BuddyPress.org

@rodtrent could be a bug. If WLW won’t still work after deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and changing to bp-default theme, do create a new ticket at BP trac (log in using same username and password used here) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
When you do, give all necessary information to replicate the issue – BP/WP versions, single/multisite, plugins/theme used, Windows or Linux server, etc.

Hi geekandcook, what settings page are you trying to access but unable to? Is this the administration one under your WordPress dashboard?

You can turn comments on and off under the page settings in WordPress. Go to screen options at the top right.

@ashenkargmailcom This plugin can do it but I am not certain if its been updated for the current release of WordPress and BuddyPress. Its a premium plugin so it will set you back a few bucks. Its also a little tedious to configure so be prepared. Here is the link: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/ultimate-facebook/

testbp.org uses both the BuddyPress and the bbPress plugins.

bbPress has its own built-in forum subscription feature; BuddyPress does not have a group forum subscription feature built-in.

However, there is a BuddyPress plugin that enables members to subscribe to a group – BP Group Email Subscription:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

After much searching by @karmatosed and I, we’ve found it’s the https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wangguard/ plugin. You’ll need to contact the author for support.

@dacai – It sounds like these shortcodes rely on javascript to work.

There maybe a conflict between your plugin’s javascript, BuddyPress’ javascript and/or your theme’s javascript (assuming you are not using a variant of the bp-default theme).

I would try to find out the culprit by debugging the javascript with your browser’s developer tool.

If you’re using Firefox, try installing Firebug.

Here’s a video tutorial on how to use Firebug:
http://www.dev4press.com/2010/tutorials/wordpress/various/use-firebug-to-track-ajax-requests-and-responses/

Once you have it installed, turn on the Firebug console and reload your page. If there are errors, the Firebug console will tell you which javascript files are failing.

@k12onos – The .zip download for BP 1.5.7 can be found here:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.5.7.zip

Do not install this on top of BP 1.6. Please try duplicating your problem on a fresh install.

On my local testing on both BP 1.5.7 and BP 1.6, I was able to duplicate your problem. But I believe, the intention was that you shouldn’t nest a component page within a component page and you should follow the method I suggested by creating a “dummy page” as you say.

Let me know.

@rodtrent – I am unable to duplicate your problem. If you have a backup, I suggest reverting back to that and retry your upgrade by following these instructions:

Upgrading to 1.6

What version of WordPress are you using? multisite or regular?

If it’s already a WordPress theme then you’re starting point probably would be the https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/. If you follow a guide like this https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/ – that’s for Twenty Ten but can adapt.

Hi lifemore, can you confirm you followed the steps in this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/transitioning-from-1-5-x-to-1-6/. Also what version of WordPress / BuddyPress did you upgrade from? I assume you’ve checked that both your theme and / or plugins using with BuddyPress are also upgraded to versions for BuddyPress 1.6?

Have you tried re-saving your settings for BuddyPress and permlinks under Settings >BuddyPress and Settings > Permlinks?

If all that is correct, could you please if possible provide a link or find out what path is being called for the images. Be helpful to see what the image is being listed as even if it’s a wrong file.

I also get the same problem, I can still access the main site but not the wordpress admin and I get a similar PHP error as well

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/ ?

Go into the plugin file and edit term “profile”. Then remove the members tab linking to the member directory in the wordpress admin

Fixed plugin is live.

You can probably get back into your admin panel by “deactivating” some or ALL of your plugins. You can deactivate all of them by just changing the name of the wp-content/plugins folder via an FTP software to something else (pluginz). If you are sure that it is Buddypress that is the offender, you can just go in and delete the wp-content/plugins/buddypress folder and see if that gets you back in (don’t worry: all your content from BP is stored in the MySQL table, which is separate from your plugins directory, so you won’t lose anything by deleting a plugin: you can always download another version through the plugin installer).

Alternatively, if you think it’s a theme issue, do the same thing only with the theme. Delete the Mingle folder in wp-content/themes and Buddypress should revert back to the BP-Default theme. If it doesn’t, delete Mingle and Buddpress (the plugin) and then re-download Buddypress and activate the default theme.

As Tammi pointed out, it looks like Mingle is compatible with 1.6. http://themeforest.net/item/mingle-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/235056

I’m not sure if the Invite anyone plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/) has been updated yet to work with BuddyPress 1.6. If it’s not then until it has it wouldn’t be recommended to use with 1.6.

I haven’t updated because I use so many custom bits. But seeing as how so many things changed, I have to ask… why?

Didn’t 1.5 make significant changes to custom BuddyPress usernames, only to remove it in 1.6 to use the default WordPress naming scheme? So this means we’re back to lowercase names?

I can understand making changes to previously broken code, but when other thing aren’t broken, why fix them?

Not that I am aware no, it’s part of the new merging with the WordPress admin bar.

Yes, so do I. Following the instruction from Internet, I have been tried so many times to modify the file ” httpd.conf ” on Apache server. But failed. I was also try to creat .htaccess file but the computer display to me that can not with “.”,because this type of file name only for system.
Who could be help me to install the buddypress? Or give me solution details?
My server: Mac OS X Server(mountain lion)+apache2.2+php5.3 with WordPress 3.4.1+buddypress 1.6+frisco theme.

‘add_filter(‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’);` in your functions.php file to turn off fully.

Alternatively, you can use:

‘Settings > BuddyPress : Toolbar Show the Toolbar for logged out users’

You can also select to show or hide the WordPress admin bar on your own profile.

If none of those work for you then you may need to look see if your theme is forcing something.
