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 //
`, just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
I suggest that you also post at https://wordpress.org/tags/buddypress-activity-plus?forum_id=10
log in with same username and password
please do not post numerous topics about the same issue. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/bp-profile-redirect-question/
BuddyPress wouldn’t be affecting this at all. Try the wordpress.org forums.
There’s not much point in digging up a three month old topic, with a post like that. Closing thread.
agree, this forum is next to useless without a proper search function.
Well thanks a bunch – maybe we should all bow out and leave things to mercim then as no one else has ever contributed any help on the forum 
Hi Jason
Goodluck with your quest. BTW I like green!
I setup my WP site with BuddyPress around 12 months ago & I still do not have BuddyPress working as I want it!! This is very frustrating for me. I have not had great help on this site here except from Mercime who is helpful.
I am though determined to get BuddyPress going as I want with my WordPress site because I am stubborn! It is very tempting to use alternative php forum software. There are a few good ones around which you can add to your site & say bye bye to BuddyPress hassles & problems etc.
Anyway keep me posted on how you get along & maybe we can help each other on this?
Best wishes 
This is essentially a duplicate of this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/bp-profile-redirect-question/ which has had one response so please keep to that thread to avoid confusion.
Closing this thread.
@mercime: Thanks… change set 3654 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3654 looks interesting.
This is a major and awesome step in the right direction. Especially adopting the buddypress extension APIs. Excellent work !!! Now I need to figure what is needed to check it out.
3654 looks like it supports multiple forums per group. It looks like it also supports shared forums across groups.
I didn’t see anything to define a ‘preset’ list of forums on enable or group create.
Being able to define forums private to groups so they can’t be shared would be very useful, at least to remove clutter when you have many groups with 3-4 forums each.
It looks like forums can be part of categories (as a parent).
There’s only one Group Forum per Group with no hierarchy. As for Sitewide Forums (the bbPress plugin), these forums are not associated to groups at all at this time. It’s in the roadmap to refactor/migrate Group Forums to Sitewide Forums @ BP 1.6. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598
> You can’t start a group because there are no topics.
Sounds as though you are labouring under false issusion that you have to have forums active in groups – you don’t! You can have groups without forums , your users then use the activity stream for the group to hold ?discussions.
> Nothing but frustration.
Yet you have spent, thus far, so little time understanding the application you are trying to use – don’t jump the gun and vent your frustrations until you have spent a little time learning how something works, then you will be better able to judge whether something really is a frustration, in need of better explanation – go to it write codex guides, we need them
– , or simply your lack of understanding.
BP might ‘Work’ out of the box but that is a deceptive phrase, to make BP work for you you need to decide what you need it to do and configure it that way – out of the box simply means it functions in all it’s aspects – but that is including the kitchen sink – and that’s not always required.
`I wish there was more written about what buddypress can do and what the end result will look like. I don’t like the examples in the showcase because they don’t even remotely look like the buddypress that I have. I would love to see a very plain skeleton example of what buddypress does and how to set up a basic forum.`
BuddyPress has a test demo site [http://testbp.org] which will show you what it can do out of the box without doing any extra coding. The only way i can think of to put the end result into words is “It gives you a social network out of the box” (which is already on the BuddyPress.org homepage)
I’d highly recommend reading the Getting started pages on the codex https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/ go to page links on the right sidebar and read them
`For instance what is the difference between a forum and a post. They look exactly alike in the dashboard.`
As BuddyPress is an extension of WordPress, and is designed for WP users, is defining Blog Post and Forum Post necessary? I think your concern may be better at WordPress.org/forums as BuddyPress doesn’t define the word themselves, WordPress does.
`You can’t start a group because there are no topics.`
Are you using a plugin that makes topics a prequisite for starting a group? That’s not the way it works out of the box from my experience.
`Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little welcome page saying, “Here’s how to set up your buddypress forums. First you create a few groups. Then add topics to each group. You can’t add this until you add that so start with this.
I just want an overview so that I can know if I’m doing something wrong or if there is a problem with the software when I can’t add a forum or don’t see my topic.`
Seems you’ve already figured it out. As an open source project, You can contribute back what you learn by creating a codex article. https://codex.buddypress.org/ 
digging into the error log scared me

Just to put this even more clearly.
This happens with bbpress 2.0.2 plugin forum’s. This forums have not been installed through the BP forum settings admin panel, but rather through bbpress’ own dashboard panel.
Hope this helps a bit more
I can confirm no javascript error is encountered when I reply to a forum’s topic. Just checked with chrome’s debug console. The erroneous behaviour seems to be occurring consistently.
Will now check for PHP error logs
Anything in your web browser’s javascript console (if you know how to access it) when users reply to a forum topic? Anything added to your web server’s PHP error log? (Ask your host for help if you are not sure how to access that).
@energynet Go to https://bbpress.org/forums/ and log in using same username and password used here. Click on “Add New” link right after “Topics” title on that page.
Tina – see response in your post
@neononcon no secret, it takes a village to watch out for spammers in BPorg, WPorg bbPorg etc which share the same userbase. Volunteers report spam, Moderators delete spam posts, Admins delete so from the backend and so forth.
Based on the HTML 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 canvas child 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 `
`, just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
I’m not alone with this: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/add-tag-and-category-to-status-updates
But it shouldn’t be a plugin when P2 already has this ability built in…
That is a great looking site and looks pretty active. Did you pay for the theme? Also I want to ask how you are faring with the use of Groups and a Forum. Are users figuring out the differences between them? And are you getting any spam?
Along with tags for status updates, having the ability to select a group to post in from a dropdown box would be useful too.
Which leads to another thought. BP is too confusing. Groups, Activity Feed, Forum, etc. It doesn’t have to be so convoluted. This is why 9.9/10 BP sites are unsuccessful. It’s exciting to build it at first, only to realize that users don’t have a pleasant experience navigating the mess (and spam) and never return. Why not build the platform around the Activity Feed and Groups?
Thanks for the reply. I’m having trouble figuring out how to post in anything in the bbPress forum as there is no add new topic option…
