BuddyPress.org

@Chouf1 The bbPress plugin does things slightly differently, and you can use a bbpress.php file for its main templates. This should be explained somewhere if it’s not already on the bbPress codex. 🙂

@davidkooo BuddyPress doesn’t work like bbPress in this way, yet. You’ll have to go deep into the BuddyPress templates in your (parent?) theme.

A quick Google search reveals this has been asked many times on this forum: try something like https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-disabling-register-redirect/

Going to close this topic in favour of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/submitting-replying-to-activity-post-return-page-is-empty/ to reduce duplication.

Short answer: we’re aware, and will fix.

We’re aware: the bug report is at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4566

I think we’ll release a 1.6.3 soon.

BuddyPress doesn’t add, remove, or change user roles, so something else must have happened (did you update something else at the same time)?

If you deactivate and delete the plugin, all BuddyPress will NOT be removed. It will stay in your database.

Thanks @modemlooper, works great..:)

BuddyPress 1.6.2 requires WordPress 3.5.

@mercime hey i followed your steps and replaced the right lines and i pasted the twenty ten stylesheet below in my theme’s style sheet.

First of all thanks for helping. The result now is that my bbpress page’s show a blanc page.

If you like i can give you acces to the cms so you can see and maybe adjust the php files and the style sheet? Or do you have another solution?

that would be great because i’m trying hard but it still doesnt work! :/

Do you literally have “$my_blog_id” in the define() — if so, what’s $my_blog_id set to? I’d have expected this to be a simple number rather than a php variable.

I have done a BP 1.2.4 to BP 1.5.7(ish) and it worked fine. Interested to see how well a 1.1 to 1.6.2 goes. I’d suggest not worrying about stepping the BuddyPress upgrades, and doing something like:

1) Switch to a default WordPress theme (twentyten).

2) Disable all plugins.

3) Upgrade WordPress.

4) Add new version of BuddyPress, and activate it, and do that upgrade.

5) Update all other plugins, and reactivate them.

6) Switch back to original theme.

Make backups

@mercime Thank you very much! im gonna try it!

Hey, try adding the following to your css:

#sidebar{
display:none;
}

Seems to be similar to the problem I posted earlier this evening. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/submitting-replying-to-activity-post-return-page-is-empty/

Still awaiting assistance.

@djpaul I remember that issue https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3760 and it was resolved https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3684

One where the main site is a social based one where users can interact etc, but then to have a method by which to give users their own personal blogs as well yet still be part of the main site.

@voopress That’s exactly what you’ll get in a single WP Multisite installation by default. Read the information on the page I linked to above. You do not need two multisite installations like you mentioned in first post above

@aronmartin I’ve posted the instructions for Alyeska theme at http://wp.me/p1I84P-3O

@aronmartin the old code got mangled with the redesign so do not copy the leftovers above. I did make backups of instructions I posted in the forums. I just have to look for that one and post the code somewhere. Will let you know in about an hour or so.

You just add position: fixed; to your #header (or whatever hook you have) in your theme’s stylesheet. Use Firebug, a FF add-on, or the Chrome Inspector to find what styles are used in the elements you want to copy.

Hi mercime,

I saw you helped buddypress users before with the alyeska theme. I have downloaded the latest version of bbpress and i have installed the alyeska theme but i dont have a child theme.

The problem is i want to make my buddypress compatible with the alyeska theme.

example of a buddypress page on my website: http://www.kleedkamerkratje.nl/teamleden/
I want to adjust the width of the page to full-width but the sidebar shows on every buddypress page. I dont want this offcourse.

Lucky for me i found this forum.

I have followed your steps and got stuck in step A. I dont know what to replace in my php files. Do i copy/paste your code in the first line in these files? or do i overwrite this part

Sorry for my bad english im dutch!

I hope you can help me

hi,

– Should I update WordPress or BuddyPress first?
WP first than BP, but together !
BP from version 1.1.2 to 1.2!important, from 1.2 to 1.5 from 1.5 to 1.6.2
Same thing for WP from 2.8.4 to 3.0!important, from 3.0 to 3.2, from 3.2 to 3.4 from 3.4 to 3.5

For each, take the versions from SVN.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags

– Does any of the versions between the 1.1.2 and the last of BP will mess up with Design?

Yes/No depends on how deep you did the changes

– Where can I edit the website Title, Description and Keywords?
From within the site admin Dashboard > General settings
As keywords are no more used by Google, they’re not necessary. Otherwise you have to hardcode them into your child theme index page

– Is there something that I need to know in order to make this update successfully?
First of all, read the codex 😀
https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/releases/

@chouf1 thanks for that plugin link gonna check that one out myself!

Hi,

if you activate site wide forum, you have to change the default Forum Base name to something other as “forum”.

Unfortunatly, bbPress and BP use the same base name and in a BP install, BP’s forum has priority.
