Missed it previously.,I see it now. BP components must be parent page levels in “Page Attributes” at this time. If you want to “show” that Members and Group Pages are under Forums, the use custom menu and position the Members and Group Pages under Forums

@chrisclayton Can you help me with this: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/caps-look-in-the-username-field/ ??

Activity update’s comment boxes.

I’m using Huddle (http://themeforest.net/item/huddle-wordpress-buddypress-community-theme/835549) but I’ve asked on the forums and the answer was:

“This was the default functionality from BuddyPress original theme, and we kept this.
We don’t plan to do this soon, but if this functionality will be added we will announce this on forum”

[frostdawn]

I guess it’s back to using bbpress and attempting to style it up so it doesn’t look so bad?

[frostdawn]

Thanks for the update Boone. Is there a rough ETA on BP 1.6? The reason I ask is I’m working on a site that is due soon, and I’m really fumbling with forums right now.

Also- still can’t create forum topics in groups forums OR sitewide. Any suggestions?

Thanks again

[Boone Gorges]

Right now, BP is transitioning between an old version of bbPress (1.x) to the newest version (2.x), which is totally rewritten. The implementation of Sitewide Forums in BP 1.5 uses bbPress 2.x, while group forums use 1.x. (Complicated, I know ) The appearance and integration of sitewide forums will be much improved in BP 1.6, where we’ll have written the code necessary for bbPress 2.x to replace all forums in BP.

In the meantime, I suggest only using *either* Sitewide Forums or Group Forums. You could probably do some work to hack them together in a more seamless way, but much of the work will be done for you in the next major BP release.

[frostdawn]

I’m anxious to hear a response on this as well. I used bbpress for forums initially, but using that with BuddyPress it’s ugly as sin and there isn’t a forums directory page to display all the active forums (otherwise it did work). The interface for the forums inside BuddyPress looks very nice, but from sitewide forums, I couldn’t actually create any forums.

Options currently are:
a forum that works but is awful looking (bbpress)
a forum that looks nice but isn’t really working; at least ‘out of the box’ (BuddyPress)

You’re welcome.

== group forums, where can I set it up? ==

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

[markyeoj]

I ran again the bp compatibilty process, but worst things happen,, the pages of buddy press pages are blank.
that’s why, I put back the folders,.. I’m just curious,, you created a Default Theme Group right? so I tried to post a topic and it works, but when I attempted to post a topic on the group that I created which is the “students” I can’t post a topic over there and always give me an error “This group does not have a forum setup yet.” where can I set it up?

still I can’t create group using my theme, I just create one using the plugin Buddy Press group Organizer..

[markyeoj]

[jugoretz]

This seems to be similar to the problem reported here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-directory-entries-disappear-using-drop-down-sorter-and-next-page-buttons/

He was using an unusual theme, and never reported back on whether that was the problem. For me, that’s not it.

[@mercime]

== I have already clicked ‘uninstal groups forums’ (or whatever it said!) but this has not worked. ==

Delete bb-config.php file that was generated at root of your WP installation as well.

[@mercime]

Fix could be provided by theme author or at WP.org at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates

In the sitewide forums(bbpress) configuration there is an item that is checked by default to prefix /forum/ to permalinks. This changed my permalink to /forum/forums/forum_name which broke the links. I unchecked this which made my permalink the normal /forums/forum-name and fixed the blank page issue for me.

[snowlas]

So you unchecked the forum configuration in BuddyPress, correct? And then you placed forum in the permalinks settings for all of WordPress? Or is this during the BuddyPress install?

I ended up getting rid of, or trying to anyways, site-wide forums. What if I want to use group forums – am I able to still do this?

I appreciate the help. I’ve been desperately searching for an answer for this for days.

[tomwi]

I had this same issue with buddypress+sitewide forums. I resolved by unchecking the box in forum configuration that added /forum/ prefix to permalinks. The setting recommends to be checked, but unchecked fixed my white pages issue.

looked thought error log… nothing there that i can see that would relate to the issue…

[myfaith20]

I would like to do this also.

[neodoxa]

Thanks for the reply!

So I did that… made the copy of the header and sidebar, and inserted those codes to the ends of them. Now it sort of scrunched everything inside of a box without the sidebar being on the right anymore… visit http://www.critterhub.com/forums/groups/ to see what I am talking about.

Did I do something wrong? Thanks!

[cjg997]

Also…

Getting this strange white drop shadow effect on the admin menu bar. How do I fix this?

Screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37269434/Screen%20Shot%202012-02-22%20at%2010.38.jpg

Or should I post this question in a different forum?

Thank you.

[@mercime]

Looking over your theme, you will need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Aggregate theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them 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. The changes we’ll be making are using the default layout (right sidebar) for the Aggregate theme.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`

`

with
`

`

[@mercime]

== but it worked fine until I went to change the slugs on the bbpress settings page ==

After you changed the slugs in bbPress settings page, did you change the slug/name of your bbPress forums in your custom menu.

[thebuzzer]

@mercime,

When logged in on the left sidebar there are various links, such as activity, members, groups, and forums. When I click that forums link it goes to the forums directory page ex: site.com/forums. I would like that to go to the site-wide forum which is site.com/forums/forums/kudos-forum.

I have tried changing the forums slug in the bbpress settings to kudos, but than says page not found when I click the link in the nav bar.

you can look at the site (it is not finished) http://www.kudosbuzz.com
