BuddyPress.org

Does BuddyPress work fine on the main site after the upgrade? What version of WordPress are you using?

We can add one for you. Please raise an enhancement request on https://buddypres.trac.wordpress.org. You can use your username and password from this site to log into Trac. Thanks!

If you’ve been unable to recreate the problem yourself, it makes it very difficult for us to recreate it. If you figure out how to recreate it, let us know.

@rogercoathup After going through the Installation Wizard where a Forums page with the “forums” slug was automatically created https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-install-03.jpg the first thing I do is to go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and select “none” for the Forums page and save. Then I go to Settings > Forums and make sure the archive base is “forums” and that in the BuddyPress section in same panel, made sure that the “Enable Group Forums” option is not checked. Open up the “Forums” page and I just add the bbPress shortcode/s etc

EDIT – djpaul, didn’t see you there when I answered roger’s post

Sure. In wp-admin, create a new Menu (under the Appearance header), and you can set your own order. There is some instruction on https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide how to set up the menus.

To fix alignment in Step 3 of the BP cmpatibility process. initial scan shows that you would need to revise 16 BP template files which were transferred into your eclipse theme folder during BP compatibility process. If you still want to proceed, let us know here.

DUPLICATE THREAD – you’ve already asked this question a number of times – please bump your old thread rather than starting a new one.

It’s also been explained to you that 2037 is a PHP date limit, and nothing to do with WordPress.

Post more info. Are you using an iphone or android, is it the bp-default theme?

== This only happens when they are browsing in the Forums. ==

Group Forums or bbPress sitewide forums? What theme are you using? Also, are you using any membership plugin?

Go to WordPress.org’s BuddyPress page, click developers and it will list past versions

@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?
