BuddyPress.org

Not sure where to start with this, but the `-2-2` problem reminds me of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2642. Note that that ticket had to do with a very specific problem which is, I think, different from yours in the details, but may have the same root issue. As an experiment, try commenting out the following line in `bp-members/bp-members-functions.php`:

`add_action( ‘pre_user_login’, ‘bp_core_strip_username_spaces’ );`

We have job postings and different user roles running on a couple of our BuddyPress based websites.

Essentially though, it’s a task that requires a skilled developer, rather than being a simple configuration.

You’ll need a bespoke build – in our case, we have our own custom post types for jobs, use WordPress user roles & capabilities to differentiate between user types, and ‘hook’ them in to BuddyPress as a new component. For the bells and whistles, we also integrate payments and cron jobs to monitor and tidy up when job ads expire.

There is something wrong with your register page as, I think, it should have Name ( at least ) as a required field under the profile details section.

If I click on ‘complete sign up’ without filling anything in then it redirects to the front page whearas I think it should stay on the same page but with error messages.

Is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/ the plugin that you mentioned in the other topic?

I wonder if it is compatible with buddypress. Buddypress is quite particular about it’s permalinks….. If you disable page-links-to, do you get the profile details content on the register page then?

It could be something else to do with permalinks and the .htaccess file that should be in the same directory as the wp-config.php file.

The usual method for diagnosing issues is to disable all plugins and revert to bp-default. If it then works one can start to reactivate plugins and theme until something goes wrong – ie the last thing you reactivated would be the chief suspect!

oops, i deleted it, so here it is again http://sumtips.com/2011/01/enable-multisite-feature-wordpress-3-1.html

I think the `ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404` line might be complicating things, so I would suggest removing it ( or putting `#` in front ) until the site is working properly again….

Coming up sometime soon https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598 so if you have numerous postings already in your group forums, you might want to use group forums first and wait for the official way to safely move group forums (BP internal bbPress) to sitewide forums (bbPress the plugin)

If the old site isn’t WordPress –

You’ll need to write a script to insert the existing users to your new database.
Might be tricky.

Do a search on migrating from code-base-of-your-old-site to WordPress, you might get lucky.

@hallsy – are you using the “Activity stream extras” plugin? i believe that plugin outputs that message.

== my sister has had to re do a passwords more then 10 times, every time she updates it here she has to re do it again at word press ==
Nope. You only need to create an account at WP.org and you can use the same username and password here and at bbPress, among others.

== we are going to kickapps were we know support is live ==
Know that we are all volunteers living in different time zones. You have the freedom to choose whatever platform meets your needs even if you have to pay for it.

Thank you for your feedback. Good luck.

Honestly I searched for Social Networks CMS ( EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF) Unless you feel like paying 200 bucks for a program or a download link buddypress is the way to go..
Buddypress is very simple to edit and change…

As far as Privacy settings go.. yeah I know buddypress lacks that but it’s REALLY easy to create your own type of plugin to handle the privacy settings, or even script it in.

At times you don’t get a reply, but other times you do. When I did get a reply it helped out a lot.
Perhaps learn some PHP or how Buddypress and WordPress works.

Or just download Elgg and let me know how well that goes.

Best of Luck.
Ps. Buddypress ROCKS

Did you by chance install WordPress through a one click host install?

To make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Also, please check out this info before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

@benstacey Please give info per my post at WP forums

@videogamerznet don’t know if you’re using stable or beta. In any case, just so we’re on the same page and to move this discussion forward, open up your theme’s updated header.php, copy code, and paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated pastebin.com URI here. Do the same for your theme’s updated sidebar.php, footer.php, index.php and page.php

You can attach images to Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin) via https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

As for attachments for Group Forums, old plugin has not been updated for BP 1.5

My BuddyPress, a bp-default child theme, has not been updated for version BP 1.5

Compare the header.php of the My BuddyPress” theme to that of bp-default theme’s header.php where the old links in My BuddyPress have not been updated, among other things.

You could start off with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/ then have to add on the codes for the additional functions that you require, or hire a developer to do so.

@videogamerznet no problem. Where did you download your Arras theme – site URL? There are different sites which do that and I want to know which version you have activated.

@allentan there’s something awry with your installation if you keep giving me the code for the Group Directory Index when I ask for your Clearphoto theme’s index.php file. Assuming you have the original zipped file of your Clearphoto theme, I suggest that you delete the clearphoto theme in your server via Appearance > Themes > Clearphoto – delete. Then reinstall Clearphoto for a clean slate.

Activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Again, for a clean setup.

Then download BP Template Pack folders in your theme’s folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration

Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Clearphoto theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

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
