BuddyPress.org

We ran into, what I assume here, is the exact same problem that you’re having, but with the BP-Default theme running WordPress 3.5 and BuddyPress 1.6.2, so we tracked down the problem and just implemented the changes from this BuddyPress trac ticket (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4510) that is set to fixed/closed and will drop soon here with the release of BuddyPress 1.7, and all is well again with threaded comments and replies, as well as fixing a few other quirky problems that we were having.

I’m actually a bit surprised that more folks aren’t posting on the support forums here about these same issues directly related to this. I would have to imagine that it’s happening within a lot of other installs, especially considering that it’s definitely occurring within the BP-Default framework.

I hope that this lead helps you out…

Haven’t seen Labzip’s video guide but this is the first time I’ve read that activating bbPress with BP has caused those issues. More likely cause of issues would be theme or plugin conflict. If you change to bp-default theme, can you see your friends and/or invite someone to the group?

I am also having this exact same issue since upgrading. I have also tried a fresh install, deactivating plugins, used BP default theme and still have the same problem as the original poster. I am using WordPress 3.5 and BuddyPress 1.6.2 as well.

There is filter hooks in the function which you should use instead of modifying core, but assuming you’re just modifying core for temporary testing purposes only, you will need to modify the $mode variable as it defines mode 2 (login via wp) by default (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-core/bp-core-catchuri.php#L463)

For production purposes, there is a $redirect url arg (which can be filtered with ‘bp_core_no_access’) that you should use to set your custom login.

…depends where you work…  😉

Compared to some help requests I’ve answered, this site’s rather tame.

CSS design is a very complicated subject. The base BP theme’s CSS file is almost 2,500 lines long and has a vast and intricate style tree. Answering a RFC (request for comments) on a given set of changes to it  is many hours of work, and is beyond what can be handled on these forums.

If you have a specific problem, eg: “When I set style X to Y, the level 2 menus explode” or “How can I invert the color scheme”, the users here will be happy to help you.

Also, be aware there are sweeping changes in the works for BuddyPress’ template system. The core development team is currently re-designing the entire template system to use page-fragment injection. In theory, this will allow BuddyPress to use almost any WordPress template set – not just ones designed specifically for BuddyPress.

I’d estimate they’re about 6 months away from release on this.

Which version of PHP are you using on the server? It looks like others have experienced similar issues with php 5.4: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4191

You do not need to change your theme in the tutorial at all. If you just need a login redirect plugin, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

@naijaping add the following at the top of your theme’s functions.php file
/**
* Sets up the content width value based on the theme’s design and stylesheet.
*/
if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
$content_width = 625;

change 625 to theme content width. See how it’s done with twenty twelve theme https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/twentytwelve/1.1.1/functions.php

akismet needs to be activated with api key and if you are using it on a multisite network the wp config file needs to be modified in order for it give your entire network blanket protection. akismet is a built in plugin for all wordpress sites.

hi there, i have a similar problem on my wordpress multisite, however, unchecking “Show the admin bar for logged out users” doesn’t work for me.
what’s really weird is, on some websites on my multisite the admin bar shows up but not on others.
any ideas?

thanks,
Adam

bp_loggedin_user_domain() used with if (is_user_logged_in())
like it’s done in bp-default theme’s sidebar.php

Please do not ping core developers and moderators of this forum for this topic. You are free to download BP 1.7 trunk and check it out in a test installation:
svn co https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/
or get the zip file at the bottom of this page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk
