I’m sorry for not being specific. The user profile page is missing the main main content col which contains the written content on the main page, as well as the side bars and footer so it’s getting the header from the theme but not taking any thing else except background image from the style sheet.
`User profile is yourtheme/members/single`
I assume you mean buddypress theme? I’ve played around in the single folder going through each file, deleting it’s contents , reloading the profile page to see any effect before restoring the file’s contents but, have been unable to find any pinchlin file to theme the profile page with. Am I missing some thing?
My theme is heavily based upon twentyten which doesn’t use such a file to my knowledge. Is the post file some thing I could create my self? If so where, in my wp theme folder?
Thank you for your time Virtuali very, very much.
That codex page refers to the standalone bbPress script, and not the bbPress plugin.
Yeah, I know it’s a little bit confusing!
Right now, there is no integration between BuddyPress and the bbPress plugin, however you can still use BuddyPress group forums and the bbPress plugin separately.
I would recommend changing your bbPress plugin slug to something else.
Login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “Settings > Forums”.
Next, change “Forum Base” to something other forums like “discuss”. This should hopefully fix your issue.
bbPress plugin forums will be located at /discuss. BuddyPress group forums will be located at /group-forums/ (make sure you also go through the BP forum setup in the WP dashboard under “BuddyPress > Forum Setup”).
It’s possible, but the plugin would have to create its own tables to store the data. The Group Documents plugin that Dennis mentioned does something similar codewise and can be used as a jumping off point.
It would be better if BP had a dedicated meta table for PMs like the activity component. Then you could easily add this time of information without creating a separate table. I created a ticket here about this:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3083
Hello all – I ran into this issue as well, and tried using the code fix in my wp-config.php file but it’s not working. Also I cannot find bp-custom.php anywhere in /plugins/buddypress – was it moved or renamed? Do I still need to add it there?
However, even with the wp-config.php custom setting in place I cannot even auto-fill messages to test users without dots in their names. Oddly it will autofill the admin’s nickname but that’s it..
@gregfielding W3TC does not work with Buddypress (other than maybe very limited CDN). I wish people would stop saying it does, especially the developers. BP.org should also remove it from their recommendations for speeding up BP.
Okay…
So I want to use the actual bbpress plugin with my Buddypress installation. I don’t like the stripped down version of bbpress.
I followed the instructions from this how-to guide: http://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/using-an-existing-bbpress-installation/
But it still doesn’t seem to be fully working.
I installed the bbpress plugin first. Then installed the Buddypress plugin. Then I did all the steps in the how-to guide but for the life of me I cannot find bb-config.php to get my Buddypress installation to work with my existing bbpress installation. Also, my member forums aren’t working…
http://viceroyvillage.com.s115384.gridserver.com
http://viceroyvillage.com.s115384.gridserver.com/group-forums (my define / group forums don’t work)
http://viceroyvillage.com.s115384.gridserver.com/forums (bbpress forums still work)
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
When mu was merged, it was renamed to a network. Sometimes it’s referred to as multisite, as that is what the functions are called. But the admin area is “network”.
So your “network” is not the same as what we mean. 
this is very useful feature. can anyone update the code for current buddypress? there is no bp-status folder anymore
I had taken the short snip of code from this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-as-homepage/ and I put this in my functions.php:
`function bp_profile_homepage()
{
global $bp;
if(is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_front_page())
{
wp_redirect( $bp->root_domain . ‘/’ . $bp->activity->slug );
}
}
function logout_redirection()
{
global $bp;
$redirect = $bp->root_domain;
wp_logout_url( $redirect );
}
add_action(‘wp’,’bp_profile_homepage’);
add_action(‘wp_logout’,’logout_redirection’);`
That redirects users to site.com/activity
Just found a separate thread dealing with this issue, and it certainly seems to be BP related.
If anyone else is having this issue, adjust code on your register.php file (around line 150) to
`
<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />
`
See the whole thread here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-show-multiple-profile-field-groups-on-register-php/#post-102048
@candy2012 just to clarify, the order of the fields should be
`
<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="” />
`
It works great!
I would say gregfielding wrote a function regarding the redirect, or edited an existing function.
This will give you some hints: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/redirect-to-activity-after-login/
@Famous I wasn’t trying to squelch your questioning the way it works but this is a How-To and Troubleshooting thread. So, I thought I would nudge us back to the question at hand. Glad you got things working the way you want. I, too, redirect for the same reason.
Here is a site with 3,000+ members: http://www.h-mag.com/.
I’ve created a custom theme for buddypress I’m quite happy with, featuring a headlines slide show on the main page. I have however, been unable to find the files dictating the user profile and blog post pages layout. Right now when I click on a Blog post title, it takes me to a version the the main page which is formatted to the main page for the slide show, which I’d like to change. The user profile page right now is completely blank with only the background image of the site and the header image but does have the standard user profile content on it.
I know how simple of a theming issue this is. Either It’s staring me in the face or I’m an idiot but I’ve spent 3 hours searching for this information and haven’t found it yet so I must ask. What are the files for User profile and Blog posts which can be edited to give them a custom look and feel as index.php dose in the theme folder?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
@boonebgorges Any thoughts here? Could a recent BP or WP update have knocked out running multiple profile reg loops?
@hnla no it’s not part of current trunk. It was from my post “Upgrade to WP 3.0 beta 2 and BuddyPress trunk-r2990”
@Nobwaart so how did you come about with that link to the image? I set the blog to be hidden from search engines 
@gregfielding, @Boone Gorges, for some of us who dont know, where do you put this code.
regards
Also, how can I remove the navigation from certain places?
The problem is when I have them both enabled and click on registration nothing happens, it just takes me to the homepage.
Thanks.
@hnla @brajesh singh i found the bug…its not in the child theme its the ” w3 total cache plugin ” creating all the mess in my site as soon as i deactivate it alll stuff goes normal & fine plz every one bring this into the plugin authors consideration …now
and also wp block admin this plugin is activated after deactivating w3 cache plugin my users are directed to home page bt in this plugins line no 21 i had specified to redirect to about page ….and also when some 1 smartly typed or try to modify the url to get acces to wp-admin area this plugin should redirect that person to ” about “
page bt instead it shows an error saying u do not have sufficient to access this page !
if u guyz have any hacks plz tell me with details
thnx in advance
also grt thnx to @hnla & @brajesh for trying to solve my problem good work guyz…..this help means a lot to me !
@Brajesh Singh
Thank you! I appreciate it.
@boone gorges sorry bt when i put the my url replacing ‘siteurl’ it gives me http error i was practising on localhost rather than on main machine (server)
and when i delete that file the site again start running
@sbrajesh:
The ‘maidenhosting’ url is a staging area. We copied their existing site (thedesignatedsketcher.com) to add BuddyPress and work out what turned out to be a plethora of kinks before pushing the new changes live.
@blueinkalchemist
There seems something strange with the urls though.
It works
http://designatedsketcher.maidenhosting.com/category/contest
as well as this one
https://thedesignatedsketcher.com/category/contest
How do you manage to do that. That might have something to do with the conflict. hopefully, It will help further to understand the issue.
