BuddyPress.org

I had used a fresh installation.
1. Installed WP using the instructions given at https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress.
2. Installed BP according to the “Manual Installation” steps given at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation.
3. When WP prompted “BuddyPress is ready. You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress compatible theme to take advantage of all of the features.”, I used the BuddyPress Default 1.2.7 theme.
4. I try to login as a normal user and nothing happens.
5. I try to login as admin-user and I can log in correctly.
6. If I disable buddypress, I can log in as a non-admin user.
7. If I enable BP again, I can’t login as a non-admin user.

Please let me know if I can provide any other information.

great answer, waiting for BP1.3.

Just to clarify, if i only want to disable http://www.mysite.com/members for level0 membership, in which .php file should I add the code you provided?

Should it go in: index.php in the mytheme/members/ folder? In that case, that file has no

Hi, I should preface this by saying that I’m not a BuddyPress developer as such, but have been coding WordPress themes professionally for a couple of years, and have been researching BP and putting together a BP-based startup for the past couple of months, so have been through these questions myself, and my own early steps may prove useful.

1. See https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/

2. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/ might be interesting. There’s another, more granular, privacy plugin that the community has its fingers crossed for, for further details see http://bp-privacy.com/

3. All of that should, and does, happen as a matter of course.

4. Semantics aside, they are all “subscribers” as far as WP is concerned, ie. members and commenters are one and the same.

5. BuddyPress themes contain extra template files for the parts of BP that are an extension on the WP template system (eg. activity, groups, user profile etc.) plus various css and javascript files. Running a regular WP theme with BP running won’t give you the framework to display that BP functionality. In order to achieve that, your WP theme needs the extra template files. You have two options, each with benefits and drawbacks:

a) Extend your existing theme with the required template files, javascript and css to enable and display the BuddyPress sections and functionalities. See https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ The drawback is that next time BuddyPress is updated, you might be faced with quite a fair amount of development getting your site aligned with the latest code base, new features etc.

b) Constructing a child theme. This relies on running the Default theme, and then adding your own css overrides and theme hacks as a non-destructive layer on top. The principle is that you can strip away your own additions, and you’ve still got the Default theme running beneath it, so in a sense it’s “unbreakable” and whilst you may need to modify your additions once BP is next updated, the underlying template will always function. With a decent caching strategy, unless you’ve expert level php behind you, I think it’s the way to go.

Disable all WP and BP plugins except BuddyPress, change theme to bp default theme. Then check login by users. If users can log in, activate plugins one by one and activate custom theme and check which is the culprit.

More info needed, like WP/BP versions? Have you deactivated all plugins (which includes all BP and WP plugins, MU plugins and bp-custom.php) except BuddyPress and change theme to bp-default, cleared cache and checked if cropping works?

See if you remove this code from one of the BP template files. go into activity/index.php and remove these two things from top and bottom. See if this fixes issue. normally you would add your themes wrapper divs to the BP files but since they are in the header you may need to remove BP’s wrapper files.

<div id="content">
     <div class="padder">

      </div><!-- .padder -->
</div><!-- #content -->


Post up the header.php code as well. I think you might have a theme that has the main wrapper in the header file.

You just learned the hard way that when trying to track down a problem, start by deactivating all plugins and revert back to bp-default. Then reactivate things one-by-one, starting with your theme.

9 times out of 10, the problem will be a plugin conflict.

@satomom – No membership software. Just some basic PayPal subscription buttons and theme/function customizations based on whether a user is logged in or not. This method requires more oversight and maintenance (ex. if someone cancels their subscription), but it keeps everything simple for upgrades.

If you use a non BuddyPress theme then you need to do a little more work search for BuddyPress template pack plugin. Install and follow directions. This will move some extra theme files into your WordPress theme and include the necessary functions and JavaScript to run BuddyPress

By editing the Activity Stream Reply to fit your theme This is what your looking to edit.

`div.activity-comments form.ac-form {
display: none;
margin: 10px 0 10px 33px;
background: #fafafa;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
padding: 8px;`

You must go and find that Rule, or add it to your theme and edit it to how you like

What is your theme? Custom or Default?

The textbox is overlapping the content, and the css class is “hidden” so you need to go into your theme’s css and edit the styles:

`div.activity-comments form .ac-textarea {
padding: 8px;
border: 1px inset #ccc;
background: #fff;
margin-bottom: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;`

what theme did you switch to?

Thanks! i put it on the default functions theme becouse i think that my theme use that!

and it seems that is working!!

@parufito add code to your active theme’s functions.php file. If your theme doesn’t have one, create functions.php and add the code between “, save and upload to your active theme.

Another with the same problem, but with Unplugged theme.

Don’t know how to apply that last fix from Josh.
Wich is the exactly path for that file?

I can’t get into your blog posts, which means you’ve got a bigger rewrite problem. Revert to the twentyten theme, disable BuddyPress and then fix the rewrite permalinks; best place to ask for / research common problems with WordPress is at https://wordpress.org/support/
