So if i use bbPress, in theory i could create a forum for each sub site then use something similar to the code you found to pull them into one page.

[Hiranthi]

Oh and if this has been covered in the forums multiple times: search isn’t working for me (I get redirected to the homepage with just ?s added to the URL, adding it manually to the URL results in a search results page with titles only and a search form as the content of every result).

[modemlooper]

bbPress can be network activated so each subsite can create forums but I’m not sure if the site wide forums option in BuddyPress can be network activated.

Googled and found this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multisite-displaying-forum-list/

== I want to all member only active in one (main) forum. ==

Then deactivate the Group Forums. Go to dashboard Settings > BuddyPress > Components and uncheck Discussion Forums. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#settings-buddypress-components

1. Sure. If you want the complaints to be private, just set up a contact form. If you want complaints to be public or semi-private set up Group and/or Sitewide forums.

2. You need the Domain Mapping plugin. Then you need either:
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ OR
– http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/
You’d have to ask plugin devs whether either or both are compatible with Domain Mapping plugin though I haven’t heard issues with either so far.

3. In either multinetwork plugins above, there are ways and means to do what you need – some coding required.

4. Yes, using either of the multinetwork plugin above, you do keep those components separate.

5. Yes, I posted both in #2

6. No, the networks do not have to use the same theme at all.

7. No limit to number of networks. One can only be limited by server and coding skills.

@mercime Great. Thank you for the explanation.

I think the Forum menu in buddypress display archieve of forum post from a member.
Is it possible to remove this menu since I don’t allow group have its own forum. I want to all member only active in one (main) forum.

And… how to remove bbPress Forum menu in the member’s dashboar?

I appreciate you helping me.

Hi, you can perhaps start by looking at this thread it should give you some pointers: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/using-the-wordpress-login-and-register-pages-instead-of-buddypress/

[Asynaptic]

if there is a conflict contact the respective plugin creators:
http://rtcamp.com/support/forum/buddypress-media/
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/

please use the correct forum to receive the fastest response

[kpolkson]

ok, i deactivated the bbpress plugin to uninstall sitewide themes. but I am still having the same problem, I can’t edit, delete or sticky a post as clicking on any of those links just go to the 404 not found page.

what else might I check?

thanks

@nstjwz Based on the structure of your theme, you need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your simpolio theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`

`

with
`

`

Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `

…

` or `

..

` to `

// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //

` and move to just right under “
Watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.

Save files.

@ juanlopez4691

Have you found any other solution or plugin dealing with this issue?

Can you share your network or websites’ url?

I am also looking for similar answers?

Thanks.

[modemlooper]

What items are you adding? Only profile links are hidden when logged out. If you add a link to say a forum topic it won’t be hidden.

There is a way to hide links. The current release is experimental. In next update there will be more items to add to a menu and I’ll explain how to hide other links on log out.

Please be patient, I’m testing different things to make it the best it can be.

@raetona Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make the BP templates compatible with your theme.

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your volt theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your volt theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

NOTE: If the following doesn’t work out for your installation as some options may not work within BP pages, please contact theme author and refer him/her to this topic.

A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`<?php
/* Fetch admin options. */
global $options;
foreach ($options as $value) {
if(isset($value) && isset ($value))
if (get_option( $value ) === FALSE) { $$value = $value; } else { $$value = get_option( $value );}
} ?>

`

Save file.

@nggablog What you have in your main navigation – Forum > Gossip & Celebrity, etc. are from your Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin). In the meantime, daniabrooks has not joined a Group with a forum and therefore has not posted any forum topics yet.

[HorrorUK]

I don’t mind other users coming along and signing up, it’s just that I don’t want them being able to write on the forums if they are not a member of the group

[nggablog]

@mercime

Thank you so much. The error has gone.

But, what does the functions of buddypress’s forum?
I didn’t find any content/forum post even a member have some posting in the main forum (bbpress).

“Sorry, there were no forum topics found.”

[guzh]

Thanks
I manage to convert SMF to phpbb and from phpbb to bbPress. However I didn’t like the bbPress-forum.. and somehow the different boards from SMF and phpbb didn’t work out in bbPress..
Is there some way to connect either SMF or phpbb to buddypress?
I found this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/
and that might be a solution, but I think it would be better if it was more integrated with buddypress

[@mercime]

== option for sitewide forums to the left of that looks like it is not installed, the button says ‘configure sitewide forums’. ==

Sitewide Forums is bbPress plugin. Sitewide forums is activated in your installation, otherwise the button would show “Install Sitewide Forums”

Please make sure that your Group and/or Sitewide Forums are configured properly https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

[@mercime]

You can post at plugin’s forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-plus > click on Support tab

[@mercime]

That’s customized bbPress forums which would require you to copy over and modify bbPress template files and tweak some styles. Check out https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[@mercime]

There are themes which disable core WP or BP widgets to replace it with their own. I’ve done it myself for custom themes. Have you checked out in theme’s forums or contacted theme author about this issue?

[kpolkson]

@mercime Good question. I don’t believe I have Sitewide and Group forums installed at the same time. When I go to the forums tab of the Buddypress set up, I see that group forums are installed and the button says ‘uninstall group forums’ whereas the option for sitewide forums to the left of that looks like it is not installed, the button says ‘configure sitewide forums’.

I do have bbpress plugin installed alongside buddypress (i thought that was required for the group forums). but I don’t think sitewide is activated (nor do I need it activated).

Any ideas?

thanks. -kp

@bibliata It could be a template problem because it might need to be upgraded for compatibility with BP 1.6+. Have you checked out theme author’s forums if others are having the same issue?

On the other hand, could also be the widgets/plugin. What widgets are you trying to add to static front page? Are these default WP or BP widgets or widgets by other plugins?
