Please folks, we say this time and time again, but you must start your own thread on an issue even if it’s similar to another, hijacking threads is considered a bad practise.

== there wasn’t the same as the one on my front page.==
The wp_nav_menu (custom menu) defaults to wp_page_menu If you have no custom menu associated with the Primary menu

Create your custom menu for BP the same way you create for WP menu.

@kiddie Check if your premium theme has already been “template-packed” in these forums at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

If yes, then follow instructions posted therein and post here if you have issues.

If not, let us know what the name of the theme is. Then open up your theme’s header.php, copy all, paste all at pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated pastebin URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

@ashokgolusu as Fotobook is a WordPress plugin and doesn’t interact with BuddyPress specifically, you might get a better response from the WordPress forums – https://wordpress.org/tags/fotobook?forum_id=10

Hey Hugo,

I’ve got the bb-config next to wp-config in the root dir. Checked all DB settings and they are matching. Still getting the issue though.

[Lee Klimes]

After I installed BP when I went to Appearance>Menus the menu there wasn’t the same as the one on my front page. I deleted the menu in Appearance > Menus thinking maybe I could import the menu that was on my front page. No luck. How can I manage my menu now????

[abbas667]

any hep????

[ddart]

Here is the address of all versions of BP ….

Hope you get better and you.

@teorourke Based on initial scan, you only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress.

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your swagger theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your swagger 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.

[Hugo Ashmore]

it’s something I’ve mentioned a few times on threads of this nature, you need bb-config in your root next to wp-config if the BP group forum install doesn’t move it then copy it over and ensure it has same DB details as wp-config

[xcentriq]

I think I didn’t have the bb-config in my root cause I had previously installed bbpress and I clicked on use existing installation. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it via buddypress and now I’ve got one. I’m yet to check the details against wp-config. Will update here!

[xcentriq]

Ok I see my problem here. I don’t have a bb-config.php in my root directory. When I find the bb-config, it’s in “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/” AND “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums” and the file says:

***
* *** IMPORTANT ****
* This file will stop people from accessing your bbPress installation directly.
* It is very important from a security standpoint that this file is not moved.
* Your actual bb-config.php file will be installed in the root of your WordPress
* installation once you have set up the forums component in BuddyPress.
*/

//header(“HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden”);

So in there it says that my actual bb-config is located in my root dir, but I actually don’t have one there. Can I just copy that file over to my root or can I duplicate wp-config and rename to bb-config? Or is there more to it?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

You want to use Group Forums, not Sitewide Forums, right?

[@mercime]

@owen_a Based on initial scan, you only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress.

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your Easel theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your Easel 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.

Thanks for getting back to me..

– Where do you expect to see this layout to be rendered?
ideally..this should be on the main site as a main category page..
and not inside a forum or group page. but we are flexible.

– Are those featured images which link to a post/page/post-type?
no. those are just images that the member uploads to the group.

– Data for the page coming from a single WP installation or from WP multisite blogs?
Single install

[@mercime]

== can this be custom developed? ==
Looks do-able. However, you have to be clearer about the following, among others::
– Where do you expect to see this layout to be rendered?
– Are those featured images which link to a post/page/post-type?
– Data for the page coming from a single WP installation or from WP multisite blogs?

To hire a developer:

thank you Deleted User, but the problem not fix

[@mercime]

@tank2012 did you install and activate BP Template Pack plugin first to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility to finish?

Did you follow the instructions above?

If you already did so, post site URI so we could see what’s not working with your theme and BP template files.

[jetgirlart]

so where do I get a copy of BuddyPress 1.2.10? I’m using a brand new install as well and get 404’s when I try to go to the group admin page, the thing made a group page (which is empty).

@lovefishing
@djpaul

You’re both right, actually.

First off, HostGator gives you incredibly little memory and CPU on their low-end plans. Like… 64MB RAM and 1/128 of a core. It’s nearly impossible to run anything more than a test site on an entry-level HostGator plan.

I currently run most of my BP sites on MediaTemple, and absolutely love them. They’re a lot more expensive ($25+ a month) than HostGator, but you get what you pay for: 512MB RAM, a full CPU core, root access, and the best technical support I’ve ever worked with.

As for BuddyPress, I’m currently watching a BP site with 1300 members, four active users plus a search robot, and caching disabled, *saturate* the above server.

So I’d say yes, BuddyPress probably has substantial CPU usage.

We’ll learn more about what’s causing that as we get unit testing merged into the BP core …but that’s something we’ll discuss on the TRAC not the forums.

^F^

[Hugo Ashmore]

Although naturally it’s Mercims decision to help in any way she would like, please bear in mind that this is a volunteer help and support forum, and asking for people to do work for free is sometimes asking a bit too much

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Oh, my.

Changing the chmod of wp-content to 777 won’t actually *break* your site, but maybe something else happened at the same time. I’d suggest popping into the multisite forums at WordPress.org, and searching/asking for anything similar.

[@mercime]

@gospelcast let’s take it back to your post

[lovefishing]
