BuddyPress.org

I had the same problem with one of my users and found that w3-total-cache was causing the problem.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/

I disabled it and she could post again.

Check the support area of your hyper cache plugin and see if others are reporting stuff there. W3-Total-Cache was full of people reporting bad things happening…

Have you had a look through the codex? There are guides to working with child themes and theme compatibility. If they don’t help post back to thread.

same here with
WordPress 3.6 (upgraded)
BuddyPress 1.8.1 (upgraded)
BP Default Theme

I opened a ticket on this: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5140

@andresdez before doing anything else, including activating or re-activating BP, could you switch to the twentytwelve theme then attempt to activate BP and tell us what happens.

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

yes well that is the standard way to deactivate plugins when they don’t want to cooperate or if you cannot access wpadmin because of the fault so i don’t see any reason why that wouldn’t work.

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.

+1

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).
