BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I did, I renew and it doesn’t work. I am getting the same problem.

Can you rename the buddypress folder in the server causing no problem???

I hope you can give me the steps to solve this problem because I am geeting crazy:

I am using WP 3.6 with this template:

http://themeforest.net/item/powermag-the-most-muscular-magazinereviews-theme/4740939?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=djwd

Thanks
Andrés

I’m having the same problem here, running 3.5.2 and BP 1.7.3.
Default theme was installed and working. I’ve created a child theme with a style.css as per instructions linked above, then copied the header.php from the bp-default folder to the new theme folder, edited it to remove the search bar, activated the new child theme, everything was working fine. At next log-in the Dashboard says ‘ERROR: The themes directory is either empty or doesn’t exist. Please check your installation.’ and the Themes page ‘The parent theme is missing. Please install the “bp-default” parent theme.’
But all the bp-default files are still there on my FTP, no changes were made.

try renaming the folder through ftp

I’m curious about this functionality as well. I have an existing wordpress site with a bunch of content on it that I don’t want to delete but want to limit access to using groups, so that I can invite friends to still be able to access it. BuddyPress groups seems perfect for this.

might need to do a fresh install of buddypress

if that doesnt work than a fresh install of both

Forum, bbPress? Is this site running BuddyPress?

bbPress translation issues will be better asked on their forum support as bbPress is a standalone plugin.

Did you ever find or create any code for this?

As said all too often never ever edit any files in core!

There is a template hierarchy that allows for overloading of files to a child theme for safely editing. You need to check through the Codex Documentation please, read up on the process of creating child themes, on the theme compatibility layer and it’s templates and how to modify.

You don’t explain what process you are following in terms of themes, activated the older bp-default theme in appearance > themes, or activated another theme, as you say those edits didn’t take affect it suggests that in fact bp-default theme is not in use and that actually you are running under theme compatibility in which case using a different set of template files, but reading those guides in the codex will give you a better understanding of how BP deals with templates.

As for changing labels ther is also a language file guide explaining how to edit the language files to produce a new version with the labels you require.

Thanks for your help.

I just tried that. I created the two pages and linked to them.

Then I visited the page and logged out to see what would happen when I click on register. When I do it I go to http://mydomain.com/games/members-2/ which displays my mainsite homepage (not the buddypress site – that’s installed in the games directory) minus the css. It doesn’t take me to a registration page.

I’m talking about the setup. So when I go to Buddypress settings I get:
” The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair”

Then it looks like I am supposed to select a page for each of the following:

Register >
Activate>

The pages that come up in the dropdown menu for me to choose from are:

Activity
Members
Sample Page

Which do I choose? There is also the option to create a new page but I don’t know if that is what I’m meant to do.

Try adding this to the bp_core_new_nav_item array:

'position'        => 40,
'user_has_access' => bp_is_my_profile(),
'default_subnav_slug' => 'test'

I’m also looking for this. Looks like one option is User Account Type Pro (http://rimonhabib.com/buddypress-user-account-type-pro-has-been-released/) but the information on this is sketchy, the pro site page is currently in maintenance mode and I read on another post that it is not compatible with 1.8. Also the Lite version on the WP repo has a few unanswered questions about whether this is being supported.

So that looks a bit bleak. Anyone have any other ideas?

10k concurrent users is definitely a large number to be shooting for and correlates to something like a million visitors a day. in that case you would be running one of the most heavily trafficked site on the internet i would not be qualified to make hardware recommendations for anything like that but lets just say you would never want to start with that kind of overhead because you are talking many thousands of dollars a month just for bandwidth.

For a more realistic starting point i usually recommend some kind of linux vps. Usually memory and storage is not a concern with these kind of configurations but again this is nothing like a situation with 10k visitors on your site at any given time (buddypress or no).

Hi,

I’ve deactivated all other plugins apart from BP and put the default theme back on but no register or activate pages come up in the buddypress page settings. I’ve done it many times with no difference. Any suggestions of things to try next?

If I created pages and just called them register and activate, would they actually be anything other than a blank page? How do I link to the real pages?

I would never buy another theme from themeforest. For the most part especially when dealing with themeforest the themes authors support is flaky. I also dispise using bloated themes like the ones you get from themeforest. It seems to me that the more bloated a theme is then the more issues the purchaser has. If they say it is a BuddyPress theme don’t count on it. You will get suckered into buying this theme then after the fact you will find out that they don’t offer support for the buddypress. They will tell you to get support here but no one here will help you either because they don’t have access to the premium theme. The theme I got from them has jquery issues that comes from the theme because twenty twelve works fine and this author has taken a month and only gave the cheesiest answers to get out of addressing that his theme was a mangled hunk o junk! So the short answer is use a theme from WP repo and use child theme to modify. Save your money and a headache!

See my replies toward the bottom of the page on the following topic:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/dynamic-urls-for-buddypress-user-profiles-friends-etc/
This is just a reference and is not all inclusive.

@cupid4 The ‘developers’ didn’t move anything , a good understanding of the changes in V 1.7 helps and the codex has some pages on theme compatibility changes. the bp-default theme still exists and in the same folder in the core files, a new folder was added for template files which serve the theme compatibility layer /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ these files are not the same as the older bp-default ones as they are template parts rather than full templates with header and footer calls.

Copying bp-default to your theme and re-naming doesn’t sound at all correct, this would not work! Your theme either activates the older bp-default theme in /appearance/themes in dashboard or it’s a child of bp-default and possibly then overloads files by copying e.g /members/index.php to your theme root else you activate any other theme and simply allow BP to run with it’s theme compatibility layer in that situation you can adjust templates by copying templates from /bp-templates/legacy/buddypress/ to /buddypress/ in your theme root, just don’t mix templates.

@rairai-ni have you tried reuploading BuddyPress manually i.e. via FTP? Have you double-checked your Settings > BuddyPress panels and resaved settings?
