Hi,

Yeah i see those files thanks! i was just asking whether there was any nice style i could just apply to it rather than downloading a full theme!

Thanks in advance!

@mercime lol ..I forgot to mention my theme didn’t have a page.php file!, ha! ..so when I dropped one in there, poof! there was my reg/act pages..Made my day! lol, and yes, my other pages seemed fine..just lucky grappling around if ya ask me, lol.

The theme is as basic as they come so I could build from the ground up, but your right!, if it would have been a purchased theme from RocketTheme [with most assuredly a page.php file] it would have blown my site to bits! lol!

As to forum assistance – I totally understand and deeply appreciate you all with all my heart, you wonderful people have brought open source to the table and I love you all! My entire site is WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress and is only possible because of you all.

I apologize if my remark sounded offensive, I certainly didn’t mean for it to.

I am having other issues with BuddyPress but I’ll tackle those one Topic at a time now that I’m get’n familiar with the many Forums BuddyPress.org has.

Most people probably do have Themes with page.php files so I WAS fortunate in this case and it probably is an unusual case.

I’m more of an artist than a code junky but it has become necessary for me to familiarize myself with it to deal with a perpetual shoestring budget. I do hope to not be too much of a pest around here.

Again, thanks so much for being here. 🙂

/*** RECENTLY ACTIVE WIDGET *****************/

			<div class="avatar-block">
				<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

			</div>
		<?php else: ?>

			<div class="widget-error">
				<?php _e( 'There are no recently active members', 'buddypress' ) ?>
			</div>

		<?php endif; ?>

Can I change from Member Id to group ID around here please?

ok i find an open ticket : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3794

Thank you. I appreciate the help. What’s the best way to identify the template it’s using? Just go through the hierarchy of template files that Buddypress uses for a single group? 🙂 Eric

By copying [page.php] from this directory;

/christianitees/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/page.php

to this directory;

/christianitees/wp-content/themes/rt_gantry_wp/page.php

my Registration and Activation Pages immediately appeared…wahoooo!

Guess I’d call this RESOLVED!

The repeatedly referred to [https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/template-hierarchy/#base-templates] clued me what to do.

Hope this helps someone cause I didn’t get a response from the forum.

That’s what I read – but the way my site is built it uses a lot of partially-customised plugins which all need to interact with each other in non-standard ways, so I don’t want to upgrade them without testing them all together first; I’ll stick with 1.7 for the moment. Thanks again.

Okay, at least I found out roughly whats happening: The buddypress legacy group forums (which I have since I started a community originally with buddypress 1.6x) is working fine in 1.8. However, newly created legacy group forums in 1.8 do give above error notice and the forums do not work at all.

Was this mentioned somewhere in the update notes? If not, it should be, because it created quite some trouble.

Even worse then is what I described above, that I can’t simply switch and convert to the new bbpress 2.3 group forums, since then all attachments are lost to normal user interface (and since we have several hundred documents attached, manually reassigning them somehow is not an option).

For now, I had to switch back to buddypress 1.7.3 where newly created groups have functioning forums and the attachments using U Forum Buddypress Attachments plugin are included.

I had a rough look at the sql database and can’t imagine an easy quick way to migrate attachments from U Forum Buddypress Attachments plugin to e.g. GD bppress attachments, which would work with bbpress 2.3 group forums.

Does anyone have a clue whether and how that would be possible in an automated way? Otherwise I can’t update buddypress without losing functionality of either creating new groups with working forums or losing all previous attachments in posts!

Got it – doesn’t look like it’s doable in 1.7xx, as according to the codex BP can only use one template for all BP pages. When I upgrade I’ll have another look. Thanks, Hugo!
