Hi @timothylegg
But when I follow the path of Settings -> BuddyPress and then click the Pages tab, I get a page where I associate a WordPress page with each BuddyPress component directory. When I click on ‘View’ for either of the ‘Members’, ‘Activity’, or ‘Groups’, I get a 404 page.
Check if the members, activity and groups pages are actually created by going to your admin area and then clicking on Pages
I have a freshly installed WordPress/BuddyPress with no content added.
Wordpress is 4.1 (latest.tar.gz downloaded on Jan 8, 2014)
BuddyPress is whatever version it installs when I installed the plugin about 10 minutes afterwards.
At first it seems to be installed, even though there is very little apparent change in the outward appearance of the default website.
But when I follow the path of Settings -> BuddyPress and then click the Pages tab, I get a page where I associate a WordPress page with each BuddyPress component directory. When I click on ‘View’ for either of the ‘Members’, ‘Activity’, or ‘Groups’, I get a 404 page. Apparently the paths of /members, /groups, or /activity were not included.
Similar problems happen, for example, if I were to try to create a group.
I’ve noticed that this has been going on for several years. I’ve found postings regarding this going on 5 years back, but those are older versions in which required different steps to resolve that are no longer reproducible. I find it surprising that I’ve found so little on this given that I’ve done practically nothing to customize the installation.
i am not a programmer but i would think coding a simple favorite button into the page template wouldn’t be too tall an ask or require editing core. i also think if it was using the buddypress favoriting it would just be a stop gap until the feature is included in core compatibility wouldn’t be an issue as you you could just remove the extra code but hey what do i know anyway?
😛
If you need something done immediately then feel free to check out the BP Jobs Forum where you can hire the skills of a developer. Alternatively, BuddyPress has lots of great stuff in the pipeline (coded by volunteer developers) so if you wait for it you’ll get all that for free.
Hopefully this info helps you.
well it sounds like applying the patch is not a matter of skill at this point. this is an open source project, one which is just about to release a major revision so to expect this feature to see the light of day “immediately” is not realistic. the best thing you can do if you don’t want to give up on buddypress is to hire a developer to add the functionality into your theme or via a plugin.
I am a newbie. So, this question.
I have identified that file and that line. So, editing the template file should not be a problem.
But, how do I copy the template over to my theme? I looked at the BP Codex but could not get any hint.
Could you please give a link to the specific codex area I should look at?
Here is an update. Got the BP Codex link after looking around a bit.
For reference, this is the link: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
All I did was create a buddypress/activity folder in the theme I was using, copied the post-form.php over to that folder and edited it to meet my needs.
Thanks!
Okay I found this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5610
This is really a critically ill-experience for the end-users BUT the milestones are being delayed from 2 to 2.1, then to 2.2 and then to 2.3
Looks like BP has to be abandoned if this is not provided immediately in the form of a “hack” or plugin. I am unable to execute the patch provided there.
Hi,
I was trying to remove some steps during group creation. Googleing I’ve found this function (thanks to @robertosalemi)
function remove_group_creation_steps() {
global $bp;
unset( $bp->groups->group_creation_steps['group-settings'] );
unset( $bp->groups->group_creation_steps['group-avatar'] );
unset( $bp->groups->group_creation_steps['group-invites'] );
}
add_action( 'bp_before_create_group_content_template', 'remove_group_creation_steps', 9999 );
but it does not work, as it is referred to the old code of BP (1.8) and I’m using the 2.1.1 version, as explained by @danbp who suggested to look at function groups_action_create_group() in bp-group/bp-groups-action.php.
But I have not found any code to replace the old one.
Is there somebody who solved this problem? Please, help as I’m in deep trouble!
Thanks
Bruno
Go to wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings
Find:
Registration
Associate WordPress Pages with the following BuddyPress Registration pages.
Now create a New Page and save it with the name – register
and then choose it from the drop-down and save settings.
Hi
I have read the other topics and tried what they have suggested, but to no avail.
I have created a BuddyPress site and tried three different BP themes (just in case that was the issue). The pages themselves i.e. Register and Activate do show up, as does the top WP bar for logging in and registering, but when I click Register the following message is displayed
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
I have gone into settings > general > and ticked ‘Anyone can register’ which I believe should enable the registration process, I may be wrong, but to no avail.
Also, how do you get the registration page to display a registration form?
Thanks in Advance.
It will be great to know what success fellow BP users have had or what tweaks or what free-paid combo they are using to active this? Social Net is much about photos and Likes these days though there can be argument this is not the use-case for all.
I have looked at rtcamp’s theme-and-Media solution as well as Buddyboss’s theme-and-media solution, and have arrived at the following questions:
- How does the interface look like when one submits a blog – is he thrown out of the theme?
- How does the theme behaves in WP Multisite set up and/or with a standard 3rd party plugin eg buddypress-activity-privacy.1.3.3?
