What “pack” are you referring to?

You might want to wait on migrating. From what I remember one of the developers when he was talking about future integration, he stated that Buddypress was going to start moving toward using BBpress and implementing its features rather than its own stand-alone forum service.

Apparently the pack is currently broken with the current WordPress version (3.2.1).. Until it’s fixed, anything we should do in the meantime?

@aces – The email plugin did it for me. Thanks!

well, I just met your post by chance and the word author attracted me to read it, as I’m myself a beginner writer, who have exactly the same combination as you describe, WordPress and buddypress
I can say all you want exactly can be done by buddypress, all that features you mentioned are built-in without any need for plugins, but for few options there is this plugin wanted:

subscribe2 ( if you don’t have already )
subscribe to comments ( like in wordpres )

for the theme, I may suggest the default theme which I use, or the new Frisco theme.
for media need, of course the new buddypress media or bp-Album

perhaps other friend can give you more details, have a nice day

Hey!
I managed to get Byddypress1.5 working for me. It is pretty sweet. Only óne thing still bugs me with Buddypress: I can only ‘network-enable’ the plugin. This means I can only configure it from the admin-network dashboard, and not from the dashboard of the site I actually want to have it running on.
Can I do something about this?
Thnx!

Are the emails in the spam or junk directories?

Some hosts need an extra plugin to work with wordpress mail, such as the one suggested on the following page: https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/

I have used https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ which has a useful debugging feature….

I’m having this problem as well. I just did a fresh install of Buddypress and I’ve tried to set up two testing accounts. The accounts register the users in my User panel, but the activation emails are not arriving and therefore the users can’t log in and use the site!

Thanks for the link. The Sample Page made it all clear. I have revised all codes added to the bottom of header-buddypress.php and at the top and bottom of sidebar-buddypress.php in this post.

@mercime

Ok i did. No more error message. but buddypress is extending past the theme’s sidebar on the right side of the page still. This one is busting my brain. Man I will compensate you through paypal if you can help me resolve this, thank you

Delete the line “ from header-buddypress.php

Ok I insert the lines as you instructed me. I keep getting this error message on the “Activity” page although:

Warning: include(/home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/includes/top_info.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/header-buddypress.php on line 77

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/includes/top_info.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/header-buddypress.php on line 77

Any idea what’s happening here?

You’re welcome. Sorry, I should have stated it more clearly

Edit – ok, revised wording in adding code to header- and sidebar-buddypress.php

Just to be clear did you update your theme files along with BuddyPress 1.5?

@mercime, ok that’s what I thought you meant, I’m going to try it again now. TY!
