BuddyPress.org

hi @gatera,

It’s only a PHP notice, and harmless in regard of a PHP Warning message. Apparently, your plugin is not completely compatible with BuddyPress or at least called to early or something like that.

You must debug your install.

Thanks @gatera! It might just be reflecting a problem in the other plugin, but I’ve created a bug report for BuddyPress and we’ll look into it sometime to see if it’s our fault or if there’s something we could be doing better. Thanks for letting us know:

@giantqtipz,

i would suggest to track down your install first, before trying to ignore a setting error by adding a workaround.

With a correct BuddyPress setup, the top right menu (under Howdy) contains any links you need to your profile, groups, notifications, etc

What i see on your site is a profile link (aside forum button) who leads to what is normally the members directory.

Check your BP components and give each activated one his own page. This is mandatory to get BP to work correctly.

Check also for the BuddyPres menu if you want to use it with your theme
dashboard > apparence > menu and activate “buddypress menu” in the screen options (top right corner when on the Menu admin page) if you don’t see it in the left column of this page.

Finally make a test with one of WP’s theme before activating Dynamic New.

Search also for bp_parse_args on the codex.

@bphelp, thank you for your comprehensive advice, but it’s already sticky in “When asking for support”… So i’m affraid that a bit of exasperation will sometimes continue to appear in one or other topic. Sorry for that, i’m not a machine. 😉

@robertosalemi,

did you searched the forum before asking ?
No…

hi @roddaut,

don’t thought to much, a theme can influence over all a site, including the admin. This happens in 90% of the issues handled on this forum.

Thought the latest Canvas was 2014.10.14 – version 5.8.5

would that not remove many of the buddypress features available to members who sign up to your site?

After lots of searching I finally got round the problem of BP/WP not taking you to the registration page by adding the following file into wp-content/plugins/

bp-custom.php

<?php
/**
* Disables BuddyPress’ registration process and fallsback to WordPress’ one.
*/
function my_disable_bp_registration() {
remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );
remove_action( ‘bp_screens’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_loaded’, ‘my_disable_bp_registration’ );

add_filter( ‘bp_get_signup_page’, “firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page”);
function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
return bp_get_root_domain() . ‘/wp-signup.php’;
}

This dispenses with BP’s registration system and falls back to the standard WP registration.

hi @nickfisher,

It worked well for the first few weeks of use but since this morning it hasn’t been.

That’s because the breakfast coffee was too cold. 😉 What have you done before “this morning” ?

I suggest to review your install, as at the moment, nore the Members or the Groups button are working.
Their URL is correct: http://community.yourfreedomtrain.com/groups/, but loose the directory on click. Do you use a redirection plugin or script ?

Deactivate all plugins (jetpack,etc) while testing BP/WP. The couple should work properly before adding other tools.

You’re using a subdomain for BP. This can, so far i remember, only be done if WorPress is multisite configured. Is that the case ?
If yes, have you followed those install instruction ?
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/
Has the htaccess file the correct requests for such a configuration ?

Otherwhise, prefer a standard install and use a directory for BP instead.
yourfreedomtrain.com/community/

Check that all of your active BP components have their own page.

Configure BuddyPress

Enable pretty permalinks.

recent replies and most popular topics are not buddypress widgets.
Recent replies belongs to bbpress, but i don’t know about most popular topics…

Can you give the source code of those widgets please (but not the whole page) ?
Highlight them in your browser, right-click > show selection source.

Do you use an old buddypress specific theme ? Do you use a custom function somewhere (functions.php or bp-custom.php) ? Do you use a child-theme ?

Have you enabled Profile syncing in BP settings.

On a default install, when a user log in, he’s not redirected to his profile.
Can you test by deactivating all your plugins, except BP and with 2013 theme activated ?

In addition to @bphelp ‘s advice, my 2 cents concerning BuddyPress and the possibility to use forums in different configuration but also user groups, take a look here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/groups/

and about group forums:

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

As usage example, visit this site which use groups and forums. Hope you have nothing against motorcycles ! 😉

@dromicus
BuddyPress is for the social networking components and does not provide forums without an additional plugin. You will need bbPress which is for forums and it does integrate with BuddyPress.
