I didn’t have any luck with that setup either. My working setup for a site-wide forum is
1) Disable the BP Forum component altogether (BuddyPress>Components)
2) Don’t create a “Forum” page. If one exists, I got odd behavior, even if it was in Draft status. (Definitely don’t make a Forums page with the shortcode.)
3) Enable bbPress plugin
4) Create a new forum via the admin menu.
Now, when you go to your bbPress default slug, it should take over and build the page.
After a failed auto-upgrade to 1.5.3.1 (‘could not remove the old plugin’), I manually upgraded (after deactivating all other plugins) by FTP (deleting and re-uploading the new 1.5.3.1 buddypress folder) – so far so good.
Now I can sucessfully re-activate buddypress (all seems to work fine) but when it is enabled, the plugin dashboard still gives me the ‘version 1.5.2 – Please upgrade to 1.5.3.1’ notification. When disabled, it says ‘Buddypress 1.5.3.1 installed’…
– How can I make sure I am on 1.5.3.1?
– How can I disable the notification?
Many thanks.
i don’t want to build a child theme, i simply want to use another header image without using wordpress’ built in header feature.
I’m creating a site for a wedding company. They do weddings all over the world and have local stylists represent the company at the various locations. I’d like to use buddypress for the all the stylists to collaborate and post events and photos. So it would be more of a closed circuit community, not just anyone could join, the site admin would create the new user (stylist.domain.com). Questions: 1. How customizable is the users page? I’d like to make it look nice like it is their personal website. 2. The picture portfolio is very essential. I’d like there to be a photo gallery that a customer could filter down to location, type of wedding, or stylist. Also when a person clicks to view a stylists profile they have their own mini gallery with just their work. Is there is a gallery feature or plugin that handle something like that?
Hi guys, I’ve been looking at a few resources that outline the BuddyPress framework but I’m not seeing anything on how to combine Personal and Mention activity streams.
I have tweaked the Activity stream so that it is only visible between friends or people in the same group and not shared with just anyone. However I’m having some issues figuring out where the filter is applied for the personal stream vs mentions.
Can anyone point me in the right direction and I can take it from there? I’ll even share lol. I’m pretty sure I need to look in the Activity-Functions but I’m not sure which method, etc.
thanks in advance :0)
I am running WP 3.3.1 with BuddyPress 1.5.3.1, and bbPress 2.0
There seems to be no BASE group installed. When I attempt to set up my Profile fields I get this error:
There was an error saving the group. Please try again
You have no groups.
What’s up with that?
Hey Guys!
Thanks @mercine and @Paul Gibbs for the help…
I disabled the BPLabs plugin and the problem disappeared… I wanted to use BPLabs, is there some way to fix this to keep using BPLabs?
Thanks guys!
Hi,
Where (which file, function etc) does BuddyPress create insert statements? I need it to use the _insert_replace_helper function in WP and it doesn’t seem to.
I need to add the record id column with a value to the following statement and others, so as to ensure that a specific range of numbers is used as primary key for each table. I am hoping BuddyPress has a central database handler?
`INSERT INTO wp_bp_group_documents (
user_id,
group_id,
created_ts,
modified_ts,
file,
name,
description,
featured
) VALUES (
2, 7, 1327321941, 1327321941, ‘1327321941-importbuddy.txt’, ‘Import Buddy Test’, ‘Just a test document.’, 0
)`
What exactly are you having trouble with? or are you looking for a developer to pay to get some work done for you?
I want someone to help me install buddypress on my wordpress which runs on commercial theme. Can someone help with going through all admin end?
Thanks
Hiya,
I’ve just today upgraded to the latest version of buddypress and (aside from a series of insane things we had to spend ALL day fixing ) my New Topic link is no longer working.
When the link is clicked on in the forums page it does nothing at all and cannot be opened at all.
Within the groups page, it CAN be right clicked and opened in that manner, but will do nothing when it is clicked on as would normally be done.
Any ideas? Help? A patch or something?
Thanks.
What would be the best way to add a 2nd blog to a buddypress installation? WPMU? and would there be anyway to get it to link together with the current blog? So it’s basically like just one site with 2 blogs and users have access to both blogs?
@conschneider the last we heard is that it was “planned to coincide closely with the release of WordPress 3.3” Source: https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
(@ core devs could we have the roadmap updated to a newer date?
)
But, If you dont want to insert the code into your wp-config file, you can put it into your bp-custom.php file which does the same thing
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/
Buddypress always looks to see if you have a bp-custom.php file in your plugin folder and reads the code in it before it does anything else.
I have found a place to ask about this issue,
https://wordpress.org/tags/events-manager?forum_id=10
I’ll ask over there …
Thanks for your advice @ChrisClayton 
@rizkipratama – Sounds like their is afew issues popping up with the current version of that plugin (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-default-theme-not-showing-events/)
Your best bet would be to contact the plugin developer so that he can ensure he looks into it and include a fix in the next version. http://wp-events-plugin.com/
That’s weird.
Have you tried adding the import plugin and importing your data and THEN (after it’s imported your data) activating buddypress?
@G – looking into the buddypress adminbar stylesheet that bp adds to my site, i believe that that stylesheet has the buddypress specific styles for the ‘toolbar’ (the stuff buddypress adds, such as notifications thus it requires to be in the code (i could be wrong though)
EDIT: You could always remove it if you wanted to – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_deregister_style

@mercime
==== this has been resolved in upcoming BP 1.6===
WP 3.3.1 Network with WPMU Domain Mapping plugin
BP 1.5.3.1
bp-custom.php – define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );
whenever default BP admin bar is disabled (or not served to not-logged-in users), the following non-existent link appears in source for all sites throughout the network:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css?ver=3.3.1
… this adds full 3 seconds to page loads.
also, the following appears no matter what in source of all sites:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js
if you need help testing version 1.6, drop me a line, glad to help.
That will change the background of the header. Was their something else you wanted to change via CSS?
Everything else is practically the same concept, for example removing the header logo, you will want to ad “div#header h1 { display:none; }” ect. ect.
What exactly do you want to change? (you will need to be clear as their are alot of divs and other elements that make up the header)
See the codex on Child Theme’s and Stylesheets regarding where to add it. You will want to implement it into your child theme’s stylesheet. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
@JoeMD Sounds like a theme issue, what theme are you using?

check your settings at: yourdomain.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-settings
make sure option “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” is set to NO
otherwise, do what we all do, research the differences between your 2 installs – you will find it!
Separate issues. For the double page links, check your custom menu in Appearance > Menus. As for the forum, which one did you create, the group forums or the sitewide forums? If group forums, did you associate it with a Page in dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages?
