BuddyPress.org

I have upgraded WP from 3.0.5 to 3.2.1
I have upgraded BP from 1.2.6 to 1.5.1

I disabled all plugins both, plugins and mu-plugins, and restored them partially to determine which ones were causing issues.

I also commented out my functions.php theme file which is including files with function for the core site.

I have now come to my theme and have found that as I comment out Buddypress functions I get more and more of my page to display which makes it seem to me that Buddypress is not active or its functions are not available to my core blog.

I am working on a local test environment and have transfered the database and all files from the live site. I had to do some special upgrading to the database due to the database was originally an upgrade from WPMU and I am trying to align it more with WP multisite.

In the network admin section of the site it shows Buddypress is network activated. In the site admin I do not see Buddypress as a listed plugin, is this normal?

If I run the default Buddypress theme all seems fine with the site. So it seems something specific to my theme needs to be updated. I will continue to hammer at the theme. Commenting out pieces and uncommenting pieces till I find the root of the issue. Just looking for any feedback or ideas I can try to verify that Buddypress is indeed not the issue and that it is defiantly something in my theme.

After writing this is seems obvious to me that it is an issue in my theme and Im going to focus on that, just looking for feedback and thoughts from you all. Better then spinning in circles if I dont have to.

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback.

I’m having an issue with user’s display name not showing up on my site.

I first thought that this problem was happening with BBPress as it is where I first noticed the issue.

However in my effort to find the problem; activating other themes, the problem happened anywhere with the tag `the_author`.

I have tried removing all plugins, all custom functions, and as mentioned above, activating other themes, both standard wordpress and buddypress, with no success.

I’ve noticed that if I set my nic name in the WP dashboard, it will start to appear again, however, when attempting to change my display name in my profile edit page in buddypress front end, the problem will come back, but also when checking again, the display name within Buddypress didn’t actually change. After this, looking in the dashboard profile edit section, the nic name and real name I had entered was all removed.

I’m really confused why this is happening. Can anyone please help? Thank you.

Today, when I try to go to page 2 of any forum on buddypress.org, the page goes blank and it appears to be trying to get the content forever. This was not happening yesterday.

So I found with groups, all my users are authors, I’m the only admin. When I create a group with the check box “enable forums” checked, it works for everyone. When an AUTHOR creates a group, with the enable forums checkbox checked, the forums don’t work, until I uncheck the box, save, and re-check the box. Is there a way I can enable Authors to do this so I don’t have to each and every time? Thank you!

Latest buddypress (151) with all my plugins enabled and updated.

I’m using the BB-press plugin which comes with buddypress, groups had their own forums and they worked fine. They STILL work, in as much as you can see their data and previous topics, but when you try to create a new topic going forward, it just refreshes the page, no error message is given.

As an example, I’m using Welcome Pack and it allows for redirecting first time users to a specific URL. I wish to send the user to their in-site e-mail. How do I add the username into the URL? Like…

http://www.goodintoday.com/people/USERNAME/messages …

In this example what do I put in place for USERNAME to make WordPress, BuddyPress, bbPress or whomever the heck is now in control (kinda lost track at the third Press but I’m fairly certain there’s a few HUNDRED Press’s in there somewhere) place the USERNAME in the URL?

I asked this over at bbPress too and some Key dude said I should come here. Evidently the smart people over there are too good to answer the question.
