Did you try repairing the wp_bp_activity table?

Looks like it’s using strings from the currently-in-development BP 1.3

Ping @boonebgorges.

There is no plugin available for this at the moment, but it is possible (like most things).

I skipped the part that said you moved your DB to a new server.

Make sure your wp-config.php has the correct information with regards to your DB host.

A good way to check if the activity component is working is to disable the sitewide activity widget and then use the regular activity form to post.

See if activity posting works then. If it doesn’t try repairing the wp_bp_activity_table in the DB.

Easy way is to modify `/activity/entry.php` in your child theme.

The other (and better) way — if you know your way around WordPress filters — is to hook into the “bp_get_activity_css_class” filter located in bp-activity-templatetags.php.

That’s a 3rd-party plugin by Buddydev.com:
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget-for-buddypress-1-2-and-above/

I’d recommend you post on their site to get support.

Anything is possible, though that example is a little more specific.

You could do something with the topic template:
/groups/single/forum/topic.php

Check if the post is not the first post in the topic, then check to see if that post is yours or not with `bp_get_the_topic_is_mine()`.

Hopefully that gives you a few hints to run with.

I have one solution here for you, although it’ll be up to you to deal with cross browser compatibility as far as the css goes. If the second sidebar is not going to be present on every page, you are going to have problems using this code. ….. be warned!!!

If you are doing this on a live site, make sure you have full backups of your template files. I set this up on an install that I’m playing around with. Its not a live site, it is a place for me to muck around with wordpress and buddypress.

This is just a starting point, but if you know your css you should be just fine

Step 1.

We’ll start with single.php here. this file is found in the bp-default theme folder

around line 57, find this code:

“

Copy that, and paste it a second time right below itself. Add a 2 to the part that says sidebar.php so your two lines now look like this:
“
“

move those two lines to lines 2 and 3, right below
“

Step 2.

Now copy and save sidebar.php as a second file called sidebar2.php. Put that file in the bp-default theme folder so that now you have sidebar.php and sidebar2.php both in there. Open sidebar2.php in a text editor and change the first div at the top from `

No plugin exists for this at the moment.

This has to be manually coded. If you’re a plugin developer, check out this codex article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

And also check out the groupmeta functions in /bp-groups.php.

There are a few threads about this on buddypress.org. I’d suggest doing a search on Google.

An example can be found here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/profile-fields-for-groups#post-78706

== a comprehensive online listing of all buddypress plugins and their compatibility issues – with WP 3.x and among each others ==

That would a great BP community project if members could/would submit their lists of compatible/incompatible BP plugins. Also would be great if someone could check code of current BP plugins if these were updated to meet this http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/02/24/updating-your-buddypress-plugins-for-1-2-8/

it would be cool if at the very least, something like what Andy Peatling came up with before for previously released BP plugins when BP 1.2 rolled out.

As would I. I am using a buddypress installation to manage organizations as groups, and need to add the org’s address, and other info. Is this possible?

Thanks!

@gregfielding have you resolved this issue yet? I encountered same problem on WP install subdomain structure with domain mapping on some subsites while testing some plugins last month – so it’s not exactly the same scenario as yours. I was able to resolve this by resetting Permalinks to what it was before in backends of main site and two subsites (without mapped domains). It worked for all sites in that install. Good luck.

Looks like you’re on single WP. Are you on Linux or Windows server? Have you checked out this Codex info – https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks?

Deactivate BuddyPress and resolve permalink structure first.

Open up your site’s .htaccess file and compare it to example in article above. If different, then save a copy of your .htaccess file to a safe place, and replace what’s in .htaccess file in your server with what’s posted in article above related to your server setup.

If that doesn’t resolve your issue, you can get more assistance at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

@cezar yes I did. It only remove the white part still errors. There saying its fix but I dont see the fix at all. No ware does it show an update.

My aproach seems to be a little too systematic – however I would like to ask if there is a comprehensive online listing of all buddypress plugins and their compatibility issues – with WP 3.x and among each others? This could be just one big table, however I could not find anything like this. I am not talking about the “works / work not” thing at the WP plugin site – it should be something more overviewable and it would be great to have an API so plugins could check for dependencies and compatibility issues. Is there anything like this?

Video playback appears to have broken in WP 3.1

If you want to run a network(s) of sites, enable multisite, otherwise don’t. Easy as that.
