I just upgraded my BuddyPress installation, and now any time I try to go to a buddypress page (activity, groups, etc.) I get a 500 error. I am very new to BP so I don’t know if this is a common problem, but I am hoping there is some solution. My site is also in the very beginning development stages so there are a few groups but no members other than the admin.
@karmatosed I thought perhaps the more native solution will be easier in updating and so, plus, I don’t know exactly how to accomplish your solution, you mean like creating a child theme and editing the index.php? BTW, do you know if there is a shortcode for buddypress register like the ones in bbpress?
@djpaul I hoped the one who actually added the redirect see this topic, great you did 
will wait your update.
The title pretty much says it all. I did a backup using the backup utility in case I need to restore the SQL tables but I’ve never restored before using that functionality and that is only as a last resort anyway. The blog still functions except for accessing BuddyPress pages – “not found”.
When attempting to access admin functions, I get a 500 internal server error.
Anyone had this yet?
The site is http://blog.stephendowell.com/ for anyone interested in taking a look.
I searched for this topic in the previous posts and did not find it.

@ islandcastaway i tried but was unsuccessful. It seem like all the buddypress themes do the same. with the sample page. as before on the previous buddypress 1.2 i would set the sample page as static frontpage and would only see edit this entry.
@Paul Gibbs Yes, when i make the sample page as the static front page it would show add a reply.
From what I’ve read from the link islandcastaway posted it’s seems that the pages “sample page” is acting as a wordpress theme instead of a buddypress theme page.
buddypress 1.5 solved a lot of issues including this one!
Which version of BuddyPress are you using?
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
This page should give you some helpful info. I know this has been asked a number of times in the past.
Which version of BuddyPress are you using?
I’m getting an error on your site because you have my_bp_groups_forum_first_tab delcared in both bp-custom.php and functions.php. Go ahead and remove it from one (probably functions.php for now) because you will get a PHP error since you have the same function name trying to load twice. FYI, the bp-custom.php file is for anything BuddyPress related, where the functions.php file is just for the theme.
Once it’s working try it when you are not both logged in and on a public group. The if statements in there require that you either be a member of the group or the group be public, so it’s possible it was working but you didn’t see it if you were logged in (probably as the admin) and had not officially joined that group.
In your WordPress settings, what have you set your “show as front page” to?
Hello,
You will need to edit the “home page” and turn off comments for that page http://www.blog.web6.org/disable-comments-wordpress-3-1-tutorial/
or you will need to make a custom page in your themes template folder to not include the comments section.
I’m not aware of any polling plugin with built-in buddypress integration. Perhaps you could get adventurous and try to custom integrate an existing plugin to work with Buddypress, but that would require a fair amount of work.
I’ve not noticed any delay in any of my BuddyPress sites. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence with the particular ones you’ve been visiting?
As for Custom Community – you’ll need to do a few things. Make sure you’ve added widgets to the sidebar in the WordPress Dashboard and also make sure the sidebar is being called properly in the theme template files – such as sidebar.php, homepage.php (or frontpage.php or something similar). Also make sure the the CSS files in the theme are positioning the sidebar to the left of the content. Do you have link you can share?
I’ve looking for a webpoll to add to my BuddyPress site in which you can see which users voted for what, but I can’t seem to find such polling system.
First off, has anybody noticed BuddyPress sites being super slow as of late. Also, I’ve activated a theme called “Custom Community”. It has the option of adding widgets to the left sidebar. However, when I viewed the site, the left sidebar wasn’t there.
Before in Buddypress 1.2 when i placed the sample page as my front page there was no “add a reply” and looked like a normal front page to a social network I’m using the default buddypress theme. And now i have add a reply How can i disable this? Because it conflicts as looking like a social network and more like a blog.
I hope I can otherwise, is there a a way i can downgrade to the former buddypress1.2 version? I self taught myself how to add the bbpress forum. But there is so much stuff i’m trying to figure out .
It especially makes it difficult when you aren’t an “IT techy” and don’t know coding. But I’m trying. I just want to get this rolling.
Thanks again
@Boone – see the update above:
UPDATE: Found the culprit – A javascript was being enqueued incorrectly – essentially it was being called externally, but it didn’t actually exist!
Re-added the file and it’s working fine now.
good call, @qrahaman – what browser are you using @bigbadboy?
Thanks for your reply!
Do you know if I there is a widget out there which will allow me to display the links?
Just going to do a sanity check here as for me it is on default install blank named – so that would be a name you gave it right? Alternatively only thing I can think of at this point (others may have better ideas) would be is there any chance you have a plugin on along with BuddyPress?
I assume they would be planning an update. If they don’t you can always merge the template pack for BuddyPress with the theme – not a small task if you don’t know code / feel comfortable though.
I’m not sure Canvas is updated to BuddyPress 1.5 yet is it?
I’m not sure how updating core would affect your custom theme… unless you had made the changes to the theme inside the buddypress directory, which would have been overridden with the upgrade.
Cool thank you for updating us – hopefully we’ll see this list at 100% in the next few days now 1.5 is out in the wild.
