BuddyPress.org

I’ve just tested this with all sorts of combinations of bbPress/BuddyPress, and I can’t recreate a problem.

Can you find out what web server software your web host is using for your server? It could be Apache, nginx, etc.

We ran into, what I assume here, is the exact same problem that you’re having, but with the BP-Default theme running WordPress 3.5 and BuddyPress 1.6.2, so we tracked down the problem and just implemented the changes from this BuddyPress trac ticket (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4510) that is set to fixed/closed and will drop soon here with the release of BuddyPress 1.7, and all is well again with threaded comments and replies, as well as fixing a few other quirky problems that we were having.

I’m actually a bit surprised that more folks aren’t posting on the support forums here about these same issues directly related to this. I would have to imagine that it’s happening within a lot of other installs, especially considering that it’s definitely occurring within the BP-Default framework.

I hope that this lead helps you out…

it’s no longer possible to make threaded comments.

@wpte which threaded comments are you referring to? The ones in the activity stream or the ones in single post pages? If you change to bp-default theme, are the threaded comments showing up properly? Unplugged theme has not been updated since BP 1.2 and the author has even removed it from being listed in the WP Theme Repo.

Haven’t seen Labzip’s video guide but this is the first time I’ve read that activating bbPress with BP has caused those issues. More likely cause of issues would be theme or plugin conflict. If you change to bp-default theme, can you see your friends and/or invite someone to the group?

@talha8877 you can remove that from your theme’s single.php file

I am also having this exact same issue since upgrading. I have also tried a fresh install, deactivating plugins, used BP default theme and still have the same problem as the original poster. I am using WordPress 3.5 and BuddyPress 1.6.2 as well.

I need to delete these stock theme files out of the theme through FTP before I can use the Template Pack plugin?

@neodoxa No. DO NOT delete those stock theme files. This means that you don’t need to install/activate the BP Template Plugin at all. But if you did make revisions on those BP template files, I would delete your rocket-made theme folder in server and re-upload a clean copy of the theme.

The last piece of the puzzle for me is getting a completed Buddypress integration with forums.

You’re getting there. Create a new topic if you have any issues with the forums. Good luck.

I’m not aware of a plugin that does what you wish.

But it wouldn’t be that hard, if you know how to code, to write such a plugin or extend the plugin you mention.

You might try asking that plugin’s author to add those features.

Or you could hire someone to make the changes:

BP Jobs Board

There is no fan page component. You can rename groups to fanpage or pages. Look through codex on how to change text

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

The problem I’m getting is that it won’t go back to Step 1.

@neodoxa That happens when the BP folders like /activity, /members, etc. were previously transferred to into your active theme already. Delete those BP folders, after backing up if you’ve made changes to those BP templates within already, or choose a new theme and BP Template Pack will start with Step 1.

P.S. Congratulations on critterhub.com, content is still interesting and has grown a lot. I must say you made “Hedgehog Diet” an interesting read. Bravo! 🙂

There is filter hooks in the function which you should use instead of modifying core, but assuming you’re just modifying core for temporary testing purposes only, you will need to modify the $mode variable as it defines mode 2 (login via wp) by default (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-core/bp-core-catchuri.php#L463)

For production purposes, there is a $redirect url arg (which can be filtered with ‘bp_core_no_access’) that you should use to set your custom login.

…depends where you work…  😉

Compared to some help requests I’ve answered, this site’s rather tame.

CSS design is a very complicated subject. The base BP theme’s CSS file is almost 2,500 lines long and has a vast and intricate style tree. Answering a RFC (request for comments) on a given set of changes to it  is many hours of work, and is beyond what can be handled on these forums.

If you have a specific problem, eg: “When I set style X to Y, the level 2 menus explode” or “How can I invert the color scheme”, the users here will be happy to help you.

Also, be aware there are sweeping changes in the works for BuddyPress’ template system. The core development team is currently re-designing the entire template system to use page-fragment injection. In theory, this will allow BuddyPress to use almost any WordPress template set – not just ones designed specifically for BuddyPress.

I’d estimate they’re about 6 months away from release on this.

^F^

In db wp_users find user_status this should be 0

Which version of PHP are you using on the server? It looks like others have experienced similar issues with php 5.4: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4191

Ah hah. Just to confirm: with bbPress active, your BuddyPress “Active user” like in the emails don’t work?

I keep getting one of these two errors at the top. No errors are showing up in google inspector though. I hope this helps

You do not need to change your theme in the tutorial at all. If you just need a login redirect plugin, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/
