== I have to do more investigation as to whether I can use this plugin with my theme, or how to install it so it is compatible. ==

@nwweavers we have “template-packed” a number of WP themes for BP compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

I’m having this same problem; I don’t know how it started, but threads are getting assigned IDs for deleted threads where the recipients are still in the database (same problem that was found in this trac entry https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3971)

I don’t really want to hack the core to fix it, I’d rather just do a SQL query to delete any recipients for threads that don’t exist. Are there any caveats in doing this?

Ooh, I just discovered that all the old messages don’t have a thread assigned, but they should! This happened during an upgrade from a much older version… I wasn’t involved in that process, so I don’t know quite what happened. I think I can reassign the messages their thread number by looping through the thread message_ids… Is it possible to do that with a SQL query or do I have to use PHP to get the IDs out of the array?

This must be why the new messages started assigning low value thread numbers. Does the new thread take it’s ID from the thread table or the messages table?

@rodtrent for EM dev https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&group=resolution&milestone=1.6.1

I made changes to the WP Admin Bar by adding this snippet to my theme’s functions.php file:

// Customize WP Toolbar
function change_toolbar($wp_toolbar) {
$wp_toolbar->remove_node('my-account-forums');
}

add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'change_toolbar', 999); 

You can remove any individual li by getting the id of it (in your case the li has the id wp-admin-bar-my-account-forums) and dropping the prefix wp-admin-bar-. The part where you remove the prefix is odd and makes it kind of a secret, but it works. I got the original idea here: http://www.sitepoint.com/change-wordpress-33-toolbar/

I have the same problem! Installed BP 1.6.1 within WordPress 3.4.1 Multisite, subdomain setup; activated on network first, ran setup wizard…then deactived on network and activated on root blog id=3 (subdomain i want it on)…went to subdomain and activated it just there….no settings show up in toolbar and uder settings I get “you do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”.

also, during running the setup wizard, i get no buddypress on left menu — so i cannot access components to set up some custom fields…

please help!!!
am dead in the water like shaneholloman…

I had similar issues with a plugin I developed – all fixed now. Your best contacting plugin developers as there do seem to be a few significant changes to core in 1.6.

Blank pages are often due to a plugin/theme throwing an error. The plugin maybe using stuff that’s changed (especially if accessing data structures like the $bp object directly) and is simply throwing an error. Use WordPress in debug mode and check the log file.

You could create an empty text file called /wp-content/plugins/walled-garden.php, paste the following into it, then activate the plugin:
`
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Buddypress Walled Garden
Plugin URI: http://www.example.com/
Description: A brief description of the Plugin.
Version: 0.1
Author: http://www.example.com/
Author URI: http://www.example.com/
License: A “Slug” license name e.g. GPL2
*/

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

// if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )

bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}

add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘groups_action_group_feed’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);

?>`
Tested in bp 1.6.1

The plugin should not have spaces, blank lines, or anything else before “ and use a simple text editor ( like this ) rather than a wordprocessor….

To have a different menu for logged in users is slightly more complicated.

You need to find the template bit that shows the menu.

In the current bp-default theme header.php file is the following
`
false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) ); ?>
`
which can be replaced by
`
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
}
?>
`
Then create the secondary menu in the wordpress menu admin…..

Please backup files and database before trying this out in case there are complications. It would be better to try out on a test/dev site first …..

The proper way is to use enqueue and you can specify location using that: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

It’s just an out-of-memory error. Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

Install my plugin to get option to remove links. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-extended-settings/

BTW, the 3 column theme can be found here, https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns it produce the error mentioned below when clicking the member’s profile.

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in …/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template.php on line 823

You can add my plugin which allows you to remove, rearrange and rename tabs.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-extended-settings/

It looks like some styles are missing. How are you styling the BP content? Are you pulling in bp-default’s stylesheet? Check to make sure that your version isn’t somehow mangled; it should be 2423 lines long https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css

I’m looking over the code, and there’s not a very easy way to make it happen. We have hooks in bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar(), but we’re not passing along enough information to make it possible for filters to make the avatars linkable.

Could I ask you to open an enhancement ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ explaining what you’re trying to do? I can make sure that the filters are improved to make what you’re trying to do possible.

In the meantime, it’s possible to do what you want, though not elegant. Here’s a hint:

`
function bbg_turn_secondary_avatars_to_links( $avatar ) {
global $activities_template;

// Here you’ll copy the logic in bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() to switch between types
switch ( $activities_template->activity->item_id ) {
// Here’s an example of what to do with groups
case ‘groups’ :
$group_id = $activities_template->activity->item_id;
$group = groups_get_group( $group_id );
$url = bp_get_group_permalink( $group );
break;

// You’ll have to do similar sorts of tricks for different content types
}

// Then, wrap the avatar in a URL
if ( !empty( $url ) ) {
$avatar = ‘‘ . $avatar . ‘‘;
}

return $avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar’, ‘bbg_turn_secondary_avatars_to_links’ );
`

This may not work as is (it’s off the top of my head) but it should give you a push in the right direction. Good luck!

WPMU.org recently had a nice writeup on something similar: http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

A few years ago, I wrote a plugin that should do what you’re asking: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-import-blog-activity/ I’m not sure whether it still works as advertised, so you may want to test in a development environment first.

@sudhirsinghinfo if you’re using a child theme of bp-default, then copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php in your child theme’s folder e.g. yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/registration/register.php Open up the file you copied over and make the necessary changes and save file.
