@vtowel. did you finally get this to work for you? I’m still getting the 404 error.

Thanks to some terrific people, here is the solution now… https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-disable-activity-commenting/#post-92892

@Travel-Junkie Thanks for the code. I know it will help me achieve what I want.

But my challenge is that I know nothing about coding. I have succeeded in locating the functions.php and have opened it in order to edit it. My question is where in the whole code will I place the code you wrote. Is it at the beginning or end of the code.

I am planning to use this code below

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

Please, I will appreciate you help. I am a complete WYSIWYG person but I can follow simple instructions as regards code.

Thank you in anticipation.

I have got this sorted out with buddypress profile privacy pluggin

Ah! Found it. Knew it https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/change-wrote-a-new-blog-post-text/

And this is resolved

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

Buddypress emails are wired around wordpress emails.

Bluehost seems to be the worst when it comes to the emails, as taking very slow/not sending.

Try using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

Good luck!

take a look at this
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2780

it is fixed in 1.3 branch but not in 1.2 branch. You can modify the the friends-template tag or just hook to the filter to correct it.

@mercime oh awesome! needed that.

Stay tuned for buddypress 1.3

@pjries Thanks for this. I hope I understand what you said correctly. I’m going to give it a try today and I’ll post the results here.

ok… I solved it by downloading the zip from another installation that worked and uploading that zip, and suddenly it worked!?!? weird…

I have added my own experiences to those of @dba2k10 in the thread above:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bbpress-posting-errors-missing-database-tables/

Like the OP, I also found that none of the bb press tables were being created in my database. I was able to create them manually by using the MySQL statements in the default.bb-schema.php file. It’s not optimal, but it’s one fix. Hope this helps further the conversation.

Lumenbeing, the answer is yes, in my experience. I am testing WordPress MultiSite with BuddyPress on a Dreamhost setup. I did install by uploading via FTP, not via the one click, but for whatever reason, none of the BB Press tables were created in my database. I tried applying the patch in Paul’s post above, but that wasn’t enough and uninstalling and re-installing the forums via the Web still didn’t help.

I went through the MySQL statements in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php and was able to create the tables manually in the SQL dialog box in phpMyAdmin. You do need to make sure you fill in the database names for the variable $bbdb in each statement
ie: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `$bbdb->forums
needed to become
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tablename_bb_forums`
But I am now able to use the forums for public/private/hidden groups as I expected they would work.
I do suspect this is a server issue and perhaps a MySQL version issue as well. I can’t imagine why none of the tables would be created, otherwise.
Hope this helps further the conversation.
