do I have to configure a wildcard for my websites
You only need to configure wildcard if you created a network (multisite) with subdomain structure/mode e.g. http://community.example.com . Looking at your example above with subsite example.com/community in subdirectory mode, so no.
You don’t want both http://www.example.com and http://example.com to both be accessible. Why? Because Google will penalize you for duplicate content ironically from your own site. You need to decide whether you want www or no-wwww. Check what’s in the Site Address of your Settings > General, it should be the same as your WordPress Address, either both have www or both have no www.
Deactivate BuddyPress. You have to resolve the URL issue before you activate BuddyPress again. If you need assistance with this matter, please go to https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
@pssawhney ideally one should be able to change themes without any major issues. That’s why themes in the WordPress Theme Repository must not include shortcodes nor custom post types, etc. And it looks like Envato’s Themeforest is going to require that for incoming premium themes http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/472
If your Huddle theme has shortcodes and built in custom post types like portfolios for example, then yes you would lose the styles for those shortcodes and the portfolio will not be showing up in your new theme. Other than that, BuddyPress data are stored in database so assuming you have an updated WordPress theme which does not have a proprietary templating system, you should be good to go.
Recommend that you set up your own development site which mirrors your live/production site so you can test themes/plugins in development site before installing/activating in production site.
Hello,
I installed BuddyPress and it automatically added a “Log in” and “Register” link in the admin bar. But the problem is, I already added these 2 links before, so now it’s there twice.
How do I remove the Buddypress links? I have tried everything, Googled for hours, but can’t find any solution. I’m desperate!
And I can’t remove my other links either because the Buddypress ones link to the wrong page, and I can’t find their code anywhere.
Help? Thanks!
Wordpress version: 3.5.2
Buddypress version: 1.8
Hi,
I’m running Buddypress 1.8 and WordPress 3.5.2. I’m using Paula’s theme from Themeforest but unfortunately I weren’t able to get proper support from them concerning my problem.
Basically Buddypress wasn’t working at all after the installation. So I copied the page.php file from the bp-default theme folder into Paula’s theme folder (I found that solution posted by another user) and now the pages and everything are showing up correctly.
However I keep having problems when I go inside a member’s profile. I just get code showing up in page, on the top right below the admin bar. It’s like: (username)”/>. It seems like a porting of code is being injected… Also the page title that appears in the browser’s tabs, etc is coming out blank. Using bp-default theme everything works great.
Can you guys give me some tips about which modifications I might need to make?
Thanks

It is an ordinary wordpress theme. Exciter by izithemes.com.

Thanks for ur reply John!
Sounds like your theme has javascript errors in it somewhere. You’ll want to track them down and eliminate them.
Your questions so far have given me the impression that you’re quite new to WordPress web development (modifying plugin files, not knowing how to debug javascript, etc…) If this is the case, you’ll have a better experience by searching the web for similar problems, and solving some of these issues on your own.
That’s true, I have hired a web developer to design my website and he is done now with developing the website and now I found some problems I am trying to fix them on my own that’s why I am asking too many questions these days.
Also, words like “Help!” or “URGENT” don’t actually make anyone help you sooner than anyone else around here. Most volunteers will jump in and help who they can, when they can, — if you appear manic, it decreases the investment someone is willing to make in you, your site, and your topic.
Hoping to not sound discouraging. We’re excited you’re using BuddyPress, and want you to enjoy our community to its fullest.
No I understand you, I am already an admin on a big forum which has around 27K members and alexa rank around 35K and veryday I face members who ask questions like this ( like me 😀 ) and I know it won’t help but the previous question when I said urgent I was really afraid that all the data in the website has been lost because I didn’t have backup since around 2 days and I added so much stuff int the past couple of days and in this question I just was mentioning it’s a question by saying “Help!” and nothing more
Thanks again!

