Thank you for your interest in the problem here sir
Step 3. All done! Configuration settings have been saved to the file bb-config.php in the root of your WordPress install.

One more step required:

When I went into existing groups I had to turn off Discussion Forums for each group and turn back on to get it to work.

[GordonRe]

After experimenting with some of the suggestions here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-forums-group-forums-not-working/?topic_page=2&num=15 [which may work for others?] I deleted BuddyPress and bbPress and resintalled only BuddyPress.

I think created a new group and turned off enable forum and then turned it back on.

At last I have created my first topic.

NB when deleting and reinstalling BuddyPress
a. for some reason the BuddyPress and bbPress directories (folders) were not deleted [ie viewing using FTP program …./Plugins/BuddyPress still existed – so I renamed that folder even tho FTP says it doesn’t exist.

To short cut that I deleted the bbPress folder using FTP and I also made sure that bb-config.php was gone from the root.

b. When I reinstalled BuddyPress the ‘nag’ referred to in the Codex [https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/] did not appear and all my settings were as they had been EXCEPT that Group forums were not installed [which was what I wanted]. So I reinstalled them and hey presto everything seems to work.

Isn’t this what happens / is supposed to happen when you make the group a private group at [Group name/Admin/Settings – on the front of the site accessible if you are logged in as site administrator/group administrator?

” This is a private group
Only users who request membership and are accepted can join the group.
This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.”

You need to convert SMF into bbPress. bbPress is a forum, like SMF, so you need to convert from like-to-like. I’m not sure if bbPress has an importer for SMF, but check it out: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

@mercime Thanks so much for your response! I did attempt to add them to categories, and these are the results I receive. Not exactly what I’m looking for, but we’re getting closer.

http://stonerapproved.com/forums/

The following user is using BuddyPress/bbPress Forums… I’m guessing they customized a lot of the code themselves. But this is exactly what I’m looking for. How the Forums are separated into categories. It’s very clean, and organized, and you get the bigger preview for each forum inside of each category.

THANKS!

I am just learning MultiSite WordPress myself. So far I’ve learned that if I want to edit Templates or Plugins pages for another site, I first have to activate the Theme I want to make changes to as my first level site, the Admin Site, or Edit the Plugin via the Admin site. Then, I go under the Main/Admin Site and edit the Templates or Plugin. After I have everything looking good, then I activate the Theme or Plugin for the actual site where I want to use the Template or Plugin. One must use this method (based on my learning) if one wants to use an external Editor, such as Dreamweaver.

I did notice that the access to the Activity, Sites, Forums, et al only show up in WordPress’s Tool Bar (the dark gray bar at the top of the page) under my Profile Link on the far right, when I am Logged In. I think this part is not clear in the directions, imo. After the initial install of BuddyPress MultiSite, I was able to see a couple of the BuddyPress pages links in the Main Menu of my top Site only after I am logged in.

Since I know I want to edit my Theme for one of the Sites, I have not enabled the separate tables for the additional site. I am going to edit the Theme first and then enable the other sites using the method described at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/using-multisite-with-buddypress/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite/ .

I’ll try to search WordPress forums.
Thanks

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Have you searched the WordPress.org forums? That’s the better place, as this doesn’t seem to be related to BuddyPress.

[@mercime]

== or if it just doesn’t work that way ==

Not exactly, But first, you need to create categories for the forums https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum then proceed from there. Best get assistance or more information at https://bbpress.org/forums/

[@mercime]

@kpolkson Just to clarify, you have Sitewide Forums and Group Forums installed at the same time and clicking on the administrative links for Group Forums single topic page like delete/edit doesn’t work?

[@mercime]

== you still are not taken to the registration page. Your redirected to your site’s home page. ==

@laidir This happens when you go to the registration page while you’re still logged in. Log out first.

I also get the same message. Up to date on all versions… WP, BP, bbPress.

[GordonRe]

I’m having the same problem [can’t create a new topic get the error message: error message: ”This group does not have a forum setup yet” with a much simpler and more up to date set up. BP1.6.1. 4 groups. Have disabled all plugins but BuddyPress and bbPress and changed to default theme. Will post a new thread.

[9087877]

Okay here is the new links from WordPress.
1.) BuddyPress Remove Auto Links

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-remove-profile-autolinks/

2.) BP Admin Bar For Admins Only

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-adminbar-for-admins-only/

3.) BuddyPress BuddyBar Back

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-buddybar-back/

Note: Again please keep in mind these plugins are meant for beginners, not for more experienced programmers! Hopefully when a question gets asked on the forum how do you do what these small plugins can do you can just point them to the plugin. Thanks!

Solution found here:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/problem-with-profile-information-please-help/?topic_page=1&num=15

If any of your profile fields are asking for links, however, and your users input http://, you’re still going to get the same nofollow craziness!

Thanks @shanebp!

Nobody has any suggestions on how to rebuild the database without doing it manually?

[Robert77]

Looks like we are still waiting on this issue, there is another post here that I started:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/emoticons-not-displaying-correctly-buddypress-1-6-1/

Obviously this is a repeatable bug in buddypress..

[@mercime]

@nggablog go to dashboard Settings > BuddyPress > Settings panel — Forum Setttings – bbPress configuration -> make sure you have the correct “Absolute path to your bbPress configuration file.”

[nggablog]

@mercime

I found bb-config.php in the root.
DB/user information is correct

What the next to do?

[kpolkson]

Could it have something to do with Groups being set to page Groups and Discussion being set to a new page called Group-Forums?

[@mercime]

@charlietech you have a theme issue and you should post at sayontan’s aquoid forums

[@mercime]

== I have a repair button. It says I need to add buddypress pages manually. I really do not know what to do. Please help! ==

You can create a Page (Pages > Add New) for each BP component you activated. Then go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and select the page you created for each component then click save.

== to install BP for cubepoints integration. ==

Post at plugin’s forums at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/cubepoints-buddypress-integration/forum/

I am having the same problem. From what I have noticed, this is a bug related to the new version of BuddyPress. I noticed people having the same problem commenting on other forums as well.
