By default, you could add a forum description whether it be a group forum or a sitewide forum. Which one are you referring to?

One more thing i forgot to say i used Navigation menu from Appearance>>Menus to make menu order,this item is from forum bbpress so iwas suspicious about that so i tried also to put static page in order to isolate whats wrong but same thing so i eliminated possibility that is bbpress make that.I will try to make menu thry pages instead of Menus and i will let you know is it working on that way with default CSS settings.

This is something you should ask at the bbPress forums https://bbpress.org/forums/

Otherwise it is necessary to find a plugin that allows to adjust the rights of users in the group
it exists?

Hi,
if i set in private, the simple users can’t read the posts. Requires that simple users can read but can’t answer.
It’s difficult :p
Is it possible to create another rank ?
Thanks.

We’re aware the search isn’t working. Thanks for the feedback.

I’m just going to go back to my other theme and wait for an answer to this https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddy-press-search-options/

Considering I still had the same problem in a buddypress theme. At least my other theme shows excerpts on blog post page with thumbnails

[jmk10276]

+1 same issue

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Set the groups to private?

[Lindsayannb]

+1 – the same issue. I’d love to find the topics that i’ve posted in

Cancel that. I haven’t resolved it. My fix did not work.
I need to block all forum posts from entering the group activity stream.

[huntergatherer]

I checked all your suggestions. The problem persists: You can see what is happening at:
http://www.preview-classes.com

1) Looks like I mistyped the permalinks settings in the forum post: It actually reads: /blog/%pagename%/ So, I don’t think that’s it.

2) It’s set up for subfolders with multisite, not subdomains. The config.php file has these lines added, just above “that’s all…”: It’s set up right, since it has ‘define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );’
‘define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘preview-classes.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );’

3) I deactivated BuddyPress. Activated twentyeleven. Went to site. Problem persists. The home page shows the twentyeleven theme, with the page names from the BuddyPress Pages on the horizontal menu. Click any page: and there is an Error 404, page not found.

Anyone out there got the solution?

[sheffieldlad]

I sorted this

Thanks.

Check out how feeds are done in BuddyPress itself.

There are two things you need to do:
1) Create an action listener to tell BuddyPress that the URL you’re on is the feed
2) Next, tell BuddyPress what template file to use for the feed and create an activity loop to generate the feed.

For example, to see how BuddyPress generates the sitewide activity feed:

1) BP creates an action listener for the sitewide activity feed here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-activity/bp-activity-actions.php#L359

2) BP uses the following template file referenced in step 1 to generate the sitewide activity feed:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-activity/feeds/bp-activity-sitewide-feed.php#L1

See how that file structures the RSS feed? It uses an activity loop (bp_has_activities()) with specific arguments to sitewide activity.

—

To create an unreplied RSS feed, follow the steps above as a guide.

Instead of an activity loop in the RSS feed, you’ll probably need to use a forum topics loop with ‘type=unreplied’ as the argument.

Hope that gives you a few pointers.

@jetlej – See your topic over at bbPress.org for my response.

Related note, please don’t cross post the same question in both forums. It creates twice the work on our end which makes fixing things take twice as long.

[Pisanojm]

Anybody?

[David Cavins]

Is bbPress activated? (From the WP admin interface, can you see new buttons on your dashboard for forums, topics & replies?) Can you add a new forum?

What’s your “forums base” & “single slug” at Settings > Forums?

[weknowmore]

This helped a lot!
Thanks for your great help!

I did change:
`

`
in
`

`

and
`

`
in
`

`

That worked with sidebar on the right; for almost all of the pages! Yeah!

The only pages that do not work yet are:
– Activity
– Group Forum

They are both still full width pushing the sidebar underneath again. Seems that when the text overflows, the sidebar is pushed down.

And the area in which buddypress ‘is active’ also becomes smaller when the menu options are less, making the menubar narrower and all active buddypress space underneath as well. They are linked to each other now it seems.

Do you know how to have this fixed at grid_8 so that activity and forum stay in, and when menu is narrowe it aligns to grid_8?

Thanks again for your help. You’re a lifesaver!

[ebusinesstutor]

I tried this and now when I go to a new forum page at http://diabeticclub.com/forums/forums/diet/ it gives me a page not found error message.

There isn’t a bbconfig.php file in my root directory.

[@ChrisClayton]

@Craiglovelock – you will have to figure out how to insert a custom textfield into the wordpress registration page and then insert a “name” field (sorry, cant help more since i have never touched the wordpress registration form)

Since you have disabled the buddypress registration form and you have given wordpress back control over it, you may get better answers on the wordpress.org forums.

[@mercime]

No problem Marking this as resolved.

[iain2474]

thank you mercime.

that worked perfectly

[@mercime]

Correct.

== If that’s true, I’m gonna have to rethink how I do future WordPress installations ==

True, but you could also export XML from one install and import that into a new WP site installed at domain root. Or, if that’s going leave behind other data you want to keep, have you posted at WP org forums to find a way to reverse the process of giving WP its own directory so that you could export clean DB from old install and import into WP installed at domain root.

[@mercime]

Sounds like you chose the Sitewide Forums. Add this shortcode to the Forums page
`[bbp-forum-index] `
or choose another or combination of shortcodes per https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
