BuddyPress.org

Hi Gordon

Good to see you’ve now got it to work.

I’m having the same problems you had – to the letter – with getting forums to work. Am using shared hosting in the UK. Forums are not being created on the bbpress side and I’m getting the “There was an error posting that topic.” message on Buddypress.

Has anyone got the link to the xml-rpc testing files?

Thanks!

That’s a fairly standard WP message. I always ignore it and never have any problems.

I’am currently working on a matching bbPress theme for BuddyPress … But, it only fit my (tweaked) theme for BuddyPress

The forum is up and running, but the theme is still in development

The color scheme i use can be seen over here:

I’m already using Amazon S3 for uploaded images on buddypress site http://restaurace.net

Hi, I’d like to know if the idea modemlooper raise to have “blog” as one option in the group side bar has materialized? The community blog plugin is great, and it would be nice to see that fully integrated with the group concept in Buddypress.

Ehy Jeff look here wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/register.php

if you’ve a customized theme copy register.php and activation.php from /themes/buddypress-home to your theme

put bp plugins in /plugins/buddypress

Check your error logs. This kind of problem leaves a trace. The problem is probably a php fatal error of some sort. That will lead you to the solution.

The bbPress template is PAINFUL to modify. Doesn’t work the same was as WordPresss.

I’ve found though that the blank theme available from

http://www.refueled.net/blank-themes/

make creating a matching theme so much easier.

Check them out.

Upgrade to the latest svn mu 2.7.1 branch: http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7

There was a bug in mu that tried to load plugins that don’t exist. Since you don’t have the individual bp plugins anymore, they don’t exist. That might be the problem. This was fixed in rev 1720.

This isn’t possible with the level of integration that buddypress has with the forum component, bbpress. Maybe in future.

I had the same problem after updating BP. Everything works fine now.

Actually, those instructions apply even if you have customized just the home theme or the member theme. Even though it does not explicitly say so, if you have customized your home theme, you should copy over the new functions.php file from the buddypress-home theme folder in RC2.

There are also some changes to the code in the header.php file that you may want to make in your custom header.php file. In fact, for good measure, you should copy over any of the files from the new theme directory that you have not hacked in your custom theme.

Finally, just in case, have you read this thread?

@Socialpreneur, I didn’t design it — Tim Bowen of Creative Slice did the visual theme modifications. But thanks! It’s a strong community and BuddyPress has been the perfect fit for us.

At this point in development, will i need to develop one theme for my buddypress and one theme for my bbpress? so that there will be no difference between the two?

In short, yes.

If you want your site-wide forum theme to look like your BuddyPress theme, you’ll have to customize both themes.

Hally-

wp-signup.php is a WordPress Mu file, not a BuddyPress file. Look within the directory you’ve installed WPMU.

Scotm-

Did you follow the instructions for custom themes at the very end of Andy’s first post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994#post-10557 ?

As others started the upgrade process, and had certain issues, he made changes to the instructions. Depending on when you upgraded, you may have missed this.

Read this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1661#post-8547

First, we need some basic information:

1. What version of WPMU and BuddyPress are you running?

Until we have that information, perhaps this thread will help: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1661#post-8547

Ah — you mentioned RC1. Then yes, the BuddyPress plugins would be in “mu-plugins” still.

Write in new language to msgstr within buddypress.pot and save as buddypress-spots.mo

Make sure you are creating the MO file from a PO file, which is in turn a copy of the POT that is bundled with BuddyPress.

Your “bp-languages” directory should look something like this:

buddypress.pot

buddypress-mysite.po

buddypress-mysite.mo

If you have trouble editing the POT or PO in a text editor, you can use special software also — see https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress and look for “Translation Tools.” In my opinion those are overkill for this type of thing, though.
