BuddyPress.org

@faithcoach first of all, you’re using a theme which needs to be updated to recommended coding standards 🙂

At this point however, we will proceed with the original tags in your template files. Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your WP DaVinci theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

When a user registers an account on your site, they’ll be sent an email with the key/link.

@faithcoach where’s the code for your theme’s page.php? And what is the name of your theme and/or URI of the theme?

@teoh89 No, you do not need a plugin for that. You just need to install the Forums for Groups under dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums and you’re good to go https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

> By default on my install, BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE was “true”. I’m not sure why.

I’m not sure why either. By default, BP does not define it at all, much less to `true`. It sounds like setting it to `false` has solved your problem. (In brief, when `BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE` is true, BP uses the `user_login` to create URLs; otherwise it uses `user_nicename`.)

The reason the `/ragnar/` URL is not working is because, as you can see in the first query above, the user_nicename has been changed to `ragnar-2`. You’ll want to change it back manually, in this case and in any other case where changes have occurred.

There does appear to be a bug somewhere here. I opened a Trac ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4101 Thanks for your help debugging – feel free to follow along there.

This is the original registration form from bp-default theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php

Back up your current registration/register.php then download register.php from link above and upload to your theme’s /registration/ folder. If that doesn’t work, I suggest deactivating BuddyPress and BP plugins then changing to Twenty Eleven theme. Check if registration is working on WordPress alone.

You should post in courseware plugin developer’s forums https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-courseware/forum/

not sure why that is – from any general point in the dashboard backend you should be able to access all sites / network admin what user role do you have? needs to be highest.

Just get in to the general backend then work out your surroundings from the links, MS is somewhat confusing and sadly not that greatly intuitive.

@faithcoach what WP theme are you currently using? Theme demo url?
Open up that theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post generated URI here. Do the same for the theme’s footer.php, sidebar.php, index.php and sidebar.php

don’t dribble information out dump it all in the opening post plaese

MS runs slightly differently you need to look for the link to network admin BP will be installed from there and you’ll be able to access subdomains from there and possibly from adminbar links can’t recall off top of my head without checking.

Check the wp-config.php and see if this line of code has been added:
`define( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );`
If so just remove it. You may want to also try adding /wp-admin to the url after you log-in.
example: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin

Which is usual behaviour! Can you not after login access the dashboard from the BP or WP adminbars or from /wp-admin/

Probably by doing something along the lines of installing ‘buddypress-group documents’ plugin and then in the screen templates doing some magic to only show uploaded docs to the logged_in_user == bp_displayed_user or user is an admin, you should be able to get something working albeit a bit crude.
