I just want to use sitewide forums on my install (not group forums).
I want to use the /forums slug for the base of my sitewide forums, but unfortunately this slug gets ‘hijacked’ by BuddyPress to display it’s forums page (which by default is the group forums directory).
How do we set an install up so that /forums displays the default bbPress forums landing page?
(i.e. how do we get rid of the need to register a forums page?)
Just to confirm, do you mean it’s not showing the group avatar?
I’m not sure but it stopped showing when I enabled Group Forums and it created bb-config.php file
Hmm yeah thank you @rogercoathup for pointing that out – and as a result illustrating why duplicate threads is bad .. it adds to confusion.
@karmatosed – unfortunately, you are helping on yet another duplicate thread from raminjan

@raminjan – stop creating duplicate threads and bump your old ones instead
Hi raminjan, it all depends on your theme really as to what course of action to take. Would it be possible to link to your site to see? You say BuddyPress default but is it customised in any shape?
Failing that usually a sidebar would involve some floating element for instance a pattern could be:
`#newsidebar{
float:right;
width:22%
}`
Just as a check, have you gone to settings > permlinks and reaved? Also can you double check everything by going to BuddyPress and saving your pages to the right pages again.
If that doesn’t work, are you using a cache plugin or something SEO plugin – if so what happens if you clear your cache or (if possible) turn off that plugin? Have you also checked all your plugins are up to date?

Above is the error I received after updating my test server. I too may have to hold off on updating…
@mercime Thanks for the reply, answers are as follows:
* Group Forums
* Custom-built child theme based on Buddypress default theme (as I can’t replicate the problem myself I’ve been unable to test whether the fault persists when I switch themes)
* The only membership plugin I’m using is User Role Editor. I’ve used this to create a new Subscriber role I’ve called ‘Super Subscriber’ which has one extra function. However both ordinary Subscribers and Super Subscribers have reported being able to see these extra icons.
guys I know this might not be buddypress problem but I really am frustrated with wordpress’s Date Picker since it goes up to 2037 I wonder who the heck did that during development is there anything to fix that?
Hi, as stated I just upgraded and I can’t get access to the WP Dashboard. The site looks fine, it just can’t get behind the scenes. When I type in the site and try to get in through /wp-admin I’m presented with only the following error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_loggedin_user_id() in /home/content/84/7713384/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template.php on line 1108
Can someone provide some clarification as to what exactly is happening right now? Thanks in advance!
I’ve achieved the same by hooking into “bp_uri” and “bp_get_group_permalink”
@mercime & @karmatosed The Name of my theme is Wallow. here is my site URL : http://chullanz.co.cc/
here the demo page http://chullanz.co.cc/activity/…
Does anybody know how to use buddypress like with custom post types?
I want to insert a like button into a custom post and also have the activity show up in the streams?
Any Ideas?
Hi there looking for a solution where I can grab the users group avatar and join button to display in their profile header and in other pages.
I’m going to use the limit group creation to one so I will only need to call on the one group.
Any ideas buddypress experts?
Post more info. Are you using an iphone or android, is it the bp-default theme?

Hi, I disabled all my plugins but the same thing still happens.
BUT, I managed to find more information. This happens only on status updates on Private Group.
So is it possible that it’s something like, the BuddyPress didn’t check for the user’s permission when the ajax comment is posted, so when the comments are posted it is treated as “hidden/private” to the person posting it?
It’s a wild guess, but can someone with private groups & BuddyPress 1.6 help confirm this? I’m wondering if it’s just me or does it affect everyone.
Take a look at how BuddyPress Activity Plus appends shortcodes to the end of activity posts. Then, have a look at BuddyPress Activity Stream Hashtags.
The concept would be to append shortcodes or a hashtag on form submission. The hashtag would be interpreted by the activity stream hashtags OR the shortcode would be interpreted during the activity stream loop.
The difference is pre-processing the data to become links or post-processing data when the page loads.
I’m still working on something similar. I need to have it done by tomorrow, so I’ve been a little sloppy about it.
1. Edit activity/post-form.php (modify the form to add your new fields)
2. Add JS to use your selections to insert hashtag or shortcode to the end of the activity textarea.
3. Add filtering links to show hashtag filter OR write custom filtering system
Hope that helps. I’m still crunching!
OK, I have just returned to the previous BuddyPress version (1.5.7) and all is well with the world now. 1.6 doesn’t work for us….
One thing I forgot to mention…the listings functionality I would like to store in a folder that is located either within my current themes directory or somewhere within the buddypress plugin directory. Either location doesn’t matter as long as a separate folder exists.
Thanks again.

@ermito looks like it’s a theme issue – Salutation. To double-check, change to bp-default theme and check if issue is resolved. If it is, then contact Salutation theme author re updating to BP 1.6
Would be happy to help those who are contemplating a massive migration of an Elgg installation to BuddyPress + bbPress. We just did this and learned lots. The site we converted was large…40K VERY active users. 1.9GB database with massive messaging and activity migration from Elgg to BuddyPress and bbPress. All the hosting is done at WPEngine.com. We went through bumps with them, but all is good now. We had to make major performance tweaks to BuddyPress and bbPress to get performance to a professional level. Let’s just say our lead architect “wanted to take a shower every time he looked at the Elgg data model and table structure!” BuddyPress and bbPress was FAR more stable and understandable — thanks to the amazing WordPress community.
BuddyPress + bbPress + WordPress; 100% Responsive Design; Performance was a major priority; Custom data migration from Elgg to BuddyPress + bbPress; migrated 40,000 user accounts and massive amounts of messaging data
Also, hope you backed up. Buddypress 1.6 also killed my site but fortunately I was able to restore the old version. So, BP 1.6 is a no-no at the moment.
