BuddyPress.org

Well the only reason I was setting my permalinks to /index.php/%category%/%postname%/ was because if I didnt ( if i would just set them to /%category%/%postname%/) then my whole site would break… I couldnt click on any other page with out getting a “not found” error.

Even when I set my perma linking to /%category%/%postname%/ my buddy press still goes to a “not found page”

Am I missing something??

I thought maybe updated my wordpress would do the trick so thats what I did last night… and still nothing… in fact now im just left with an even MORE broken site. I guess some of my plug ins arent working correctly with wordpress latest version.

@jeherve – there are some exciting developments happening with bbPress, which should help you build your site.

A new version of bbPress will work better with BuddyPress to provide the one main forum solution you are looking for, backed up by all the advantages of the BuddyPress social platform for looking after the user base.

A beta of the new bbPress (installed as a plugin in your WordPress site alongside BuddyPress) is due around the middle of September. @johnjamesjacoby is leading the development.

Not sure on the reviews / voting, but there are bound to be some good plugins out there.

@johnwinch42 – I think it is a terminology problem:

Each page in a WordPress / BuddyPress site can have it’s own template, so for example a template for posts (single.php), for categories (archive.php), etc.. You can even specialise it further, so that different types of posts have different templates and so on.

BuddyPress extends WordPress in the same way, adding new template files for groups, activity, members, profiles, etc.

A theme is a collection of template files, CSS, and javascripts, that are used together to give your site its design, look and feel.

A BuddyPress site typically has one theme that contains the template files for both the main blog and the social network parts. Although it’s one theme, you can style each part uniquely (e.g. the main blog and social network can look different), because you have different templates within that theme for each part of the site.

Take a look at the BuddyPress default theme (it’s in plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default), and you will see all the separate template files, including sub-folders with the templates for activity, members, etc.

Your secondary blogs can have any WordPress theme you want: you simply install more themes, and assign them on a blog by blog basis to the other blogs.

Did you go to Appearance – BP Compatibility and then go through all steps to final page?

I got it to work. Just download the zip file towards the end of the post and follow the instructions.

@Thorsten that also worked for me…
When using buddypress how do you change it so when you click on “my account”, or any link for that matter, it calls out http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php/groups/ Mine is still defaulting to http://www.yourdomain.com/groups/ even though I changed the permlink settings in my wordpress dashboard

I found this fix and it appears to be working for me:

1. Open the index.php, save it to your theme as posts-page.php (or whatever template name you like).
2. Edit the newly created posts-page.php file and place the following at the top to create a page template:

`<?php
/*
Template Name: Posts Page
*/
?> `

3. Now scroll down in the posts-page.php to the beginning of the WordPress loop and just before the line “ add this one line of code “ Note: (5 == the number of post to show you can change this to whatever you want.)
4. Save the posts-page.php file.
5. In your WordPress/BuddyPress admin panel create a new page called “Blog” (or something similar) and select “Posts Page” under Template.
6. Publish page.

You should now be able to go to your Settings -> Reading menu and set a static page and select your Posts Page to show your blog posts.

Any update on this

@nit3watch – Awesome, it worked, in the sidebar.php in the bp-default I copied the code from line 3 to line 74.. and pasted it into a sidebar widget utilizing the “Executable PHP widget” wordpress plugin, and it works like a charm!

@hnla, yes you are correct… I am using a custom built theme and needed to incorporate buddypress so users can login/register via the front end and manage their profile via the frontend…. it is the only features I am using from buddypress because no other plugin I could find had similar functionality. It gets the job done though, and I like it .

I followed the steps in the template-pack plugin to get it working with my theme, it was pretty smooth and straightforward and I haven’t experienced the overlapping issues stated in the notices. so all is good.

I knew there would be some customizations needed that have to be done manually, I just couldn’t find it in the documentation or via forum searches. I had no idea about the bp-default folder, but now that I do.. I am sure i will be able to solve some of my other problems

cheers!

remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ ,;
remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ ,;

worked for me! thanks..it’s because the remove_action command requires the same priority as the original add_action that was used.
