:
`[Tue Mar 08 14:25:49 2011] [error] [client 123.456.789.0] File does not exist: /data01/home/username/production/wp/members, referer: http://098.765.43.210/`

Access log:
`123.456.789.0 – – [08/Mar/2011:14:25:49 +0000] “GET /members/admin/profile/ HTTP/1.1” 404 300`

With Permalinks set to “Month and Name”, a hit to the hello world blog post for this install generates the following error and access log entries:

Error log:
`[Tue Mar 08 14:38:48 2011] [error] [client 123.456.789.0] File does not exist: /data01/home/username/production/wp/2011, referer: http://098.765.43.210/`

Access log:
`123.456.789.0 – – [08/Mar/2011:14:38:48 +0000] “GET /2011/03/hello-world/ HTTP/1.1” 404 298`

Setting the Permalinks to “Day and Name” gives this:

Error log:
`[Tue Mar 08 14:35:02 2011] [error] [client 123.456.789.0] File does not exist: /data01/home/username/production/wp/2011, referer: http://098.765.43.210/`

Access log:
`123.456.789.0 – – [08/Mar/2011:14:35:02 +0000] “GET /2011/03/05/hello-world/ HTTP/1.1” 404 301`

yes buddypress 1.2.8 I looked at the particular line it was talkin about in the error and here is the whole function where the error started….

if ( (int)$this->total_member_count && (int)$this->pag_num ) {
$this->pag_links = paginate_links( array(
‘base’ => add_query_arg( ‘upage’, ‘%#%’ ),
‘format’ => ”,
‘total’ => ceil( (int)$this->total_member_count / (int)$this->pag_num ),
‘current’ => (int)$this->pag_page,
‘prev_text’ => ‘←’,
‘next_text’ => ‘→’,
‘mid_size’ => 1
) );

@boonebgorges not at all, thanks for response boone. I will.

I’ve just realised, through flushing cookies to check again, that these errors are thrown only for logged in users, and in a logged out state, several previous errors no longer get flagged (which is often the way when one thing is predominant in tripping up the validator). When I’m logged out, the output is entirely clean for Tranisitonal, and certainly tweakable for Strict.

Paul,

Thanks for your suggestion. I deleted .htaccess, restarted Apache, did the permalink switch and changed it back, and saw that the .htaccess file was regenerated, but it didn’t fix the problem of getting 404s on everything but the home page.

I’m beginning to wonder if it’s the host. Problem is, the particular (corporate) hosting package i’m using (SAVVIS) is such that I’m responsible for all apps. They don’t support anything above the basic OS setup, so I can’t turn to them for troubleshooting. However, if you can think of anything at the network (maybe the firewall settings?) or OS level that I might be missing, then I could ask them to troubleshoot that part of it all.

may install in one site of multi-site wordpress, only? better install in wordpress only one site, or it does not matter?

Found a solution here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/solution-found-buddypress-wp-31-update-plugins-broken-admin-links-gone

Thank Virtuali ( @gunju2221). I really appreciate it, I will have a look at the code as soon as possible. Thanks again

Specifically, I get this message sitewide:

401 Authorization Required

Invalid login credentials!

an not everthing lines up. when the group widgets dose let you look at new old it just take you to group. just want to find a good theme that i wont have to edit soo much.

Thanks Paul. I did find https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shibboleth/, but installing it broke my .htaccess file for some reason (I couldn’t log back in to the site). I had installed 1.2.7, 3.0.4.
