Apologies for my rant!
I managed to resolve this issue by creating all the member forums first from WP dashboard and then assigning them to the appropriate groups from the members forum setting page from the front end.
It appears the issue lies with BuddyPress when trying to create member forums from the front end using the ‘allow group to have its own forum’ setting.

What exactly do you mean by post links and where is the issue showing up? Blog post links or Forum post links or Activity Status update post links?

Have you tried to deactivate plugins batch by batch except BuddyPress to determine whether it’s a plugin conflict?

[Asynaptic]

Thanks @derdzi – can someone please confirm this? also, can you share it with the Yoast SEO wordpress forum so they can respond?

The author answer means that the plugin works only with group forums ?!!!

So you have to search another rating widget who works with bbPress or create it yourself or to configure your buddypress to use group forums instead of a standalone forum.

But as bbP is fully post typed, have you tried to use the plugin’s shortcode ?

Here’s the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/

The developer said: “seems like you are using the standalone version of bbPress … we only support BuddyPress’es bbPress forums.”

I don’t have any group forums, as they’re not necessary. Using most recent version of WP & BP under Woo’s Canvas theme. Thanks!

[danbp]

If you installed bbpress on WP, you have a standalone forum configuration ! So no matter if you installed it before BuddyPress. 😉

Have you group forums ?

What is the not working voting-widget plugin you speak about ? Give an URL please.

What BP/WP version do you use ?
What is your theme ?

[@mercime]

@hellen83 The problem is in your installation. BuddyPress does not append /forum to a newly created group’s home page. Basic troubleshooting: deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to Twenty Twelve theme or BP Default theme. Then create a group.

[@mercime]

I have tried creating a menu item that points to the actual “forum” itself, but it returns with “page not found”

What is the title/slug of your main forum page. This main forum page should be created via Pages > Add New. At the very least, if you forgot to add the forums index or other available bbPress shortcodes to the main forum page before publishing that page, you’d only get a page with Page title and not a 404 error.

There is very fine solution for the problem of seo with buddypress. You just have to use yoast seo plugin and modify one file.

There will be solution for the titles of groups, group forums and member pages.

More details when you follow the link.

[derdzi]

I had the same problem with yoast seo for buddypress and I’ve found this solution, maybe it isn’t the cleanest one but it works for groups, group forums and members. http://latinosparis.com/simplecode/buddypress-seo-problem-with-yoast-plugin-solved/

Hope it will help!

@bottleinfrontomy at least 3 users have posted in this forum re pagelines framework. Deactivate pagelines theme and the pagelines-buddypress plugin then change to Twenty Twelve theme. Check if issues are resolved. if not, deactivate plugins batch by batch to check which one is causing conflict – including those in mu-plugins folder.

Can somebody help me with too big sidebar forum tags issue?

[caspergrimaldi]

There is a “is_user_logged_in() ” but it isn’t checked :S

It’s in my sidebar. Here is the php.
<?php do_action( ‘bp_before_sidebar’ ); ?>

<div id=”sidebar” role=”complementary”>
<div class=”padder”>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_inside_before_sidebar’ ); ?>

<div class=”gravatar”><?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

<?php bp_displayed_user_avatar( ‘type=full’ ); ?></div>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_after_sidebar_login_form’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php /* Show forum tags on the forums directory */
if ( bp_is_active( ‘forums’ ) && bp_is_forums_component() && bp_is_directory() ) : ?>
<div id=”forum-directory-tags” class=”widget tags”>
<h3 class=”widgettitle”><?php _e( ‘Forum Topic Tags’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?></h3>
<div id=”tag-text”><?php bp_forums_tag_heat_map(); ?></div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘sidebar-1’ ); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_inside_after_sidebar’ ); ?>

<?php wp_meta(); ?>

</div><!– .padder –>
</div><!– #sidebar –>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_after_sidebar’ ); ?>

[Yukon Cornelius]

I was having the same problem, and it wouldn’t work for me with any of the suggested hacks in bp-custom.php

I found a thread in the WordPress forum on the same topic which worked. Just put:

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9);

in your theme functions.php

Hope that helps.

@caming
If your using BuddyPress then it should login users to use forums as well. I think you may want to post this issue on the bbpress forums as well.

[Scott Hendison]

@hahvensa – My programmer, a member of this forum, is unable to have her replies go live or be shown in her history, so after reading your post she had an idea and fixed it – she asked me to post this –

we don’t use the dropdown select box, but while troubleshooting I put it back on and it doesn’t work for us either. I don’t know a solution to that since we don’t need it.

