You can simply replace the WordPress search form code in your theme template with the following (it will give you the standard BP search form for Members, Groups, Blogs, Forums, Posts). Plus, the “Search anything…” default text will disappear when the user clicks in it.

`<form action="” method=”post” id=”search-form”>
<input type="text" id="search-terms" name="search-terms" value="” onfocus=”if (this.value == ” ) { this.value = ”; }” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) { this.value = ”;}” /> in

<input type="submit" name="search-submit" id="search-submit" value="” />

This plugin should help get you where you want to go:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/achievements/

In the WP admin dashboard, try navigating to “BuddyPress > Forums”.

Under “Forums for Groups”, try clicking on “Install Group Forums”. If you don’t see that, click on “Uninstall group forums”, then you should see the Install Group Forums button, click on that button.

Next, under “BuddyPress > Components”, make sure that “Discussion Forums” is checked.

If that doesn’t work, it could be a database problem. Try logging into phpMyAdmin and repairing your tables.

Also make sure that the following tables exist and have data populated in them:

* wp_bb_forums
* wp_bb_meta
* wp_bb_posts
* wp_bb_terms
* wp_bb_term_relationships
* wp_bb_term_taxonomy
* wp_bb_topics

@papaenapuros I had the same problem too

Sounds like a bug. Can you report it on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org please? You can use your username and password from here.

== The thing that comes to my mind is that I have installed both sites to a subdomain eg. name.mydomain.com ==
BP has no problem being installed in physical subdomains or in secondary blogs of multisite installations with subdomain structure as far as I know.

I noted in your 2nd post that you were trying to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. If you’re using the bp-default theme, you should deactivate the BP Template Pack plugin. What showed up in your error logs?

== I’m using BP 1.5.1, I didn’t have problem until days ago ==
Did you just upgrade and/or install a new theme or plugin recently?
Did you go through the Installation Wizard?
Have you gone to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > Forums for Groups – and clicked on Use Existing Installation?

The problem IS the parent theme Detox. With all the warnings and deprecated notices generated, if that theme was submitted to the WordPress Theme Repository, it would not be approved with all those errors. That theme is listed with issues on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/

You have to fix the theme, or drop it and get a WordPress Theme. Then install BP Template Pack plugin. Go through the BP compatibility process and if you need help with that, post here.

I have exactly the same problem . After replying on some activity post I get Page not found. I have latest Buddypress and wordpress with default theme and have never had Buddystream installed.

pagination link is not working.. but you can copy the link in the browser (change page number), like this:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/?p=3&n=20 (change p=4, 5, 6…)

if you want to modify that behavior you can edit the theme files which i did for my community. users browsing the page don’t see anything unless they register. i used the wordpress-function is_user_logged_in()
files to consider:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php
and to hide the rss-button (private groups still in rss if you know the link or browse the source code – but users not logged using the site don’t see anything):
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php

This seems to be a nice plugin that works on buddypress:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-recaptcha/

Some slight manual additions (just add your recaptcha keys into the actual php file), but apart from that, clean, simple it seems.

Aces you are the man !!!

I bit the bullet and gambled and it paid off

Now I just need to re-arrange my banner because it’s playing peekaboo lol

many many thanks for your input, not to mention your patience on this edit sir
