BuddyPress.org

Don’t you have another option below:

Alternatively have you tried resetting ( > Tools > Forums )…

@ibrahim-ismail
If your logged in you would be redirected to the home page. Its default behavior. Try logging out then typing the url. Search on here for similar threads because this has been covered many times over and you should find the solution in those threads.

I had similar problems with my theme and buddypress, but you can use CSS to tweak the profile screen elements into place…

@craigheyworth
I was actually just responding about it being dangerous. I simply meant if someone tells you it is dangerous they should at least say why, after all you was only going to use it to add links.

any registered if logged in, can’t see activity streams

@rajeev-jain very strange. As mentioned above, backup database. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and change to Twenty Twelve theme. Clear cache. Check if you can view Activity Streams now. If ues, then activate the Magazine theme and check Activity Stream. If all is go, activate plugins batch by batch and double-check Activity Streams to help you identify what is causing the visibility issue when logged in.

I ran it in twenty twelve and twenty eleven as well as my gameday theme and it didnt work on any not to mention i had to make the “register” page under the parent of the “community” page just to have it on my gameday theme. When i switched to the buddypress theme it worked just fine (dint check/change the parent part) I just tried to use it by deactivating all my plugins (except for buddy press) and still does not work. I also contacted the company i purchased the theme from and they directed me to other gameday websites with buddy press and they seem to work fine with it. I am truly lost on this. (EDIT): Well this is strange, i just tried it on all 4 themes while changing the register page from “parent page=groups” to “no parent” and it doesnt work now even on buddypress default theme. I get a blank register page on all of them.

Good idea.

You should submit an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
And if you can submit a patch with the ticket… even better.

Probably not the right way to fix it, but this worked with the 1.7 update, and it works now:

I guess that is good info if you knew in the first place how to create your own widgets and I am assuming you wouldn’t otherwise you wouldn’t have asked for help. Also if one does not elaborate why it is not safe, I personally would like to here the explanation as to why myself. You just wanted to create some dynamic links correct? Its not like your giving them a form to execute malicious php code in. Saying it is not safe given the circumstances of the specific use is not really valid in my opinion without a clear explanation.

@rajeev-jain So to be clear, you cannot see you Activity Stream pages when you’re logged in? I can see it fine. You should be able to deactivate the BP plugins except BuddyPress and social login plugin without any issues. Back up database first if you’re unsure so you can revert to old database if there’s any problem.

To avoid stressful upgrades or plugin surprises (!), recommend that you set up a development site which mirrors your production environment so you have an area to test themes, plugins and upgrading before you actually upgrade your production site or install a new plugin/theme.

@doollard just to be clear, BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin, and so BP uses the same database as your WP installation. Therefore:
– You can install BP in your first WP installation where you used DB prefix wp11_
– You can also install BP in your second WP installation where you used prefix bp77_

Now if you mean that you want to run one WP/BP installation using two databases, that would be in the world of DB experts/developers. If you’re going to take this on yourself, look at:
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/hyperdb/faq/

@faramarz We’re aware of that. Changes being made in the backend.
Thank you for your patience.

I would not do that. Not safe. You can create your own widgets.

@craigheyworth
You would have to enable php in widgets before you do anything. You can use this code in your themes functions.php to enable it:

add_filter('widget_text','execute_php',100);
function execute_php($html){
     if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){
          ob_start();
          eval("?".">".$html);
          $html=ob_get_contents();
          ob_end_clean();
     }
     return $html;
}

Then in a text widget you could add @modemloopers code above for examples.

I don’t want people to create groups, I want them to create projects.
So it’s not only the page title I have to change, it’s everything that is group related.
