BuddyPress.org

It’s important to understand that this is a theme issue, not BP’s issue, as of 1.7 BP re-factored how it worked to a huge degree and added theme compatibility, designed to allow BP content to work seamlessly in any WP theme providing the theme followed basic WP template practises -it’s a real shame so many don’t!

They replied and said the buddypress pages should be using the buddypress page templates and asked if I have installed the buddypress page templates correctly.

This is somewhat outdated advice and sounds as though they are suggesting the old template pack process or copying over bp-default theme templates, neither of these are what you need to be doing and require a little knowledge to achieve.

As said earlier all you need is a correctly functioning page.php, clearly this theme prevents page.php working as is normally expected so the answer is copy page.php & rename it buddypress.php in order that you may make custom mods in that file without page.php and your themes templating breaking. Now in buddypress.php you need to have a working and ‘Normal’ WP loop plus any other html markup structure your theme uses, however this is the sort of thing the theme author can best handle or at least they will understand what needs doing.

Again earlier I pointed out where you can find an example loop in the WP default theme twentytwelve but you need something like this in your content area of your custom buddypress.php file:

<div id=”content” role=”main”>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

</div><!– #content –>

However whereas this may kick the custom template into life it doesn’t account for the theme markup structure so likely would look broken, but we have no understanding of what this theme does with it’s templates so can’t really advice – again the theme author could and needs to understand how BP now works as a simple one file include with their theme could allow them to state their theme is BP compatible.

Lastly and for anyone else reading the thread understand that the best place to source themes which are BP compatible is the official WP theme repo as the theme checks run on submitted themes will ensure standard WP practises are adhered to, buy premium themes and you take your chances, unless they are from a well known source and /or clearly state BP compatible or if not that they DO follow the WP templating API not invent their own I would avoid also I would avoid unless there was a strong support area for the theme.

hi ,

I am trying to install buddypress on Blog http://logicsforyou.com. but its not showing any link for register and active pages …even its breaking other pages as well. please help

you need to fix it with no conflict jquery condition, if you don’t know it, than give me access to your site, i will do that. thanks.

That is basically the members page. Go to dashboard/settings/buddypress/pages beside “Members” click the dropdown and select the workstations page and click save. That will associate your members page with the workstations page you had previously created.

@bao_plansystem
Please be more specific. Is this a BuddyPress page or just a standard WordPress page that is missing content? Also give as much detail as you can about your install.

@whitewolf1988
Looks like your using a test server anyhow so go ahead and try BP 1.7 and if it resolves the issue then you can upgrade to BP 1.8 when the theme author has updated this theme to work with BP 1.8. Sorry if this is not a complete solution but that is the risk you take when purchasing themes that are overly complex and are not promptly update for current versions of WP and BP! Good luck!

@faramarz thanks for posting the error, see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-unable-to-create-forum-from-buddypress-group/#post-135487

EDIT – Trac Ticket at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2374

@junithorn Site url is good. I see that you’re still on BP 1.7.2 I’m seeing the old http://…/buddypress//bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js?ver=20110818&#8242; in source code of your site while you should be getting BP 1.7.2’s http://…/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js enqueued in your WordPress theme. Did you hardcode the link to global.js?

@mafaldam
Supply a link like karmatosed said. Did this happen automatically or after you made some changes? Supply as much info as you can about your install. Did you maybe accidentally hit
Ctrl and -(minus) if so it will make the page width shrink. If so hit Ctrl +(plus).

I am getting this as well since upgrading to the latest version of BP.

I see it when I go to Admin and then Extras:

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/….public_html/…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-groups-extras/core/loader.php on line 345

Any ideas of a fix. I have seen people on the BBPress forum also talking about this (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-unable-to-create-forum-from-buddypress-group/)
but I don’t think it is BBPress relate because I am not using this on my site.

Hi,
It would be really helpful if you are able to paste a link to your site. Unfortunately, a change in width could be due to a lot of different factors – hard to tell which without seeing. A screenshot may help if you can’t give a link, but a link would be better.

I think you can’t show the correct number, because you do the test about role of bbp_blocked in the loop, so the number of members is uknow before the loop, buddypress save the number of members before the loop in variable $total_member_count

check bp_core_get_total_member_count() function.

I think if you check how buddypress profil search work, you will find a solution for your problem.

Regards,

@whitewolf1988 per your theme’s page at marketplace, flix is compatible with BuddyPress 1.7.x, BuddyPress 1.6.1, BuddyPress 1.6. It probably needs to be upgraded for BP 1.8

hi,

you can hide it by adding this css code in the style.css of your current theme.

.widget.buddypress div.item-meta,
.widget div.item-meta
 {
   display:none !important;
}
