BuddyPress.org

Hi John,

You ever figure out a solution for this? I’ve run into the exact same issue? The only solution i can see at the moment is to install a third party plugin – http://bp-tricks.com/featured/buddypress-shortcodes-plugin/ – but thats over 2 years old now?

Thanks for any advice!

Even after you install bbpress you will still need to configure it depending on if you plan on using group forums, sitewide forums, or both. Use this link which I had provided previously to get an idea of setting them up:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
After you get it set up you may still want to add the forums link to your navigation. The link has already been provided above. Please ready this material, it explains it much more clearly!

Something is getting lost in the translation here. I know there is a BuddyPress plugin hence we are in the BuddyPress support forums but you keep mentioning a “BuddyPress Forum Plugin.” If you want forums then you will need to install bbpress and use the links I supplied. You can get bbpress here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/
BuddyPress just adds the social networking side of things like activity stream, members directories, extended profiles, adding friends, private messaging etc. If you need to have a forum you will need bbpress. Please do not take this offensively but you need to have a clear understanding of what BuddyPress is and what bbpress is because as stated before as of BuuddyPress 1.7 you will need to install bbpress which is a seperate plugin if forums is a requirement for your project. Have a look in the codex documentation to get a better understanding. Do a google search for BuddyPress and another for bbpress.

but i need to change permalink. i need to remove buddyblog and change in to posts.

@bphelp Yeah, I tested it before commenting… Two pages is very little… My recommendation is to change it to get private only buddypress related pages, like the Private Buddypress plugin does.

Either way, your plugin has great potential. Great work! =)

The link I supplied above explains the creation of the page. You may also want to add that page to a custom menu:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/
As far as I know there is no plugin named BuddyPress Forum Plugin. As stated above I am assuming your referring to bbpress so use the links I have supplied and it should help you out.

@maan18 see how it’s done in this plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddyblog-allow-users-to-blog-from-their-buddypress-profile/

Please post support questions for any of the plugins above at respective plugin’s forums.

@miciz WP/BP versions? Plugins used? Have you tried deactivating plugins except BuddyPress to check which is causing conflict?

was wondering if I could change the css or html of the theme or of buddypress to stop it duplicating

@alexharvey52 always better to create a new topic for your own. WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Where is duplicate content showing up? In all BP pages or in one component only? Have you done basic troubleshooting like changing to Twenty Twelve theme? Or deactivating plugins batch by batch except BuddyPress to check what is causing issue in your installation?

Whenever I make a topic in any given forum, it appears in every single forum

@fptcom WP, BP and bbPress versions? Have never seen the issue you posted above. Basic troubleshooting, change to twenty twelve theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress.

@brikou Group RSS with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/external-group-blogs/

Btw, please upload your BP-compatible or BP child theme in wp-content/themes/ and not in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ Good that the latter way works for now, but that’s not the best practice.

@marathifacebook please post once only for the same topic and please be civil in our forums. bphelp was just trying to help you. Closing this duplicate of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/gmail-contacts-importer/

@alexharvey52 I’ve seen the misalignments when theme authors use proprietary templating systems. One solution would be to open up your theme’s page.php file and Save As > buddypress.php then ask theme author to replace theme’s template tags to use the_title() and the_content(). Then upload that revised buddypress.php file to your theme folder in server.

@somosguatemala you’d need a SimplePress-BuddyPress integration plugin per http://simple-press.com/buddypress-integration-plugin/

@mcrib there’s no plugin in the market which does that at this time as far as I know. You’d need to create a plugin based on a specific media/gallery plugin compatible with BuddyPress.

@dran2013 BP/WP versions? Have you done basic troubleshooting like changing to Twenty Twelve theme and deactivating all BP plugins except BuddyPress?

I am assuming you are talking about bbpress forums since BuddyPress no longer comes packaged with bbpress as of BP 1.7 This should help explain how to set it up.
