BuddyPress.org

Hi @hansvdzwet

What happens is that when the TemplatesNext Toolkit plugin is active, all and every BuddyPress related link shows a page containing the content of the main/home page.

Does the problem happen when the plugin is deactivated? If not, then I suggest you contact the plugin author letting them know the details. Hopefully they can issue a fix.

Hi @butterzeugs,

Here are a couple of options:

• rtMedia
• MediaPress

Hi @backpackersunion,

Companion stylesheets were introduced in 2.3. You can read more about them here.

If they’re not quite to your taste, you can dequeue them. Here’s an example of how to do it:

function dequeue_bp_twentyfifteen() {
    wp_dequeue_style( 'bp-twentyfifteen' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_bp_twentyfifteen' );

I can confirm that the url path is stripped out but the actual members page should still work either directly navigated to or clicking the page link as nested under a parent dropdown which should result in page being found but at it’s root position my-site.com/members/

Can we confirm that the page does still exist and is viewable, in the meantime I’ll open a trac ticket to log the page hierarchical issue.

This issue is ticketed for looking into:

Does this help?

You can do that by adding this constant in wp-config.php

define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id );

I’m thinking you probably want option B: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/#b-network-wide-activation-buddypress-root-blog-in-secondary-site

Well, I just tested it and it didn’t work. Hopeful someone can come in and suggest an alternate fix. One of the issues is that the code I’ve pasted there was pulled from a source that switched to smart quotes rather than regular quotes, but that doesn’t seem to be the only issue as I’ve rectified that on my test and it didn’t help.

Here’s the source:

How to Add, Remove, and Change the Order Of BuddyPress Component Menu

Use, or create, the bp-custom.php file in your plugins folder: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/

Add this to it (make sure you add a <?php tag if you are creating a bp-custom file for the first time.

function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

// Change Menu Order
$bp->bp_nav[‘profile’][‘position’] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘position’] = 20;
$bp->bp_nav[‘groups’][‘position’] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav[‘blogs’][‘position’] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘position’] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav[‘settings’][‘position’] = 60;

// Remove a menu item
$bp->bp_nav['activity'] = false;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );

I haven’t tested this. I hijacked it from here: http://themekraft.com/customize-profile-and-group-menus-in-buddypress/

This post may help. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-in-mobile-view/

MS integrates wonderfully with BuddyPress. When network activated on a Multisite, activity from across the network is recorded on the users Profile. Just be sure to check Site Tracking under Settings/Buddypress once you network activate BuddyPress (https://cloudup.com/i_-p1kJGUwd). Once upon a time, BP was ONLY compatible with Multisite: you couldn’t run it on a single WP install.

Note that this will give your users the ability to have their own blogs. This is separate from the ability to post from the front end. For this you would need to make a theme like P2 your network default. http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-set-the-default-theme-for-wordpress-multisite/

Given that you have been able to diagnose that this is a theme issue, particularly on a theme that you paid for, I would suggest going back to the theme author to see if they can help. X Themes seems to be a popular issue tonight. You’re the second one I’ve come across:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-plugin-activated/#post-240153

It’s hard to know what that file is doing without seeing the whole thing. It’s not a standard BP file, it’s something your theme developer has added to provide additional functionality to the theme (something that would probably be better left as a plugin, but that’s another argument entirely). BuddyPress has its own theme compatibility layer, that should make it look nice in any theme. Your theme is clearly trying to do something fancy with BuddyPress in a way that is messing things up.

A quick google search reveals a few different people having issues with the xTheme and BP.

This topic seems to suggest that if the activity stream isn’t activated in Settings/BuddyPress/Activity Streams then there is an error:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-website-dowm/

You could try commenting out the line as suggested in the above link. You could comment out line 427. You could temporarily delete the entire buddypress.php file in your theme (use your FTP program to throw it on your desktop and then delete it).

In the end, the X themes developer should really be the one to fix this.

Please don’t post the same question multiple times. See this link for a response: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/default-to-display-name-publicly-as-username/

You could use this plugin — https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-usernames-only — to override the Display name so that only the username shows. I find this makes a lot of sense in communities where @mentions are a prevalent means of connecting. By default the Display name on the profile will still be the Nice Name, rather than the username, but you can change that by adding this snippet to your wp-config.php file

define( 'BP_SHOW_DISPLAYNAME_ON_PROFILE', false );

If you go into Tools/BuddyPress there is a function called Data to Repair: Count Total Members which might help. Otherwise I have noticed that occasionally user count is updated when the user actually starts participating on the site, not immediately after they register. I can’t test this, but I feel like I noticed something similar previously, and it sorted itself out.

On a multisite, you activate BuddyPress Network wide, and it then exists as a Social Network on the main domain (it doesn’t affect your multisite otherwise, and subdomains or subdirectories — depending on how you have set things up — will not be able to create their own social networks). Once activated, BP will track your users’ activity across the entire network (comments they leave on other blogs, posts they create, etc.)

Once activated, go into Network Admin/Settings/BuddyPress, and make sure that Site Tracking is enabled to get the full benefit. Users will need to be subscribers on the main domain in order to contribute: a role they should be assigned automatically when they are registered.
