By the way: If I click on “Edit” here in my own topic, there’s a “Page not found”…
On http://testbp.org/ bbpress 2.0 is used. I’d like to change to the plugin version, too.
Maybe a little stupid question, but I’m not sure about it: Do I have to drop the content of bbpress-folder in buddypress and install the new bbpress plugin version via wordpress plugin installation? (So that it’s in the plugins folder, not in buddypress)
In my case I don’t have to care about data, because I’m still testing and there are no real discussions. But for the others it maybe interesting: Will the forum data be catched by the new install?
@djpaul Thanks for your answer. I was not able to recreate it on the test drive – I’d have to be a group admin to see these admin links. But I saw there that you use bbpress 2.0 – do we have to change from standalone bbpress version to the bbpress wordpress plugin?
not sure about it – in this thread Bage said no: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-1-3-trunk-and-bbpress-2/
@darrenmeehan
Hi. Some URLs can be changed, some others need to be changed in the theme (or core), unfortunately.
In BP 1.5, root-level pages e.g. .com/members and .com/groups are controlled by standard WordPress Pages. You’ll be able to rename title and slug by editing the Page details.
URLs like e.g. .com/members/admin/**groups**/ are changed as detailed on https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ (“Change the URL slugs of BuddyPress components”).
URLs like e.g. com/groups/group_name/**send-invites**/ have to be changed by editing the theme files, and filtering parts of the BuddyPress core output.
No problem. I agree that there’s probably some issue which is hard to trigger somewhere, hopefully we can find it before beta is finished 
hi @djpaul ,
while I’ve been trying to make a recording for you, I understood that this is not connected to activity switching (at least I cannot recreate it anymore).
the only left point is that if text string does not have spaces and is too long for one line, it won’t be transfered to the next one, but will be cut, what is quite logical since it is understood as one word. Probably, my bad again, I should study this question deeper.
I am sorry, I am red and I am out
I have searched high and low for someone else with this issue. I have Events Manager installed in my Buddypress/Wordpress site and I have gone through all the settings of EventsManager to ensure that any user can submit an event. There are a few issues though.
There is no add new event or equivalent button on the events page. Also, if you click on “events” in a user’s profile, it takes you to the homepage of the website instead of their events. If there are no events from that user, shouldnt it take you to a page that says they have no events? The default events are listed under my admin name, so they should be listed when I click events on my page.
Unfortunately my client doesn’t want the site released publicly until it is ready to be released so I can’t share a link. I would appreciate it if you could help me without giving me flak for that detail. Thanks in advance.
The code I posted worked for me, and I would suggest trying it first, then seeing if you would prefer other options from the google page linked to.
Putting it in the header.php should work but might unnecessarily slow the site down a bit…..
I don’t know your theme so I wouldn’t know where to put it precisely…. I put it above the “ tag and below “ – it is important that it doesn’t go anywhere between a “
And mercime gave the correct link already on creating a network (multisite).
“, does Buddypress.org use multisites for its blogs and forums.”
YES. it uses multisite for individual blogs for each user. Full blogs like wordpress.com has.
“When i installed buddypress
and added the forums it says group forums???”
Ye,s the forums are attached to groups. that’s how it works here too.
im not sure where in the footer. u said appropriate area. wouldnt the header be better? i dont know . you are talking bout the link u gave me specifically right? not from the google translate i posted? cause i dont know where to put that
You put the first bit in an appropriate area in the footer – If it works how you like it then you should probably include it via your theme’s functions.php file
The second bit works in a text widget. Set up a text widget where you would like it and paste.
It translates what it can…. If there are bits that you don’t want translated you can tag them….
being its buddy press does it, translate the whole site, buttons groups etc?
hmm.. meaning? i am new to buddypress, it is my first install. i will google that. thanks!
im using blogs mu theme. wondering looking at the the page http://translate.google.com/translate_tools
where do i put the code exactly? footer ? header? idk, not sure. my site is http://www.yourwetideas.com , so idk if there is space for it with the theme. any suggestions? im very new to this. this would be the perfect solution if works.
Multiple post of the same thing Buddypress.org did that not me and when i go to delete it goes to a page that says cant find page, like i said who ever is packaging or updating the actual site needs to fix bugs in Buddypress.org and the plugin for wordpress, you guys have been very helpful thanks…
On my 1.5 tes install there is no activity post when you post a blog nor is there a filter in the drop down. Either it’s been removed from BuddyPress or this is a glaring omission.
Sorry ’bout the triple post but I thought I’d mention that I can’t delete or edits posts. Please fix buddypress.org!
Thanks to both.
will do ticket at weekend. There is a kind of similar one at Ticket #2228 (new defect).
This item on testbp.org works perfectly – so its my set-up . will give it a go over weekend.
for *ALL* activity stream items – yes
Also @modemlooper – just did a new post and it has turned up in activity stream so I mustn’t have installed this 1.5 properly.
” that multisite thing
after i installed it took away the ability to even add plugins or update my theame “
No, it didn’t. It moved them to network admin. Multisite is what you need for extra blogs – this works even without buddypress.
Buddypress does not just add a theme – it does add the functionality that you;re looking for. please reads the docs.
The forums have to be enabled in the backend.
We are answering your questions – don;t post multiple time,s ,read the directions, ask when you do not understand instead of undoing things we told you that you need.
I’ve put on our bug tracking system, and I’ve just fixed it — thanks for testing
