Hello all, I have been trying for over a month to get my “create a group” button to appear and work. NO LUCK…even with all the help.
if i type the “www.mysite.com/groups” in the address bar i can find this section. however, it is not on my site or groups section.
then in BP compatibility it say – “You may want to add new navigation tabs or links to your theme to link to BuddyPress directory pages. The default set of links are:”
how can i do this?
Please do not create a new topic on the same subject, continue in the existing one, creating a new thread simply serves to fracture all that we have asked and discounted thus far in trying to help you and will have members asking all the same questions over again which is a pointless exercise and wasteful of resources.
Please post a request for further help in the existing thread you started on this issue in order to bump the thread.

The tables should be first created as soon as the very first forum post in (any) group is made. Very odd that is hasn’t. Was this on a clean install? i.e. you haven’t tried installing bbPress before in the same database. Are there any relevant messages in your webserver’s error log?
No, because no matter how many domains are mapped into your multisite or multinetwork (multiple multisites in one WP installation), you are still using only one installation and BuddyPress can still be only activated in once in said installation. Maybe after WP 3.1 and BP 1.3 roll out, there’ll be someone coming out with a BP multisite plugin.
@bropaterno I’m not that well versed with cosmic buddy’s options, but you could save copy of your home.php for file, then copy over the content of your theme’s index.php into home.php and that would be like the blog front page of brobble.com
I’m running WP 3.0.3 and Buddypress 1.2.7.
I can see my forum access within the group but when I try to add a new post topic I get an error message.
I’ve checked out the database and I can see that I have no bb tables.
I’ve used the admin panel to run the one-click install and have even tried reinstalling.
Even though the system message confirms that I have successfully installed bbPress for Buddypress the tables do not get added to the database.
BTW: I tried to create bbPress as a new install (not an existing one)
Please help.
@David Thanks, I’ll check these threads.
@modemlooper That’s the one I was thinking of, I just couldn’t remember the name.
@mercime Thanks!
You are correct, I could remove the content slider, however I need a widget to replace it that does what I want. I want posts to be displayed as they are on a normal blog (such as http://www.brobible.com) Not just the little previews as I have it now.
@pcwriter even though you answered a 5-month-old question, the information you gave is still valid and will help others who would like to know how to use s2member effectively 
@bropaterno first of all, nice customization of cosmic buddy 
=== so where the current content slider (also a widget) is is where I would like to have the blog posts. ===
Can you not remove the content slider widget and replace that with Recent Posts widget? However, aren’t the posts on the lower left side of thee screen recent posts as well?
What files I have to change the password in now that the database has a new password is the issue. I didn’t forget which files to modify, I never modified those files because I don’t know which ones they are. My question is which files does buddypress store the database password in?
Oops! Just noticed this thread is 5 months old

Make sure registration is enabled for your site.
For single WP install, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘General’ and check ‘Anyone can register’.
For a multisite install, go to ‘Super Admin’ > ‘Options’ and select an option at ‘Allow new registrations’.
@cdragin
There is actually a rather easy way to accomplish what you want done.with s2member.
New users are redirected to the homepage upon activation of their account. Using s2member’s API/Scripting, it’s quite simple to set up a page to display different content to not-logged-in visitors and logged-in members whose subscription level=0 (free membership).
1 – Create a page and assign it to ‘Front page displays’ under ‘Settings’ > ‘Reading’. That’s your new homepage.
2 – Under ‘s2member’ > ‘API/Scripting’, go to ‘Using Simple Conditionals’ and study the example codes given. You can customize the content on your frontpage to display the PayPal buttons ONLY to registered members with a level=0. You can also set it up for incremental upgrade prompts according to the current membership level (s2member is really cool in that regard!).
3 – Under ‘s2member’ > ‘General Options > ‘Login Welcome Page’, you can redirect users to their BP profile when they login with this: http://YOUR-SITE.com/members/%%current_user_login%%/profile/
Now create your register page the way you want it, and have your users sign up in the usual way. (Perhaps include some info on that page informing them that will have the opportunity to select their membership options after activating their account.) They will be redirected to your frontpage upon activation and will then see your PayPal subscription button(s) displayed prominently, all the goodies that come with paid membership, and a hearty prompt to “pay their dues”.
Hope this helps!

This thread is 1 year, 1 month old. I’m going to close it as so much has changed in that time. Please create a new topic and provide full details of your problem and information about your site (version numbers, theme, and so on).
I have an even more basic problem at the moment … I can’t get the registration page to work.
Every time you click on it you get redirected to the home page. Have I simply missed something in the configuration? Sample at xtreme.transmutationsciences.com
I am putting together a site which will be a directory for a specific profession. I would like people to have the ability to create a profile page, embed youtube videos on it and map their location. This would showcase their work and would be a resource for potential employers. I would also like these members to be able to interact using buddypress to create a supportive community. However, I suspect members would not want the whole world to see their discussions and interactions with other members. Members may steer away from posing questions where there are gaps in their knowledge for fear of undermining their credibility.
How would it be best to achieve this balance? Are the buddypress profile pages flexible enough to add embedded video etc and can those be public while activity streams etc kept private for members only? Should I be treating the public directory and the buddypress community parts of the site completely separately? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi @inakie, please let me knowif you found a solution to this. I´m interested too. Thanks
There are several plugins that implement a point system into buddypress.
Hi, I´m new to BuddyPress (not so much to WordPress) and I´m having a bit of trouble getting it to work as expected.
Let´s go to the details…
I´ve setup two different installations of WP(Multisite) + BP in two different servers.
in both cases I get everything running with the exception of:
— @mention email notification
— friend request email notification
— reply email notification
strangely enough
— private messages
— new user regisistration
— new user activation key
get through and send the right emails
just for the record
Every user/profile used for testing purposes had a valid email address and all the notification emails checked in each profile configuration
WP(multisite) 3.0.4 with a single site for now and followed the installation guide
BP 1.2.7
No other plugin installed or runing
As I´ve said some Emails do go out (It´s not an email server problem) and just in case I´ve made some tests configuring SMTP but got just the same results.
BuddyPress is a great application and seems to work lovely with WP.
Is there a way to fix this problem and get those emails out?
That would be fantastic.
Please let me know of any possible tweak, tip, trick, hook or whatever may do the magic 
Thanks in advance,
Andrés
@mercime The tags are not needed in bp-custom.php because “unexpected “<" is referring to the tags, "unexpected" means there is an error in the code of where of it simply shouldn't be there. (tested, removed tags solved parse error)
Maybe I have the special bp-custom.php, but from my understanding you only need opening tags is of when you are creating or calling a brand new function, otherwise being split up in the file by a “}”
I could be wrong, but this is how I make php work.
@gunju2221 you need to have the opening “ to surround code especially if you just created a new bp-custom.php. The parse error you mentioned may have been caused by something else.
@Chatterpit the first link I gave show server and WordPress install requirements before installing BuddyPress. At this stage where you mentioned “Okay I just installed wordpress. I am logging in but it wont let me go to site admin when I click it?” it shows that your WP install is not even working correctly. There are many reasons for that and you should find resolution to your WP installation issue at WordPress.org forums before attempting to install BuddyPress plugin.
@residentcusano this will be the second post I’ve closed. Please don’t create more than one post on the same subject. Continue this one in the other which has received a response in.
