BuddyPress.org

Are you using the default theme? I say this as in the header there is a search along with on the member pages. Perhaps you can confirm what theme and maybe provide a link so I can take a look?

There is the now outdated BuddyPress mobile plugin.

However perhaps a different take and you could look at using a responsive theme that caters for multiple devices there was recently one released. I will add I’ve not used it but heard good things.

Also you may want to check the repo out for anyone doing that for free (https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/) – I seem to recall a free one was in works which is really cool.

Are you using a theme or a custom theme for this? Would help in narrowing down the issue to also have a link to your site – it’s a little hard to give a response otherwise without knowing everything.

I have a similar problem. I’m using WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.3. If I use the default BP theme my main (and only) blog shows. However, if I use other themes, I am not able to get my posts to appear on my “Blog” page.

In the interim, I have put “Featured Category”, “Recent Posts” and “Recent Comments” on the sidebar of pages and posts on the front page to allow people access to blog posts.

The thread above is no longer there.

I’m running WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.3. I have a different issue in the sense that my main blog is the only blog. The main blog shows in the default BP theme. However, it does not show on any of the other themes.

It is not showing even if I put my Settings->Reading->Static Page->Post Page is the “Blog” page.

How did you solve or fix this issue? Can you kindly explain?

Hey Anton, I have a different issue in the sense that my main blog is the only blog. This shows in the default BP theme. However, it does not show on any of the other themes.

@acustica = genius! this worked for me, thanks so much!

I hate all those “deactivate all your plugins” and “only use standard theme” answers — they are not really helpful but guaranteed to waste your time.

What you offer is a fix that works — at least for me with WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.9 — let’s see what the fixed version 1.3 brings

Could be a theme issue. Change to bp-default theme and see if same behavior occurs.

Have you checked whether it is a plugin or theme conflict by deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and changing to bp-default theme?

You are editing the wrong file.
If you have buddypress and buddypress template pack and still the buddypress files are shown but not with your theme layout, then do the following steps:

go to your theme location: wp-content/themes/ yourtheme

do you find there the following files & folders
activities, blogs, forum, members, groups, registration

in each of them, you will find either home.php or index.php in particular.
these file will have the code like

get_header()
………
………..’this is the code segment you need to replace’
if you find any extra code in between this two lines, save them in a notepad. After doing the following steps, bring those extra codes ‘if any’, back in this segment after replacement.
……….
div id=”content”

you need to replace this code segment with that of your theme,

now open wp-content/themes/ yourtheme / index.php

and copy the code segment

php get_header()
………
………..
……….
div id=”content” class=” …………………………………………………….

Paste this code segment to the area where mentioned above.

I seem to be having a problem….a bit more complicated than those here. I have set up buddypress, installed the plugin to make my theme compatible, and everything says its working great. I see all the links in the admin pannel at the top, but if i click ANYTHING, i get a 404 page not found. Click register, 404. Click members, 404…click profile get a 404..any suggestions?

Which theme? Do non-BuddyPress widgets work? Have you tried removing the BuddyPress widgets from the widget area, and adding them again?

@donmcint go to dashboard menu Appearance > Header > Change image and background color there.

I need to change my header color too (leave the text as it is only the header blue backround). It seem it comes from a JPG file in inludes — images— header.jpg …please help!!!!

Rename plugins folder in server, then rename active WP theme so system will automatically change theme to twentyeleven theme.

@lunaix you should post at plugin dev’s site with details about your install – might be some conflict with another plugin or theme or something else, Tested the plugin on BP 1.3-bleeding and later in BP 1.2.9/WP 3.2.1 and it’s working great.

@careercreatrix Before there was WP Multisite, there was WPMU(multi-user) a long story https://wordpress.org/news/2010/06/thelonious/

== 1) Do i have to “create a group” in order for people to be able to join my discussion forum? I just want one plain old discussion board, with multiple topics. ==

Yes, at this time you would have to create a group and be a member of that group in order to post forum topics. If you only want the forums without the social networking feature, bbPress the plugin is in beta3 https://bbpress.org/blog/

== 2) It says you have to have registration enabled, so people can register. How do I make sure it’s enabled? ==

Go to dashboard Settings menu > General > Membership – check “Anyone Can Register”

== there isn’t a “Create a Group” tab when I click on “Groups” in the top bar, ==

You will find the “Create a Group” link if you go to your site’s /groups/ directory, it was never included in BP Admin Bar. So if your WP is installed in domain root i.e. http://yoursite.com/, you go to http://yoursite.com/groups. Beside the page title, Groups Directory, you’ll find the link to create a group in the bp-default theme. Or, you can go directly to the URL
http://yoursite.com/groups/create/step/group-details/ – replace yoursite.com with your domain name.

Thanks @David. I am creating a child theme for BP 1.3 to learn. Your’s is going to help me a lot.

Bage.

Are you still on WP V.3.1.4 and Buddypress V1.2.8 or have you upgraded? Change to bp-default theme and see if same behavior applies.
