BuddyPress.org

@artshop there are a variety of reasons for permissions errors in WordPress and/or BuddyPress. Could be or not be related to fantastico, depends on When/Where are you experiencing such warnings/error and what’s in your error logs if any.

As for installing WP with fantastico, that might be fine for a simple default blog. But for WP installs where you intend to install BuddyPress and/or go multisite, then you’d be better off installing it manually which may take you a few minutes longer to install … but the trade-off is not going through hours/days of trouble-shooting later. In addition, unless fantastico or any other webhosting one-click WP install scripts have changed in using the same prefix (wp_ or wpdb2_ etc) for all the one-click tricks, your installation is not secure i.e., hackable. There are other reasons for not using one-click webhost scripts for production sites which you can search via google. Lastly, it is also a requirement for installing BuddyPress https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements

Then you just have to override that in your child theme. BP Default’s responsive.css https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css

See line 211 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css#L210 where it expands #nav li to 100% of containing div. If you’re going to remove or change that, you’d need to work on for the #nav li which is set at 46% of container on line #43 of same file.

Hi!!! I arrived here from other website (Not sure if I’ve already asked in here). Where should I insert this code? in which file?

Have no idea. Changed the title of your forum topic to include BP Courseware which is as it should have been.

BuddyPress is free.

As for courseware, please post at plugin’s support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-courseware

It sounds like maybe you’re confusing two different things:

How the roles were added and removed.
How the users were granted those roles.

I know how they got there, and how they were removed. I’m curious why your users have those roles at all.

bbPress 2.2 and beyond have their own secondary user roles, that do not mix in with WordPress’s role picker. Basically, to avoid exactly this kind of scenario, where users are left without roles at all.

bbPress 2.2.3 should be automatically granting users a forum role when they login and browse the site. Whether or not they have a WordPress role on the site shouldn’t dictate their ability to create activity stream content. The only users that can’t create content in BuddyPress are spammed or deleted users.

Do you have some other role-based custom thing happening on your site that’s interfering somewhere?

I’m saying that BuddyPress creates several roles when you activate the Forums component, as the roles are specific to bbPress 1.x. That said, those roles never actually do anything, and likely can be safely removed.

So, I’m asking, how all of your members were assigned that role.

You could grant them all the Subscriber role. How did they all end up with the Member role? It’s not BuddyPress’s default role; did you set it to be in WordPress’s settings?

BuddyPress only does this when you turn on the old version of Forums. The “Member” role is part of bbPress 1.x, but was never intended to be used anywhere.

One other thing that I don’t know the answer to is how BuddyPress keys are connected to the WordPress registration process. For example, does WordPress generate the key, or is it BuddyPress that is generating the key?

If WordPress is generating the key, then the answer might be further down the line.

Hi, Regarding running BP on a WP site installed via Fantastico… Can you elaborate on what the ‘numerous issues” might be? I am experiencing an ‘access permission’ error and am wondering if this is the cause. Before I perform major reconstructive surgery on my WP install, I’d like to identify the source of this error.

@pewit,

Thanks for the tip. I was looking for a way to do it and found your tip. It worked like a charm.

edit// Xposted Mercime beat me to it – sad to hear your running that theme it goes against all that Standards based coders have struggled to steer people away from, I would urge you re-consider the use of that theme most strongly.

If you simply employed a consultant to import data then that’s really a WP matter, BP would not really play a part in that process for them, if you didn’t employ them to build a theme as well and clearly state BP was to be used then activating BP later would probably require customizing of those BP templates to fit your theme.

There is a template pack plugin to help migrate templates from BP into your theme, this requires a manual step where the markup of the major elements needs to be matched to your themes ones, this process is detailed in the BP Codex documentation so you may want to re-employ your developer to perform this last stage for you.

Alternatively if you can wait for BP 1.7 to drop then it’s less of an issue as this release will work with any theme.
