Not sure if that’s what you were asking for but if you are creating a site for your self its better on a server to not use php to call this file and just hard code the direct link.

@Andrea_r I currently have the default theme installed, and have the Twenty Ten child theme is in wp-content/themes. I’m not sure now if I’ve done it all working properly. Is it better to have the Twenty Ten theme if I’m using the CP version too? I’m still so unclear about all this. I’ve read the post about creating a child theme, but I don’t know if I need to do that or not. My site isn’t “live” yet, ie. registrations are closed, so I can still change things around if I need to. I’m just not sure what to do about that.

You have to fool around with the “bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring” filter.

Boone provided a small tutorial on this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-can-i-set-show-newblogposts-as-default-on-acitivity-stream/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-42623

Modify the code to detect a group and change the per_page variable if you’re on a group.

From the point you deleted BuddyPress plugins, themes, and database tables, it’s all WordPress now. If something’s wrong with your WP Theme, reupload your backup of WP themes, that’s all there is to it.

Looks like you’re missing admin and theme stylesheets.
Re-upload WP 3.0 files and folders via FTP or cpanel. Then re-upload BuddyPress plugin as well. Refresh browser and check if bad behavior mentioned above still happens.

the code in the paste bin does not reference a valid filter or action hook.

bp_dtheme_post_update is a function hooked on the action wp_ajax_post_update

you would need to drill down to bp_activity_post_update or groups_post_update – depending on the object type

You shouldn’t have to delete the originals. But since the problem happens when you are using bp-default, I would guess that it has nothing to do with your theme.

Sounds like it doesn’t have anything to do with the theme, then. Have you turned on pretty permalinks? Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks, select something other than the default. Also, were you asked at any point during the installation of WP to create an .htaccess fil?

@brajesh has updated this on his site and now, I can say it is working 100% for me and is a MUST have for all BuddyPress sites, IMHO.

Are you experiencing the same problems when you use the bp-default theme?

If you edit bp-default, when you upgrade buddypress you will lose work done on bp-default.

Twenty ten is the wordpress default theme.

If you do modify it, do it as a child theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

That way when you have to upgrade, your changes won’t get overwritten.

Why not just use a standalone installation of bbPress with a matching theme? bbPress is also coming up as a plugin for WordPress but not anytime soon. So I would suggest you to use bbPress 0.9 and theme it to match with your site
By bbPress 0.9 you get better performance, more plugins working and you can anytime upgrade it to later version 1.0+ or the upcoming bbPress WP-plugin.

You can also look at simple:press – some work has been done integrating that with BuddyPress

@lisa – I share your frustration with the BuddyPress approach to forums; every client we have worked with (6 in total now) has asked for standard forums to be integrated, and not the BuddyPress Group / Forum approach.

The BuddyPress Group / Forum idea might be an interesting technical approach (and logical from a data modelling point of view), but unfortunately doesn’t seem to have been an end user requirements driven decision.

The best approach to get full functioning standards forums (working with a BuddyPress site) is to disable the BuddyPress forums (a simple checkbox in the admin system), and install your forum solution separately – you’ll then want to ensure you have single sign on, and integration with the activity stream – there is some work documented already to do this with simple:press and bbPress (search on their community forums), but I’m not aware of an out of the box fully functioning solution.

Of course, you’ll also want to design your theme to seamlessly integrate the forums.

[aside: I noticed an announcement re: bbPress being moved into WordPress as a plugin. The announcement also said it was being coded by @jjj, one of the core BuddyPress deveIopers. I don’t know how this will affect the functionality of bbPress (more or less featured?), or whether it will integrate a standalone forums solution into BuddyPress by default. Any more info on this @djpaul or @jjj?]

Just wanted to pop in and say that BuddyPress *is* a part of our plans. Probably not at site launch, but definitely in the works.

Hey guys,

i am using Jukt micronics theme downloaded from BuddyPress webiste and avatar crop after upload works in all browsers except IE8. It’s strange that it works in IE7, but not working in IE8.

When i upload the photo it gives me this error:
Message: ‘document.documentElement’ is null or not an object
Line: 153
Char: 486
Code: 0
URI: http://www.teledruzenje.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.4.2

I didn’t upgrade BP to 1.2.5.2. Does this problem occur in new version too?

It would nice if somebody would give some hint to us what to do to solve this strange problem.

Cheers

The default BuddyPress theme, under bp-themes, is the correct place. Any other themes go into wp-content/themes/ as usual. There’s code-magic that makes the WordPress theme page look in the bp-theme folders for the default theme.

I believe your problem is your install path. To quote, “WP installed as a subdirectory (mainsite.com/members).” BuddyPress uses the url “/members/” for its members component. BuddyPress gets confused when you install it in a directory with the same name as one if its components (it can’t parse the URL).

To fix: either reinstall WordPress into the root of your site, or in another directory that’s not called “members”, or try putting this into your wp-config:

define ( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘users’ );

This will change BuddyPress’ “members” URL to “users”, so http://example.com/members/members will look like http://example.com/members/users

URL not found on all links here too.

Running on personal ubuntu lamp install, WP3 fresh install, Buddypress default theme.

Followed the install and selected a different permalink option and nothing seems to work.

What are we missing here??
