BuddyPress Registration Options is not working with 1.5. I really need this.

I’ve been trying to get a theme BP 1.5 ready for a while now and can’t seem to get it. The template pack worked great for 1.2.9 and I’ve tried the same instructions with some patchwork for 1.5 (such as grabbing the template files from the svn instead of the plugin folder). Things show fine (mostly) but replies, posts and other ajax tasks aren’t completing. Using firebug and posting a group update (what’s new) shows the response from wp-load.php to be totally blank.

This is it theme working with BP 1.2.9 on staging: http://dev.archonic.com/carleton/dhc/

This is it it not working with BP 1.5 rev 5086 on development: http://archonic.pwnz.org/carleton/dhc/groups

You can log in with “student”, “student” on both sites to see what I mean. I’m assuming all issues (can’t post update, can’t post new topic, can’t delete, comment or reply, etc) with 1.5 are due to the same big fumble. Switching to the default theme doesn’t make it work either!

Did you change the settings on when it should show or is it not showing for all users? If that is the case it is probably something to do with a scripting error however if you can a link to see your site would help in diagnosis.

First port of call would be to turn off all other plugins try with default theme also if still getting issue. What extent you can do that would depend on your set up but does sound like a clash if the setting is to show it and you’re the right role you’ve set (if you set one to see it).

Have you tried changing back to the default buddypress theme? A number of those errors sound like they could be created by a theme that isn’t rendering properly? You could re-create a theme very similar to what you are currently using with a child theme of the default buddypress theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

@gregfielding my bad, that code above was for BP 1.5 beta 3 and this only prevents the adminbar.css from being enqueued via wp_head. So you can definitely use your own adminbar.css by @import in style.css of child theme or enqueueing it, whichever you prefer.

@ribena_wrath re sidebar below content: Looks like you closed a div too soon. If you require assistance, open up your theme’s page.php, copy the code, paste on pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated url here.

re: forum layout: in the last few steps of the BP compatibility process, make sure that you checked enabling bp.css

I suggest you post this issue at theme dev’s forums at http://themekraft.com/groups/custom-community/forum where the theme devs @svenl77 and @konradS will be able to assist you. Do add which version of BP and Costum Community Theme you using as well when you post there.

Lines 89-95 from bp-default theme’s header.php https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.9/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php contains the search.

@gregfielding disregard previous post … to disable BP’s Admin Bar aka buddybar, just add this to functions.php

`remove_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘bp_core_load_buddybar_css’ );`

You can deregister adminbar.css and adminbar-rtl.css by adding this to functions.php

`//Deregister enqueued admin styles
function greg_deregister_admin_styles() {
wp_deregister_style( ‘bp-admin-bar’ );
wp_deregister_style( ‘bp-admin-bar-rtl’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘greg_deregister_admin_styles’, 20 );`

The beta 3 should be ok to run on a live site. Always back up though before installing beta BuddyPress. You will get native drop downs and many other fixes/enhancements

BuddyPress 1.5 – Beta 3

@matuh, have you read these instructions?

On the plus side, I am one of the admins on testbp. It’s probably because bbPress 2.0 tries to use “forums”, and BuddyPress also tries to use “forums”. BuddyPress must be winning.

Try going to wp-admin > Settings > Forums, and set the “Forums base” and “Topics base”. There’s also a page called “discussion”. I’ve not used bbPress 2.0, so I’m not really sure. @johnjamesjacoby will know!
