preachur, keep the $20 and save it for the next guy.

I appreciate the generous offer, but get yourself a latte and some lunch. The BuddyPress support forums will always be free.

[josephtravers]

Okay… I solved it… turns out it was something the Events Calendar plugin was doing that was causing the White Screen on any forum page.

[josephtravers]

I’ve posted my “White Screen” topic in a new thread, as it doesn’t fit here, as it looks like the tables have been created. Can’t seem to delete my above post.

[preachur]

I believe it MUST be a buddypress issue because none of the solutions in the WPMU forum work…. Not only that, this seems to be a common problem.

You’re correct, it IS a WPMU question.

I have no time to dig up the link but it’s been posted elsewhere on the forums and I guess you can find it over at the WP/WPMU sites.

jjj,

thanks for the plugin but i can’t get to my bbpress admin when i use the deep integration code. using buddypress 1.0.3, wpmu 2.8.5.2 and bbpress 1.0.2. I have gone all five pages of this thread and tried everything everyone has suggested but whenever i put in the deep integration code i get redirected back to my blog’s homepage. if i take the code out i can access bbpress admin just fine. i have subdomains for my blogs but have forums on a subdirectory.

If there have been any further updates pls advise

Looks like I found my answer: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/where-the-hell-are-the-forum-management

[5477106]

as a side note, is there a way to even administer the forum? I see the forum setup under the buddypress option on the backend (which installed buddypress), but I don’t see the admin options for administering it (or perhaps that is what is missing along with the buttons?)

[josephtravers]

Hi guys (and gals),

I too am using the one-click new installation option… it only asks me to create a bb-config.php file (and gives me what I should put in it), after which it says that “bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. ” … but nothing will load on any forum pages… all that shows is a white page. No header, no nothing.

By looking around in the files of the WPMU installation, I see all the bbpress files in the “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress” directory, including a “bb-config-sample.php” file, but no bb-config.php file.

The one-click installation page mentioned at the beginning of this post told me to put the bb-config.php file in the root directory of my WPMU install, but maybe I should put it in the same directory as “bb-config-sample.php”?

Thanks for any help… just installed BuddyPress today and love it!

[UPDATE]

Okay, I just checked my DB via cpanel, and the tables are there… but BuddyPress isn’t showing *anything* related to forums on my installation.

The forums on my site are here: http://www.greenparenting.ca/forums

hi Olive

have you checked this thread.Hopefully this should help you as your buddypress is not on the root domain but on sub blog.

[Samuel Aguilera]

By the way… after posting this, I found that I can’t reply to that post… (to https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/the-page-isnt-redirecting-properly-when-user-not-logged-in )

[stwc]

(I’m going to try to be helpful rather than just telling you to go elsewhere. I want Buddypress to grow, and users helping users ought be part of that. I’d also like the forum here to be a useful resource. So many threads at mu.wordpress.org are just cries for help with zero replies. That sucks.)

wordpressfan, I’d probably approach this using Roles. I’ve never done it, but you could set the Dashboard user default role in Site Options to ‘Inactive’. That would allow you to monitor signups, and approve as necessary, I’d imagine. As long as users know that there is a process in place where they have to wait for approval. There are plugins out there that allow you to create custom roles, too, but I’ve never used them.

In terms of the registration emails sent to you as admin, this is also a WMPU thing, not on the Buddypress end. I’m sure I’ve seen plugins that allow you to edit these, but I can’t find them for the life of me. If you’re comfortable with hacking the WPMU core (and rehacking after updates), you can find the place these emails are generated in

function newblog_notify_siteadmin

in wmpu-functions.php in /wpmu-includes

off the root of your WMPU install.

[takuya]

I suppose you are talking about those admin notice upon newly registered members of your site. BuddyPress doesn’t control this function, so you should post this question or search similar topics on wpmu forums.

[Jean-Pierre Michaud]

i personally prefer asking permission instead of forking anything, the GPL is not that free..

btw, Nicola was on the site today, so i suppose he is reading the forum as well…

[dizziness]

Thanks but both permissions and thumbnail creation works for me but avatar and group avatar uploading does not.

EDIT: Correction, I can upload avatars after clearing out the user’s avatar folder via FTP. Unfortunately, I cannot delete these new avatars from the user’s Profile page without using FTP. So it does appear to be a permissions issue, where Buddypress cannot delete existing avatars. Ideas?

