BuddyPress.org

Alright, I figured out what was braking the theme! Because I was turning off the friends feature since I’m going use BuddyPress Follow , one of the components in the header that called for pending friends request must have some how messed up things. Which when you think about it makes sense, since the header was the only thing that was working.

Many thanks for the help anyway @bphelp and @meg@info!

@mercime Hi and thanks for your help. I have BP 1.7.3 running but the same issue still. Should I try BP 1.7? Was there that many changes between BP 1.7 and BP 1.7.3 that would cause this issue? Obviously I would prefer using BP 1.8 but if this theme isn’t updated for it then I am prepared to downgrade the BP version to make it compatible. This theme is very complex and I really do not want to mess with its inner workings. I was disappointed to find out you can not even make a child theme for it because of its complexity. Thank you again and I will wait for your advice.

@mercime.. I am still getting the same error even after changing my URL and my subdomain. When I check my error_log file, I get this error:

[28-Jul-2013 22:51:11] PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461

I’ll post this question in BBpress forum as well. I thought maybe you’ve experienced the same issue before.

This is on bbpress 2.3.2 and buddypress 1.8 and I followed every step of instructions on this page to create a sitewide forum and forum for buddypress groups:

Thanks

I’ve now discovered the issue, which could be considered a BuddyPress bug. My left sidebar is loaded before the page content and if the sidebar contains BuddyPress widgets the buttons do not appear. If I remove the BuddyPress widgets or move them to the right sidebar which is loaded after the page content the buttons display.

@mercime Like I said in my original post, “Enable group creation for all users” is enabled in buddypress settings. Non-admins still cannot create groups for some reason, they are redirected to the front page.

Hi and thanks for your reply. My themes js folder contains six js files. Is this what you mean? In that folder I have buddypress.js, jquery.greyscale.js, jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js, jquery.timeout.min.js, jquery.uniform.min.js, and onefile.js so am I supposed to replace one of these or am I totally off track? I am really not sure what to do but any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I had one more quick question. Is there a huge downside to using the template pack? I keep seeing people say to not use it because it is already basically built into BuddyPress but what other reasons are there? Has the plugin been totally removed from the WordPress repository?

I am using the Sahifa theme from themeforest. http://themeforest.net/item/sahifa-responsive-wordpress-newsmagazineblog/2819356

I do see the css and js in the source.

<link rel='stylesheet' id='bp-parent-css-css'  href='http://devlodge.dev/wp-content/themes/sahifa/buddypress/css/buddypress.css?ver=1.8' type='text/css' media='screen' />
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://devlodge.dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js?ver=1.8'></script>

Yes, Twenty Twelve works like it is suppose to. I am at a loss why this isn’t working. The theme developer says it isn’t made for BuddyPress so it is hard to get support from them. Unless I know what specific needs to be changed I might be able to go back to them and ask them to check it out.

I think the problem I’m having is related to Ajax. It looks (to my newbie eyes) like the buddypress ajax request is not working for some reason.

In Firebug I see this on the site that has the problem:

ajaxurl
	"https://conflictcomms.org/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"
	
bp_ajax_request
	null

But on my other site where it appears to work correctly I see this:

ajaxurl
	"http://olihaslam.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"
	
bp_ajax_request
	Object { readyState=4, responseText="\n\n\n <div id="pag-top" c... \n </div>\n\n </div>\n\n\n", status=200, more...}

I don’t know where to start with Ajax issues. Suggestions on where I should start learning more about this would be very kind.

Newbie questions:
Is Ajax be affected by my site being on https and not yet having ssl certificate set up?
Could Ajax be interrupted by s2member?

I’d be grateful of any pointers or advice.

Thanks

I added [bbp-forum-index] to a /test/ page. That worked.

Given the instructions on (https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/), I did the following:

#3 -If you kept the default “forums” slug in Settings > Forums, you can create a new Page via Pages > Add New. Add Title “Forums” and insert the forums index shortcode and/or other bbPress shortcode you’ll find in the bbPress Codex then publish the new page.

But somethings broken.

Thanks,

Mike

I already have the following in my custom BP functions file:

if(bp_is_active('friends'))
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_add_friend_button');

	if(bp_is_active('activity') && bp_activity_do_mentions())
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_send_public_message_button');

	if(bp_is_active('messages'))
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_send_private_message_button');

	// Group Buttons
	
	if(bp_is_active('groups')) {
		add_action('bp_group_header_actions', 'bp_group_join_button');
		add_action('bp_group_header_actions', 'bp_group_new_topic_button');
		add_action('bp_directory_groups_actions', 'bp_group_join_button');
	}

As I say these buttons displayed in the theme in v1.7.3, they only disappear in v1.8. I think you’re right of course, it looks like a theme issue, I just cannot figure out what changed in v1.8 to stop these buttons working in my theme.

I solved the registration issue. It was just a widget and I didn’t know that 😛

anyways just one simple issue is left which is when I try to comment on any activity in a member’s profile the page directly refreshes and I can’t comment

and I have already asked that question here but there is no answer so if you can help me here or there https://buddypress.org/support/topic/the-page-refreshes-when-i-comment-help/

BTW, it’s not a bump but just saying that I have solved the registration issue and sharing my other problem here at the same time

Thanks Aces. Sorry I didn’t mention, but I actually found this previously and it didn’t seem to work.

Any reason why that would be?

I have a will…. where’s the way? 🙂
