wewetho@mercime, ESFI is a truly international organisation. We are registered in Paris, but our members are dispersed around the world and collaborating only online (besides annual conferences). As a framework organisation, we do not do our own fundraising, but support the national chapters with theirs.
@mercime @bryceburk Actually, if you don’t need social networking, you can do this in WordPress alone. You can use custom post types or categories for countries and states and those are searchable. Users can add posts or custom post types from wp-admin or from front end via

If you want to use BuddyPress – there’s http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/ where you can created different forms which you can configure to contain what you need. Needs PHP and HTML/CSS skillsets for this though.
There’s also the premium Gravity Forms plugin which can work for both WP and BP.
@mercime@kristopherlouie You’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your custom theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
with
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
` or `
` to `
` and move it above `
Save files.
koolkeiththat plugin didn’t work but this one did https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/open-external-links-in-a-new-window/.
Thanks
JLent.Yes it was the installation wizard I was trying to go through I would of remembered that if I could get into my dashboard my apologies. I am using the BP default theme with a WordPress dating plugin from datingsolutions.biz. It was the BuddyPress Template Pack and when it tried to move the files automatically it failed and showed me steps to do it manually, that’s why I used Filezilla.
@mercimeI see. Have you tried https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-external-links/
@mercime@wewetho I see organizational structures, slide presentations and the like. You’re missing an online donation page (or did I miss that?). Curious: Where is the main HQ of ESF located? Telephone number/s? Who or what companies sponsor this organization? Good luck.
verteusWow! I finally found the solution after all kind of testing.
I’ll share my solution in case this helps someone in the same situation :
1. Open the forums tab in buddypress
2. Unsinstall group forums
3. delete the file bb-config.php from your wordpress root directory
4. uncheck the forums component from buddypress
5. Save the page settings in the settings tab
6. Save again the permalinks settings in wordpress
7. check the forums component in buddypress
8. click install group forums in buddypress forums tab
9. Go to admin settings of all the groups I created and click save again the settings
I’m not sure if all those steps are necessary, but I tried everything to make it work. hahaha
Boone GorgesAs Hugo points out, this is almost certainly a memory issue. Check out http://www.nerdgrind.com/increase-wordpress-and-php-memory-limit/ for details on increasing your memory limit. If this is not the problem, then, as Hugo says, we’d need more details from server logs to diagnose properly.
@mercime== In my dashboard, to update the buddypress plugin ==
@jloc14 to clarify, when you update BuddyPress plugin to BP 1.5+, you have to go through the installation wizard as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ As you can see, you do not move any page at all nor have to use Filezilla
== the next step was to move the template files as in each page, register, members, groups, forums, etc. ==
Which most probably means that you are referring to BuddyPress Template Pack plugin instead. What WordPress theme are you making compatible with BuddyPress? We have “template-packed” some WP themes already, check if your theme is in the list – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
@mercime@aprioristic You got it right, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your SMPL theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
with
`<?php
get_header();
global $woo_options;
?>
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
` or `
` to `
` and move it above `
Save files.
verteusIs it compatible with the latest wordpress 3.3.2 ?
jafar1374Hi @juanmaguerrero Thanks
No , The theme is default.
please look at : http://patomatlovers.com/activity
I want to change the sidebar buddypress like this theme sidebar : http://wordpress.site5.net/alltuts/
Anonymous User 8418620@ChrisClayton I tested the code pages, as you said, WordPress does not allow navigation on pages other than WordPress, but ok! But the code: bp_core_sort_subnav_items () did not work, could you give me the complete code on how to change the subnav position form a tab to another tab? Thanks!!!
thebluestockingsI must have done something wrong with the set up, because I can’t get the forums to work either. When I try to go to the forums page, it says that forums have not been set up yet.
thebluestockingsYes, I went through the Installation Wizard, and all of the appropriate pages are associated with the appropriate functions. And, I forgot to mention, I’m running the Buddy Press default theme.
@mercimeDid you go through the Installation Wizard? Check dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages and double-check that the Register component has a Page generated/selected for it.
thebluestockingsSpecifically, it redirects to this url: http://wabb.co/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwabb.co%2Fregister%2F
WeshawThanks, Paul. I dug out this version:
. . . which appears to be working.
Looking forward to 1.6. Sweet work you all are doing.
juanmaguerreroHi, @jafar1374 the design you’re showing is not from the Default BuddyPress Theme… I think you’re using a WordPress Theme or another one. Could you re-check that and give us more information in order for us to help you? Regards!
WeshawI haven’t tested it, but have a look at this:
helpme2012Installed:
WordPress 3.3.1 (installed in root)
BuddyPress Versión 1.5.5
standard BuddyPress theme
Thanks Again 
jyhashNope. Does nothing. I tried deactivating, and going and trying the various tasks, and the widgets will not move, nor can I manually edit pages. This makes me think there is something wrong with the WordPress installation that has become corrupted, or something similar…
@mercime== I would like to be able to track the members and the dates that they lost the love one ==
@enjoywellbeing You can create profile fields for a) date when their loved one was born and b) date died. Then make the fields required.
== I am looking for an easy theme to use for this purpose ==
I would suggest using the default bp-default theme while you’re building your site and adding plugins so you can know that if anything goes wonky, it could very well have been caused by the plugin, etc.
When you’re close to launching the site, you can use a WordPress theme and use BP Template Pack plugin to transfer BP template files and JS goodness. If you need assistance in fixing alignment, check out the list of WP themes we’ve “Template-Packed” so far.
@mercime@kozmica check if your theme has been “template-packed” already. If not, then follow the steps on that page at the top. If you need assistance, post back here.
