BuddyPress.org

I have not heard of any issues, but then again, I have also not heard of anyone using that particular plugin with BuddyPress. Did it work with BP 1.0.3? Does the plugin even say that it will work with BuddyPress at all?

I suggest contacting the plugin developer and asking them when (or if) they plan to offer support for BP 1.1

Thanks for this Simon. I have 2 questions though:

1. Do I just have to add this code at https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/1150/hook-to-stop-group-creation.diff in the bp-groups.php or do I have to edit the whole file? If I have to edit it, in what particular part of the file should I put the code?

2. The code in https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/1150/restrict-group-creation.php will be used as a plugin right? and I will upload it in the plugins folder and activate it?

Thanks in advance for your response!

Where is the “restore from backup” button? LOL

Thanks, Choufi. And there’s to need to apologize for your English! I’ll try it out.

I’ll point out one possibly related problem. The BP installation won’t take the default theme. The drop-down menu keeps reverting to the parent themes in P General Settings. If BP can’t find a usable theme, if can’t find the content.

Please read this BP Codex article:

Improving Performance

There are simply too many variables to give an iron-clad, standard approach that will work for every setup. As Simon states above, you need to test and experiment to see what tools and configurations work best given your specific setup.

@alexduvot-

Okay, your current issue is not too clear anymore. Originally, you created this post because you could not get BP to activate. It appears that you have successfully activated BP but now have theme issues? Correct?

To resolve issues, you need to boil your install down to its lowest, common denominator. Assuming that you have successfully activate BP, then what you need to do is switch to the default BP theme then deactivate all plugins except BP.

Is BP working fine after doing that?

If so, then you either have an issue with a 3rd-party theme or one of your plugins.

Also, check your server’s error logs to see if there is any information. It can help point you in the proper direction

Wow, Westpointer, we had the same idea at the same time. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/group-forum-subscription

My version allows a bit more user control (opting out of specific discussions or entire groups) by using bbPress’s native Favorites function. I wonder if there’s some way you and I can combine forces

Whether you are upgrading or installing BuddyPress for the first time, the instructions are clear on what to do with the theme files:

Upgrading: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/upgrading-from-10x/

Installing new: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/

Please, always read the instructions before upgrading an old or installing a new copy of BuddyPress. The readme.txt file that comes with BuddyPress is also clear on what to do with the theme files.

As it is quick, simple, and painless, I always manually upgrade or install new BP versions, instead you using automatic update. You have more control over the process.

Restore from your backup.

@forestwander-

Your issue is not the same as the OP. I’ve replied to your issue on your other cross post.

First of all, please do not cross post. Your issue will be addressed in time.

Secondly, did you search the forums before posting? This issue has been addressed several times in the past. It is an issue with 1and1 and how they set up hosting. It is not a BuddyPress-specific issue.

perhaps instead of giving everyone that big error, the message could be changed to tell them to place themes in the theme folder and to activate a buddypress theme.

I had the same issue as the original post here but the suggested custom CSS modification didn’t work for me. I solved the issue nevertheless, as below:

– Originally I used Remove BuddyPress Admin Bar 1.3 by Alessandro Raffa

That worked perfect (normal plugin for blog admins to use as they wish) *until* upgrading to BuddyPress 1.1. After the upgrade, the problem above appeared.

– Now I use Remove BuddyPress AdminBar 1.2 by NetWebLogic LLC

Just when I was about to mention my problem on this forum, I noticed that earlier today the “other” version (1.2) was released on the BuddyPress Developer > Plugins page.

What I did:

– I disabled the 1.3 plugin for all and mass-deactivated it.

– I enabled the 1.2 plugin and now all blogs activating it have no more space problem.

No idea why that is but I thought it might help some running the same version(s).

Hey there – I’m getting a similar, probably related issue.

I have followed the steps above regarding moving the folders etc.

However I am getting a ‘Broken Theme’ message: Stylesheet is missing & template is missing.

Also ‘BuddyPress Default Home Theme 1.0.2’ appears to be the only BP related theme available.

Thanks!

If someone could write an iPhone app, it might open doors to more people.

It worked for me – and I suspect plenty of others – so there’s probably a bug lurking somewhere.

So just to check – delete /wp-content/bp-themes/. Put the new two theme directories into /wp-content/themes/. At this point, going to the BuddyPress admin backend (in /wp-admin/) will get you a red warning box.

Then go to http://example.com/wp-admin/wpmu-themes.php, activate ‘BuddyPress Default’ (not ‘BuddyPress Social Network Parent Theme’). Then you should be able to activate the ‘BuddyPress Default 1.1’ theme on http://example.com/wp-admin/themes.php.

Marking this as resolved. The next version of BuddyPress will also include a free kitten wearing an orange hat.

madloki, he’s just released a major new version of BuddyPress 2/3 days ago. Any further release – unless there’s a genuine critical bug found, and this isn’t one – I expect will be quite a few weeks at the very least.

Obviously a trunk code fix will happen as soon as Andy or someone else contributes a fix.

Please continue this discussion on this thread.