- Can I “Like” a blog or photo from the post page itself as well as the activity stream?
-
Does the User Profile others’ view shows the Likes also ? [ for example, Demo of buddyboss shows only Wall tab, no Likes tab ]
- Can users have mutiple Albums, multiple upload at the same time and on-photo tagging? Can they “Like” a photo in the photo page itself?
- Can the admin determine how many thumbnails to show when there are multiple photo uploads at the same time and can the admin restrict such number?
- Media – is it integrated to WP media ?
rtcamp’s theme-and-Media solution is probably $200 + altogether but does not solve above problems, buddyboss theme-wall-media is probably $120+ but very incomplete Media and Like solutions. The free Media plugins rtcamp does not provide “Like” (it has Likes separate from BP favorit and is confusing), modemloopers Buddypics has no albums and buddyboss media is very incomplete imho – none of the paid or free are integrated into WP media. Please correct me.
PS : Has rtcamp and buddyboss guys abandoned this forum?
Running WordPress 4.1. Buddypress 2.1.1.
In the Site-Wide Activity screen, there is a selector ‘Post in’ where one can select ‘My Profile’ or one of the groups to which one is a member.
Is there a way to get the same box in /activity/personal screen?
it would be wonderful, if the WPMUDEV team were to come out with its long awaited theme.
currently, i own “Terso Theme” and WPLMS.
you can buy premium wordpress themes that just plain break BuddyPress, so it is necessary to try things out.
i also run a BuddyPress site with the 2012 theme. i don’t know why, but the activity stream is actually nicely styled and works properly, whereas other themes simply turned the activity stream into an ugly mess.
one criteria for the theme is that certain key functionality has to work in a way that makes sense to users.
Hi,
I am very new to Buddypress and despite looking at a bunch of forums I cannot find out how to force users to login before they see the site?
Thanks.
Ok thanks. So I probably have problems to unterstand your answer before. The state of play is:
In .pot-file there is: Notifications <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
In .po-file buddypress-de_DE.po there is: Notifications <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
In .po-file buddypress-de_DE.po there is the translation: Benachrichtigungen <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
That should working I think. But it do not.
brought this up in the buddypress devchat today and will bring it up again when the 2.3 discussion starts 🙂 it does seem like this idea has been brought up in the past and it seems like there is some agreement that an improvement in this department would be worth looking into at least.
Hi there, I am using wordpress 4.1 and buddypress 2.1.1
I would like to add the “status update” bar that appears at the top of the activity stream to my home page so that users are encouraged to immediately contribute content upon arrival to the site. Is there a way to insert the code to my static home page?
I am familiar but not knowledgeable with php or javascript, so if the solution involves hand coding, please be very specific – as if you were explaining to a 5 year old.
Any clues are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Monica
The pot file doesn’t contain the translation, only the strings you can translate.
The translation is done in po (not pot) file and compiled to a mo file. buddypress-de_DE.mo is the file you have to use.
there has been some discussion of media handling in core I’m not sure the exact status of it but you may want to show up for a dev chat to lobby for your request(s) theres one later today in fact:

@florangelie,
It’s possible to hide the toolbar for logged out users:
Settings>buddypress>[Settings Tab]
Uncheck “Show the Toolbar for logged out users”
@danbp: Thanks for your help. But it’s still not working. What I have done:
(1) Downloaded newest version of buddypress (2.1.1).
(2) Replaced my current buddypress.pot on webserver with the newest version (buddypress/buddypress.pot).
(3) Open the file with poedit.
(4) Looked for Notifications <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
(5) Added the translation Benachrichtigung <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
(6) Upload the buddypress.pot again.
Is there any mistake in my way to fix that problem? I’m using a child theme if this is important to you.
Thank you for helping me!
The Toolbar belongs to WordPress. See WP Codex for how you can rearrange this.
So far i see, your register button is correctly linked to BuddyPress register page.
As you can see in the BP source (2.1),
$nav_name = sprintf( _x( 'Notifications <span class="%s">%s</span>', 'Profile screen nav', 'buddypress' ), esc_attr( $class ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );
This string in po. is outdated: Notifications <span class=\”count\”>%s</span>
You have to open your actual po file with poEdit (or similar translation tool) and update it with the pot file comming with latest BP version. (/buddypress/buddypress.pot)
Once updated the string to translate will be:
Notifications <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
who should be translated to:
Benachrichtigung <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
Be aware that poEdit uses different colors to indicate you the translated strings, the untranslated strings AND the fuzzy strings wich are approximative translation. These fuzzy strings must be double checked and validated or modified to work.
Example: difficult to see sometimes the subtle difference between “%s” and “count” when reading too fast ! 😉
Hello, I have trouble removing or hiding the wordpress log in on the every page, I want to get rid of this because it is not necessary for the website, I need new registration will be directed to the register page of buddypress.
