BuddyPress.org

There are two locations you can edit the bbPress Group forum associated with a BP Group:

Frontend:
http://example.com/groups/buddypress-public-group/admin/forum/
Navigate to the groups ‘home page’ -> Admin -> Forum
(Where ‘buddypress-public-group’ is the name of the group forum)

Backend:
http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-groups&gid=1&action=edit
Wp-Admin Dashboard -> Groups -> ‘BuddyPress Public Group’ -> Edit
(Where ‘gid=1’ is the group forum ID)

Each of those screens should show both a checkbox and a dropdown menu showing the available bbPress Forums to associate with that particular BuddyPress Group.

Do both show the correct/expected bbPress forum selected?
(If you think any of the forum names in these dropdowns is ambiguous view the HTML source of the dropdown and each forum should also have a value= form field and that will be the ID of the bbPress forum)

However I do note that on the forums page although the ‘Edit’ button shows the correct forums_id values for each forum, the ‘View’ button shows an incorrect link for the problematic forum.

Hmmm… To continue using my same examples I have thus far, the bbPress Forum I am using has an ID of 25 and it’s edit link is http://example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=25&action=edit, it’s view link is http://example.com/groups/buddypress-public-group/forum/. Because BuddyPress is activated we add some redirection bits and pieces so we cannot directly modify the bbPress forum permalink whilst BuddyPress is activated.

If you deactivate BuddyPress for a moment and check the view link of the same bbPress forum it should be similar to http://example.com/forums/forum/buddypress-forums-category/buddypress-public-group-forum/ where in my case buddypress-forums-category is the bbPress parent forum category that all by BuddyPress group forums are located under and buddypress-public-group-forum is the bbPress forum.

So comparing my examples above do you see anything in your config that differs that matches up with your URL mismatch somewhere….

Clear as mud all of the above 😉

@chiraggmodi
Here is a free code snippet with instructions:

Add Xprofile fields to the members directory

You will place it in bp-custom.php if you do not know what this file is, then here is a link that will help explain it:

Good luck!

@giorgosnl Next time, please start a new topic as moderators could miss your post.

But when I click on upload image it redirects to my profile and will change admins image??

When I checked the issue you posted, the avatar was correctly changed in user’s profile but the update did redirect after completion to the Site Admin’s profile page. The issue was also posted at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5580 and fix is slated for BP 2.1.

If your issue is not resolved with the patch after changing to one of WP Default themes and deactivating all plugins except BP to exclude conflicts, please feel free to create a new trac ticket using your WP username and password to log in.

Also did you try updating via the ‘Group Forums’ Edit Screen UI?

It should be correctly updating the bbPress Forum there for your BuddyPress Group, did it? did you try?

As per your original post you are using bbPress v2.5.4, the bb_forums table are part of the legacy BuddyPress Group Forums/bbPress v1.x Forums.

bbPress 2.x no longer uses these tables, all of bbPress 2.x forums, topics and replies are in the wp_posts table as custom post types.

If you look in the bbPress Forums panel and hover your mouse over or edit one of the forums you will see the post ID in the URL, you will find that (educated guessing here) that most of your forums have a six digit ID’s?

Each of those ID’s should correspond to the bbPress 2.x Forum attached to each BuddyPress Group Forum as you see in your wp_groups_groupmeta table.

So if you look in the wp_groups_groupmeta table at your group ID 26 and that 127650 value does NOT match the bbPress forum ID you expect it should match.

Grab the correct bbPress forum ID and write down the current ID if you need to revert, bakcup your database etc etc) then update that value and I think you should be sorted.

Thinking about this further by updating the bbPress forum associated with the BuddyPress Group via the BuddyPress Groups edit should update the value in wp_bp_groups_groupmeta as I outlined above.

Before you try the MySQL direct approach above could you try editing the group and seeing if the the bbPress forum ID is updated correctly please.

Dashboard -> Groups -> Edit Group

Then, on the far right is a dropdown to select the bbPress forum associated with the BuddyPress group, if you change this does it update forum_id in wp_bp_groups_groupmeta with the correct bbPress forum ID?

@dainismichel – Cool, glad to hear of your rejuvenated relationship with BuddyPress 🙂

Talk to @hnla or @mercime if you want to contribute to documentation. We can always use more help.

BuddyPress uses bbPress for forums.
So you want to import into bbPress.
Try asking bbpress support.

Read point 2 of this post with an explanation and a workaround fix:

You’ll probaly want to build a plugin using the Group Extension API:

Group Extension API

Sounds like you just need an Events plugin that allows posting from the frontend. BuddyPress might be overkill for this.

If you do need to use BuddyPress and a frontend Events plugin that integrates with BuddyPress, then you’ll have to look for one that does this.

@jeremiahward Did you download the file from buddypress.trac in the Original Format per link at the bottom of the page, i.e., index.php? And did you add that index.php to your WP child theme folder per structure I gave you in your own child theme? If you did, and it’s still not working for you because of some conflict, you can always go through the CSS route. Add this to your stylesheet:

.activity form#whats-new-form {
display: none;
}
