BuddyPress.org

Thanks for the suggestion @wceolin

I found the following in functions.php which seems to be the code I need to replace:

`

`

I don’t know how to replace the code in functions.php – I’m happy to look up how to do that, but before I do I just wanted to check this is definitely the code I need to replace and I’m not barking up the wrong tree!

OK.
I have it running.

I had to enable ‘Show adminbar on the homepage’ in GenesisConnect Settings.
This displayed the BuddyPress admin bar at the top of my homepage where I was being redirected on logging in. *Then* I was able to use the BuddyPress admin bar to log in to WordPress.

This was very confusing.

I kept expecting to go straight to the old WordPress admin area after logging in.

@mercime

==You create one in custom menu. What theme are you using?.
default BP them

The menu “Forum” link only shows up if you install “group forums”.

The instructions on the page you gave are misleading because the screenshots for configuration (Step 9) show a menu link to the forums, when in reality there is no such menu link.

Perhaps since you say I need to create a menu to access the forums, this should be included in the instructions page.

Hi @r-a-y

I checked my bp-custom.php, which looks like this: http://pastebin.com/Tp861Dy9

And your code was already in there.However autocomplete still doesnt work.

Im using the bp-default theme.

@mercime – much thanks for your time…this has been a REAL bugger to figure out (and I”m getting nowhere)….

Well….this is sorta weird. I don’t see a .htaccess file (am using Dreamweaver) on the server…BUT, I do have one locally (no idea why there’s one there, but not on the server – it’s been over a year ago since I’ve set this up originally and the mind is getting a bit rusty Should I upload the local .htaccess below to my root directory of network it.com you think?

The local version reads like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

SetEnv TZ America/United_States/New_York

After further thought; it can’t be the .htaccess.

The URLs are not being redirected- they are where I want to go.

It’s the content that’s incorrect; which seems that it’s one of the buddypress options to ‘select page’ to show the content on; however, I’ve delected the page, created a new one, etc in trying to get this to work – it’s a buddypress/wordpress issue – not an .htaccess one.

@davidveldt -This sounds like something that I have yet to do… what exactly should I be changing these things to? This is where my ‘newbie’ status’ comes into play. I have deactivated all plugins and went to the default theme, and still recieved the ‘forum not setup’ error again for the groups…

I am thinking that this may be exactly what I need to update, but don’t know what I should update my wp-config.php file to exactly? (as in my BBDB_NAME, BBDB_USER, BBDB_PASSWORD and BBDB_HOST files).

Your help is damn appreciated with all of this!

Should I be putting my own information or is there something special that goes here?

Thank you all!

@mercime, so without making any changes to any files directly, I simply added your “BuddyPress Compatibility Style Mods” to my style.css and bam it fixed the alignment issues I was encountering but I would now like to start customizing buddy press. Without asking for too much, I would like to change the general backgrounds of the profile pages and really any page associated with buddy press to white. I was hoping you might no the name of the tag to call upon in order to do this. thanks again for the your assistance already, it’s been extremely helpful.

I thought that this was likely the answer:
http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/genesis-connect

Special plugin from StudioPress ($50) to run with BuddyPress if you’re running the Genesis Framework.

Still have the same problem.
Have posted prob to StudioPress forum and they are currently responding.

Hi Mercime.

Genesis is the theme I’ve had running for six months since I first launched kairoscanada.org.
I’ll check in at StudioPress (who make Genesis) re. problems installing BuddyPress.
They’ve been good in providing support.
Will let forum know if they have any answers.

Thanks for the tips.

Wordpress is 3.3.1, BuddyPress is 1.5.3.1 and Dynamic Widgets is 1.4.2 which is out of date (latest is 1.5) however the list of fixes doesn’t include anything that seems to be related to this problem.

TIA,
