It’s just this site that doesn’t work.

http://testbp.org works a bit better, but I still don’t think there’s any searching of forums on there.

But PollDaddy won’t work for Updates or Forum posts?

[Sven Lehnert]

Hello everyone,

Sorry for your discomfort.
We missed it to test the theme properly enough against BP 1.6 and feel sorry for it.

We are now working with 2 devs on a new version to support 1.6 and fix some overdated issues.

New version will be available around next week.

I will post it here in the forum when the new version is released.

Thanks to Paul Gibbs for pointing us on this.

Buddypress 1.6, using the BuddyPress Default theme. The user is shown as banned in the Admin > Members list. The user cannot create forum topics, forum replies, or write new updates in the group. In a green box underneath the group description it states “You have been banned from this group.” when that user visits the group. It’s a public group. The banned user can still read everything, and he can reply to activity feed entries.

This was possible on previous versions of buddypress (1.5.6 i think) and I was wiping and re-installing wordpress and buddypress on two different servers (local and online) both producing the same results with fresh installs. I really had nothing to do that day… My site ended up only using private groups and I thought this was intended so I didnt mention it before.

Yes, if you are using Genesis Connect, please go to the Studiopress forums for an update.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Not out of the box. If you are creating a *brand new* BuddyPress site, you don’t need to use the Group Forums at all. I recommend that you:

1) Go to Settings > BuddyPress > components, disable the “Group Forums” component. Save.
2) Go to the Pages menu, and delete the “Forums” page which BuddyPress would have created for you.
3) Go to Settings > bbPress settings, and scroll right down to the bottom. You’ll see a box labelled something like “enable BuddyPress integration”. Tick it, save.
4) That’s all!

@queenieb Which plugin was causing problems?

[@mercime]

@queenieb glad you resolved it too Marking this as resolved.

[@mercime]

Recommend that you post questions specific to sitewide forums/bbPress plugin at https://bbpress.org/forums/

[tvanes]

it’s meant to be a site wide forum. I don’t have a need for groups.

[queenieb]

@mercime, thanks for that suggestion. I will definitely test with the bp-default theme first from now on. I appreciate your help. Q!

[queenieb]

Found the problem. It appears that one of my plugins was the culprit. All is well now. WHEW – Finally! Thanks Guys for trying to help. Q

[Barry]

Thanks for all the help and feedback – this support forum is great!

Having had so many minor problems pop up, I decided to try and remove wordpress and start over. The reason was because I had done a scripted install via cPanel using “QuickInstall”.

So I did a manual install of wordpress, then installed BuddyPress, then installed BBPress.

Happy to report all the issues I had before are gone. Everything seems to be working as it should.

Agains, thanks for all the help!

[JackTheKnife]

Thanks for directing me to a proper forum.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Are you using group forums or site forum?

[@mercime]

@q5sys
1. Install bbPress plugin (sitewide forums)
2. There is a phpbb3 converter Read https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/phpbb3/
2. Have conversion done.
3. Double-check/test that conversion to bbPress is seamless
4. Install BuddyPress.
5. Read https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Also know that Group Forums (custom bbPress 1.0) will be merged/switched over to bbPress plugin 2+ (sitewide forums) come BP 1.7 or so.

[Presence Films]

Paul, OK, I get that.

I get a little on edge when the wingnuts fall off the car wheels, the prescription medicine makes all my hair fall out or the new upgrade crashes the site. I’m like that. I’ll get a punching bag or something and quit talking it in the forum. Only constructive stuff from now on.

Do remember your own advice when the wingnuts fall off your wheels and the car service department asks you to be constructive. ( Laugh…. I had to). ;o)

[@mercime]

@queenieb I test every install with bp-default theme before activating other plugins or adding new theme. I was going to check out the issues in your site but the username/pw you gave above is invalid

[somosguatemala]

@shawn38 thanx!! Well i can see it good in internet explorer and opera aswell

[Austin Nichols]

Is there a way to add this to my custom functions.php so I don’t have to edit the template?

[notpoppy]

@r-a-y OK that didn’t quite work for me but this did:

`function enable_nav_item () {

global $bp;

if ( $bp->groups->current_group->id == MY_GROUP_ID )
return true;
else
return false;
}`

I’m not sure why this worked – I got the idea from this old thread. It would be good to know why if someone can explain it to me.

The way I see it, in order to complete this I now need to create individual versions of the complete code for each group where I require these custom tabs. I am sure there’s vastly more elegant ways of doing this but with my meagre PHP knowledge this is the best I can muster for now!

[Roger Coathup]

This question has nothing to do with BuddyPress.

Please ask on the RocketTheme, or a basic CSS / HTML forum. Or simply search ‘IE conditionals’ in Google

[9087877]

@karmatosed @ somosguatemala I can see it in firefox and in chrome just fine. Looks great somosguatemala!

[somosguatemala]

hmm that’s odd! On the side bar there is a lot of stuff like my Facebook, Twitter, comments, and RSS space i have my members and site stats and an add plus other stuff? you don’t see that?

[jotamus]

Okay, I went in and manually deleted the bbpress plug and bb-config file. what else should I look for when cleaning this out for installation of the site-wide forums? Thats all this site really needs.
