BuddyPress.org

I changed the syntax for the one BP uses and the plugin is working so far.
For example, instead of using the standar conditional tags !is_page(‘register’) try !bp_is_register_page() in order to prevent a widget to show up in the sidebar when a user gets to “yourdomain.com/register”
A full list of functions to determine the current page can be found at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-and-widget-logic (thanks to alanft)
I hope this may help

Dear Mark!

I have just installed BuddyPress 1.2.6 along with WordPress 3.0.1, installed translations for both and put `define (‘WPLANG’, ‘pl_PL’);` inside wp-config.php. Everything seems to work fine, even if only the BuddyPress translation is in place.

If I’m not mistaken, I believe you’ve been inspired by http://www.workathomemommies.com/

If you want to learn how to widgetize a page so you can put whatever you want on it, here’s a great tutorial:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

If you just want to style the appearance of blog posts on your frontpage, you can do that through CSS.
There are any number of great resources and tutorials in the vast wilderness of cyberspace to help you learn what you need to know. To help you identify exactly what you need to change in your theme’s CSS to get the effect you want, I highly recommend installing the Firebug for Firefox addon:

Hope this helps!

@pcwriter – Yes, the performance thing was interesting.

Quoting his SEO recommendations (@mikey3d) as though he were an authority, wasn’t so clever.

Here’s a link from seomoz.org (they make their money knowing about SEO): http://www.seomoz.org/knowledge/url – they are also open to reasoned debate about whether they are right or wrong!

As for your link problem – that’s because your activity stream items are ‘compiled’ when the activity was created – not when it is displayed – when it was created, you had your old permalink structure (so, that’s what got displayed).

It’s more luck, rather than design, that Otto’s permalink structure also maps your old permalink structure to the same pages as your new structure. I’d happily take the lucky break though!

My thoughts:-
If you don’t have a lot of activity already, and don’t expect a huge huge site (with performance worries!) – then go for the SEO friendly (/%category%/%postname%/), and accept a few of the old permalinks won’t work.
If not, stick with the Otto settings that are working at the moment

I don’t know of any large BuddyPress sites that share their traffic, unfortunately.

You probably need to update your theme. If you built it yourself, take a look at https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-default-theme-changelog/, otherwise ask the person who built it for you.

Create groups is also missing for me now… and it wasn’t before. I’m so confused and exhausted!

And is it the activated theme on your BuddyPress site?
Do the other BuddyPress links work.. Members, groups, activity?
Hover over your profile link – which URL is it trying to send you to?

Try changing your permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/

Can you do that, or do you get an error message?

If successful, do BuddyPress links now work
If not, you need to configure your server correctly for WordPress before using BuddyPress

Have you installed / activated a BuddyPress compatible theme, eg bp-default, on your BuddyPress site?

I’m noticing this behavior as well – even though it was ‘fixed’ in April … https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2921

Don’t know if that fix was included in the latest release?
