BuddyPress.org

@gunju2221 we’re in trouble-shooting mode and just crossing out what could have happened to your installation. Sometimes it could be the simplest of things to an issue that requires creating a ticket in trac. All volunteers who help out in these forums asnwer based on what your posted. The more specific info we have on your install, the better. Moving on, have you tried deactivating other plugins except BuddyPress and tried creating a topic? There could be a conflict with plugin which has not been updated for BP 1.2.6.

@twig you can disable commenting on forum topics and blog posts by going to your BuddyPress options in your admin panel

@prionkor yes, it’s clear now. You would have to add the 2nd sidebar yourself in the files moved over to your active WP theme when you went through the BP Template Pack Process.
Here’s a walk-through example which could give you some clues on what to expect or how to proceed – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

Here’s another way of using your current WordPress theme with BuddyPress – http://bp-theme-converts.com/convert-buddypress-theme-to-wp-theme/ See popular WP themes converted- http://bp-theme-converts.com/category/bpthemes/

As for BP Template Pack, it needs to be updated whether it’s for someone who knows how to code or for those who don’t know how to code. Check out Kobe Bryant’s site which uses BP Template Pack http://kb24.com/ specifically for BP components.

Creating The sitewide global/unified search Page for your Buddypress Theme

Hi @rickgoz,

I have bought from my freelance a plugin that remove login choice on signup. It generate an username “user43fr53hzet56….” for each new member.
After activation, in user account, each user can change this username only ONE TIME on what he want, to have better user slug. User page can be catch with http://example.com/auto_username, AND http://example.com/custom_username by auto insert on .htaccess
If user missed something and want change again his username, you have just to delete the user line in the plugin table.

I think this plugin with “email login” plugin should make you happy.

As I am not php coder, I can’t assume any support for this. But if someone want update this plugin…

I wouldn’t use the template pack. I’d create my own framework with the bp files inside or call them via a child theme. There isn’t a right or wrong way but the template pack is really for someone who isn’t capable of coding and a quick start to adding BP to an existing WordPress. If you go the template pack route then the files could be out of sync with the BP core.

I FINALLY got it to work. Had to totally uninstall wordpress and start from scratch on setting up a mu site, but it works. My recommendation to anyone else who is encountering this error… Do not use the Buddypress theme template pack that automatically reorganized your theme. Just install Buddypress and then enable a buddypress compatible theme. If you use the template pack and then install and activate a compatible theme, things may go sideways.

Remember, you can always start from scratch. Good luck. -B

BP/WP versions?

@Buckycat7 no apologies necessary. Many ways to go about theming the BP Project. On my end, if BuddyPress is a section of a full-blown CMS, then I would create a child theme of my framework and install the BP Template Pack (not yet updated for BP 1.2.6 however) in secondary blog of multisite and adjust HTML/CSS of template pack accordingly. If the project is full-blast social networking project, I would create a bp-default child theme and work from there. Welcome to BuddyPress.

I’m also looking for this exact solution. But in the meantime, I’m thinking about using 3 separate installs: The “main” page would be a normal WP install that would highlight activity from two buddypress blogs (members wouldn’t sign in here). The two separate installs would be BP installations (my group wants distinct styling for each of these BP installations): all I want to do is share users and login credentials between the two BP installations.

I’ve had a similar forum problem on one of my installs of BuddyPress – and I’ve not been able to solve it. But I haven’t tried very hard. I too am interested in any troubleshooting adice for this issue

@r-a-y … cheers

Fair enough, hnla. I’ve started a thread at: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/installing-on-a-secondary-subdomain-getting-permission-accesss-denial/?_wpnonce=7057b25869#post-80347

but just wanted to chime in and say I was having the same problem. If I don’t get much traction with help on that separate thread, I’ll try posting the details here for the community to track. Thanks for the help. I still can’t seem to get this to function correctly and am considering scraping the site and starting over if I can’t fix this today. (It’s a new install with only a few pages so far)

Just to add to this thread, here is the post I placed on the thread above:
“Hey all,

I’ve gotten this working before for a separate project, but am running into a little difficulty installing Buddypress on this new site. Wondering if someone can help out.

I’ve followed the steps written at: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

And am trying to install buddypress on a subdomain http://artambassador.net/artisthub (Blog id #5) but after I implement the htaccess redirect and the additional code to the wp-config.php file, I continue to get :
” Permission Denied
Not Found / No Access

The page you are looking for either does not exist, or you do not have the permissions to access it.”

When I try an reinstall the plugin, that subdomain give me the message:
“Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared in /home/gwenda/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:20) in /home/gwenda/public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-social/_inc/ajax.php on line 63”

Does anyone have a sense of what may be going on and how I can fix this?

(additional post)
btw: I’m using bp-default theme and the switching it to bp-social from wpmudev group. Also, the problem began occurring after I used the Buddypress theme pack.

The default pages that are associated with Buddypress do not appear to be there. Even when I create them by hand, the themes functions, i.e activity, does not appear on the page when it is manually created. (Just a standard page called activity) Just wanted to update the ticket and see if that helped.

Thanks in advance for the help!”

Very cool, nice job @rogercoathup

copy login form from line 40 to 52 of https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.6/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php
look at codes before and after those lines and see which other parts you need in your theme.
this is assuming you have the BP Template Pack installed and working with your WP theme.

“I am working with a two column site where i installed BuddyPress”
Not clear whether your current theme is WordPress theme with BP Template Pack or are you using child theme of bp-default theme. Adding sidebar to bp-component pages involves the same amount of work as adding a sidebar to a regular WordPress theme. You might also want to check this out – https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates and widgetize it.
Add http://bp-theme-converts.com/buddypress-log-inout-widget/
Then change the old static page in front page to the new one you created. After all, there can only be one home page, normally.

@rogercoathup very very nice child theme! Well done

Create a file called bp-custom.php, put that file in your plugins folder and add all your functions to customize BuddyPress in this file.

https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

It says to use wp-config but don’t. Use bp-custom file then you wont ever loose the settings

Hi @travel-junkie,

A group can be a winery, a winery can have many castle.

So, I need a tab that display all “castle” which have their own page. I think your plugin could be a solution to me.
