BuddyPress.org

ok, now we are sure that your db is working.

What about buddypress ?

Could be that some old information are still in the base, so i suggest to restart a fresh install of buddypress. But first delete correctly bp. 😉

Follow the instructions from here, specially those related to the option table

Deleting BuddyPress

hi @rundall,

welcome to this forum !

Have a nice day!

I really have no idea why buddypress tables can not be created on your DB.
A rough solution would be trying to install another plugin, who also create tables and to check if it is working. MyCred is such a plugin. Clean and safe and written for buddypress. that plugin install one table. Give this a try. Upload, activate and see if a table called yourprefix_mycred_log is in the db.

If it exist, your db is ok as it accet table creation, but not from bp installer.

What is blocking BP in this case ?

One of the future of jetpack is
The ability to allow applications to securely authenticate and access your site with your permission.

See if you have a setting that would prevent plugins activation or db access

Deleting BuddyPress

If you follow all of the instructions in that article you should get to the point where you can reinstall.

hi @dea8885,
I don’t think it is possible to get different group on different pages. But if you give more details about why you want to do this, somebody can help you find another solution ?

The group component use only one page for all groups. This page is the one you create when you activate the group component. From this point it is no more an ordinary page. So forget adding shortcodes to it.

Component pages are intended to be used internaly for wp purpose, where buddypress add/remove templates and content depending the context.
This page should stay empty.

@annyrakesh,

it’s the third old topic i found where you jumped in, please don’t do that and open your, and describe your problem.

I answered you about the pot file on this topic (closed now)
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-form-error-message/#post-190323

@annyrakesh,

please don’t jump into old post !

You want to modifify this phrase:

Registering for this site is easy. Just fill in the fields below, and we’ll get a new account set up for you in no time. who sit on the register page.

The string is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php line 22
and in the pot file of bp 2.0.2 at line 1236.

The pot file is a working copy for translators, not the file to modify to get any customization.
To do this you have to use poEdit, or a similar software.
poEdit only read the pot file, then he create a po file on the fly and when you save this po file, poEdit generate a mo file.

This is a compiled file, not human readable, who is used by the gettext php module to translate the strings he find in the buddypress code.

Pot files are provided by the plugin authors. It’s a simple text format file with a specific syntax.
The po file is also a text format file, but written differently, as it contains the original string in english AND the translation of this string in a foreign language.
And the mo file is the system file who have to use on the server.

register.php is a template file, so if you have to change only this phrase, you can make a copy and paste it into your child-theme and modify the wording directly in the file. Not orthodox, but it works.

If you have other question about translation or wordings, feel free to open your own topic, give your bp version, theme name and used language on the installation.

Topic closed.

Bug confirmed: ticket

@christicehurst,

in other words, you didn’t use buddypress for a while and when you reactivate the plugin, all goes wrong.

The easiest way to go is to deactivate buddypress from your plugins list and delete it.
Check it is really the case in the wp-content/plugins/ directory on the FTP server.
Then you check your database and delete any table (16 tables on a single install) you may encounter related to BP.
Those tables are are all prefixed like this: _bp_table_name. By default, wp_bp_table_name.

Once done, go back to your wordpress install and check if the site is working flawless.
If ok, you install a new copy of buddypress via the plugin installer on the dashboard.

Activate, adjust BP settings without forgetting the permalink setting, and enjoy.

I was going on both my own experience with the editor and the note in the Codex article I referenced above. My own experience wasn’t with the what’s new form so if it’s working for the what’s new form then completely disregard what I said above 🙂

Edit: And you’re right about BuddyPress JavaScript needing the #whats-new selector. I can see it’s used a couple of times inside buddypress.js.

hi @henrywright,

you’re right, but buddypress use his own js to handle this textarea, and use what-new as ID and as name.
If you remove the hyphen, the editor doesn’t work correctly because js couldn’t recognize it.

Of course i tested with 2013, but also with 2014 and 3 other themes containing heavy js effect without any conflict. I think if BP is working without any issue with a given theme, the snippet can be used.

If you have a better solution, i would be glad to learn.

Strange, I was thinking of that service actually now, and I saw this..would be nice to know how much it can help buddypress..

I understand, but i’m not here to help supporting premium themes. You paid the theme and for support.

If you don’t know how to do this, you may want to consider hiring a developer.
