BuddyPress.org

Man this sucks, Deleted my entire site, reinstalled wordpress, buddypress, and still no luck

hello everyone,
i just installed Buddypress, it is up and running only for a minor hiccup. if i click on the “log in” link at the upper part of my screen, i receive page not found. but if i fill out the login form on the right side of the page, i get logged in. can anyone help out with this problem. i expect the “log in” link to display the login form, instead of the ‘page not found’ message it is displaying

No.

You need to mod the temple so it has the same header, sidebar and footer as your theme (redline)

‘php
/**
* Template: Page.php
*
* @package RedLine
* @subpackage Template
*/
get_header();
?>

[Buddypress Pack template code (remove header, sidebar & footer calls]

php get_sidebar(); ?>
php get_footer(); ?>`

The template pack is good for theme developers but its not an easy fix. It will require lots of custom coding and css to look and work right. I think you would be much happier modding the default BP theme. It would only take a little css to get the look of the Redline WP theme.

@lucust

I had the same issue. I found BP hadn’t created bb-config.php at root directory. I just created it and it worked fine.

You have to define some lines like wp-config.php:

define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘dbname’ );
define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘dbuser’ );
define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘dbpass’ );
define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘dbhost’ );
define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘myGLOBALDB’ );
$bb_table_prefix = ‘wp_bb_’;
$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’;
$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’;

I also had to copy those following lines from wp-config.php:
define(‘AUTH_KEY’,”);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ”);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ”);
define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ”);
define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ”);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ”);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ”);
define(‘NONCE_SALT’, ”);

I just did it on my test site and it worked….

My default language in wp-config.php is defined as
`define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en_GB’);`
( see Language codes: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language )

So I placed the buddypress-en_GB.mo and buddypress-en_GB.po in /wp-content/languages

Then logged out and the new message was there in the default sidebar….

Sure can. Two ways. Functions.php or a plugin

@filmoreha – I’m slightly confused,

“I think the codex needs to be updated to say that if you’re only using Site Wide Forums, you need to disable the Discussion Forums component since this is meant for Groups integration.”

As @djpaul said, you dont NEED to disable the group forum component… to have both running at the same time you simply need to ensure their not fighting with each other by ensuring that one of the slugs have been changed.

“Yes I understand you can map the forum’s component to a different page or change the bbPress settings away from “forums” but that isn’t necessary if you ONLY want site wide forums. It’s just easier to disable the Discussion Forum component in BuddyPress settings since that only affects Group Forums.”

This is where i’m confused. Before, you mentioned (or implied?) that the forum component is required to be disabled inorder to use the sitewide forum, but now your stating that you disabled it because of simplicity?

Did i get read this thread the wrong way? Could you clarify what you mean, as i think i ended up in the wrong street…

@Helmi as Paul said, any plugins for wordpress will (should) work. and their IS alot of them (about 177 plugins come up with a search – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=facebook+connect & https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=twitter+login)

Their is also a premium facebook connect plugin designed for Buddypress – http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-facebook-connect-plus/

Facebook book login integration can be done with the WP-FB-Autoconnect plugin. I have tried it myself and it is a solid plugin, however FB avatar support is a tad wonky.

Really will depend on what your needs are. I am actually looking for answers to mapping profile fields between FB and BuddyPress so that I can roll my own integration.

Your BuddyPress directory needs to be called ‘buddypress’, not ‘buddypress-xx’. e.g.
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Note.

Searching through the buddypress .pot file, it seems like you need to ‘translate’ `Please create an account to get started.`

See:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-clear-the-previous-registration-form-data-1/

I’m not aware of any plugins or services that do this, unfortunately. You will probably have to hire a developer to figure it out.
