BuddyPress.org

@bp-help – I tested your plugin and for whatever reason on my site it prevented good registrations. I will isolate exactly why that is on my particular site.

@matt55 – I did some more research and built on your .htaccess code. A php error was occurring due to using Server Protocol so per jdMorgan “the htaccess Master” 😉 the better condition check is The Request.

Special thanks to jdMorgan a true htaccess Master

You could try @r-a-y ‘s solution for disabling BP registration and using WP’s instead.

@mahdiar didn’t know wordpress.com was blocked in your country. Found the page.php file for Complete Theme. Please confirm that the source code of your page.php file is the same as the one posted at http://pastebin.com/wnfS1Gky If so, I’m thinking that it’s more likely a plugin conflict – e.g. “javascript to footer” plugin and/or the gallery plugin which might be using an older version of jquery, etc.

Before looking around for other themes, change to Twenty Twelve, a responsive theme which has been tested quite thoroughly with BuddyPress 1.7+. If BuddyPress doesn’t work on Twenty Twelve in your installation, then I doubt BP will work on other WP themes in you server.

Are all styles overloading or just some? If just some it could be forcing styles through.
Are you also using BuddyPress 1.7.2 (or 1.7.x)?

However, if it’s all then can you check if the theme has this line in it:

add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );

If no, then can you try with another theme just to see if it’s Avenue that’s being grumpy? Maybe something like the default WordPress Twenty-Twelve would be a nice test theme.

Hi, unfortunately as each theme is different could you either provide a link or a screenshot (going to be less useful than link) along with what theme you are using?

Menus can be styled but it all depends on what you have to start off what recommendation is made.

Forums will be active after installing bbpress
Did you install buddypress pluging and bbpress plugin ?

Because they are different

@applegateian
I tested it and it works as it should so maybe you need to give more info about your setup because something else is interfering with this function. It could be a plugin as well. Also, have you followed the procedures here in regards to theme compatibility:

@ljmac
This thread was out prior to the plugins release but now I actually find BuddyPress Activity Privacy plugin by @megainfo a more flexible option because it give users a choice as to who see’s their activity. Check it out:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/

You’re welcome. Thanks for reporting back.

? what mode are you running BP in please – devil is in the detail we need detail on forum posts to be able to help.

The BP placeholder pages are meant to be empty, 1.7 theme compatibility uses page.php as it’s template wrapper, if you want to customize the BP aspects you can overload page.php with buddypress.php either in root theme or in dir under it named ‘buddypress’ or ‘community’ Check the codex for a fuller explanation.

@dnbrawler Re: unable to see an options to attribute my Forums Page with the Buddypress Forums.
I was thinking of the old groups forums re BP Pages, disregard this, my bad.

The 3rd point you prescribed is what my settings are right now and what is causing the “redirecting” load problem.

Based on your original post above, you have /forum/ not /forums/ as your Archive Slugs->Forums base. What’s in your Settings > Forums > Single Slugs -> ___? If it’s the default /forum/ then there could be a conflict.

@andy_blanc

Using firebug on the page you refer to, I can see various errors in the console tab.

Using the html tab you appear to be trying to load different versions of jquery, but not the current version ( 1.8.3 ) which is included with wordpress….

Your site is trying to load /themes/foliogrid-pro/codaslider/js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js and jquery 1.6.1 from google.

See for yourself using the developer tools in Chrome, Safari or Internet Explorer, or use Firebug with Firefox, or Opera’s Dragonfly…

I think these issues need to be sorted out for things to work.

To disable bp responsive css see: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3881#comment:2

@andy_blanc can’t open the link you gave above.
I don’t see how BuddyPress templates can be conflicting with the responsive home layout when BP uses the regular Page template though.

you should be fine, there are a few differences in the way things work, namely network user registration as opposed to single site registration (users are not automatically added to the root site), making sure your plugins are multisite ready/compatible. All in all you should not have any difficulty unless your mods are things that are relating to network functions (not very likely i don’t think). Do be prepared for the spammers and sploggers to step up their game i implemented wangguard at the same time i switched our site from single to multi.
