BuddyPress.org

Hi, everyone,
I have similar problems with registration
1. .I can’t see my registration page anywhere.
2. When I use the http://mariamar.com/register URL, it just sends me back to the homepage.
3. I also don’t know how to place a registration link or box so visitors can register.

I see that the consistent answer here is Settings/ General.
I’ve done that. Still the problem is not solved.
INFO
I’m using WordPress 3.03 (or 4? Anyways, the one previous to 3.05) I installed BP and then used the available links to make it work with my theme, suffusion, which is the theme I use in all our blogs, as is the best one around for creating flexible widgets and highly customized design, so I don’t want to change it. I don’t know if this affects the situation. Just thought to mention this.
PLEASE HELP!
Well, I’m stuck. Have looked everywhere for a solution. I would appreciate some quick response from the very nice fellows in this forum.

Thanks,
MM

It might be physically there but clearly the path to file is not correct or at least that’s the way it looks, simple test move the file into your child theme and add an @import call to the style.css in child root.

Somewhere those ‘unrelated’ changes must have been related in some way not apparent.

If you want to use a WordPress theme, you have to also install the BP Template Pack plugin.

hi @modemlooper,

first of all thanks very much for all you’re doing for the bp community im crossing you as author very often when trying out plugins or themes

i wanted to have an additional sidebar on the left, so i installed and activated “Buddypress widget themes” first of all.
I didi have aditional columns, but without any function. They were not displayed when dragging any widget into it – do ihave to activate it somehow?
Now im trying BP columns which seem to work fine first but had display errors when using another plugin i use: Jet Event System – the additional columns are not shown any more when i click on the events…

– im using wp 3.04 and bp 1.2.7

best regards and thanks
roman

Something like this https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns

If you mean the files added by BP Template Pack plugin in your active theme, feel free to delete the following:

@stwc are you serious? You’ve been around here for awhile. Hooking into action is one of the easiest ways to add stuff to a theme. Wanna add ad block above activity stream? Just drop a function in BP-custom and attach to do action above stream. Almost evrything in BP has an do action before and after.

Instances of do_action() don’t, in themselves, do anything. They are signposts (‘hooks’, in WordPress terminology) that allow other plugins to add functionality. It is thanks to such idle hooks in WordPress that BuddyPress is able to function. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API for more info about how the system works.

Grep will tell you the locations of all references to the text you provide. Generally, that will give you enough information to open up the file(s) given in the grep results and look at the specified line. I just ran the command I gave you above, and I got the following result:
`./bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php:162: `
In other words, as I suggested, this particular text is only mentioned in one place in BP – the moment where it is defined. The hook is not called by any function in BuddyPress.

@JBo796 WP/BP versions? Have you changed theme to bp-default, deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress, cleared cache, create a test user account and then check if BP log in works?

There are 13 files https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates – blogs/create.php and registration/activate.php missing in your list

Need to be a little more explicit with info please. You added extended xprofile fields, with new group or under the base group? What versions of BP and WP are you running? Are you using a custom theme? If you are can you try deactivating it and using the BP-default theme and verify whether the same problem still manifests.

Hi all check this link..
http://electrofriends.com/qna/web-development/wordpress-faq/integrate-buddypress-wordpress-theme/

Step by step procedure is given to integrate buddypress theme to your existing theme

both are the newest versions available. WP is 3.0.5 and BP is 1.2.7 (latest addition i could find). through the course of my troubleshooting I have indeed removed all plugins just BP enabled. theme is “Simple WP Community Theme 1.6”, however I have also tried with just the standalone BP theme included, BuddyPress Default 1.2.7. I have also completely removed BP and completed a fresh install twice – still the same problem.

It looks like it’s your custom child theme that could be the culprit, is the custom child theme your own or someone else’s theme? Which is it? Either JS conflict or you could be missing wp_head or wp_footer tags or something else entirely.

Backticks are like apostrophe’s slanted backward looks like this “` and you need to put a backtick before and another backtick after the code – like the page.php – for that to show up in forum webpage.

=== The following is the Forum.php which I need to change ===

That’s not the file you need to change if you want BP compatibility.
If you have gone through the BP Template Pack process, the pages you need to change are in folders which have been moved by the process to your active theme’s folder as listed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates
So per list above, the file you need to change is the forums/index.php file

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

You do need a working knowledge of HTML/CSS at least to effect the necessary changes. If you cannot do it at this time, you might want to wait for BP 1.3 where BP components are rendered in your regular WP theme if BP is activated. Or in the meantime, you could create a child theme of the bp-default theme (here’s how to https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ ) and use that first.

What BP/WP versions are you on? What BP Theme are you using? Have you deactivated all other plugins except BuddyPress and changed to bp-default theme while you’re resolving this issue?

Thanks mercime,

Permalinks are not set to default.
WP install had no problems previously – 404’s started after installing BP and only occur on BP related links (activity, members, etc)
Was installed via the Plugin menu in WP (automatic)
Have a BP ready theme installed and it’s working – its the links that do not.

Hey Gary ( @ecksteing ),

You might have already observed BuddyPress is nothing but a plugin for WordPress.
Well, as of now there is no such ready made arrangement for the same but Andy has worked on an open source plugin that gives BuddyPress Features into WordPress theme.

I have not tested this but I think this may be helpful to you.

Keep in touch!
