@synaptic i’ve noticed that sometimes there is a lag with forum posts showing up.

@richardicanie buddypress is designed to be fully integrated with your primary wordpress installation. If you are using multisite then you would network activate buddypress. Be advised that although the various sub sites are part of the buddypress integration for the most part their activity shows up only on the primary site of your network (widgets and possibly themes can still access and display the network wide bp activity).

i cant do this as mentioned above…my header is a unique feature of all the pages…..ive integrated the main nav bar for my website into the header so it looks like part of the header….basically my site has 2 seperate content area one for the buddypress side of things and one for the orther pages if i remove the header i destroy the whole look of my theme as this section is crucial for navigation to the other areas…i refuse to believe that someone on these forums that have been using buddypress for years dont know where i would find where the links to the activity/profile/messages/ can be changed…i only need to locate these links in buddypress really to point them to under the header as henry said above (if it works) …surely someone knows how i can do this….im new to the buddypress plugin and nthis is why i need help to do this…basiclly its only location of where the links are in budypress files so i can edit them that i really need help with.

Nevermind, I figured it out! Turns out I didn’t select the Group Forums Parent but after I did that it works correctly.

[resom]

Yes, I deactivated the plugins and went to default theme but that didn’t do anything.

Wordpress 3.5.2
BuddyPress 1.7.2

[mixali]

I reinstalled WordPress (imported post, pages and forums) and it seems to be displaying right for each visit at the website!

[centrecircle]

This is massively crucial for me. I’m sure this has been done, but I haven’t found anything in a quick search of the forums.

Ideally ‘MEMBER updated FIELD’ but ‘MEMBER updated their profile’ would do the job still.

Any assistance would be magnificent.

[@mercime]

@resom WP/BP versions? Have you gone through basic troubleshooting like deactivating all plugins exept BuddyPress and changing to Twenty Twelve or BP Default theme?

[@mercime]

@globalvagabond you might want to post at https://bbpress.org/forums/

[RiGoRmOrTiS_UK]

@henrywright-1 making a bit of a mess of these replies; I should have actually mentioned its bbpress for the forums 🙂

[@mercime]

@faramarz No problem. Glad you found the cause and thanks for posting it here.
Cheers.

[RiGoRmOrTiS_UK]

@henrywright-1 apologies it comes with a plug-in so I’m guessing we won’t know what meta data to query for filtering a person out. How about if I set them to “Blocked” under the forum role; would this be something we could filter against for the member’s directory?

Thanks!.

[Faramarz]

@mercime .. I found the problem. It was my CSS file. I added something in my style.css to remove the site name and use an image logo instead, so I used this for my logo link:

h1#logo a {
	display: block;
	width: inherit;
	height: inherit;
	padding-top: 9999px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

the padding-top was hovering over all Groups, Members and Profile links and of course it was taking you to home page because I was actually clicking on logo URL. duh!!!

Sorry for this confusion and thanks.

[Faramarz]

okay, I just removed the line I added to my header.php in my child theme, now the CSS of the website is broken BUT the redirection is not happening and the links are working. This is strange.

[Faramarz]

@mercime the only plugin I am using is bbPress and the only modification I made to header.php is adding this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

and my functions.php only has this code:

<?php
if ( !function_exists( 'bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles' ) ) :
    function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {}
endif;
?>

[@mercime]

Is it okay to start with these files

@faramarz Yes. You only need to copy over the template files from BP default theme if you want to make modifications.

Everything works fine with “Twenty Twelve” theme, but when I activate my child theme, all links redirect to home page.

… which shouldn’t be the case at all.
– What plugins do you have installed?
– What modification/s have you made to your header.php, what did you add?
– What other code do you have in your functions.php file?

[@mercime]

@midexsoftware you can allow users to post anonymously in bbPress forums in Settings > Forums. As for notifications for each change in the forum, there’s no setting available by default. You could post at bbpress.org/forums/ for more assistance.

[@mercime]

@benjino blog page has got nothing to do with the bbPress plugin’s settings (Settings > Forums – not discussions). Clear your cache because I see no /blog page in your site.

[Hugo Ashmore]

There are no ‘Staff’ this is an open source project and the forum is maintained by volunteers, in fact all involved are volunteers from lead /core developers to moderators, contributors and general kindly people that try and give advice, an important distinction to make.

Problem? carried forward into each upgrade! that is a bit of an assumption and pretty unlikely to have happened.

The fix revolves around first establishing that this is actually a bug, so change theme to twentytwelve , disable any plugins , and custom code and see if issue still persists, if it does raise a trac ticket if problem goes away then you have an issue in your customizations somewhere

@fpats
To comment out that block of code in your function just add /* after the opening php tag and before your function. After the last } then add */ before the closing php tag.
Note comments basically prevents php from reading the function.
Here is your function commented:

<?php
/* //Begin comment
function redirect_group_home() {
  global $bp;
  $path = clean_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
  $path = apply_filters( 'bp_uri', $path );
  if (bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['home']['slug'] ) === false ) {
    
    echo "HERE WE GO...";
    echo "<PRE>"; print_r($bp->groups->current_group); echo "</PRE>";
    echo $bp->groups->current_group->status;
    echo $bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member;
    
    if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'public') {
      echo "<PRE>"; print_r($bp->bp_options_nav); echo "</pre>";
      exit();
      if ($bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['announcements']['slug']) {
        bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['announcements']['slug'] . '/' );
      } else {
        bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['forum']['slug'] . '/' );
      }
      bp_core_redirect( $path . 'welcome/' ); //quick hack for some other tab
    }
  }
}
*/ //END COMMENT

?>

Please check the codex for documentation first:

If that doesn’t help then post back with current issues.

[unknownterritory20]

Hi,
Still working to resolve this issue. Any help would be well appreciated.

[rickkumar]

Please DELETE this thread. I have posted it in ideas forum.

[Hugo Ashmore]

Guys this has been covered! which is why I requested a site search, not to be mean but to follow a forum principle of not repeating itself and of using it’s archives. 🙂

the latter functions miss an important trick covered in a previous post on this by mercime and in the first example here by Henry and will be, in all likelihood, spitting out the link on all menus, possibly the desired effect?

[benjammin]

I can go to a WP forum for your suggestions if answers for this aren’t provided here. If not here, I do appreciate the concepts you shared, I’ll go with those to WP Forums.

[koreancandy]

I’m using WordPress Version 3.5.1 and Buddypress version 1.7.2
