Have you set up your BuddyPress pages?

Configure BuddyPress

If “Activate” is not set up, then WP will redirect you to your site’s home page.

You will need to modify the template file. See the Template Hierarchy article for more info.

Template Hierarchy

Hi,
most probably site tracking option is disabled. Please visit settings->BuddyPress and on the component page, please make sure that site tracking is enabled.

Once it is enabled, the new post/comments will be recorded in the activity.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

BuddyPress pages are not ordinary WordPress pages. These pages should be blank, without any template assigned. BP pages exist only for internal purpose and to have their own slug (and the benefit of permalinks). The content is always dynamic and change depending the context.

That is also the reason why you shouldn’t use a “page builder” for them untill you’re very comfortable with code and design.

If you need a full width output or a sidebar, you adjust that in your theme settings or preferences. You can easely do that with WP’s Customizer. Or course reading your theme documentation can also help.

If it is not possible that way, i recommand you use a child-theme, and add him any necessary part you’re actually missing. But ensure first that these parts are really missing !

BuddyPress comes with a few CSS rules who normally fit with any correctly coded theme. This means that it actually can be used with almost any existing theme.
BuddyPress has no sidebar
BuddyPress can be viewed on any existing device
BuddyPress fit to any screen size
This means that you have to adjust your theme first, and not BP.

Hi,

open your buddypress-nk_NO.po file with a text editor (notepad++ or so) and check you have a plural form for the untranslated string.

The’re several strings containing “members” with a count, but it will be easy to find if you search for “msgid_plural”.
At least, you should find something constructed like this:

#: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/groups/invites.php:34
msgctxt "Group member count"
msgid "%d member"
msgid_plural "%d members"
msgstr[0] "%d medlem"
msgstr[1] "%d medlemmer"

Again, note that it is only an example, you may find other strings containing “medlem” that you have eventually to adjust.

The important thing to control is the existence of “%d” and naturally, the presence of the plural form string in the translation.

If you still have trouble after controling/repairing/modifying, it could be possible that it is your theme. To ensure, do the same check in your theme translation.

Other thing to take in account

I’m not 100% sure, but so far i remember, the norvegian buddypress version is not completely translated.
Unfortunately, translate.wordpress.org is actually down and it is impossible to access the plugins translations at this time…

What i expect is that you have an old po file, fully translated, but perhaps not with the most recent changes and updates, which could explain that even if you have plural forms in your translation, they won’t show up in some places.
For ex. because the plural code changed from %s (in your version) to %d or something like that.
To avoid this, you can download the most recent pot file and rename it to buddypress-nk_NO.po.
Then you rename YOUR current version to .pot(with a T), import it to the new file, and adjust or complete the missing strings.

It took me awhile to think about what might be causing the issue and I just remembered the problem.

It’s a theme conflict with BuddyPress.

BuddyPress adds the CSS class hidden to a group in the group loop. Some themes might already have a .hidden class declared, so hidden groups are not shown because of this.

Can you add the following CSS snippet to your CSS?

#buddypress .bp-single-group.hidden {display:block;}

I believe this should fix your problem.

Do you have the friends component active?

It could be caused by the at-mentions suggestions code.

Try disabling it by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php file:
remove_action( 'bp_activity_mentions_prime_results', 'bp_friends_prime_mentions_results' );

How did you install bbPress?

It sounds like you activated the “Group Forums (Legacy)” component in BuddyPress. You should try disabling that.
