You could try running the function – `bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs()` – once and see if the missing blogs are repopulated.
If not, then there is something wrong with the logic of `bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs()`.
It helps a lot thank you ! I’ll dig into that !
I also saw a great plugin called BP custom posts which allows to easily create BP components like groups. I guess I could also use that, my nodes could actually well be some kinda Group but with an extensive description… So I’ll check that as well.
Thanks a lot !
If you need your users to create the nodes on the frontend, you’ll have to include some type of frontend post editor.
Frontend Editor by scribu works with custom post types and should hopefully work for most of your needs:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-editor/
As for BuddyPress, BuddyPress 1.5 has some hooks in the activity stream component so you could potentially add custom post types in the activity stream when such a post is made.
The hook you will be interested in particular is “bp_blogs_record_post_post_types” located in /bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php.
Hope that helps!
Am having this problem aswell, i just tried solution provided by @Boone, but still same thing. i have been having the problem for a while which makes me switch back to bp 1.2
@katje, were you able to get a resolution on finding a multiple-criteria “search” plugin?
@boonebgorges, Boone, I hope I’m not hijacking the thread because my question reflects one of katje’s questions: Is there a plugin or something close (that I could point a developer to) that would accomplish a multiple criteria search across the membership directory? Here’s a scenario: Let’s say that my membership comprises global athletes, both professional and social. Furthermore, each one of these athletes compete in many different sports. My potential membership could be in the hundreds of thousands, probably millions. My users would need a way to sift through a directory of that size. So, if my xprofile fields contain tria-thletes some of whom have held the profession of astronaut, then I dare say 99.99% of the membership would not meet that criteria. It’s an extreme example which I hope illustrates the need across general searches.
BTW, if this is considered hijacking a thread, please let me know and I’ll create a new topic.
Possibly relevant: the only theme currently enabled on the site is BuddyPress default. There are other themes installed, but not enabled at the moment.
Thanks for responding. I checked 5 affected user blogs, those that don’t show up when I enable the BuddyPress site tracking component.
All five blogs have the privacy set to:
“I would like my site to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers”
I haven’t checked all 50-odd affected blogs, but that doesn’t seem to the problem.
Also, I wondered if I made a mistake in the header of my stylesheet. Do I need to have an absolute path to the stylesheet? My theme URI is currently written as “http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/theme-name”. Is this what is tripping me up? I assume not since the stylesheet was recognized prior to creating the functions.php file. I’m very confused.
`/*
Theme Name: BuddyPress Dusk
Theme URI: http://example.org/themes/dusk/
Description: Dark theme for BuddyPress.
Version: 1.0
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://example.org/
Template: bp-default

Im building a custom buddypress theme and i would like to show the settings page for a user (where they can change password – members/username/settings/ ) into another page.
Basically i want to show a tabbed solution on the profile page (members/username/profile/edit/group/1) where a user can either change the profile or their accounts settings.
I tried moving the plugin.php content into the profile page but im not getting any output at all.
Any clue on how to do this?
Thanks a lot for your help
Hi,
I am a complete beginner. I installed wordpress and buddypress for an urgent academic project. I created profiles fields and installed bbpress. But on the front end, when I click on any link (profile, friends, group, activity, register), I get an 404 error cannot display page. I am running on local, wampserver on windows 7. Only login and logout display pages.
What can I do to see these pages on the frontend? Shall I create them, how or are the links supposed to work automatically? Please I find no help on documentation, can someone help me?
I’ve installed BP and with BuddyPress Template Pack my theme (ThemeJunkie Movable) is working ok. The only problem I have is my ThemeJunkie Tabs widget wich has 4 tabs of popular and latest posts, comments and tags is broken. Now I have all these subjects shown in a column in my Sidebar instead of 4 tabs. As I have no idea how js works, I don’t understand where I can find and fix the problem, please help.
Sorry, my English is poor… Any additional information on the problem needed?
I see the conflict. Your group forums URL is http://richard-dickinson.com/forums/ is the same as the URL of your SiteWide Forums which should not be the case.
A. If you want to keep the Forums slug for the group forums, then you have change slugs for the sitewide forums:
– Go to http://richard-dickinson.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress and change Archive Slugs (base) and Single Slugs. That is, change “Forums base” to somethig else like “Sitewide Forums” or “Discussions” and Save.
B. If you want the Forums slug for the Sitewide Forums, then you have to change the slug of the group forums:
– Go to Pages > All Pages and delete the “Forums” page. A notice will appear “.The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums.” Repair
– Click on “Repair” button and the BuddyPress > Pages panel will show up.
– On the “Discussion Forums” line, click on “New Page” button and the Page > Add New panel will show up on screen. This is where you’ll place the title for your group forums
– Type in e.g. Group Forums and click on Publish.
– Click on the “Repair” button and the BuddyPress > Pages panel will show up again. This time, in the “Discussion Forums” line, select the “Group Forums” page you recently created then click on Save.
– To check if your group forums are working with the new slug, go to http://yoursite.com/group-forums/ per title of the new page you created for the group forums.
After all this re-run permalinks == wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks > Save.
a) Did you test if your WordPress site could send emails before using BuddyPress? e.g. when you go to Add Users in wp-admin and tell it to email the password to the user.
b) People need to log in to your site at least once, after BuddyPress has been activated, to appear in the members directory list.
Hi,
I have BuddyPress running on my site, and have set up this registration form: http://www.iqmindware.com/register
I have created 2 public groups here: http://www.iqmindware.com/groups/
My problems are:
a) after filling in the registration form, the user is told that a confirmation e-mail will be sent. But it is not.
b) members are not showing under ‘members’ (http://www.iqmindware.com/members/) even though I have had about 40 people register as users to WordPress (under ‘Users’ / ‘All Users’ of my Admin page). Why are they not showing up as members?
Thanks,
Mark
There seems to be some serious oversight in the latest version (1.5).
I’m not entirely clear from the above post, but I may have the reverse issue….
After the update my top level site works fine with the Community header features (Activity, Members, Blogs) working after the required plugin repair of the top level site, but the activity stream for each sub-blog on my multi-user installation links to a (non-existent) activity stream for that site, instead of the network.
So, the top level site http://retrofitdiaries.org/activity/ works fine, but for the member site http://member.retrofitdiaries.org the activity header links to http://penwithhousingpenzance.retrofitdiaries.org/activity/ whereas it should also link to http://retrofitdiaries.org/activity/ because that IS the Community. Calling community where it is one blog is meaningless!
Please let me know how this can be fixed.
Each community function can link to a WordPress page BUT this is what Buddypress is supposed to manage!
Thanks
Please help! I have 1.5 buddypress installation on wp multiblog subdirectory installation. When I attach page with activity slug in Pages buddypress menu on the subblog, all member navigation starts redirecting to the main page of my sub blog. If I leave it blank, only activity link redirects. In 1.2.10 buddypress installation everything works good. How can I fix it?
Check that the missing sites’ privacy is set to public (in wp-admin > Settings)
Links hasn’t been updates for a long time, it’s an old plugin. If it still works with 1.5, I expect there would still be things needed to be updated such as this nav menu/item.
BuddyPress’ forums are provided by bbPress, so you may want to search on that.
