BuddyPress.org

Hi Shanebp,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

The programer that helped me to setup the theme with buddypress/bbpress and userpro, from the Theme Dutch, told me that they use userpro’s register, hence, the ‘register’ and the ‘activate’ pages are not associated with the buddypress.

When I land http://www.enihongo.net/register/, it would jump to http://www.enihongo.net/profile/register (for userpro) now.
There is no ‘activate’ page now.

Thanks,
I checked my cPanel and I can clearly see that WP is in the public_html.

Click into the wordpress folder, rename wp-config-sample.com to wp-config.com
What is the purpose of this action??

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

So I suppose I don’t need to change my database information…?

Is that mean that I can use BuddyPress now?

Sorry I didn’t want to be rude, there is so many scams online so I wasn’t sure.

Thank you for your links. I’m studding it now.

In required section I found this information:

WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts (fantastico, softalicious, etc.)which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated.

I use zyma.com for hosting my website. I downloaded WP in my cpanel, but when I click on WP (in my cpanel) it redirect me to…softalicious.
Is that mean that I cannot use BuddyPress correctly?

In case anyone has this problem, here’s how I fixed it (I’m still not sure why it wouldn’t work as intended automatically):

– I registered the sidebar in fucntions.php

– Added a copy of page.php to the child theme directory: /wp-content/themes/wellness/buddypress/members/single using the name: index.php

– Where the code in that page calls the Sidebar, I changed it to: <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'new_members_area' ); ?> which of course includes the registered name of the sidebar

– For some reason it wasn’t picking up the Sidebar CSS so I enclosed it in a div:

<div id="sidebar">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'new_members_area' ); ?>
</div>

-VOILA!

Hi @minglonaire,

The forum part is easy because that is built into bbPress in the first place. If you read the “Getting Started with bbPress” page https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/ you will note that there are three settings for forum visibility:

Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

I made my base forum (which is actually a category) Private, and the majority of sub-forums Public – but tied into the BuddyPress groups so you required membership to each particular group to access each of the forums. This only works if BuddyPress is hidden from logged out users.

If you don’t want to use BuddyPress groups… just make all your forums Private.

Note that BuddyPress defines Public, Private and Hidden slightly differently than bbPress

I had issues with my theme not displaying Hidden Groups to the people it should… If this is an issue for you, check out another thread… https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hidden-groups-and-forums-not-showing-for-members-of-them/

All the best! 🙂
