It adds some predefined user accounts, forum topics, activity updates etc. You can pick what you want. Why do you need fake accounts?

[modemlooper]

I’ll check it out. In the future do not open more than one support request for the same issue. If somebody hasn’t responded to you first post after 24 hours then post a reply to the original post and it will move back to the top of the forum.

Create a page called forums
Go to the BuddyPress menu in the admin and click pages
Assign the forum component to the forum page

[KeyferMath]

Do I create a page called forums?

Is there anyway we can live chat and diagnose this problem? i can pay!

thanks

[KeyferMath]

look at the website,

you can see how the forums link just links back to the home page, but the slug is forums.

when i deactivate the plugin, it works.

== what do i set the link on my forums page to? ==
If you’re on WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5.1, go to admin dashbard Settings > Forums – Archive Slugs – Forums Base and check what you have there. If the base is forums then go to yoursite.com/forums or if base was changed to sitewide-forums, then go to yoursite.com/sitewide-forums/ (assuming you’ve got single WP install or that BP is installed in main site of a multisite install.

Try toggling forums in a given group. Uncheck “enable forum” and save, then recheck. If that works, it narrows down the issue.

Also, is it happening with new groups as well as existing ones?

This issue is driving us bonkers – has anyone come up with a solution please?

It all started when we moved our site (www.eradar.eu) to its own server (accessed thru cPanel). We have lost all forums and when another group is created it creates multiple groups rather than just 1 (even though the unique ID numbers are the same) – everything was working fine with our previous shared server.

I’m beginning to think it is a server side issue……

Some observations

1. Not a plugin issue – all have been tried and tested
2. Not a theme issue – was all working fine under the theme (Custom Community)
3. We are using all latest editions of WordPress, BuddyPress and BBPress…
4. We’ve followed discussion threads and deleted unique forum ids in MyPhp.

Absolutely no idea what to do next……

Please help

Hey Oz,

You don’t have a problem pal, that’s totally normal.

It just means that the BB Press forums will use their default styling, nothing fancy from your theme.

there are templates out there to dress up BB Press forums to make them look a little nicer, but if your theme doesn’t contain any, BB Press will just use the default styling.

You don’t have anything to worry about!

BuddyPress version 1.5.1 is compatible up to WordPress 3.2.1 at this time https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/important-some-notes-about-wordpress-3-3-and-buddypress/

[nanchante2]

agreed. this would be great if it worked like that… how many replies and comments get lost?

[SK]

Actually BP Better Directories seems pretty close.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/plugin-bp-better-directories-has-anyone-used-it/

Question about map search still lingers.

[nanchante2]

thanks i tired that, but when i place the following as my title:

<code><title><?php wp_title( ‘|’, true, ‘right’ ); bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?> <?php bp_groups_pagination_count() ?></title></code>

i get this output:

<title> News and Updates Forum Viewing group 1 to 0 (of groups)</title>

It should say:

<title> News and Updates Forum Page 12</title>

I think @takeo hit the nail on the head with this one, Buddypress would be a billion times more amazing and revolutionary if it had the type of features he’s describing.

Right now I just have to turn off Forum Topic Activity replies, and hope they understand the difference. With some tricky css and changing the way the structure of my site is layed out i’ve been able to get your average user to understand it.. kind of.

[jordash]

Yeah I’m not sure how Buddypress get’s pages like this indexed in google (I found this topic with a Google search).

But none of my forum topics are getting indexed by Google at all, I have a high authority site that usually get’s indexed in a couple of minutes. But Buddypress Topic Pages don’t get indexed at all.

[KeyferMath]

what do i set the link on my forums page to?

[@mercime]

Then that would be this https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/2/#bp-sitewide-forums

[KeyferMath]

not too sure, i downloaded buddypress, then went to forums and clicked the “download sitewide forums” thing

[@mercime]

Which forums are you trying to use – the internal bbPress Forums for Groups or the bbPress 2.+ plugin Sitewide Forums? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

[jordash]

Any ideas? It actually works on the sub-pages so If I look at the users profile Activity wall it displays the full link to the Forum Topic, but on the /activity wall it seems to shorten it for some reason.

[rich]

you just asked this question yesterday…

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/custom-post-type-to-activity-stream/

[@mercime]

1. To make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress, install and activate the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin and go through the BP Compatibility process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

2. As for Wishlist or S2Member, there’s been positive and negative feedback on both [EDIT – S2Member specifically notes support for BuddyPress which you should take into consideration]. You should contact vendors of both plugins about planned/scheduled plugins’ update for compatibility with upcoming WP 3.3 (prob this coming week – there are major changes) as well as upcoming BuddyPress version. Then check out respective plugins’ forums and see which has more issues reported and which provides more support.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this, I expected to get an email to say the forum post had been replied to, but obviously not.

Cheers,
Rob.
