BuddyPress.org

@mindyjoy do you have access to the database, eg through your Control Panel and phpMyAdmin?

It might help to look in there to see what is going on.

In the wp_users table there is a ‘user_status’ column. I don’t think WordPress uses it but BuddyPress does and so do these plugins (I believe). Active Users are ‘0’ unactivated are ‘2’.

There is a ‘user_activation_key’ column but I think the relevant keys are found in the wp_usermeta table. Search the ‘meta_key’ column in that table for ‘activation_key’ and the keys will appear in the ‘meta_value’ column.

Hopefully those tables should tally with what is shown by the plugins. Or else you could email your users with the keys…

I have a feeling it may be related to Step #6, when the bbPress repair tool ‘Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships’ works only the first time it is run, subsequent attempts will not actually update bp_groups_groupmeta.id with the correct forum ID.

Details of this are in bbPress ticket #2089

If and ONLY if in your WP database tables `wp_bp_groups.slug` is an exact match with the associated post for the forum in `wp_posts.post_name` then the 2089.2.diff patch will work as long as this forum was one of the group forums originally imported.

Diving into phpMyAdmin and looking at these values and manually updating them I think will be the best solution.

Bril. Thanks.

No, it is 3.5 not 3.5.1

Then you should upgrade to WP 3.5.1 which includes bug fixes and compatible with BP 1.6.4. https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/releases/

Is there a problem with the BP and the permalink structure having index.php in it?

@magnuscreed Yes there is. You have to remove that index.php from permalink structure with BuddyPress. I’ve never hosted on Windows server, maybe the following info may help.

indeed, something tells me that this maybe a common problem amongst the managed wordpress hosts (pure conjecture nothing really to back that up) as they all charged based on visitors. i can say that the service itself has been great and having actual phone support as well as the fact that you don’t have to explain how wordpress works or what buddypress is every time you call in or start a ticket is very nice. there are a few quirks to the system that take a little getting used to but if it weren’t for this one issue i would have no hesitation to fully endorse them. anyway i’ll definitely update the thread once i have some kind of final resolution.

No as i’m hosted elsewhere.

Just researching potential managed hosts and trying to decipher reviews from affiliate marketing.

Nothing good yet but they do seem to be taking the matter seriously (as one should expect) supposed to speak with them again today in fact. They have provided a few suggestions but none of them has done the trick (CDN, custom robots file) The last suggestion was a bit wanting IMO they suggested using a third party service to filter our traffic. If this truly is a system wide issue i’d think that they need to revise either their stated billing policy or their method of counting visitors. Just curious are you also experiencing this issue?

@ubernaut

so like i say i’m hoping to resolve this and i will surely keep you posted

Any update on this!

Multisite WordPress along with this plugin will get you close to what you want.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/

There is this plugin, but I haven’t tried it yet:

BuddyPress Live Notification

@gust0208 deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. Choose the BP Default theme. And no, you do not add any shortcode to the Page in order for BP to work. If you’ve manually created the Pages e.g. Members, Groups, etc. go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and assign the created Pages to appropriate BP Component and Save.

It can be done, but it’s not available out of the box. You’d either have to code it yourself or hire a developer to do so.

BP 1.7 trunk is not actively supported in this forum at this time. Having said that, Testbp.org is running WordPress 3.6-bleeding, BuddyPress 1.7-bleeding, and bbPress 2.3-bleeding

@scorpiouno unfortunately, your theme’s styles have overwritten the default forum styles that are enqueued by the bbPress plugin. For example, if bbPress is activated using the Twenty Twelve theme, the forums are styled as expected http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248/forum/

Initial scan of your forum shows some style corrections you can add to the BOTTOM of your theme’s style.css file:

#entry #bbpress-forums ul {
margin: 0;
}
#entry #bbpress-forums ul li {
margin-left: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar {
display: inline-block;
width: 14px;
}

@abarclay Strange. All menu links to BuddyPress components are working so I will guess that something changed possibly in the hierarchical structure of your other pages. To double-check, go to Appearance > Menus and Create a New Menu. Add links to the New Menu and save. Use that New Menu for your Primary Navigation and save. Check if issue is resolved.

I have set up buddypress 1.6.4 on WordPress 3.5.

– Should be on WP 3.5.1. Or was that a typo error?
– Did you go through the Installation Wizard after activating BuddyPress?
– Have you tried re-uploading BuddyPress plugin manually? i.e, via s/FTP etc?
– Are you using any membership plugin? Please deactivate and check if issue is resolved.
