Hello,

I am new to BuddyPress and currently having this issue on my website. I understand that it will be fixed in the next version, but how can I fix it right now so my members will not have this issue? I’m not sure I understand what Trunk is. Hopefully someone can help!

[Jon Henwood]

In case anyone else is looking for an answer and comes across this post, this may help…

We found a solution of a sort.

What you need to do is include an automatic private message send to all group members except the person posting the topic. This private message then gets hooked in to the notification system and lets the user know they have a new message.

I just found this which seems to fix the problem I have: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-extras/

Thanks Paul.

Do I disable anything in BuddyPress or just install bbPress? Currently, there are forums under “Groups”.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

You have to use the separate bbPress plugin. It’s better.

BP is bundled with an old out of date version of bbPress, which we’re removing in the future.

[Ben Hansen]

there are plugins for bbpress not sure what else to say

[guiye]

Thanks, great job @dwenaus

Because traditional forums, have a lot more features to them take mybb for example.

By the way, i would like my forum space to be a little more large.

Is it possible to extend its width ? Or to make it responsive ?

Hi guys,

I think I have the same problem, just tried and tried many times to solve it, but it won’t work… I got this message:

Warning: require() [function.require]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/prima430/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress-sa.php on line 42

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ” (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/prima430/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress-sa.php on line 42

And the on config tab I got this:

Forums Settings
bbPress Configuration
Repair File does not exist
Absolute path to your bbPress configuration file.

I have bb-config at the root and just tried “/”, “/home/username/publica_html/” and nothing works…

Even if I deactivate bbpress and ask buddypress to uninstall group forums, the system reinstall it and the problem continues…

Any tip? Thanks and regards,

Thanks, Felipe

@joesell89 @bphelp Thanks Guys… yup.. it seems to be working.. I just dont want any “unintended consequences”, build out that sub_blog only to revert back. BUT, so far, everything looks cool. forums, member-group-forum search seems to all be working fine…

[homeschoolmommy]

is there a way to help solve this problem im having

[carmeetsroad]

@djpaul Thanks! That worked like a charm.. I promise.. i didnt cross post it on this forum. 🙂 — Ok.. so from now.. i promise to ask Welcome Pack questions on WordPress.org — and not here 🙂 Thanks Again!

[Ben Hansen]

not sure why you say bbpress is not traditional it has plugins and works basically the same as any other forum. i have not had much luck in the past (granted it was 2 years ago) integrating other site wide forum software with buddypress

[Hugo Ashmore]

Not a problem; cleared it out.

[tehk_maverick]

Just installed 1.7 on my site and I cannot see a single difference.

I appreciate there is the “any theme works”, which is major and the depreciation of the group forums. I can’t see anything else?

[homeschoolmommy]

sorry for the double post my mistake

[akgt]

or if there a theme to work better with bbpress

[Kevin M. Schafer]

Update

The site that won’t appear on the members directory is a site that I built using one of my e-mail addresses. I then created another user and made them an admin. They then changed the e-mail address and proceeded to start using it.

I have all settings on BP checked for full usability, as well as installing both types of forums.

I deleted the site that would not connect to the member directory, then asked that person to create it again, but this time do it themselves. Now, as a Super Admin, I will build the site, and I won’t have to hand it off to them when it’s ready. The new site now appears in the Members Directory.

This person is very patient and helps greatly with user experiences. She’s my Mother.

I can see you have created a mouse over drop down menu with the community page as the parent. As I’m sure you are aware, the community page is one that you created yourself, not one that Buddypress created during the BP wizard installation.

You have no content in your community page because you have not added any. If you need some, you could add some but I would suggest that if you don’t, you should just add a custom link instead.

The way to do this is to navigate to WP/Appearance/Menu’s:

In the custom links widget located in the left sidebar add a # as the URL and in the label box add the text – Community. Then add to menu and replace your current Community (Page Menu) with the new one. (Remove the old one and delete the community page if it is no longer needed.)

Other than that, all seems to look OK, your drop down menu with all the BP pages is showing and links to their pages seem in order.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for, sorry if I have misunderstood your question in any way.

As a suggestion perhaps you should consider altering the CSS in the theme to adjust your menu text. It is very hard to read. (The drop down links visibility are just fine) As for how to go about that, I would suggest asking the theme author over at Elegant Themes.

Also, if my answer was the one you were seeking, I would advise that the WordPress forums would be a better place to start in the future. (Unless, your question is directly BP related of course)

🙂

Untested but maybe this will work!
`
define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’groups’);
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav[‘profile’][‘position’] = 20;
$bp->bp_nav[‘forum’][‘position’] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav[‘posts’][‘position’] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav[‘activity’][‘position’] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav[‘blogs’][‘position’] = 60;
$bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘position’] = 70;
$bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘position’] = 80;
$bp->bp_nav[‘groups’][‘position’] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav[‘settings’][‘position’] = 90;
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘tricks_change_bp_tag_position’, 999 );

add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘tricks_change_bp_tag_position’,9 );
`

[bp-help]

@fatche@bluelf, @modemlooper removed this plugin from the repository unfortunetly! you could try creating a bp-custom.php file in yoursite/wp-content/plugins directory and add the following between opening and closing php tags:

define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’groups’);
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav[‘profile’][‘position’] = 20;
$bp->bp_nav[‘forum’][‘position’] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav[‘posts’][‘position’] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav[‘activity’][‘position’] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav[‘blogs’][‘position’] = 60;
$bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘position’] = 70;
$bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘position’] = 80;
$bp->bp_nav[‘groups’][‘position’] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav[‘settings’][‘position’] = 90;
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘tricks_change_bp_tag_position’, 999 );
}
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘tricks_change_bp_tag_position’,9 );

The numbers in increments of ten correspond to the order in which they will be listed in the navigation.

He made a custom forum page template that I upload in the theme’s folder, then i used this template for my forum’s page, and it worked 🙂

[@mercime]

What theme are you using? We might have template-packed it already.

Also, if you’ve only just begun developing the site, I recommend using BP 1.7 beta 1 instead = download beta at link https://buddypress.org/2013/02/buddypress-1-7-beta-1/

Deactivate BP Template pack plugin and delete the 6 BuddyPress folders transferred to your theme’s folder in server namely: activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, registeration
