BuddyPress.org

@toggerybob – if you did all that and nothing is working – I would delete everything and do a fresh install of wordpress first. Then Bp..

you could backup your stuff you got now – zip files and such… but your site is basically blank right now – so a fresh install, deleting all your old wordpress files and connecting to a new blank database may be the easiest way to hash this out.

@toggerybob
change your permalinks to pretty permalinks in the wordpress settings,
then activate bp.. then go run through the config / page associations (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/ )

should be good to go at that point.. you may need to create a few blank “pages” like activate and register – or they may populate…

This is not a BuddyPress related question. Please read here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_on_Microsoft_IIS
http://www.microsoft.com/web/wordpress

Could it be possibly caused by other plugins?

Yes, it’s possible, but i doubt it’s the case. To get sure, you can deactivate all plugins except BP and track down a culprit.

If the page or the whole site is blank after adding custom code, it’s generally due to missing tags or a php error.

Errors can also be generated by software who modify the file format. For example if you use the WP editor to add something to bp-custom, and you’re on the visual tab, you get weird results. Same thing if you edit bp-custom locally with Word or other such text-editor….

More about this here.

haha, @hnla <3 the side effect of wp’s teaser:
One central account.
One unified admin area.
One click install.

… how long whould it take to finally repair & make this forum and codex pages to work correctly, with a clear admin ?

2008 – BuddyPress is born.
2015 – shoemaker’s son always goes barefoot !

Try the BP Disable Activation Reloaded plugin.

Hi Hugo, I created bobbingwide and herbmiller on wordpress.org on 21st Dec 2010.
My other ID, vsgloik came later, on 30th Apr 2012.

For each account I can see the Create New Page link, but it leads to You attempted to access the "BuddyPress Codex" dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site. etc

The Visit Dashboard link tells me You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

This smacks very much of WordPress TRAC 29714, a duplicate of 22895.

@lo133 – there are many, many reasons for NOT..

but in case you are looking to do such (a horrible thing for your site, your users, their privacy, crappy buttons cluttering up..)

A quick search via startpage.com shows there are several discussions about this and it appears that multiple people have discussed and come up with ways to do such a (n evil) thing..

including.. https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-social/
discussions for doing this with various methods outlined from three years ago – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/share-activity-on-social-network/

I would imagine there are some updated options as well, or it should be simply to tweak existing code that is already in the wild and gpl to do this today.

of course you could also search the forums here and find more info about that more than likely – and a search in the wp-repo may bring up some free options to test that may do exactly what you are describing.

I myself am glad this stuff is not included in core – as I would be searching for ways to remove every single last little bit of any third party code / assets and or dependencies..

kind of like what needs to be done with recent updates of wordpress core – removing google fonts, removing gravatar, third party emoji, blah blah. meh.

A similar recent thread with some info: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/create-new-login-widget/

So we are clear, a regular “wordpress login widget” IS a buddypress login when you have BP installed.. (99% sure on this)

@wpguru6
you MAY have a “bp login widget” under widgets in themes-appearance-widgets and not need to get into the actual php codes.. and there are plenty of other addons in the wp-repo as well ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=login+widget )

add a custom post or video with another widget perhaps?

@gioabove5k
Should be no big deal..
if you are sure you permanently deleted them (also emptied the trash in wp or whatever) – then just create a 5 new pages.. register, activity, groups, activate, members.

each one blank – check to see if wordpress makes your new pages “register-2” or not – if so – you may have just deleted the page, and not actually permanently removed it via the trash thing…

then go into your components settings and make sure the things are linked there –

Configure BuddyPress

no big deal at all

Salaam !

Read here please

translate.wordpress.org (GlotPress)

BuddyPress is actually translated to 31% to persian. You can complete it here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/2.2.x/fa/default

And ask to became a validator or editor here.. Eeven if it’s a WordPress crew, somebody can perhaps give you more advice. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=fa_IR

@devbynature
kind of a mashup of these two I guess – https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-groups-import/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/invite-anyone/

with an extra email out instead of just within the bp internal mail thing I guess.

Interesting idea.

Not sure if anyone has made anything more along these lines..

@jrunfitpro – one more question for ya – in your original post are you saying that you have like “static wordpress “pages”” – and when people leave a comment on one of your pages that the info does not get pulled into your activity stream?

I think I have a similar thing going on with one of my wpmu err.. wordpress multi-site setups – and not sure that the main site’s “page” comments are pulled into the main activity stream either – I have a widget that displays the recent comments on the side, not sure if there is a way to pull newer comments on a page published two years ago into the current / top of the activity stream.

This may be an issue that is not just a theme thing but other setting somewhere.

@jld142 – I would think you would find more info about making widgets via the wordpress.org site – and basic bing searches for other resources on that. I would suggest that you look into the other login widget plugins that have already been created and are freely available and gpl in the wordpress plugin repo – (https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=login+sidebar ) you may find one that already does everything you are trying to create, or one that you can fork and enhance – just a click away.

The recommended method is to turn off other plugins and / or switch to a standard theme like WP 2015.
Due to permalinks aspect, I suspect another plugin.

If that doesn’t narrow it down, you can submit a bug ticket here.
But you should provide better instructions on how to duplicate the issue.
This is unclear: “To break the site navigate to the profile and page to another page/set of users and the page does an ajax call to load the view”

When you “upload and extract buddypress,” – are you putting it domainroot(wordpressinstallroot)/wp-content/plugins/ folder?

there are several wp plugins that can redirect a user upon login to specific pages.
I can’t put more than two links in a reply without getting moderation held / akistmet spammed.

not sure if / how this works – seen it – never played with it:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-my-home/

might also take a peek if these can updated / adapted..
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-widgets/

BuddyPress Cover
Content Aware Sidebars

several others – now do any of these work with the current version of wp / bp ? I don’t know.
Do they work with the default theme and then cause issues if a different theme was used? don’t know.

Do they cause conflicts with other plugins? have not tested.

Did you try using:
apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_name', $field->name );
and / or
apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_is_required', (bool) $retval );
from bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-template.php ?

You can open an enhancement ticket here.
