hi @somdefabrica,

have you tested with the bp-default template activated ?

Deactivate also any plugin except BP and reactivate one by one to try to find a culprit.

delete the content of htaccess and put this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

and create a phpinfo() file at the root of your site and check the exact php version.

Google to see what is phpinfo if you don’t know

Where do you try to insert the code ? The code works if you put it in bp-custom.php (this file should be in wp-content/plugins) , i tested it before publishing here and a tab appears on the profile page.

Copy/pasting from here is odd, take care with cotes.

I don’t know about a good tutorial. View here and try also bp-skeleton
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/plugin-development/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/

have you php 5.2 or something greater?

WP requires more as 5.2.4 https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

What is in the htaccess file ?

hi @ngoegan,

you have problems ? Me too ! But what kind of problems ? It’s not working as you expect is not really ” a problem” i guess….

You can’t find a register page ! Huh , because User registration is currently not allowed. It’s written here: http://livingcm.org/register/

Go to BP setting and show if you created all the pages needed by BP espacially “register” and “activate”. This must be done. If pages are OK,  check “Anyone can register” from here /wp-admin/options-general.php

How to do you set up your homepage ? Did you something like a static page or so ?
Have you changed a slug somewhere ?

Have you also changed the permalinks from default to something else ? Must be done to use correctly BP : D

Hi,
who’s your host ? What type of host do you have ? What is your host mysql and php version ?
What is your WP version ? Do you want to install BP on a single or MS wordpress ?

Hi @versipellis,

Make sure that you only attempt to set up the items after BP has set up its core navigation. You can ensure this by hooking to bp_setup_nav with a priority higher than 10.

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/plugin-development/group-extension-api/

try this in bp-custom.php

<code>function my_bp_nav_adder() {

bp_core_new_nav_item(

array(

‘name’ => __( ‘Media Privacy’,’bp-media-privacy’ ),

‘slug’ => ‘media-privacy’,

‘position’ => 75,

‘show_for_displayed_user’ => true,

‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_media_privacy_link’,

‘item_css_id’ => ‘bp-media-privacy’

)
);

}

function bp_media_privacy_link () {

add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘my_media_privacy_title’ );

add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘my_media_privacy_content’ );

bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );

}

function my_media_privacy_title() {

echo ‘My Page Title’;

}

function my_media_privacy_content() {

echo ‘Add the content loop here’;

}

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_bp_nav_adder’, 100 );

</code>

Hi i downloaded the trunk version and tried to activate it on my test site and received a error. WordPress is 3.5 version and downloaded the trunk from the above given link…Here is the error i received

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Warning: require(wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in wp-content/plugins/trunk/bp-loader.php on line 401

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in wp-content/plugins/trunk/bp-loader.php on line 401

Hi @intimez,

you have 2 possibilities to use bbPress. As group forums, this is intended in buddypress standard install, or as standalone forum., aka sitewide forum, with the complete bbPress plugin. The bbPress part shipped with BP is not exactly working as the plugin.

In the first case, you may use the install wizard of BP. Activate “discussion forums” and create the appropriate page on the “pages” tab. Done ! You have to create first a group, and from ithin the group admin you can then activate a group forum.

In the second case, don’t check “discussion forums” and install the bbPress plugin. Once installed, a “forum” menu appears on the left in the dashboard. Go to the forum settings page and do your settings.

If you want to use ONLY a sitewide forum, you can let all the forum settings by default.

If you want to use the group forums AND a sitewide forum, witch is not recommended because confusing for your members probably, you have to take care to one thing.

The “forum base name” in the forum settings of the plugin. By default this name is “forums”. But this base name is also used by the group forums, so it wouldn’t work for both. In fact, this name is reserved for BP only.

So if you want both forum types, CHANGE OBLIGATORY the base name to something other as forum or forums, and that’s it !

Hi @tombot86,

of course ! You can use syntaxhighlighter evolved plugin.
Because BP is stripping out some html in posts replies, you have to modify a line in
bp-forums-template.php:1167 (or near these line)
Replace by this:
<code>`return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, wp_specialchars_decode( $topic_template->post->post_text, ENT_QUOTES ) );`</code>

And in your child theme functions.php, add this:
<code>`remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, ‘bp_forums_filter_kses’, 1 );
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, ‘wptexturize’ );`</copy>

From now you can use the different shortcodes provided by the plugin to insert code snippets into your group forums posts.

Take care of quotes and backsticks by copy/pasting from here.

Here’s an example of what you will see on BP 1.6.2 MS/ WP 3.5

Hi @elangley I ‘m glad you use buddypress group documents.
If you have made an updated version can you please share it?

Thanks
Lena

You can create something like Good Reads out of BuddyPress most definitely. How you go about it though is a bit of a huge question. If you don’t feel comfortable first I’d recommend hiring a developer and designer or partnering with some. It’s certainly going to be beyond the ‘tie a few plugins together’ task.

Once you’ve got the ‘who’ to build sorted you can then look at planning what you want to form the foundation. You probably want to figure out what people want to do – their actions when using your site. From there, you can work out a list of what you need built.

I know you may be looking for a plan but that’s not really something anyone can provide you, it’s ultimately up to you as to what you want to build. In short, can you – yes… how – up to you 🙂

maybe this will help?

Hi Barry,
sorry to begin with a bad news: buddypress is buddypress and facebook is facebook. To have the same as FB, you have… FB !
But the trend is the trend and you’re not alone to ask for the same thing. So a plugin still exist that allows you to create an administer your Facebook fan pages directly from WordPress.
This is the nearest i know so far to respond to your question ” which creates fan pages exactly like facebook”
Unfortunately, the plugin’s FAQ tells
Will this plugin work with BuddyPress?
Meh, yes and no. We’ve had reports that it does look odd and behaves strangely in BuddyPress.
Should be tested, huh ?

So you have probably to imagine your own solution after grabing a bit here:

@cannedbear,
