BuddyPress.org

@briffel there are no groups on that page.

Thanks @mercime, @giannisff, @henrywright-1, @valuser, @bphelp & @charise 4 your feedbacks 🙂

To solve this I decided to hijack a page. If the member is logged in, they get their profile, otherwise, they go to a signup page.

Just pop the following code into your functions.php file… and create a page named ‘profile’. Now you can add that page to your WP menu and it should do what you need.

 function redirect2profile(){
	include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );
	if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/profile/' && is_plugin_active('buddypress/bp-loader.php') && is_user_logged_in()){
		global $current_user;
		wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('url') . '/members/'. $current_user->user_login . '/profile/'); 
		exit();
	}
 }
add_action('init', 'redirect2profile');

@knromaine This isn’t really a question regarding BuddyPress, this ‘page’ isn’t a buddypress’ page it’s a WP page which is using the WP reading settings to set it as the page to use for your index or frontpage, this will have the effect of removing the default view WP provides of the primary posts loop display from your frontpage (so a further page is required that says where wp shows blog post loops) and also removes or changes the buddypress default frontpage view of showing the Activity stream. What is intended to be shown on this new page we can’t say that is dependent on what your theme provides and as such it’s to the theme authors that you ought to address further questions on this aspect of your site.

@ggsalas to prevent confusion, go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings -> Activity Settings and make sure that “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” is unchecked. That way, if someone wants to read/comment, they either go to the forum topic or the blog post page.

Now after moving I am getting 404 errors, but more importantly, my paths are being shown as “weburl.weburl/members/” instead of “weburl/members/”. I simply did the find and replace on all the database before I moved it over to the server.

@steve_macneil something obviously went awry with your migration from dev to production site. Backup your dev database first and try this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/duplicator/ required PHP 5.3 or higher

The particular plugin that was causing issues (for me) on the iPad has been updated and the iPad issue has, as far as i am concerned,been completely resolved.

Yes exactly as per the guide! 🙂 try it and see is best approach.

hi,
just to make sure because i also want to little tweak of my buddypress

1. i need to make a folder /buddypress/ inside my theme folder.
2. copying all files inside /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress into folder in step 1.
3. if i need to tweak buddypress css then i need to copy buddypress.css into my theme’s css folder (create folder if not any)
4. is that right ?

i’m proud to announce that a new version of bp-fr.net

Bravo @chouf1 @imath and @mechanographik !

Fee,

Can’t access it that way either. I’m pretty ignorant as far as hosting/servers are concerned, but could that be the problem? The IT guys for the company I work at put up this test site on our server and I’ve noticed that the error I get from your method (appending /create/ to the URL) is the same that I get when I try to access any of the links in the upper right-hand corner menu from the site itself (where it says “Howdy, Andy!”) – Activity, Groups, Settings, etc. I immediately get an HTTP 404 Error “The page cannot be found.” Additionally, I noticed there is no fourth “Forums” tab in my Settings –> BP menu.

My IT guys keep telling me that I need to run some “more trials” before they’ll get involved, but I can’t really do much while I can’t even figure out how to create a group!!

Can you give me some ammo here? Do I need to push these IT guys around to get an IP address set up or something? I really just need to start studying here, don’t I? 😛 I have no idea what I’m doing here so any advice would be great. And like Ron, I definitely won’t forget to return the favor someday. 🙂

This isn’t really a BP issue, wp_nav_menu works fine you have to look at your rulesets to see what changed from one point to the next and adjust styling, quite why you experienced the change I’m not sure but essentially bp has little do with the custom wp menus other than you adding say a top level link for bp dir pages. As always in respect of mention of plugins disble them to troubleshoot, in this instance a plugin to manage drop down rules seems unnecessary, write the rules directly for the nav menus.
