I made changes to the WP Admin Bar by adding this snippet to my theme’s functions.php file:

// Customize WP Toolbar
function change_toolbar($wp_toolbar) {
$wp_toolbar->remove_node('my-account-forums');
}

add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'change_toolbar', 999); 

You can remove any individual li by getting the id of it (in your case the li has the id wp-admin-bar-my-account-forums) and dropping the prefix wp-admin-bar-. The part where you remove the prefix is odd and makes it kind of a secret, but it works. I got the original idea here: http://www.sitepoint.com/change-wordpress-33-toolbar/

To display extended profile fields in the members directory, it’s easiest to add a function to your theme’s functions.php file. My theme is based on the bp-default theme, so in my file /wp-content/themes/theme-name/members/members-loop.php, there’s this action at the end of each member’s entry that we can hook into:

Open up your functions.php file and add something like this:

function add_member_custom_extended_profile() {
if ( $xprofile_tele = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Telephone' ) ) {
echo 'Telephone:' . $xprofile_tele . '
';
}
}
add_action('bp_directory_members_item', 'add_member_custom_extended_profile'); 

You can get the exact field name to use by looking at a member’s profile page and copying the text in the left-most column.

I originally got this idea from here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bp-add-profile-field-data-to-members-directory-with-links

You could create an empty text file called /wp-content/plugins/walled-garden.php, paste the following into it, then activate the plugin:
`
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Buddypress Walled Garden
Plugin URI: http://www.example.com/
Description: A brief description of the Plugin.
Version: 0.1
Author: http://www.example.com/
Author URI: http://www.example.com/
License: A “Slug” license name e.g. GPL2
*/

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

// if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )

bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}

add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘groups_action_group_feed’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);

?>`
Tested in bp 1.6.1

The plugin should not have spaces, blank lines, or anything else before “ and use a simple text editor ( like this ) rather than a wordprocessor….

– – –

To have a different menu for logged in users is slightly more complicated.

You need to find the template bit that shows the menu.

In the current bp-default theme header.php file is the following
`
false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) ); ?>
`
which can be replaced by
`
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
}
?>
`
Then create the secondary menu in the wordpress menu admin…..

Please backup files and database before trying this out in case there are complications. It would be better to try out on a test/dev site first …..

It might be a bbPress bug. You should start a discussion on the bbPress forums at bbpress.org, as the bbPress plugin handles all the integration with BuddyPress (rather than the other way around).

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

mix35, did you run the upgrade wizard after install? See megainfo’s link.

Can you create another post about your forum topic titles, and explain in a bit more detail? Thanks.

[mix35]

I have the same problem. And after I updated the buddypress the topics of my forum was lost. How can this be recover?

[@mercime]

@kooba Confirmed that based on the HTML structure of your theme, you will be 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 basic theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your basic 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.

Well I don’t know what has caused my theme format to break-something to do with either the bbPress or BuddyPress plugin update. JJJ doesn’t think it is bbPress and yet you appear to think it is-a bit confusing.When I updated the plugins I got that error message and then I tried to get back to my theme & admin pages by renaming plugins and then ended up with the theme displaying in it’s broken state. Are bbPress & BuddyPress meant to integrate together? I thought they were meant to.
I would like to figure out what has broken my theme and would appreciate some help with it as of course if I could do it on my own I wouldn’t be posting here and on other forums asking for help!
Simples really…-can someone please help me fix/restore my theme format? Many thanks

[mystica]

ok, i found the solution in this post

[thanoulai]

Another problem is the bp register page title, description, and key word belong to the post title description and keyword. another problem is i cant post the new topic on my wpmu and bp site any idea here.

@hkcharlie Sometimes it only takes posting in the forums to find the answer on your own Thanks for posting your solution. Marking this as resolved.

[Theonlytexaspete]

Apologies, I have looked, but just seem to cant get the forum to display on the forum page. Have created 2 forums and 2 topics but do not appear anywhere on the page?
Thanks
Alexei

@theonlytexaspete No bumping pls. Check out the Codex for Group/Sitewide Forums or use google in the meantime.

[vnmember]

OMG @neononcon please tell me how I could be forgiven for my silly delay? Chaos ‘s reigned in my world for a couple of months and I forgot about Buddypress until it turns to wonderful 1.6.
– Yeah, Theme paid.
– Too bad I did not notice about the confused users when both Sidewide and Group’s forums are enabled and now I do not know how to do. But I wonder why Buddypress team does not make this better blending the use of them.
– No spam! Wangward, Akismet and WordPress Hashcash have destroyed them while I was having coffee.

PS: For anyone who wants to ask me questions, mention me, otherwise I may miss you.

[Susan Adams]

Two things..first, terrified to update..last one cost me tons of work..crashed everything. Second, this is directly to George: Your BP Lots Feeds..accommodates my need for feeds in Forums..does it still work with the new updates? Not been updated for a while.
If the Buddypress 1.6.1 has forums feed already, where the heck do I find them.
Susan

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

This doesn’t seem to be a BuddyPress question. Does cometchat have support forums you could ask?

In general, if you can’t find a bit of markup in your theme, just add it.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Worry about your site, and your content, not Google. Let Google worry about Google.

[kristarella]

Yeah, I found that the search box on this site is broken too. Also the sidebar login widget redirects you to the home page instead of the page you were on, which is super annoying.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure you can use Google to search this site. use “your search term site:buddypress.org”

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

If you’re moving forum content, you probably want to be migrating to bbPress rather than BuddyPress. Check it out, especially its importers — it should give an idea of the appropriate APIs to use.

[Austin Nichols]

that’s all superstition created by people trying to sell junk seo advice. there are a few things you can do to help google such as site maps etc. but even without them google is really good at crawling sites. create a well designed site with good content and seo will take care of itself.

we use google search to power all our searches on our site including forums, members etc. using Refinement Tabs (one day i’ll create a tut). it indexes very well.

I was sooo looking forward to this, but now I can’t seem to find it

Setup WP 3.4.1, BP 1.6.

Upgraded an existing BP installation with group forums only.

Used to achieve this functionality with plugins Ultimate TinyMCE and U BuddyPress Forum Editor. Doesn’t work on my new setup.

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers

[miguelcortereal]

Not sure if ThemeKraft team is aware of this one.

I’m using:
WP 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.6
Frisco Theme

I’ve just installed your SeoPress plugin and Group Forum topics got messed.
It allows to create new topics, shows them, but doesn’t allow to delete or even consider it as existing.

Once one topic is created and viewing it on its topic page, title doesn’t show and instead shows (0 Posts). When deleted, gives a not found page.

Deactivating the plugin everything gets normal.

Looking for the updated version of this wonderful plugin.