EDIT again: I found this old post from 1.1 on permissions. I expect this will help: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/surprising-avatar-behavior

[Jeff Sayre]

In the group’s admin page, try disable the forum and then re-enabling it.

[takuya]

Settings>Discussion… this setting doesn’t have any relationship with BuddyPress.

Are you trying to accomplish threaded comments for blogs? If so, this forum is not the right place for support of wpmu.

Are you trying to make threaded comments for activity feeds? If so, your question should stay here.

hi

try this one

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/can-i-run-non-bp-theme-on-tld-and-bp-theme-on-subdomain-all-on-same-wpmu-install

[gsmith6673]

maybe in BP 1.1.3 the core software will include an option to place a logo/image in the header?

(is not knocking the BP design at all here)…but I’m thinking that the more exposure BP gets the more novice the users will become and with that thought in mind, the design of BP will need to tilt towards a novice user. In other words…coders, it would be a good idea to create a “novice proof” layout.

including the option to place an image in the header is so unbelievably basic (with respect to site design) I can’t imagine why it’s even an issue being discussed in the forum?

[@mercime]

I agree with you Erich73 and so does stwc in his post here where JJJ recommended:

“Take the files from bp-sn-parent/groups/single/forums/ and copy/paste them into the same location in your child theme, then season to taste.”

[@mercime]

Hi Andrea_r, waiting for videos to your session/s at http://wordpress.tv/event/wordcamp-new-york/

I tested your theme in a site under development.

WPMU 2.8.5.2 + BP 1.1.2 + bbpress installed via BP one click

Main site with MU Sitewide Tags Pages

BuddyPress main site in blog-ID-2 at http://members.example.org/

Thank you for the clean theme. Without looking at code, i.e., checking it out like a newbie who activated the theme, following are some quick notes:

1. wp-admin-bar – Text (e.g. Org Members) of link to BuddyPress site ( http://members.example.com) shows up in backend (dashboard etc) but does not show up in front end. The link block is there and clickable to main BP site, but the text does not show up. Still, the wp-admin-bar shows correct links to main BP site, etc. throughout the site including sub-blogs.

2. Footer widgets only showing up in only in blog areas – is this the intention?

3. h1 – cannot find it anywhere in the theme. Need at least one h1 per Post or Page

4. Main Nav – link to Forums was not generated to show BP main site nor other subblogs nor main site, while link to a newly activated “Events” plugin page was generated to show in the main nav across all sites. (the link to Forum shows up in this install when I use child theme)

5. Main Nav – like the official bp-child theme, activating the theme in sub-blog for groups or individual members does not show correct links to main BP site features like member/group/blog directory. In order for one theme to be used throughout the site, conditional statement will be needed to show correct links to main BP site conjoined with respective blog’s navigation links.

Quick scan in main BP site (blog_id_2) to see how theme works in different sections

6. Members Section

– directory page – 2 columns – ok

– My own admin individual profile page – skeleton set up with 2 columns where in left column is avatar, options bar and user bar boxes. But there is a large space on the right side as if missing a 3rd column. Checked links in options bar resulted in two columns with links except the ff which has a missing left column – Edit Profile page, Change Avatar page

– If I click on another member’s individual profile page – left column as two user bar boxes unlike the link to my profile which has the options bar and user bar. In addition, when I also am missing the left column with options/users boxes in Blogs link page, Friends link page, Groups link pages plus the Events link page is incorrect and goes to front page of site

7. Groups Section

– directory page – 2 columns – ok

– Group individual page – skeleton set up with 2 columns – but there is a large space on the right side as if missing a 3rd column plus the page is missing all sub-navigations for Creating a Group, Creating forums etc

That’s it for now. As mentioned above, didn’t look at codes “behind the scenes” at this point, only the functionality if newbie user activated it.

Good luck

[tiptap]

Thanks for the help Jeff.

The reason I posted is due to not finding anything definitive in the search… all results I have found on “deep integration” are either people saying you need it or are they using it….

however one of the results gave me an idea.

What if I keep bbpress as the group forum. but then use simplepress to handle the more traditional forum?

That way im guessing it would be treated as 2 seperate forums – all i would need to do then is share the user data?
