BuddyPress.org

Great, there is a solution for my problem!
But, what is it?

Thanks

Custom permalink structure shouldn’t matter, but have you tried resaving the permalink settings?
Also try disabling any plugins that might interfere with this. Including redirect and caching plugins.

As a last resort, you can always create a page template copying exactly what is in /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php and setting that as the front page…

Make sure you have a /bp-themes/bp-default/ folder complete with stylesheet in your /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ folder.

If you don’t, manually reupload the BuddyPress plugin to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder:

Depending on your BP version, have you tried upgrading BuddyPress?

Also try to resave your permalink settings:

I have activity stream set as frontpage on a secondary blog on my test install.
Works fine.

Welcome Pack should allow you to automatically join users to groups the site admin defines when their account is activated.

Be sure to read the following as well when using Welcome Pack to force users to groups:

Besides, if you attempt to post to a forum topic that you’re not a member of, you will automatically join that group when you reply to that forum thread.

@travel-junkie thanks for the reply. I will get it this week for sure. I tried getting the signup plugin, but every time i tried to log on in the processing checkout it did not recognize my username or password…any ideas?

“BuddyPress Auto Group Join” only kind of works. It requires that you have multi-site enabled for it to work.

I can’t figure out how to unload wp_enqueue_script() files Has anyone done this before?

@imjscn If this is urgent I would recommended that you edit the default theme’s functions.php and delete the wp_enqueue_script() line. Remember this is only temporary and when you update BuddyPress in future, it will get added again.

@hcleary

Please try upgrading to the newest version of the theme, which you can download at buddyboss.com. If you have an old version (from a week or two ago) there was a bug with this exact issue.

Michel, this forum is quietest at weekends. Please allow a day or two before re-posting to a topic; if you haven’t had a response, then people probably don’t have an answer.

As you can tell from the trac ticket you found, when it was previously reported, no-one figured out exactly why this was happening, so we couldn’t fix it. Looking at a comment on the ticket now, someone seems to think that if you put the following line into your theme’s functions.php, it might resolve the issue:

remove_action( 'pre_user_login', 'bp_core_strip_username_spaces' );

If the ticket covers the same problem that you have, this might be a fix. You can tell by creating a new user account once you’ve put that into your functions.php. I cannot guarantee that this would not cause any other issues. Indeed, I can’t understand why BuddyPress does this anyway, without spending a couple of hours investigating.

The issue seems to be the presence of spaces in the username/log in name. If this does fix your issue, please would you give us a sample of username/log in name so I can investigate.
