BuddyPress.org

@kozmica check if your theme has been “template-packed” already. If not, then follow the steps on that page at the top. If you need assistance, post back here.

@jetgirlart I agree with @tedzz , their live chat techs know what they’re talking about. Client had been with them for a long time and wanted to add BuddyPress. Chatted with tech about client’s path to VPS from shared hosting if/when needed. I installed BP and went through installation Wizard plus using BP Template Pack, no issues on Linux.

@dexpositoromero.
Thanks for the solution.
It worked!!

@jafar1374 you’re welcome. marking this as resolved

@fmeroney Disclaimer: the following plugin is compatible to WP 3.1.4 but it’s still working in my WP 3.3.2 and BP 1.5.5 install. Read the installation instruction https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-edit-user-profiles/

@verteus BuddyPress requires “pretty permalinks” which means you need to choose permalink other than the default permalink. Then go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages and save Page settings assigned to BP components.

@pipetko initial scan:
a) you’re using an outdated plugin (BuddyStream);
b) jQuery 1.6.4 version is enqueued per source while WP/BP uses jQuery 1.7.1;
c) if you need assistance with the BP Album plugin, start a New Topic at plugin’s forums https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/

@abbas667 Please clarify “wordpress ver 3.2.2” is a typo? It’s actually wordpress ver 3.3.2 ? Otherwise, that’s the major blocker.

More of the outdated plugin issue and possibly a theme issue, not sure. The best thing is to set up BuddyPress and check everything out using bp-default theme without other plugins activated. When everything’s doing as expected, only then do you change to custom theme and add on plugins (only those which have been upgraded to current WP/BP versions). That way, you’ll know when anything goes wonky and can fix it asap. Only my 2 cents.

@markyeoj what I see are some custom modifications on your end that went awry. Change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins, I believe issues will be corrected.
P.S. after I log in, I get redirected to this same topic and I have to go to dev.freelanceu.net/zim/fitnessdiary/ not good.

@jyhash Are the issues resolved if you change to twenty eleven and deactivate BuddyPress?

The secondary avatars are registered within the functions.php
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L554

To remove it for groups, add this to your child theme’s functions and it will override the parent themes version.

function bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars( $action, $activity ) {
switch ( $activity->component ) {
case 'friends' :
// Only insert avatar if one exists
if ( $secondary_avatar = bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() ) {
$reverse_content = strrev( $action );
$position        = strpos( $reverse_content, 'a<' );
$action          = substr_replace( $action, $secondary_avatar, -$position - 2, 0 );
}
break;
}

return $action;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta', 'bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars', 10, 2 );

@katharinentheke I use SyntaxHighlighter Evolved and it’s working well in my bp-default child theme – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ and how to post code at http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/
