@bobsgt,

if you use a network install, no matter as subdomain or sub directory, it’s preferably to install BP on the main blog.

On a standard MS, this means that WP is at the server root (ie. /xxx/xxx/htdocs/www/wp-content/)and BP installed as plugin in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ and network activated.

Don’t install BP on each blog nore on the main blog and a network blog…. Installing BP on one of the sub blog, not the main blog, will be complex and very complicated in some case to manage with permalinks and redirections, except if you know what you’re doing, and specially if you use sub domain blogs.

@mercime thanks, makes everything a lot more simple by disabling the discussion component on buddypress. I also had a bug when activating ONLY the group forums with buddypress, for some reason it broke the group avatar uploader however this was fixed when I installed the site wide forums as well.

one issue resolved, one still open.

Now seems to be working on the parent site. Had to add Search page and another page..seems to have cleared the issue.

Still no evidence of a buddypress plug in on the subsite

Tried to install BB 1.7 rev. 6885 trunk
This is a multisite installtion where wordpress is installed in a subdirectory named editions.

Was able to network install, network activate and configure. Once completed, I went to the admin panel and tried to list all of my pages. The following warnings appeared at the top of the panel. The same error occurs when I try to list all posts. This occurs in the parent site.

I have plugin activation allowed by sites but there is no evidence of buddy press in the subsite plugin list. The warnings are:

@ethane,

can be done in buddypress/themes/bp-default/sidebar.php
Make a copy of this file into your child theme.

Add between line 17 & 18
<?php  if ( is_user_logged_in() ):  ?>

<div>your stuff here</div>

<?php endif; ?>

sorry for the trouble,buddypress is working fine.
ronsmithmd when you hover on dashboard tab,you can see buddypress tab…click it…then press save and next until it moves to finish tab.

ok i’m sorry for some reason i thought you had some other forum plugin already sorry for any confusion.

You must do some changes to your style.css file, also to your header.php file.
Change to your style.css (keep a backup anyway) I note only the changes…

body {
max-width:100%;
width:100%;
}
div# container {
width:1150px;
margin:0 auto;
}
/*————————————————————–
ADD THIS
————————————————————–*/
#header-in {
width:1150px;
margin:0 auto;
}

Now open your header.php file.
after the head>
make this


<div id="header-in" onclick="location.href='http://www.yourdomain.com/';" style="cursor: pointer;">




To change the navigation align go to style.css and change this
#navigation {
position: relative;
text-align: left;
}

This way it works for me. I am not sure that is the best way. Just try it.

Also important to bear in mind that as of 1.7 the old BP bbPress integration to groups of a basic striped down forum offering is removed and ALL forum capabilities are handled by bbPress standalone plugin which offers a far better forum experience from the point of view of BP groups, so please take a moment to read through the codex on this subject to familiarise yourself with how forums work with BP.

@notpoppy,

remeber that you can install group forums AND a separate forum.

@core12ministries,

have you activated the xprofile component in the BP settings ?

Dashobard > Settings > BuddyPress > Components Tab

@b1gft,

the silly answer would be: make them public !

Private is private. Even group discussions.

A tech answer probably sit here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2576
And at least, the codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/group-settings-and-roles/

@habicht;

the answer is in your question i guess.

I currently have the Avada Theme for the demo site. But, they would like Buddypress

If they want BP, install BP 1.7 and done.

BP 1.7 will integrate any WP theme (so far as they are correctly coded accordingly to WP rules of course)

You already  experimented with ThemeForest. (no comment)  Try another theme publisher.

If you need several button drived admin possibilities, aka automated templating, you have to search yourself. Because there are thousands of BP themes. Ands by this, thousands of opinions.

As site creator you should around this easely.

Sorry see if you have this one.

@notpoppy,

the answer is YES.

bbPress is a forum plugin that can be used separetly from buddypress. If you need extra features, bbPess has also some plugins.

Learn more about this plugin here: https://bbpress.org/

See if you have the following file

yoursite.com/members/member name/profile/edit/”>EditEdit< is the name that is written on the tab.
member is a members name

@mattg123 yes -> https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
