@johnjamesjacoby @boonebgorges I was curious what theme the BuddyPress site is using now? I really love how clean it is and have been looking for something or trying to create something very similar.
If you could point me in the right direction (or share some code 
) I would appreciate it!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/faq/ might suggest where the problem lies, if it’s that plugin and it’s compatible….
There are snippets of code circulating on this forum which can lock down buddypress in a similar way.
There is a login and sign up button on the admin bar, but it won’t let me go to any activate page (although the slug could be different
Are you sure the plugin is compatible with bp 1.5.
Buddypress private community fails in https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/ isn’t even mentioned…
I deactivated “private buddypress”……I’m re-checking
hmmm…..I have “private buddypress” plugin…….that is suppose to make much of my site invisible to non-registered users……that’s the only “privacy plugin” I have
Oh, sorry, I forgot to answer your question……I got the list from 2 different places…..the link you provided and a Buddypress forum about custom.php….I just copied what they had (more or less).
Hi, Thanks for answering.
-Buddypress 1.5 with BBpress 2.0.2
-I currently have the permalinks set to /%postname%/
-By setting the links, do you mean under Settings>Forums and Buddypress>Pages? I have done that, but it’s possible I did something wrong.
-When I tell the default theme to activate it changes the theme of the whole website. I already have the rest of the website how I want it with the Stimulus theme.
-yes, I’ve tried deactivating plugins.
Did you change the slugs?…. that was on the other page that I referenced: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
ie: to redefine the slug you would need something like
`define ( ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’, ‘professional-contacts’ );`
in your bp-custom.php file
At the Admin Dashboard select Settings then the Permalinks subsection….
Buddypress does not work properly with the ‘Default’ so select something different.
Save Changes.
If wordpress can’t write to the .htaccess file, it should tell you what you need to manually copy and paste.
The main .htaccess file is normally in the top level of the directory where the wp-config.php file should also be…. In some file systems it may be hidden…
mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.
See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
`”Your post above contradicts your earlier post, and I’m confused at what exactly you think we could do differently to improve your experience.”`
In my first post I responded to @Foxly so no wonder you are taking it the wrong as it won’t make sense to you. I was saying to another third party dev that USING this site for personal support forum is not the best, not that this site sucks.
You’re right, this is the support site for BP not third party plugins. I thought using the group forums here would be a good way to keep things organized and do a little general support for BuddyPress while I was here but I need something to better manage things.
Keep calm and carry on.
Brand new install of BuddyPress, using groups, and I got this error every time I went to ‘new topic’. The error was in global.js:1263, so I checked the file out a little. I noticed the jQuery variable was assigned to be ‘jq’, and ‘jq’ was used throughout nearly the entire file, except the last 50 lines, where the original ‘jQuery’ was used instead.
So I replace every occurence of ‘jQuery’ with ‘jq’, and it worked like a charm! I have not yet noticed any bugs resulting from this.
Let me know if there’s something wrong with my solution. Also, I’m surprised this error even existed and that nobody else spotted it yet.
Just to clarify what theme are you using for this test? Sometimes themes can have an impact so wandering if you are using the default BuddyPress theme or not. Also, can you check you’ve saved your permlinks, .htaccess file and also re save your settings page – just to be doubly sure everything is all set.
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/group-settings-and-roles/ tells you a bit more about roles and groups to hopefully give you some background to what you can expect from those.
@r-a-y:
Thanks – the jQuery conflict was exactly the issue. I appreciate the help!
Hi
I have BuddyPress 1.5.2 installed with WP 3.3, theme is the original Buddypress theme.
When I go up to the buddypress bar at the top to my account>settings>general I get a 404.
In addition, when I go to a group and then to the “admin” tab I either get a 404 or simply no page loads.
Actually looking at it now anything that I click on under My account brings me to a “page not found” or doesnt even load a page.
I deactivated all my plugins, I also deactivated and reactivated BP once, and completely uninstalled it once.
Anyone know what could be wrong?
For the BuddyBar, check out:
/wp-content/buddypress/bp-core/css/buddybar.dev.css
For the WP Admin Bar / Toolbar, check out:
/wp-content/buddypress/bp-core/css/admin-bar.dev.css

You should make style overrides in your theme’s stylesheet (/wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/style.css) and not the files listed above.
This is huge for us, has anyone seen an example of this in the wild? Is there anyone solving this problem? @DJPaul, I’d like to take you up on that brainstorming offer. What is holding back post_text search? It appears that the scaffolding exists already in BB_Query class.
I just set up Buddypress SU. I want to test it with a reasonable number of profiles/users. I am adding a few manually but it takes time. How can I upload or import profiles/images?
At the end of the day, this is a support site for BuddyPress. Us opening up groups for third-party plugin support was an experiment of its own, and a successful one I think. We put your plugin and support information in one convenient Group as opposed to mixing all of them together with tags like WordPress.org does.
That said, there is nothing anyone can ever do here that will give it more emphasis than BuddyPress itself. I actually think its great if you outgrow your space here, as it means you’re doing well and being successful, fostering an essential part of the BuddyPress ecosystem.
I like the idea of eventually having a popular plugin page. If that happens, clearly BP Media stands out. I think the best way to keep things running smoothly currently is to focus on BuddyPress core development and support, and iterate on the third-party plugin experience for what it is.
Yeah, I noticed that….
I had to manually search for buddypress in the Add New menu to get it….
