Yes. Have a test install of BuddyPress and look at the “Profile Field Setup” menu item underneath the main “BuddyPress” menu in wp-admin to see what you can do with the profile fields.

Per my previous post, the registration form is at /bp-default/registration/register.php. Copy that into your (child?) theme, preserving directory structure.

-Tested Hnla’s solution, or rechecking in group settings. No-success
-Tested re-installing forums- No success
-Tested going to default theme- No success.

Maybe @hnla can assist me. This man is having problems with forums (error when creating topic), but your solution is not working for him.

He is graciously letting me go in as admin to do some tests, but they all come up negative!

By the way… as I am doing tests, I get a alot of Internal Server Errors…

Ah… the famous “there was an error when creating the topic” problem.

Go to your site, and go to a group than you have individually created. (important!)

Go to groups admin –> Group Settings

Now see the little checkbox “enable discussion forum”?

Un-check it, than recheck it, and go to the bottom and click “save”

Try to create new topic now.

Great tutorial @modemlooper, simple and to the point. Thanks!

create file in your plugins folder called bp-custom.php then add the following code:

<?php
if ( file_exists( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/buddypress//bp-languages/buddypress-en_UK.mo' ) ) {

load_textdomain( 'buddypress', WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/buddypress//bp-languages/buddypress-en_UK.mo' );
}
?>


Take a close look at the nested divs: you’ve got a #content with a #container inside, then another #content inside that. That’s likely gonna throw stuff off.

Also, check if the closing `` at the top of your file is an oversight, or if it’s required in your theme.

What are you trying to do — remove the comment links on comments to BuddyPress profiles, and just let them go to whatever the default in WordPress is?

This is a bit tricky to achieve as it is set when the user account is activated. If you can clarify what the end result needs to be, perhaps there’s another angle of attack which we can use.

I would suggest you use the BuddyPress Profile Fields to record this information — you can view the template used on the registration screen at bp-default/registration/register.php. You can then pull the information out of BuddyPress and just feed the variables to your existing “grab content” query.

See xprofile_get_field_data() in /buddypress/bp-xprofile.php how to retrieve/set this information programatically.

The thing is, the alignment is in all probability controlled by the styling set forth in your active theme’s style.css file. And, instead of posting the content of your style.css here, it would be easier for all concerned if you just post the URL of the affected webpage.

Make sure that you have deactivated all other plugins except BuddyPress. Or better yet, remove them from your plugins directory. And then try to reinstall the BuddyPress forums again.

Or, install a shiny new version of WP/BP in another subdirectory with a fresh database to see if you still experience the forum error. That will help you to at least isolate the issue. It’s pointless to troubleshoot something after you’ve added other plugins and customizations to the mix.

I was using another theme (with several widgets and customization) before installing and using buddypress. After installing buddypress plugin, I just activated a compatible theme.

I think there are probably a number of things that would cause that message but I doubt it’s permissions.

When you installed BuddyPress, did you get the forums working *before* any customizing (plugins/themes)? I’d recommend always doing this when installing or upgrading because it will help you to discover issues before you make customizations of your own.

I’m not sure what to advise, but you might try installing a completely vanilla (untouched) WordPress install in another subdirectory on your domain/server, and then install BuddyPress and and activate the forums on that test install.

If it works on the test install, something you customized along the way is causing the issue and you should begin removing/adding those customizations one by one to pinpoint the problem.

From what I can tell, the $bbdb object is not initialized for the “bb_attachments_post_attachments” function (line 279 of forum-attachments-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php).

Add “`, $bbdb`” after $bb_current_user on line 280 to fix it.

@boonebgorges: ping.

I can’t seem to get a new user signed up either. Seems like this was never sorted out. Does anyone know why it’s not doing it?

It looks like you are trying to use this plugin – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-activity-tags/ – because `Bp_Activity_Tags_Widget` is not in BuddyPress itself.

Try deactivating the plugin or, if you’re unable to log in to the admin, remove `bp-activity-tags` folder from the `wp-content/plugins` directory.

And maybe remove the short-code or widget corresponding to this plugin from your theme as well.

Wouldn’t those be covered by the Achievements plugin, @flowevd?

There was this thread with one solution: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/announcements-tab-like-cuny/

Do you want the data outputted or just a link? This isn’t really a BuddyPress issue.
