BuddyPress.org

gunju2221,

After logging into your account directly from the GoDaddy.com website, or the GoDaddy hosting control panel (https://hostingmanager.secureserver.net/Login.aspx), go to the Hosting Control Center and choose the File Manager that brings up all of the files in your hosting account. The “html” folder should be first to come up already opened and will house all of your site’s content. Next click on the “wp-content” folder. Then click on the “plugins” folder. Then click on the “buddypress” folder (this is where all files and folders related to BuddyPress reside as it is truly just really a robust, and wonderfully awesome, plugin). Then click on the “bp-forums” folder. You will then see the bb-config.php file. I believe that is the one you are in search of, no? You can’t access this through the wp-admin on your website. It must be done through an FTP client, cpanel, or as I have described above.

I know it’s irritating when a problem arises and holds you hostage while you pull out your hair looking for the solution, but instead of continuing the “bump” business, and further irritating the folks here, you can always try searching out your questions about WordPress/BuddyPress in Google, Bing, blogs, and other forums and so forth. I’ve literally found the answers to a majority of my past questions elsewhere than on here, though BuddyPress.org and it’s community is the obvious authority on all things BuddyPress. That’s certainly no slight on the terrific community of developers and volunteers here on BuddyPress, it’s just a fact. It is getting better though as time goes on.

The rest of the BuddyPress community,

A polite suggestion to the folks on here trying to answer questions that people have who aren’t quite as familiar with the product as you; Treat it like a car. Generally speaking, people don’t really need to know how it works, they just want to know how to drive it. Keep it simple, and forget about all of the tech jargon and mumbo-jumbo. For the location of the “bb-config.php” file, spell it out in the most direct and simplest of terms that you can muster, like I did above with a direct path to the file (think picture book). That’s it. It shouldn’t matter where your installation is hosted at as the basic files should all reside in the same place, unless you’ve moved them yourself after the install. This suggestion comes from a tech veteran who’s worked in IT over the past 20 years – mainframes, networking, hardware, software, web, etc.

@gunju2221 When I’ve had this problem in the past, it’s been because either the forum corresponding to a group didn’t get created, or the forum_id for the group didn’t get saved in the groupmeta table at the time of group creation (or whenever you enabled forums in that group). It looks like you are using a couple of plugins that tap into group creation (Group Control, Documents, Reviews, Email Subscription, etc.). Try temporarily deactivating them, and then *creating a new group with forums enabled*, and then posting in that forum. If it works, then you’ll have to pick through those plugins to see which one is causing the problem.

@bkeller99 thanks for your post…
It helped me…
Do you know why doesn’t the mail go ?

You should post here – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/forum/ and I would suggest that you be more specific about what kind of customization/work you want done. There’s customization and there’s “customization!”

@sastry Please please please do not post the same question in ten different threads. It is disruptive to those monitoring buddypress.org for new information, and it makes it more likely that any answers to your question will be fragmented across the site. When you have a question that has not been asked before, your best bet is to start a new thread rather than bombarding a bunch of old ones.

Sorry have no idea but it shouldn’t be hard to determine, download it and check it’s stylesheet comments, or even try and install it you should soon know if it’s BP compatible.

@vanisla – It will be easier if you have HTML/CSS and WP theming experience. Check out this template pack walkthrough for some ideas – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

You can borrow styling from lines 291 – 1750 of the default.css of bp-default theme.
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.6/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css
Then adjust/customize styling to taste.

ok, polldaddy works great, but no possibility to create a poll on user’s side as i see. isn’t there a poll system compatible to buddypress that allows to attach a poll to an activity? or is there a possibility to have a poll attached to the forum coming with buddypress?

You’ll need to run the template pack plugin on it

@twig.. No I’m starting on it this weekend. Have been busing finishing up other stuff.. But it’s on the works

The forums component of BuddyPress i.e the forums available under / within ‘Groups’ is provided by a bundled copy of bbPress, so now the extra detail (this is why it’s so vital to supply all pertinent info from the start) you provide somewhat changes the nature of things:

And little more info on the problem, is I am not using the current version of BB, because the latest version just put me on more problems
<snip>because, as an experiment, I switched to the BB default theme!

BB theme? do you mean BP theme?

I think you are going to need to clarify – in detail – your site setup, so were clear on what were dealing with.

So do we take it that you have installed a separate copy of BBpress? of so I suggest that you uninstall / deactivate it and re-run the buddypresss forum install as a fresh install, but I’m not 100% on that as I’m not sure really exactly how you have set things up @mercime may have some thoughts on this so best to wait for further input.

You do need to establish how your site is set up, what paths and directories it uses and as to how you access them well that for most folk is normally via ftp and ftp connection will generally log you into your server root, that is the level above your doc root, you would then normally see a few directories listed. On a Linux server your doc root can variously take names such as html_docs, www, html_public, http_public, htdocs but it’s this directory, however named, that contains your main site files and in WP/BP case it holds the main config, index, and other startup files including bb-config. We can’t really tell you how you access your site that is really something you must work out, you must have got the files up there in the first place or was this one of those script installs?
