@ansidious My condolences to the family and friends of the man who passed away. On BP 1.2,8 — bp-default theme, Lines 51 through 77 show the generated menu items in header.php file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php where the dev could have changed the slugs and other URL

== The plugin buddypress/bp-loader.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist. ==

@prolet What Paul said. Activating BP Template Pack plugin wouldn’t in any way cause that error. We have successfully “template-packed” more than 80 WP themes in this forum alone https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

== BP version. 1.2.8 / WP version 3.4.1 ==

@ansidious I have to say it, BP version 1.2.8 is compatible with WP 3.1 and you should be using at least BP 1.5.7 with WP 3.4.1. Cool to know that you could still push BP 1.2.8 to WP 3.4.2

== My issue is that I can create and edit menu items in the admin of wordpress, but I can not find for the life of me the menu items created with BuddyPress ==

Since you[re still on BP 1.2.8, the menu is hardcoded in the header.php file used by a bp-default child theme or a WP theme with BP template pack.
bp-default supports custom menus since BP 1.5

== I get the normal wordpress user profile editable fields? ==

If you mean the first and last names in wp-admin user settings, then you have to create a script to call those as BP xprofile fields has its own settings. Otherwise, you can create First Name field and Last Name field in User > Profiles panel https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields

The error tells you WordPress can’t find those files. Did you delete them from your plugins directory?

I followed 2 steps to successfully display usernames in the BP members directory & other pages instead of default Display names:

1st step was to install the BP Usernames only plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
This replaced display names across the site by usernames however, when I used the search box on the members directory to search a member, it returned results with members display names again and not usernames. To resolve this, I additionally followed step 2 explained here: http://customwebdesignseo.com/activity/p/3002/

Are you using this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/?

Same problem here. No one is able to complete the registration process successfully.

Using the last versions of both, WordPress and Buddypress.

You’ll want to take a look at the bp_get_displayed_user_nav() function.

There’s a filter there that applies to each menu item, which you can hook into and override.

This is a bug that’s been mentioned here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4532

Until that’s fixed, mercime is right to just check the wordpress.org plugins repository:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress

OK. Now, I see another forum topic that says:

@mercime said 1 day, 19 hours ago:
The plugins have always been hosted at the WP Plugin Repository. You can find a list of plugins tagged BuddyPress @ https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress

No problem, but I suggest it could be a good idea to do a URL redirection when the users clics to “Plugins”.menu. Regards,

B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`

`

with the following for registration/register.php:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save files.

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/wallbase/

D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust to taste.

@guitaragora Based on the structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your wallbase theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your wallbase theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

1. Not sure if the Woo breadcrumbs will work in the inside pages of the BP components.
2. If there’s error/s shown on screen after you upload the changes, remove the following from the top of the file:

and the error persists, remove the breadcrumb as well

== we would like to redirect BP member pages to the new URLs without deleting the profile ==

Basically, go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages – Members > choose page “People, Teachers, Guest, Lectures, Students” and Save. Then in Appearance > Menu, you can create a new menu item named Members and add the URL to the page “People. ….. Students”