On the alphabetical issue: I finally found a way to make it work. I had to edit a core buddypress file though. bp-core/bp-core-classes.php on line 253, I changed from $sql['orderby'] = "ORDER BY u.display_name";
to
$sql['orderby'] = "ORDER BY u.user_login";

Of course this only works for us because we chose to use the business names as the people’s usernames. The sorting by display name, although should work, shows the list out of order. I can’t figure out why, but the core file edit has solved the problem. That will be frustrating on upgrades, but at least it now works.

Before the upgrade, we were sorting by display name and it worked fine, and this sounds like a workaround – Using buddypress for a chamber of commerce seemed like a good idea at the time, and overall we’ve been pretty happy, but is there any paid support somewhere?

[@mercime]

Before the change I had the grey around the navigation of friends forums etc but that disappeared with the templates being disabled.

Not quite sure what you mean. You lost all BP styles? What do you mean by “templates disabled”? BP components are rendered automagically via theme’s page.php file.

[unknownterritory20]

Ok. I played around with it until I found out the issue, but I don’t know how to solve it.

In groups > forum > topics > My New Topic … when I inspect the element for the href for the modify link (and others) are as follows…

href=”http://mysite.com/groups/Sailing/forum/topic/edit?_wpnonce=xxx&#8221;. This gives me a blank page, or bbpress edit form.

If I slightly modify the url to href=”http://mysite.com/groups/Sailing/forum/topic/my-new topic/edit?_wpnonce=xxx” then I see things exactly how they are supposed to be. So the modify link was taking me to the wrong page.

I have no idea how to modify the url to insert the topic title. This would completely resolve my issue

The modify link is embedded in the bp_the_topic_admin_links function.

function bp_the_topic_admin_links( $args = '' ) {
	echo bp_get_the_topic_admin_links( $args );
}
	function bp_get_the_topic_admin_links( $args = '' ) {
		global $forum_template;

		$defaults = array(
			'seperator' => '|'
		);

		$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
		extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

		$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'edit', 'bp_forums_edit_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Edit Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

		if ( bp_is_item_admin() || bp_is_item_mod() || bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) ) {
			if ( 0 == (int) $forum_template->topic->topic_sticky )
				$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'stick', 'bp_forums_stick_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Sticky Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			else
				$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'unstick', 'bp_forums_unstick_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Un-stick Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

			if ( 0 == (int) $forum_template->topic->topic_open )
				$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'open', 'bp_forums_open_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Open Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			else
				$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'close', 'bp_forums_close_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Close Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

			$links[] = '<a class="confirm" id="topic-delete-link" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'delete', 'bp_forums_delete_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Delete Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
		}

		return implode( ' ' . $seperator . ' ', (array) $links );
	}

ALSO, is there a way to disable bbpress user profiles, completely? I only want bp profiles active.

[@mercime]

@thecrow72 basically, BuddyPress uses the WP email functions for its registration process. Deactivate BuddyPress, bbPress and other plugins then check your WP registration/activation emails, etc. If it’s not working, then please resolve your issue at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Before activating BuddyPress, read https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/

Good luck!

[@mercime]

@sarathbabu_k can’t even guess what’s up with your installation. Need more information like WP/BP versions? Theme used? Plugins installed? New installation or upgraded from previous BP/WP version? Did you check if links in posts (blog posts or status updates or forum posts?) were working before BuddyPress was installed or not?

[unknownterritory20]

Thanks for responding.

-I’m using WP 3.5
-BP 1.7 is installed in a directory.
-I have bbpress 2.2.4 running
Please let me know if you need anymore info

[@mercime]

@adamfratino Thank you for posting back about the cause of the bbPress avatar issue. Please post at plugin’s support forums about the bbPress avatars issue when BuddyPress and Social Login are activated. https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/oa-social-login

[bedhead1971]

Yes followed instructions from the link..

I created a buddypress.php with the code above as the width of Buddypress was a bit narrow and I didn’t need sidebars. I used bp.php in laziness on here. Apologies..

Before the change I had the grey around the navigation of friends forums etc but that disappeared with the templates being disabled.

I have no compatibility issue, just wish to try and pretty it up again.

[@mercime]

BuddyPress does not block any styles hardcoded or enqueued by your theme. I don’t know why you cannot post in yootheme’s support forums for assistance if you’ve purchased your theme from them.

[@mercime]

@unknownterritory20 you already have posted about the same issue at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-group-forum-topics/
