How did you do the database cleanup? You used phpAdmin or another tool? And what table? Thanks a lot!

@HorrorUK,

After you cleared the database and recreated groups and group forums, have you tried disabling and then enabling group discussion forum again to see if you still can create a topic for that group? I am asking this, because this is happening to my site. I cannot afford to clear the database and recreate groups because these groups already have topics and replies. I look forward to hear your results. Thanks.

Here is my post.

You can do some mods with CSS but it will never be 100% perfect. If you are using a child theme you can copy over a template file from BP plugin

buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php

your-theme-folder/activity/index.php

If you have that file structure bp will use your file instead. You can then edit html to make it fit better. DO NOT edit CSS classes and id’s of BP markup or the javascript will break.

bbPress work similarly but you place bbPress template files in a folder bbpress

OOTB BuddyPress and bbPress are not built for small screens. You will need to re-write the template files if you want a better experience on those devices. BP 1.7 will work better with mobile plugins but the content will still be squished as those plugins are just a wrapper for the content.

See this:

@gavpedz maybe something’s getting lost in translation, but you can post activity status updates in the home page of the Group (activity by default) you are already a member of. If you mean otherwise, please explain further.

@miskostanisic Is this a single WP site or a multisite installation? Are WP/BP installed at domain root e.g. http://example.com/ or in subdirectory?

@remixines I will check it later today and post changes here for set up when sidebar widgets are activated.

@jimmygibbs you’d have to copy over the HTML structure from your other BP template files e.g. /members/index.php onto the /members/single/activity/permalink.php file which handles the individual activities.

Thank you Chouf1

Paste the code used by developer to “create a menu that was only accessible once the member has logged in. He managed to do that however he only had the activity, members, forum and groups page and no profile or messages , friend requests etc now. ”

What would it take to make it like this: http://mysite.com/members/joebloggs/

@transmission install WordPress and BP at domain root http://example.com/ so that member’s link would look like http://example.com/members/joeblogg

In the first link you posted, either you installed WP at http://example.com/buddypress so that’s why member’s link are at http://example.com/buddypress/members/joeblogg or you made a custom menu with BuddyPress as main menu and place the Members page under BuddyPress menu

group-forums vs. site-forums: both are using “forums”

in the core, BP use the name “forums” for group forums and this is how BP manage his integrated forum part on bbpress 1.2 (from head)
in your bbpress 2.2.3 setting you use the default “forum” in base name. Change this and you will see that your forums will run correctly.
It’s a mistake to think that a simple “s” will make a difference…

You’re now on BP 1.6.3, not on 1.5… things are changing !

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/

Why do you want add a refesh button ?

Then I edited the Header.php file, added theses codes to the beginning and ending of the nav div area

If you can’t produce this code it’s difficult to know what kind of errors you made !
Also answer please to questions asked by @mercime….

You need to know php and need to use this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/plugin-development/group-extension-api/

hi @fitnessblogger,

use this in wp-content/plugins/ bp-custom.php
(If you haven’t this file you have to create it first)

Tested on 1.6.3

`function bpfr_excerpt($text) {
return trim($text,'[…]’);
}
add_filter(‘bp_activity_truncate_entry’, ‘bpfr_excerpt’, 3, 3 );`

if you want to replace […] by ‘xxx’ you use this

`function bpfr_excerpt($text) {
return str_replace( ‘[…]’,’xxx’,$text );
}
add_filter(‘bp_activity_truncate_entry’, ‘bpfr_excerpt’, 3, 3 ); `

Take care with copy/pasting from here. Quotes must be single quotes at least.

@dcyweb If you click on the Register link while you’re logged in, then the default behavior is a redirect to home page. Log out first.

As for your Forums page, which forum did you activate? Group Forums, Sitewide Forums or both? https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
