#1. You should post about your new site at this forum https://buddypress.org/community/groups/gallery/forum/

#2. How can you be included in showcase/gallery when you have a closed/private community site? We’d have to register first to see what’s “unique” about your site, and that’s not kosher.

== What should I do to make sure it is added to the list? ==
#3. The BP Devs usually include sites with established communities.

@mercime The problem with 403 is solved after i deinstalled the group forums.
But the problem with not saving settings for new groups still exists. I also checked the apache error log. There is no error shown. It’s just not saving the settings and the profile image…

[@mercime]

– When you’re setting up BuddyPress and Group or Sitewide Forums, I suggest using the BP Default theme. After everything’s set up and running as expected, only then do you try out other themes.

– As far as Frisco theme goes, I’ve seen that the theme author has submitted new updated version in WP Theme Repo which will most probably go live (ready for public download) within a week at most.

[zacclay]

I would also like to do something like this and I am wondering if there’s an easier way to do it.

[@mercime]

You need to install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin to make any WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. Then you have to go through Appearance > BP compatibility process.

@flyj4ck Re Gonzo theme. Recently helped someone with the compatibility process and I assume it’s the same theme https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-issue/ If you have any issues after following the instructions, post in that thread.

Please be courteous.

[@mercime]

@marutim best place to ask and search in, is at BuddyDev forums.

Notes:
1. Other than BuddyPress, you do not need to install another plugin to make @sbrajesh BP MultiNetwork.
2. This plugin requires that you have BP-ready or BP-compatible theme activated in all the sites of your multisite install. I strongly suggest that you test this in say, 3 sites first, using the bp-default theme and only BP and BP Multinetwork plugins installed.
3. Back to original statement, best place to ask is at BuddyDev forums.

Hello Toby,

yes i know, but the normal bashing between people in my community is happening in messages, not the forum. It would be great to get this feature in buddypress. I think some people wait for that.

[Toby Cryns (@themightymo)]

Does it work with the default BuddyPress theme?

[Toby Cryns (@themightymo)]

There was/is a bbPress plugin for this functionality, but it would likely only work on bbPress-core forums.

I don’t know if the BuddyPress roadmap includes this functionality at present; perhaps a moderator can chime in on that piece.

[rezwiebel]

Hi again,

the problem with 403 is gone, after i deinstalled forums for groups.

But the problem with not saving settings when creating a new group is still there.
Maybe somebody has an idea?

@mercime – I did receive the email notification of your “@” reply.

[@mercime]

@themightymo checking if you received notification for this mention.

[rwkiii]

Dashboard -> Settings -> Forums, then Archive Slugs. If you see a red error next to Forums Base you will want to change that. Maybe to “sitewide-forums” or whatever. I’m not sure if this is the best answer or not. Hope it helps you.

[buddhatunes]

went ahead and emptied the database and deleted

[@mercime]

@smartchap16 That plugin won’t work on moving/changing activity stream updates to group forum topics. You’d either have to code this yourself, or hire a developer to do so.

[chibichiii]

Big kudos for you mort3n!

I was just about to trow my pc out of the window after putting so much effort in getting the group forums to work and finding out it only had a boring plain text editor…

You just saved my day thnx for it, worked like a charm and was so easy!

[chibichiii]

God I nearly lost my mind over this rediculous bug…going into desperate mode.
I had uninstalled, reinstalled all the group forums. I checked the bb-config, noticed that it did not have same database settings in it so deleted it. Went back to Buddypress settings > Forums and reinstalled a fresh group forum.
Then I tried posting a topic and it was STILL not working, when I finally found the tip here to uncheck, save the settings page, switched to Avatar, back to settings, checked the forum for that group again. Saved the settings once more and went to forums > new topic.
Finally I managed to post a topic.

But now guess what, the group forum uses no rich text editor. I cannot add html tags, not implement videos, pictures or anything else it’s just a boring plain topic poster.

Also it gives no function to subforums to organize your content properly so in fact all you get is a group > forums > topics. Which leaves a huge mess if you have a large fandom.

Now I’m wondering seriously…I did all those troubles went nearly depressed over this freeking thing only to find out it will probably not even be used because with a phpBB board as a proper forum and half of the social network functions not working who would want to?

So then we go to the option of using Sidewide forums, which is better because of the rich html text editor. But which lacks a certain amount of necesarry functionalities.

Like show unread posts, yes I am aware of the plugin BP Unread Posts from Pippin, but unfortunately this one does not work for sidewide topics. It’s supposed to show a link unread posts on the bbpress profile site, which does not excist anymore because it’s automatically replaced by the buddypress profile site and that one does not show show unread posts link anywhere.

If you check the forum tabs in your buddypress profile, you’ll notice that topics you post on the sitewide forum are not reconized. Leaving the profile page by saying you have no replies, no forums, no favorites added, if you have an active sidewide forum.

Now where is the use in that?

I loved the idea of buddypress, with a bbpress forum inside. I thought it was brilliant, that with the achievements plugin, gifts rebirth plugin, links plugin, media plugin, that I could actually build a great multimedia site offering something to my users that had never been offered before.

But instead I’m growing rather desperate running from one bug to another and having no idea how to fix these troubles. I’ve been trying for over a week now to get everything working…

And it’s still not even near to complete

[chibichiii]

I had this one as well it’s quite easy to fix really. The only trouble your having is that when you installed Buddypress it installed a forum page with permalink domain/forum <– being forum slug. Which was assigned to the group forum in the database.
You need to delete the complete page, also delete from trash, make a new page name it forum and it should be working with bpp-forum-index then.
I myself fixed it this way I made two forums; forums remaining to be the group forums and then I made a page Discussion forums and named it forum-2 then I set the base and slug in the bbpress settings on forum-2 and it was working again. Both group and sitewide.

Quote:

I still don’t completely understand what you mean.

bbPress Site Wide favorites don’t appear in the profiles at all yet, they will in 1.6/2.1. Same with topics and replies that are posted from within wp-admin. It sounds silly, but I didn’t feel it right to trigger activity updates when posting in the dashboard while bbPress 2.0 was still new. So these are less bugs than they are unfinished features.

Mentions work, and appear in activity streams and trigger notifications. testbp.org runs a vanilla install of everything, and they work there without issue.

The database update is a prompt you see in your dashboard. If you don’t see the prompt, then there’s nothing that needs doing.

So if I am understanding correctly, topics made in the backend of wordpress for the sitewide forums will not show under the forums tab in the members section?

I have also created a topic directly on the sitewide forums, not in the backend, named introductions. However if I look under my profile, at forums: it says no topics found.

So somehow the topics created in sitewide forums do not show in the members pages.

Is this an unfinished feature or a bug?

Cause it’s kind of hard to keep track of the published topics right now.

Why not define the from name in Gravity Forms rather than pull it dynamically?

NOTE: This might be a good question to ask over at the Gravity Forms support forum.

Absent a good alternative solution, you might try switching hosts. The link you provide indicates that the issue only appears on specific hosting setups.
