BuddyPress.org

That’s what I thought it was for. Thanks for verifying @mercime – I was half thinking such capability settings would be performed via the backend dashboard – but of course this is BuddyPress – for front end stuff! 🙂

hi,
finally i found a plugin to manage it:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-auto-group-join/screenshots/

thanks,

Sorry I didn’t include the code for that. Yes, it is in the wp functions.php file, but it is relevant to bp theme. Here is the full function that line 100 is found in. Line 100 is the third to last, which starts with “add action”.

/**
 * Sets up theme defaults and registers support for various WordPress and BuddyPress features.
 *
 * Note that this function is hooked into the after_setup_theme hook, which runs
 * before the init hook. The init hook is too late for some features, such as indicating
 * support post thumbnails.
 *
 * To override bp_dtheme_setup() in a child theme, add your own bp_dtheme_setup to your child theme's
 * functions.php file.
 *
 * @global BuddyPress $bp The one true BuddyPress instance
 * @since BuddyPress (1.5)
 */
function bp_dtheme_setup() {

	// Load the AJAX functions for the theme
	require( get_template_directory() . '/_inc/ajax.php' );

	// This theme styles the visual editor with editor-style.css to match the theme style.
	add_editor_style();

	// This theme comes with all the BuddyPress goodies
	add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );

	// This theme uses post thumbnails
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

	// Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to head
	add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );

	if ( ! is_admin() || ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) ) {
		// Register buttons for the relevant component templates
		// Friends button
		if ( bp_is_active( 'friends' ) )
			add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_add_friend_button',           5 );

		// Activity button
		if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() )
			add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_send_public_message_button',  20 );

		// Messages button
		if ( bp_is_active( 'messages' ) )
			add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_send_private_message_button', 20 );

		// Group buttons
		if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) {
			add_action( 'bp_group_header_actions',     'bp_group_join_button',           5 );
			add_action( 'bp_directory_groups_actions', 'bp_group_join_button' );
		}

		// Blog button
		if ( bp_is_active( 'blogs' ) )
			add_action( 'bp_directory_blogs_actions',  'bp_blogs_visit_blog_button' );
	}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'bp_dtheme_setup' );
endif;

if ( !function_exists( 'bp_dtheme_enqueue_scripts' ) ) :

In the first install the failed bp had been installed and working for a few days. It suddenly gave errors when I edited a css color code on line 1211 in this file and uploaded it to the server by ftp. Yeah, I know you might say I made a mistake, but I know I did it correctly. And they you might say the file got corrupted in transfer, except that the second install on godaddy had no such changes or transfers and in short order – less than an hour of use with no other plugins or style changes – gave the same final error for line 100 when I changed my public name in the buddypress members listing, at which point neither the front nor back ends were accessible.

Looking forward to your insights.

The Mystery Man image is selected in Settings > Discussion.
What is happening is that Buddypress is assigning a new user id # to new members but the folder for that user id # still exists so they are inheriting an old image avatar. When they go to upload their avatar for the first time the old deleted profile image appears instead of the Mystery Man image.
I suppose a quick fix is to FTP into the wp-content/uploads/avatars folder and delete out any of the deleted user folders so that this doesn’t happen.

I would think that Buddypress would delete these old avatar image folders when users or admin decide to delete a profile. When plugins are deleted the folders are deleted from the server so I am not sure why the avatar files should be any different.

Nevermind, I figured it out!

I created a buddypress.php file AND a bbpress.php file and uploaded them to my theme directory.

I created these files as copies from my page-template-full-width.php file.

Thank you so much for the help!

Alright so I did what I described as above, and the full-width pages now work on all of my Buddypress pages, BESIDES my Forums page.

Forums (NOT OK): http://shredlounge.com/forums/
Groups (OK): http://shredlounge.com/groups/
Members (OK): http://shredlounge.com/members/
Activity (OK): http://shredlounge.com/activity

Is there some .css I need to edit for this? Thanks again for all your help!

Does that buddypress.php file go in the same directory as the page-template-full-width.php file?

Aka, wp-content/themes/detube/buddypress.php ?

I’ve gone in and removed all other plugins and used the default theme, but I still have the same problem.

I tried some of the solutions on the link below, but none of them worked:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/group-creation-error-are-you-sure-you-want-to-do-this

Thanks for the reply. I am on a VPS with Digital Ocean so I don’t have a control panel. I will put in a support ticket to see if they can help me find the log file using FTP or from the command line.
Regarding clearing the cache, do I have to install a caching plugin for that or is it possible to clear cache from dashboard?
I tried the registration process from the default Buddypress theme and it happened again. The new user is picking up one of the existing avatar upload folders and inheriting the image by default. The old image appears in the profile before I even get a chance to select a new profile image.
The site is in maintenance mode but I will leave it open for now. Here is one of the new profiles that is inheriting a test image: http://www.uberon.net/goblinqueen/
Thanks for your feedback!

Here is more information about our installation.
