Thanks so much Mercime for your response.

I had just updated to BP 1.6.4 and everything was fine. Then I saw a yellow bar at the top of my page saying I needed to do another update. I went through that process and then all of a sudden started getting this error. Here it is again directly copied. The rest of the page is blank and this is all I can see –

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_theme() in /home/*****/****/****/***/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/admin/bp-core-functions.php on line 242

I’m not very advanced with this stuff and was just starting to get excited about having BuddyPress on my site. Now I’m so discouraged and worried about even getting access to my backend again.

Hey all anyone who face this similiar problem, made a core change in buddypress to delete the activity comment as an admin.Which i know its not correct way deal with, but just a quick hack.

File name : ajax.php
Path: plugins\buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\_inc\ajax.php
Line number: 405
Description: To give the capability to promoted admin of community, for deleting the activity comment.

Original code
——————
// Check access
if ( ! bp_current_user_can( ‘bp_moderate’ ) && $comment->user_id != bp_loggedin_user_id() )
exit( ‘-1’ );

Change code
——————-

// Check access
/* if ( ! bp_current_user_can( ‘bp_moderate’ ) && $comment->user_id != bp_loggedin_user_id() )
exit( ‘-1’ );
*/

I hear what your saying but as I indicated above Yoast wants support to go through the WordPress site and nobody there has responded. https://yoast.com/contact/

Also the more and more I am looking at how Joomla has advanced over the past two years and especially http://www.jomsocial.com/ there does not even seem to even a tad of comparison in features or technology. Even the responsive themes are dynamite in contrast. I must admit Joomla two years ago was week in the theme, seo and plugin and core updates updating from within admin. Clearly these guys have been hard at work. Not the case anymore.

Joomla plugins where always much higher end in terms of features and functionality. One of the reasons I can over to WordPress was I liked the ease of SEO, themes were better at the time, and also I liked having the ability upgrade things from within the admin as apposed to FTP. Not the case now.

I am still evaluating but from what I am seeing on the early look its probably going to be complete change over to Joomla with Jomsocial.

HELP!

Could this all be an issue with the way I installed my network?………….

I have noticed further issues with buddypress & bbpress, sign up not performing or functioning, no bbpress mails being sent and the complete inability to edit etc ‘any sitewide forums. There may be more issues I have just not checked.

I installed network under sub-directories ‘then’ added domain mapping!

Should I have in fact installed the network sites via sub domains and then added domain mapping?

ie. BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory  ? 

Could this be my issue?

Hi Brajesh,

Well, thank you so much! That little piece of ‘magic-code’ accomplishes exactly what I was hoping to do in controlling the default landing-tab for individual groups. A very welcome addition to my bp-custom.php file.

“Give the world the best you have, and the best will come to you.” Indeed √

Your piece of code becomes a key control lever in my latest buddypress open-innovation + collaboration project – thanks again!

Sorry about stating the wrong group link.

So, that is what is weird … I DID apply the same changes to /groups/single/home.php

I just double checked, it has the same formatting as the others that I changed. I can’t figure this out.

Yes I agree and why I wanted to give WP a try and it is out of the box a much better platform for SEO. But if the project I am building requires social and the only solution is Buddypress and it does not support even basic SEO then its no fit for this project and clearly can’t find support for simple SEO titles working correct here, yoast or any place for that matter. Then its looking like a no fit for this project.

I guess the flipping code tags do not work here either. Not good not good at all. How can community help each other if they don’t work.

Think I am just going to stick with http://www.jomsocial.com/ A product I have used before. It works and works right.

Been using Joomla for many years. I recently started building some sites because I honestly like the how far WP has come over the years. But when it comes to social networking it appears from what I am experiencing there is nothing better then JoomScocial because it has a ton of features that are more mature and just work. There is far to much time needed to spend on building and marketing a site to make its success then to play around with things that do not work.

Bye…!

Asynaptic,

I actually found that link the other day and the solution they provided there did not work. I went back just now since you posted it and tried it again and still did not work.

One thing I did however notice this time is that post talks about finding this line of code:

`

`

and replacing it with this line of code

`

`

However after closer observation what I found is that there is no such line of code in my theme header.php file unless they are talking about one of the many other template files within buddy they have not made clear.

What I have instead in the theme header.php file for title is this line of code:

`
|
`

Notice there is no bp_page_title() in my original code that I am replacing.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Zorro….

Thanks again, Ben. You’ve helped me realize that I had the whole “Multiple Buddypresses thing” screwed up in my mind. I was under the mistaken impression that I could have Buddypress on each site and have all sites come together in one big social membership.

The good news is that, while at breakfast this morning, I bounced this all off my wife, Teresa, who said, “why not have one website with multiple groups?” I knew that was possible but wanted the autonomy of different sites, different themes to have to develop and a multitude of development/design iterations. Why? Duh.

So, thanks for not getting back to me in light speed as you, and Teresa, helped me immensely and the path is now clear to do one website/many tabs/groups. Yay!

Hugo,

There are many areas but the title and descriptions are not unique for each member or group. It does not take much understanding to see if one builds even a small community of say 5K members if every profile title says Members and every group says Groups that SEO is very bad and Google will spit this out in a heart beat and not value the site very well in rankings. Good SEO practice has got to be unique titles and descriptions old or new days.

I built sites that have over 20K unique visitors per day and been around online full time since 2001. I am new to Buddpress and only been working with WordPress a little under a year. I know this for sure SEO to be as important today as years ago. Also if Buddy is going to be fully integrated with WP it in simple terms it needs to work just as WP does or then its not fulling integrated. Instead it is partially integrated. Like it or not 80% of all internet traffic today begins with a search and if SEO is not a big part of ones marketing plan success is probably not going to be found easily.

Now don’t get me wrong I do admire and appreciate all the hard work done here on this project. I am very detailed and experienced traffic and IM guy that just simply trying to bring these things to front to make better product. I am however no programmer.
