For me, the problem only appears when I use Genesis Themes. I use the Magazine Pro theme. And I believe I have seen it on other Genesis themes.

And yes, I have posted the issue on their forums also. But I thought I’d post it here also in case other people had seen the issue and knew of a work around.

No one at studiopress has responded to my post so far.

Commented BuddyPress code can be found here for bp_has_forum_topics

bp_has_forum_topics

and here for bbp_has_topics

bbp_has_topics

[shanebp]

I think bp_has_forum_topics() only works on BP pages.
Try bbp_has_topics()

Hi @henrywright,

It does, but I have not found out why. the forums are activated and running on my test site.
could it be because Im using a child theme and it can’t find the function in the parent theme or something?

[Henry Wright]

Hi @prabin04

Do you get this problem with all plugins disabled and TwentyFifteen activated? I’m surprised you’re able to post on the group forum whilst not logged-in. That doesn’t sound right to me.

[Prabin]

hi @henrywright can you solve my this issue ? it’s urgent.

Restrict Non-logged in user to post on group forums

thanx 🙂

[Henry Wright]

Hi @marvc

Whilst I can’t offer any help myself in this instance, the actual table you’re importing is irrelevant so both the WordPress and BuddyPress support forums might not be the best place to look to get help. Instead, perhaps try a phpMyAdmin or MySQL support forum. Hopefully they’ll be more help.

[Henry Wright]

To answer that question I think you’ve just got to put it out there. Making it available on the wp.org will attract far more attention than this forum topic 🙂

[Henry Wright]

Hi @boriskamp1991

The error message is telling us that the undefined function bp_has_forum_topics() is being used in your theme’s front-page.php on line 122. I suspect you don’t have forums activated?

[ICTaanbieding]

Yes indeed forum topics in bbpress/ buddypress / userpro

[@ecicerone]

Hy ICTaanbieding,

Topics?

Are you talking about forum topics?

NEWS!
was using Chrome, fired up ye old firefox and TADAAA back to normal, both issues are resolved (in firefox at least)

What would cause chrome to do this, too many forum tabs open or something? haha

[Prabin]

Admin can post on groups but I want to moderate posts/comments if user/subscriber
comment/post on Group forums. May be there is some trick but I didn’t find any option from back-end to moderate those.

[deklein]

Can’t you moderate those too since you have the administrator role?
Maybe I’m wrong I have never set up group forums.

[deklein]

Thanks for the reply!! Well hey I actually had the file in the right place WP-content buuuut the real issue was my browser cache I found out. Silly me it was just Chrome saying “hey i want to make your frusterated right meow”

Anyway I have an issue still that someone might be able to help me with. Everything updated fine except the orders button is not affected (it still comes third in line behind forums). Since I havent got to the point where I plan to sell things on my site yet anyway can i just remove the orders button cause its being stubborn.

[danbp]

Please have a look to this ticket
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6421

Don’t hesitate to give more details or information to the devs. Login is using same credentials as on this forum.

[danbp]

Is the member type supposed to show in backend under All Users?

No !

Member type is not a role, so it is not part of WP’s users admin interface.

I’m always stuned how people are using documented solution they find on this forum. Have you read the codex articles i previouly indicated, specially th first one ?

[schulz]

Interesting…

I will try that forum.

[Mickey]

Let me re-emphasize that Buddypress is awesome, but because its so awesome these little things which I would take for granted, simply stand out, at least to me an end user.

Perhaps our perspectives are different and you guys are looking at it from coding standpoint, I do not, Im the end user and I am comparing buddypress to everything else out there.

The only sites using just username are dating sites and perhaps some forum sites, sites where specifically people do not want to reveal their identities. If someone is running that type of a site than there are no issues.

However, if I want a full name, I need at least two fields, username and then something for the full name, and ideally 3 fields, username/first name/last name, and that is weird, out of hundreds of sites I have signed up for I have never had to enter a username and name, that simply makes no sense for someone signing up, its confusing. For you guys who deal with buddypress for years perhaps its normal, but its not when you look around at everything else.

Another thing is the avatar upload,again I dont think I ever encountered another site where I wasnt able to upload an avatar on registration. It may make sense from coding stand point or something else, from end user standpoint it makes no sense.

Just my 2 cents, I love buddpress and thanks for your help as always.

@minglonaire,

i’m part of the one percenter who cares about well formed urls and a basic system which is working on 23% of www’s sites !

If you have enhancement ideas, feel free to post in the appropriate forum or open a ticket on Trac.

BP is only a WP plugin and doesn’t handle registration. On the other hand, WP use a very short registering form, containing 3 fields: username, email and password.

First and last name are optionnal fields on the standard WP user profile. These fields are not mandatory, never appear on the registration page and it’s in the freedom of everyone to use them or not. When BP is installed, he provides a mandatory Name field, which can be used to enter a username or a first/last name.

Even if i have no percentage to give you, i’m pretty sure that almost all users are satisfied to use a CMS which doesn’t ask them for real names at first ! And why not their address, blood group, gran’mother nickname or their mom’s phone number ?

This are privacy options, and WP is smart enough to not abuse of such things, by default. Smart enough also to use the simpliest existing register routine, like all other major web operators, a username, a valid email and an encrypted password.

Anything else is matter of flexibility, one of the major interrest to use BuddyPress. And definetly no, not all communities have members who knows each others. Don’t make you the spokeman of such behalf speculation. 😉

I think you’re confused by system requirements and your own desires. To get it clear for the register aspect, read here please.

Oh, and the answer to your question is here:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

[shanebp]

Forums are handled by the bbPress plugin.
Have you tried asking your question on the bbPress support forums?

Hi @imath

I am sort of loosing my hair since I updated to the latest version of buddypress.
had searched the forum a few months back and put a LOT of time into custom coding that the activity will read my custom post types. I put that code in my functions.php file and was really happy with everything- each activity had it’s own text and it was really nice.

I am not a coder, just building my site, and now, since this update, all my work is gone- all I get is the generic “posted a new item”, and a link to the post- not even the name of the post. I have 3 custom post types, and I need them all to be unique.
I don’t know what to do now, how to start over?

Can I just cancel the new custom post support and go back to my own code?
Please help.

[Hugo Ashmore]

Ah right this is why those version requirements are listed and need to be paid attention to.

Regardless of the plugin issue, this forums advice must start and finish on updating WordPress then BuddyPress it is really inadvisable to run with versions that are this outdated, WP had a major security update around the 4.0 point.

Groups are a BuddyPress thing are they not?

I am requesting that the Group Forum selector in the Group Forum Settings in BuddyPress be able to support more than one forum NOT forums supporting multiple groups.

Yes, but BuddyPress doesn’t do anything with the bbPress plugin. bbPress integrates itself into BuddyPress. bbPress handles all the BuddyPress group integration.

What you’re requesting should be a bbPress feature.

[schulz]

Groups are a BuddyPress thing are they not? I am requesting that the Group Forum selector in the Group Forum Settings in BuddyPress be able to support more than one forum NOT forums supporting multiple groups.

bbpress ticket 2191 is not really talking about what I am talking about here. They are talking about creating subgroups to go with the forums (which is not what I want to do).

Also the bbPress forums is the first place I looked into and it seems that posts talking about group involvement are being directed to post at the BuddyPress support.
