BuddyPress.org

I am getting the same error.

I have the buddypress-enable file installed

(WPMU 2.8.2, BP 1.0.3, BBPress 0.9.0.5)

I’m having a similar issue. All the links in the Buddypress bar that link URL/wp-admin/~~ work such as most under My blogs admin but under My account all the links that include URL/members/~~ don’t work. The only one that works here is Log Out. There is no members directory so it just defaults to the homepage. I’m sure there is something simple I missed but can’t for the life of me find it. I uninstalled and reinstalled Buddypress and it’s the only plugin installed. I’m running buddypress 1.1.1 using the default theme installed through the c-panel.

I assume you mean the plugin Group Forum Subscripton for BuddyPress found here:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/group-forum-subscription-for-buddypress/

You need to contact the plugin developer and provide them with the details about your issue.

I’m moving this thread to the proper forum, “Third Party Components & Plugins”.

When I use the site admin>users method it doesn’t engage with Welcome Pack, which is the same thing that happened in my previous version of BuddyPress. The activation email gets killed there too, just tested that.

Most of the sites that you mention required many weeks to months of hard design and custom coding work. You need the proper design, CSS, and PHP skills to tackle this on your own. Or, you need to hire out an expert WordPress/BuddyPress developer like GigaOM Pro did–or even a team of developers.

Have you seen this Codex article?

This is a four-month-old thread that has been marked as resolved. Starting a new issue within it will get you little help.

When providing assistance, most people ignore threads marked as resolved, choosing to spend their time within threads that still have an issue to address.

What happens in FireFox?

If it is the same behavior, then please answer these questions to allow us to help you better.

I would like to have my “userbar” and “optionsbar” to be organized horizontally.

Exactly the same as here at BuddyPress.org

Any advise how to quickly adapt the CSS for achieving this ?

Thanks a lot !

I believe our issues are different but both may be directly related to conflicts between buddypress and feedwordpress. Buddypress is a sitewide plugin and the buddypress bar loads for every blog page – so every blog error could potentially be related to buddypress. I don’t have my problem when buddypress in deactivated. So my issue (and yours) with feedwordpress may be a buddypress issue rather than a wpmu issue.

Given your pm reply, I assume you’re not experiencing the same error as I. I have not seen the issue you reported either.

The problem with using the default child theme as a base for a new theme is that it is much more work. Rather than fit the thousands of WordPress themes into the default child theme, it seems easier to fit the needed BuddyPress features into the style of the many, many WordPress themes being produced for free or commercially.

You can disable user blog creation in WPMU but the BuddyPress directory page for “blogs” and the “blogs” link in the BuddyPress user profiles will still show up… unless you create your own templates to override the parent… or maybe just use some CSS (if possible) to hide those links.

Well… this doesn’t help… but really… as far as popular CMS tools go… the WordPress backend is about as easy and intuitive as it gets. I find most clients take to it pretty quickly and easily and end up loving it and using it a lot. Compare that to Joomla sites I’ve worked on where the clients end up abandoning the site because it take a computer science degree to wrap your head around it’s confusing interface and concepts. Again… I know that doesn’t really help you.

Have you looked at limiting user roles and screen options to streamline the WP backend? I always set clients up with something less than full admin privileges and turn off a bunch of screen options they won’t need or understand.

Why not start by copying the child theme that comes with BuddyPress and go from there?

Very nice colinloretz. Did you do a custom core in Ruby on Rails or did you use an existing framework like Community Engine. I have only dabbled in the past with Ruby on Rails and am looking at dabbling further. What made you make the switch from ROR to Buddypress? Curious to know.

Same here I have been looking at doing a rewrite of the dashboard side for users, because not everyone is a seasoned wordpress user.

Very nice work. It’s the use of buddypress as a CMS that I’m interested in and this is a good example. Patiently waiting for your learnings, expecially integrating as a CMS with other aspects of WordPress. http://www.tastykitchen.com is my model, but I have no idea how to accomplish that.

I’m going to unstick this topic from the front of the forums since bbPress is now an included part of BuddyPress.

Anyone wishing to integrate their forums the old fashioned way should still use this topic as a reference since most of the methods here still work.

This is a WPMU setting, not BuddyPress. I’m marking this thread as not a support issue as it doesn’t relate to BuddyPress.

I believe there is a setting in the WP Admin, Site Admin -> Options page.

You just activate BuddyPress and you have all the functions at your disposal. Just like any other plugin. Then you look for the function you want to use and paste it into your template where you want its content to appear. There’re a few functions in the codex, but I prefer to just look through the theme/plugin files…
