Nice work, modemlooper. That’s gonna save me some time!

[John James Jacoby]

Have you gone through the bbPress installation process in your wp-admin yet?

[motionsw]

I am having the same problem, would love to hear some answers.

[rossagrant]

Seems like this is happening on a few BP sites I have been on tonight. I can’t even post new topics on my new install of BP, never mind edit existing ones. Anyone worked out what this is yet???

I’m having exactly the same issue. (footiemate.com). Members directory, blogs, forums, groups just redirect back to the homepage. Also, when I click on my own profile link it redirects back the homepage.I have the same config as above + upgraded BP (versus a fresh install). Variations of this issue seem to exist in several different areas across these forums. Thanks

In your theme/child theme, you just need to add new widget areas in, same as any regular WordPress theme. I’m not a theme expert but have a look at http://www.themelab.com/2008/04/18/see-how-easy-it-is-to-widgetize-wordpress-themes/ under “Multiple Widget Ready Areas”

what if i get down on my knee and beg?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

These forums are integrated differently to those of a standard BP install (and your site). So, I assume the page loads back the forum thread and the changes don’t appear?

This can be caused by an invalid nonce or a cookie error. Were you using the back arrow in your browser when you were testing? Let us now the exact steps you followed, thanks.

[Avi M]

Well, well, well! I just tried to edit the above post ( wanted to add a thanks in advance) and the same thing happend.

Test

Guys, Would someone please share some code i can put in a functions.php file in my theme to change the title and description of the site as a whole?

current if you search my site on google you get:

“Login or Signup to make some friends! SPoint.me · Log In · Sign Up; Visit. Random Member · Random Group · Random Blog · Random Link.”

thats not pretty!

Just thought of something for your next update (hint…). To keep things consistent in BP directories, rather than displaying group tags at the top, would it be possible to list them below the login in the sidebar like the forum topic tags? Just an idea for user-friendliness.

Next idea… blog tags? Hmm…

[hydroweb]

Will this make it so that member sees only forums, and in forums a list of “groups” or “themes” or whatever, that have been created by admin/editor? No groups tab in bp default theme. Thanks, Roger

[hydroweb]

Will this hide the groups tab from all but admins and editors, and get rid of the text in forums that says you must join a group? So that member sees only forums, and in forums a list of “groups” or “themes” or whatever, that have been created by admin/editor? Actually, what would be more than wonderful would be a version of BP without groups altogether, with a panel allowing admin to create themes. Thanks, Roger

[rich! @ etiviti]

only problem with removing the link:

<?php echo bp_get_root_domain() . '/' . BP_GROUPS_SLUG . '/create/' ?> someone could still access the url directly to start the process.

I went ahead and created a plugin (waiting on repo request on wordpress.org) to disable the steps and show a ‘new groups creation is closed’ message. Also added in a midlevel-cap to allow another set of users the ability to create private/hidden + w/forums. I may expand this to restrict other steps in the group creation process (as other plugins using the group extension api may add in their own step)

Basically the plugin removes the $bp->groups->group_creation_steps – adds in a custom position 0 step to display a closed page.

[Andrea Rennick]

If it’s related to user blogs, you’re better asking over at the wpmu forums,

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/view/all-topics

Where there are plenty of topics discussing just this very thing. (Yes, it’s possible, yes there are plugins)

[kriskl]

Thank you for quick reply

I will try that,

Is there any way to “filter’ and show, for example 10 Forums only and not complete lists?

I understand buddypress forums does not support “sub-forums” (??)

kind regards

Kris

[snark]

I think @kriskl is asking for something like what I was asking about here, but didn’t get any responses to: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults

I’ll take a look at the Groups loop, @r-a-y, though I’m not sure I’ll be able to figure out what to do. Thanks.

[r-a-y]

There’s a plugin for group tags, but that categorizes the groups and not the activity content:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-tags/

Andy mentioned that the code for global activity search exists, it just needs a frontend.

[r-a-y]

Look into the Groups loop and adjust the parameters to output a list of group forums:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-groups-loop/

These are the parameters you should be looking at: “most-forum-topics” and “most-forum-posts”.

Copy /bp-themes/forums/index.php in a child theme and add a new groups loop.

This won’t make it look exactly like the forums here on bp.org, but will come close.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

If someone posts this on the Ideas forum, that’ll get this flagged for a future BP release. I know John’s working on xProfile in BP 1.3, so it’ll never work again properly *hides*

[nickrita]

This stuff is making me crazy.

I thought about another solution and wanted to have blog posts, comments and forum stuff on the acitivity stream.

I tried this:

<?php if ( bp_has_activities('action=new_blog_post&new_blog_comment&new_forum_post&new_forum_topic') ) : ?>

but it seems to be impossible to have mor than one action choosen, because only the blog posts are shown.

So, this thing leads me back to the question, how I could have blog posts instead of no filter as default.

r-a-y, I just confirmed with my programmer that the upgrade path was indeed 1.0.1 — 1.1.3 — 1.2.1

[photodesign]

I created my theme in a dummy installation of WPMU and BP from scratch, based on the 1.2 default theme. Once the main installation had been upgraded, I moved the new theme over and activated it. I don’t know why this would be a theme issue (???)
