BuddyPress.org

If I could go back in time and I was Andy Peatling BuddyPress would have less features. I would extend only the user capabilities of WordPress. Create better relational hooks. Allow developers to create anything and let the users of a site interact with this content. You can do this now and BuddyPress gives you status posting and relates activity and users using groups OOTB.

You can extend the activity through meta and the groups have an api to extend it as well. There are a few media plugins but in my opinion they should be using WordPress media capabilities by creating an API to extend the media capabilities to the front end and then let developers create on top of it. This will create more unique opportunities for site creators instead of being stuck with only one core solution.

No need to bump this topic when you’ve just started your own about a similar thing. There’s been no change.

any news on this subject i notice the same issue locally and i am using buddypress 1.7-beta1 plugin

@mikegarlick Haven’t seen that issue using BP Default theme even in BP 1.6.2. First thing, I suggest you upgrade to latest WP 3.5.1 and6 BP 1.6.4. If you prefer not to upgrade, though it begs the question as to why, download a copy of BP 1.6.2 and re-upload BuddyPress manually, i.e. via s/FTP (see download link near bottom of page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2 )

@p2ab Seems like you already deleted your BP test site. When you first set up and test BP, recommend using the BP Default theme and not activating any other plugin.

I have set this page for registration : http://www.inandaboutdubai.com/register But for some reason it bounces back to the home page.

@anshul_01 this is normal behavior if you try to go to the register page while you’re logged in. Log out first.

@vegaskev you’re getting 404 because BuddyPress is not activated in anshul’s site. Deleted BP pages in all probability

@asalvo1 I would re-upload BuddyPress plugin manually, i.e., via s/FTP

Perhaps you mean something like http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget/

@39images BP 1.7 uses your theme’s page.php to insert BP template parts automagically. You can either:
1. Change theme’s page.php to have one sidebar or
2. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-compatibility/

@vegaskev @ubernaut you both are certainly not marked as spammers or else you won’t be able to post in the forums at all 🙂 vegaskev, do edit your profile and change name to something other than your username

@daronna I assume that you’re on a Windows server thus trying to get pretty permalinks working as required by BuddyPress by appending /index.php. That method is not going to work with BuddyPress.

I suggest deactivating BuddyPress first. Then check out the other methods for pretty permalinks without /index.php on Windows server:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/iis7-web-config/

If you still have issues with pretty permalinks, do post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Only activate BuddyPress after the issue is resolved.

Also, the original topic sucked. I’ve changed it. It looked like spam, please don’t give us more work.

@jimchester Jim as there is very little detail to go on and as @mercime mentions the link is not valid the best thing to do is start confirming a few things by way of troubleshooting and feeding back information that can be useful.

First thing I would do is deactivate BuddyPress, & any plugins you have activated, revert back to your basic WP installation and establish if that works correctly, if it doesn’t then this may point to a general issue with the main installation and that is best looked into on the WP support forums, if it does work correctly then try reactivating BP –  but please only with the default BP theme no custom themes as they are often main culprits in problems – now see if things are any different, try and note as much detail about problems and report back on this thread.

Have you done some basic troubleshooting like deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and then checking if issue is resolved? what browser are you using?

@amanor check in Pages > All Pages if you have a page named Register. If none, then go to Pages > Add New and add the title e.g. “Join Us” (small anti-spam protection) and Publish.

Go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and select Join Us page for Register and Save settings.
Go to Appearance > Menus and add “Join Us” to custom menu.

@findly01 first, see note above about pasting long blocks of code.
The code for that specific theme’s functions.php is also available online at https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/frisco-for-buddypress/1.6.13/functions.php

For logged-in and logged-out menus, see http://pastebin.com/MhrTcqRT

@sonko915 please start a new topic of your own.
Post more info about your installation. WP/BP versions? Did you go through the Installation Wizard? https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/configuring-components-v1-6/

Closing this topic. Answer at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disabling-bp-registration/

You add it to your theme’s functions.php file per https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disabling-bp-registration/

Closing this topic.

his theme was essentially created to work on a single site and not with buddypress

@hitchb WP/BP versions? Which premium theme are you referring to?

likewise 😉
