BuddyPress.org

Next on the list is renaming the plugin directories one by one to see which one is offending. There’s something left over somewhere that’s causing the white screen.

Quite often, it ends up being a duplicated function somewhere, or a function being called upon that no longer exists in the code. Theme customizations are prone to that kind of thing a lot.

Since I brought it up here: I found the problem. I upgraded from 1.0.3 to 1.1.1 the easy button-clicking way. It did not delete the old theme-files. When I deleted them, my forums started working like they should.

I am having the same problem as well…There are also many themes that I installed that links to wp-signup.php for registration of new accounts but now it is just a blank page instead of redirecting to the new buddypress registration page…

If the problem only occurs with a custom theme, then you need to talk to the person who made that theme.

Your best bet is to delete /plugins/buddypress/ and then visit yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php. Then change the theme back to the WordPress default (Kubrick).

You can then reinstall BuddyPress and reactivate the BuddyPress theme. You won’t loose any of your BuddyPress database data doing this, though I recommend making a backup of your database with phpMyAdmin as a matter of good practice.

Also, before you deactivate BuddyPress, I suggest you change the site theme back to the default (Kubrick) and switch it back after you have installed the latest version of BuddyPress and have activated it.

Suggest you get the forums working before you start adding a custom theme. Site Admin -> BuddyPress -> Forums Setup.

I’m having the same problem. I will provide as MUCH information as I can per the list.

I’ve moved the BP themes to the wp-content/themes directory.

This is the third clean install of WPMU and BP (including new SQL database, etc).

I host with 1and1, so I’ve had to add a .htaccess file to the root directory to change to php5.

1. Which version of WPMU are you running? WordPress MU 2.8.4

2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install? Directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? It is in the root, however the root URL itself is a subdirectory.

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version? No.

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress? Yes.

6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running? Version 1.1.2

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? No.

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? No.

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? Yes.

10. Have you modified the core files in any way? No.

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? No.

12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? BP came with an install of bbPress installed (I think).

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. My site is hosted by 1and1. I don’t think they provide log files.

Please help! I’ve read and read this forum and there doesn’t seem to be a definitive solution anywhere.

You are welcome.

I am not sure about the fatal error(as it should not appear).

Since the Buddypress menu is available in the admin now,It seems the plugin got activated.

try following

1.rename the wp-content/bp-themes directory to something else[as you upgraded from 1.0.3 which used old theme architecture]

2.copy the themes bp-sn-parent and bp-default from buddypress/bp-themes to wp-content/themes

Go to site back end.Enable the themes and activate the bp-default.hopefully,It will be working.

Yes, it is on the roadmap:

BuddyPress 1.3 (TBD) / Wire: “In-line replies to messages”.

I have asked for “threaded” items many times in this Forum, but it seems WP-guys do not like “threaded” things (besides P2-theme)……

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1068

@RAY

I do not understand the comments you have made within above mentioned TRAC-ticket.

Just have a look at the link within this TRAC-ticket; there you will see a threaded Forum which works very nice and intuitive…..

DJPaul – I fear you are wrong – this is EVERYTHING to do with buddyPress – BP KILLS WPMU themes when that pig of a 1960’s ice cream parlour decor known as bp-sn-parent and it’s cantankerous child bp-default take over the entire site.

The plugin “Default Blog Templates” is available from the WPMU Plugins repository but the “bluddypress” default theme also kills the settings in that, and takes control of the blog admin pages too, such that saved drafts cannot be previewed and the top left button to “visit site” simply returns the user back to the blog admin dashboard.

I don’t know if this is specific to just v1.1.2 on WPMU 2.8.4a but it’s getting closer to a rip-out and ditch for BP for me. At least WPMU was working and ready for custom development before BP went in.

You can add it to your theme’s functions.php.

Use Firebug,find the ids of the navigation element(anchro’s id) and add css in your theme with the bullet image as background.This is how it is done for default items.You can do the same.

This site works a bit differently.

Buddypress Forums are created when you create a group. If you have an existing group, go to that group’s admin panel and enable its forum.

Assuming you are using the default theme or a child theme, you should also have a forum navigation item on the main menu.

I have the p2 theme (heavily modified) running as the member theme with all users as a contributor on the “Main” site sub blog.

Best way to explain it is, the main site uses a modified buddyface theme with P2 as its blog (all members become contributor here). when a new member joins and creates a blog or page as I call theme, it uses the modified p2. Their activity shows up on their p2 page, their main wire in their buddyface side, and the sitewide activity feed. Anyone interested in using something like this let me know, I would be more than happy to help.

By skeleton theme, do you guys mean bp-sn-parent?
