With BP 1.7 and bbPress 2.3 it became really easy. Just install them the usual plugin installation way (automatic through WP or via FTP).
Best is you first activate BuddyPress, you will see a welcome screen with a direct link to the settings. Change them if you want.
Then go back to plugins and activate bbPress, you will see a welcome screen again. You will see three new admin menu items (Forums, Topics, Replies). Got to Forums and add a new forum, maybe called “Group Forums”. Got to the bbPress settings under Settings -> Forums. Change them if you want – and scroll down to the very last option: Activate group forums for BuddyPress. Choose you’re Group Forum, save it. – That’s all! Now go ahead and create your first group via BuddyPress in frontend group directory.

That is an awful lot of “wants” for one topic. You would probably do better tackling each issue separately on different topics. If you don’t get the help you need then I would suggest hiring a developer to do it for you. For future reference I would not use a list with multiple changes as you did on this forum because if you will add multiple topics and add the specifics you will get more help overall. There may be people that can help with one or two items you listed but they may not even read your topic and aid you because you was not specific on each individual item. Make sense?

@hnla All I did was install Buddypress without any themes or plugins. It’s as raw as it could be.

@modemlooper where do I find that file? And where do I paste the piece of code into it? Is it possible for me to send you my buddypress.php file and have you install it? To reiterate, I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to code. I kinda sweat if I have to make changes to it 😉

@mercime Here’s a link to my site. It’s all in the tab FORUM

Thanks everyone for your help!

Please oh Please Share your knowledge and the fix. Like @modemlooper has shared plugins and countless forum replies

[dreamdimples]

Oooooweeee…. I’m getting closer to the finish line 🙂
Got the Share Group Button to Finally work in the Group Page. 🙂
Got the Share button to Finally work in the Forum Page. 🙂
Cannot get the Share Button to work in Activity Page….yet 🙁

I sooooo love and need this script to work…. I will NOT give up 😀

With bbPress standalone plugin now handling all of BP’s group forum requirements this is more a question for bbp support really; however bbpress does provide a standard wysiwyg editor.

Generally, use whatever size images you want. Any slowdown is unlikely to be caused by images.

For more advice or help investigating why you feel your site’s performance is slow, pop over to the WordPress.org forums as this isn’t a BuddyPress-specific question. Thanks!

Sorry Hugo, I’m pretty new to buddypress. Will I untick this Group Forums (Legacy)under components.

[Hugo Ashmore]

If it’s a new install why are you mentioning legacy group forums, with 1.7 all forum activity is handled by bbpress, if you want group forums then that is enabled under bbPress settings. Older installs would have needed to migrate and then disable the forum component listed under BP settings page.

Post it here in a new topic and one of the mods will move it into the jobs forum. Make sure to include contact info.

I appreciate your response. I also appreciate that you personally have made a specific effort to help people find plugins that are up to date and work with BuddyPress – with your BuddyPlug plugin.

However, your response is typical of what I’ve seen here before. It’s actually somewhat condescending – and that’s just as disappointing and frustrating as the reality of trying to get these products to work as hoped.

The “It’s FREE!” response is lame. There are many free web products that are awesome – including all of those I just ranted about above. I’m not saying that the work being done here is not appreciated. I’m saying that I’m frustrated with the results I’m getting from this piecemeal approach to creating a website. If all of the pieces worked as advertised, integrated and up to date, I would be quite happy.

I’m sorry that feedback – even in the form of a small rant – is so typically dismissed here. Based on all of what I have read in the forums here, I feel confident in saying that there are countless others who feel the same way as I do.

Thanks so much for pointing out my options. Characterizing my post as useless is your prerogative. That’s too bad, as well.

[terraling]

Sorry, who’s going to contact me if I can’t post a job description?

I’m looking for reasons why forum posts are likely to generate the above error so I can make sure I don’t trigger it when I try to post again…

[shanebp]

You could post to this or some other forum with a note asking a moderator to move it to the jobs forum.

@bphelp

thanks for your reaction! May I ask which forum you exactly mean? Is is one of the forums of buddypress? I cannot find any forum with this name.. or is it a different website?

Thanks, Anne.

[giannisff]

Hello. @bphelp οf course I do not mind criticism when I it is in good mood. That is why we present the website in the forum. I find it really useful. And it would be even more useful if you would like you could be more specific. I sincerely appreciate it. Thanks for your time.

@henrywright-1 I agree with your remark, thanks!

[bp-help]

@anharmse
From the error above it looks like a bbpress error so you may want to post on the bbpress forum to see if they can help as well.

[Hugo Ashmore]

but that’s part of the issue , I simply don’t get why people regard changing the froum or group description as a relatively trivial aspect? A group description defines the group or forum and I would regard that as a higher level function. But yes until some means of further refining these two roles for the moment this is how they behave.

[imlazyone]

@hnla, thanks for the reply.

So for now Group Moderators could ONLY “Edit, close, and delete any forum topic or post in the group”, is that right?

My problem is that I would like to preserve the “Admin” role to some limited members so they can do like delete group, kick/ban/promote users and some other actions with “higher” privilege. While Group Moderator can simply perform some “normal” administrations like edit group details,

So it seems that it’s impossible?

[Hugo Ashmore]

Make them an admin, not sure why this aspect of mods vs. Admins caused so much confusion, I’m a mod on this forum and it really bugs me I can’t simply change all the forum names and descriptions at will as the fancy takes me 😉

An Admin has this ability not a Mod. if mods had this ability what really would be the point in the distinction? but all this is covered in that ticket.

[PERMAL]

thank you Renato
as a fact, I checked the tutorial but still can’t see some Buddypress features activated
in /SETTINGS/BUDDYPRESS I see only 3 Pages: there isn’t the FORUM page
also in the PAGES page under the group Directories I see only 3 lines: there is no FORUMS

SHOULD reason be found elsewhere …
