I think the OP means searching the forums right here on buddypress.org. Like hatiro, I’m wondering the same thing.

[David Cavins]

A popular way to do this is with a plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=search+bbpress

Some integrate the bbPress search with the WP search, some keep them separate; both ways make sense on different sites.

Ok – I must have done something wrong somewhere so I am going to go though this step by step so you can tell me what I did wrong. Pages are coming up blank. I did this on my other site http://IndyGrapevine.com with a clean install of WP then added the BuddyPress plug in and went though the steps to activate.

I downloaded to my hard drive the 6 files that you stated above
wp-content/themes/ifeaturepro/activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration

Then I changed each of the 16 files with the codes that you supplied.
Then I uploaded those files back to wp-content/themes/ifeaturepro
went to dashboard and finished with the installation.
This is a link of one of the new files that I created per your instructions so you can see what I did
http://pastebin.com/pKDwGDq2

http://indygrapevine.com is up and running so that you can see that none of the pages except the home page works. Thanks for all your help with this I owe you.

Yes! Good question.

[sarahgoetz]

ooo, found an answer, of course, a few more posts down:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/allow-admin-to-edit-users-profiles/

r-a-y said 1 year, 0 months ago:
Super admins can edit any member profile by default.

When logged in as the super admin, check out the BuddyBar at the top of the site, there should be an “Admin Options” menu when you’re on a member’s page. Hover over this menu, next click on “Edit username’s profile” to edit the full profile of the user in question.

—

For the “user notes” field, did a quick search to see if such a plugin existed, but could not find one. However, it shouldn’t be too hard to write such a plugin.

Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your iFeature theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /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: http://pastebin.com/h0RCY8rX
Updated 050812 — Simplified with right sidebar
`

<div class="post" id="post-“>

`

Save files.

B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php): http://pastebin.com/yqnMPAQD
Updated: 050812 — Simplified with right sidebar
`

`

with the following for registration/register.php: http://pastebin.com/q7te52hk
Updated 050812 — Simplified with right sidebar
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save files.

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you revised up to your server wp-content/themes/ifeature/

D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ to the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust styles to taste after.

mercime,

Thank you for your feedback. I went through the criteria for steps before installing and I fit the bill as far as the criteria to check before activating BuddyPress. Everything was working beautifully until I migrated my site to a Dedicated server. As far as other functionality, everything else works with ease and to be expected with BuddyPress.

I “soft launched” my site yesterday and have about 20 or so users, so it’s not a problem. But if you recommend anything, that would be great.

In the interim, I am going to reinstall first, the buddypress and deactivate the additional plugins that push buddypress to see if there is a plugin that isn’t playing nicely. Also, please feel free to take a look around (“the strength” is my friends list and “beerstrong activity” is the activity list”) and perhaps you may notice the way it’s behaving, if there’s an issue.

I appreciate your patience with me. Thank you.

Last I heard, this was supposed to be addressed in BuddyPress 1.6 where there will be better integration with bbpress 2.0. Where that process stands I have no idea. I ran into the same problem myself and wound up NOT using forums inside BuddyPress and instead am using the bbpress plugin. It’s ugly and very basic, but at least it works.

[@mercime]

== I did install through the one click installation. ==

WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated. – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

[@mercime]

Which bbPress forum are you referring to — internal bbPress forums used for Group forums or bbPress 2.+ plugin used for Sitewide Forums?

If you’re referring to Group forums, if you’re using a WP theme, you need to install BP Template Pack plugin, then adjust the HTML structure of the forums in BP template files to render the layout you want.

If you’re referring to the Sitewide forums, then there should be no problem at all.

Have you tried changing to bp-default theme to see if issue is corrected?

Hugo,
My sincerest apologies. I am embarrassed to have been so abrasive and adamant about my issue. Looking at the post and the manner of which they were posted is not me. So again, thank you for responding and understand that I have taken note and will be more patient in the future.

Being said, I have the latest WP and the latest BuddyPress installed. I did install through the one click installation. I purchased the “Salutation” theme from Parallelus and before I migrated my site to a dedicated server I was able to create groups and forums as a user. I will go through each plugin associated with BuddyPress and assure there isn’t anything I missed.

I will post me result.

Thank you again, Hugo.

[Hugo Ashmore]

Boone is a core developer of BP and posts on this BP support forum, can you post a link to the stackoverflow post for completeness and for others if they happen across this thread looking for same help.

I didn’t and still don’t really get you requirement here or why the include function and not get_sidebar or template_parts but yes is_page() works on components and, as I clearly missed the point, if you just wanted to target actual profile screen then either of what you had or have should work.

Glad it’s sorted though

Closing topic as this is the third posting on the subject. Please stick to the thread I replied to on this issue.

[Hugo Ashmore]

Oh and please don’t write in caps, it’s not necessary and does not get you any quicker attention. Writing in all caps is considered shouting and impolite

[Hugo Ashmore]

It helps if you try and supply a little detail to your post, what setup have you got , versions etc, what have you tried thus far i.e have you followed all the steps to set up these aspects in the BP settings. Are you using a custom theme if so have you performed essential basic step of reverting to the bp-default theme with any plugins installed that may conflict disabled and does the issue still exist then when running a basic standard install.

When you say re-install via ftp how did you originally install? Via a one click control panel install? if so then, yes do perform a fresh install, but after checking issue still exists with default setup

[b1gft]

I like it. How did you do the drop down menus on the groups, forums ect tabs. I like that.

[@mercime]

@zeshan87 Did you enable group forums in each group settings? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#forums-faqs

[@mercime]

@pfelberg I know you wanted the second option. But based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Minimatica theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /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
`

<article id="post-” >

`

Save files.

Are you using the default WP theme or a custom theme?

I had the same issue (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/feature-requset-global-rename-abilty-for-the-word-group/) and I was given a number of solutions. A few replies down, Paul Gibbs showed how to change/make a new language file. That should work.

My problem was that I was using a custom theme and the theme files had to be edited. Hopefully you’ll find what you need at the link I posted. Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by @modemlooper but not sure what that means, I don’t know php (which is why I’m asking for help).

The snippets above work, but they use the default text for new blog posts in the activity when the custom post types are added.

I have tried adding an the action and type parameters into the array, but that didn’t work – it didn’t record the update to the cpt, but I think I’m writing array wrong.

Here’s a link to the snippet I tried for that, (unfortunately, BP.org isn’t letting me post code into this thread anymore for some reason, keeps returning an error, so you’ll have to go to the other thread where I’m asking for help): http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/need-some-php-help-custom-post-types-and-buddypress#post-191533
