I have updated my Buddypress and as usual it is a challenge!
Every time I update I have to add my local language file and this time I had to resize my header image (from 125*1250 to 133*1250)
But now, all my Tabs are double up in Danish and English:
Forside, Aktiviteter, Brugere, Grupper, Debat, Blogs, Activities, Blogs, Forums, Groups, Hjælp, Members, Om
How to eliminate the English and keep the local?
How can i held new topics, new groups and new comments for moderation from the admin panel before they appear on the website…? i am using wordpress 3.3 and buddypress 1.5.2
Thanks, that’s kind of what I need, but for the @name only, as the user name needs to remain the email so that the bridge will work (WHMCS only allows emails as the user name).
There isn’t a problem so much with an email being a user name, as the user can change what is shown on the site to whatever they want.
The same question I have. Placing a link “user profile” to a custom menu so the logged in user can access his profile directly.
I heard that with the new release of wordpress and buddypress it should be possible but couldn’t find out how yet.
Any idea?
Sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime, you can use Google search and input “buddypress.org topic/keywords”. Google has indexed our forums pretty well.
Why is there no search feature for the support Forums if there is can someone chaneg the layout so it appears at the top of the page – like WP codex.
Trying to search manually 12000 topics does nor work.
Thank
Installing WordPress is not to difficult. Google your host name and how to install WordPress and you should find a tutorial.
Fair enough. That makes total sense. Thanks. I will probably install fresh without the script installer. It works, but if I get into trouble (which I will) I won’t ever know if it’s the install or something I’m doing despite the install.
Cheers
Somebody posted a topic a few days ago with a problem and the reason they had a problem was they used the host installer for WordPress. What Paul is saying is that it may be ok but in my experience I’ve had issues.
You may not have any issues, each web host is different.
@modemlooper on this subject. Is there anyway of generating a blank user profile when somebody mentions a @profile account containing the mentions ?
Thanks. I appreciate the replies but now I’m as confused as before
One says yes; the other, no. Anyone else have thoughts?

Before upgrading WP/BP, there’s a message to back up database. If you have a back up of that database, you can re-install WP/BP and import database
WP 3.2.1 – https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
BP 1.5.1 – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1
Hey all,
I seem to be having some issues with the transition from old WP to new.
A sequence of unfortunate events has lead me to wipe out my once beautifully integrated WP-BP coupon enthusiast site (www.shopcents.net). The entire site was fine one day, and completely a wreck the next. I was getting redirection errors as well as 404’s on every page and blank screens when trying to access the dashboard. I had to delete all themes and plugins from my ftp manager. Now, starting fresh again I installed the WordPress update 3.3 and next on my list was to install Buddypress again. I did so through the Plugins page and upon activation I get a blank screen. When Buddypress is deleted, everything goes back to normal. To make sure this wasn’t a site or hosting issue, I installed a Maintenance Mode plugin and all works fine.
My hosting company (of who I won’t mention any names) tells me that there are no hosting issues going on and therefore won’t help me. I am desperately seeking some advice from all the seasoned WP-BP veterans out there!
Thank You!
@mercime, Windows server, WP 3.2.1. BP 1.5.2, the only table that mentions forums is one called “wp_bb_forums” and there is a bb-config.php in the root WP installation. Hope that helps!
@tjherman are you on Windows or Linux server? WP 3.2.1 or WP 3.3? BP 1.5.1 or 1.5.2? Have you checked your database if 7 tables were generated for the forums and whether bb-config.php was generated at the root of your WP installation?
`function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111214’;
// Register our main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘mytheme-style’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue the main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘mytheme-style’ );
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );`
Will be updating BP codex re child themes for WP 3.3 and BP 1.5.2
Ok, so I think I am still experiencing the CSS issue on page editing screens because I am developing a child theme of bp-default. I updated the functions.php file as provided on the ticket but am I supposed to alter my child theme functions.php file? I have no idea how that would go. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree? Please help! 
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111102’;
// Register main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘child-theme’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-theme’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
endif;`
I’m using WHMCS Bridge which creates a new user when somebody signs up to WHMCS.
This is great, but because it uses the email as the signup name, which can easily be changed to whatever the user wants, the @name given is pretty much the email address (such as @userdomain-com).
This isn’t good as it is giving spammers a field day, being able to figure out so many email addresses on the site.
Is there a way to either use only the first X amount of characters in the user name or, better still, giving the user the option to change the @name, even if they can only do it one time.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Joe
The error happens even if it is a new group or existing and after toggling the enable forum. I’ve had so many problems installing BP I’m starting to wonder if it will work.
@flynxify – Yes, I want two kinds of groups.
1. Normal groups
2. Businesses groups
