BuddyPress.org

there was some post @jjj made about having a different nickname from your shortname to avoid that but i think i might heard that no longer applies. you might have also been flagged as a spammer somehow, possibly, same thing happened to me once. 😛

I’m getting 404 when I try any buddypress related page /groups/, /activity/, /register/, etc. on your site.

If you see this to be true as well, it might have to do with a permission issue on your server. I just had this the other day. And actually it could be several things if not that. What versions of wp and bp are you using? What other plugins do you have installed and list which are active and deactivated. As well, what is your environment? is it shared hosting, server, vps, etc.?

See how it’s done at http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

I’ve installed BuddyPress but there’s no option for Admin to create forums or groups.

@feleciarose in BP Default theme, the groups create button shows up beside the title of Groups Directory page. As admin, you could always just append “create” to the groups slug. For example, http://example.com/groups/create and you’d get the group creation panel.

As for forum creation, which forums are you referrring to – sitewide or group forums?

I assume you also posted at Studiopress forums regarding this issue.

@p2ab Those pages should have been generated if you went through the Installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

@tcbroonsie Please share the names of the two themes which did not work with BP 1.7 theme compat so that we can be prepared if others using the same themes post here with the same issue. Much appreciated.

Easiest test -> activate BuddyPress and check BP pages using Twenty Twelve. If it’s working as expected in your installation using Twenty Twelve but does not work with a WordPress theme you activate next, then there’s a problem with the theme. Either theme author has rewritten WP templating system or added layer/s of abstraction which prevents BP template parts from showing up in that theme, etc/

As for plugins, starting off with the Theme Check plugin – if you see any WARNINGS and REQUIRED issues showing up after you run the theme check, then it’s possible that the theme might not work with BP

Check out Theme Mentor plugin as well https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-mentor/
It’s a relatively new plugin and has some false positives but it’ll help you out.

I am having a similar issue.

I am using WordPress version 3.5.1, and BuddyPress version 1.6.4. I have no other plugins installed. Both the WordPress and BuddyPress installs are clean and brand new. I am also using the default BuddyPress theme, though I did set up a child theme which contains only a style.css file.

Every link on the site works EXCEPT the the Profile > Edit link on the user page for the current, logged in user. When this link is clicked, I am taken to a page that says: “Page not found; We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page that you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.” The url in the address bar for this 404 page is “http://mysite.com/members/user1/profile/edit/group/1/,” and I am not sure if this is correct.

The BuddyPress setting ‘members’ page slug was saved correctly. I am not sure what other steps to take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t believe it’s possible at the moment, without hacking the core.
I hope I’m proved wrong.
The Group_Extension API only handles single group pages.

in bp-custom.php

Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on:
` define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`

From: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

I am having the same issue with the friend button not doing anything except spinning but this also extends to most similar types of buttons like deleting/favoriting/commenting on activity posts. nothing happens.

Is this an ajax problem? i have read through this thread but cant see any good answer to the problem?

wordpress version 3.5
buddypress version Version 1.6.1

Is there any limit to the amount ?
This is typically a wordpress question. BuddyPress is only a plugin for WP.

are most buddypress enabled plugins compatible with 1.7?
BP is still in beta and feedbacks are low at the moment, so you have to test this yourself like we all do actually or wait the stable release and give some delay after for the same reason

Problem solved. It was a issue with my server. You have to add all the pages in configure page and wait for sometime. 

 

i have the same problem….how did you solve it???

This seams to still work, just tried it:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-widget/

As far as I got that a template pack will no longer be necessary in BP 1.7.

That´s the big deal now, it´s becoming absolutely theme independent and therefore will work out of the box on EVERY wordpress theme. (That has the “the_content call”, of course.)

So actually, giving BP it´s own Login and profile editing pages wont be as much work as it would be with the previous versions. Also a page where users can manage their post comment subscriptions would be great. Ask me, I might have another 400 ideas here 😉

Maybe ?!!! Yes….

Did you read the ticket indicate in boone’s post ?

Hi,

Hi

Can make a plugin for Buddypress so that the forum sends private messages to group users. This will then cause the notification system to pick up the message and show it in the grey WordPress/Buddypress notification bar. Your forum notification problem solved for only £15.

Let me know if you are interested and we will build it

You can use this tutorial http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-profile-privacy-to-buddypress/
its meant for profiles but it can be adapted for friends. Follow it exactly but instead of putting

3. Edit your theme file to include the friendship check:
To restrict profile info, open up /members/single/profile.php and add this at the top of the page:

add that code in 3. instead to /members/single/friends.php

You may also want to change the test in 2. step to:
You must be friends in order to access users friends.