Hey there,
lost attachment links in posts after switching from legacy group forums to bbpress forums!
Here is what I did: After having upgraded to bp 1.8 I got errors for group forum pages regarding groups created after the update, still using the legacy group forums (only removed server urls):
Warning: substr() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in ***/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 776
Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in ***/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 783
Warning: explode() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in ***/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php on line 789
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ***/wp-content/plugins
I found out that the group forums were recommended to be replaced by bbpress group forums so I followed this guide: and it worked, except for all attachments were not in the forum posts anymore.
For attachments I had used the U Forum Buddypress Attachments plugin.
Since we need these attachments I was wondering whether anyone had a clue as to how to transplant the existing attachments to the recommended bbpress 2.3 group forums?
Likely would mean to transfer the “U Forum Buddypress Attachments” structure to something like ?
For now, I had to roll back the database to before the switch. So now I do get above error message again, but at least forums with attachments are working!
Any help regarding the move from legacy group forums to bbpress forums with the attachments would be highly appreciated! 🙂
I think now it’s better because my website developer helped me with it http://www.techknowledgic.com/forums
but if a visitor wants to register do they have to register with wordpress to be able to log in to my site? I mean I can’t have my own registration area?

Hi there,
I run a community site with BuddyPress.
Here the members of a BuddyPress group should be automatically assigned to a WordPress role
The reason for this is a calendar plugin on which the members of this group require access.
Currently I always equal members from manually, but this can also lead to errors.
How can I handle this the easiest way?
Is there a plugin or a small hack?
Thank you and best regards
Markus
@faramarz let’s start at the beginning, WP/BP versions? Is this a new installation or did you upgrade from previous BP/WP versions? Where are you hosted?
– Did you follow the steps at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ ?
– Try basic troubleshooting procedures like changing to Twenty Twelve theme and deactivating plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress and let me know what happens.
The same setting works just fine on my local XAMPP but it doesn’t work on production server.
How did you install WordPress in production server – via webhost’s one-click install or did you install it manually e.g. FTP? If via webhost’s one-click install then you could encounter some hiccups in your production site see https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements
@hnla, Hugo, I was able to figure it out! (Jumping up and down!)
I got it to work! Whew!
I did a lot of different things, including installing an older version of bbPress, but I don’t know if that matters. Actually, it probably does, because I was then able to see the forums on the backend again.
What did seem to make a difference was downloading the Members Plugin and changing the roles for Administrator. A bunch of them were not checked, including the role of a Participant. I checked everything and was able to post again. I then updated to the latest version of bbPress.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
I hope that it doesn’t do this again. A major pain! It took me all day to try different things and get it to work.
I tried to deactivate bbpress and the forum got deleted and the page which is mywebsite.com/forums became not available and giving 404 error and when I activated it again it worked again and in both cases I can’t see log in or register or anything in the page
and about the second question actually there was someone that was developing my website and he is done now with the website and now I am just trying to fix some issues with it before I launch it so idk if he used GoDaddy or not but when I log in to my admin area I see this message “Go Daddy Quick Setup ™
Build your WordPress site in just a few clicks.
Get Started No thanks, I’m good.” and sure with pictures and stuff but this is in general so maybe he didn’t use GoDaddy and also I have an FTP account to upload files or images but I just edit my site by the admin area mywebsite.com/wp-admin
and here is the link of the forum if you wanna check it clearly and see the details http://www.techknowledgic.com/forums

@techknowledgic re your #3 answer – do you mean that even you cannot log in or that only users cannot log in? If you deactivate bbPress, can you/users log in or register?
Going back to basics. Did you by any chance create your WordPress installation via webhost’s script i.e., via GoDaddy WP one-click install? If so, that’s not going to work with BuddyPress, see https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/
@jianzhi Manual edit at this time 🙂
Edit your first post, add [Resolved] to front of title. For your own forums, you can install a cool plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddy-bbpress-support-topic/
@jarth3000 BP 1.8 is compatible with WordPress 3.5.2. Your WP and BP versions? – If you change to Twenty Twelve theme, are errors cleared?
Hi All,
I am using WordPress version 3.5.2, Buddypress Version 1.7.2 and BBpress 2.3.2.
I’d like set the topic url of group forum as http://mysite.com/groups/4/forum/topic/5. As you can see, the topic slug is replaced by topic id.
I tried to change the function of bp-forum/bp-forums-template.php
But it doesn’t work.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks
just call bp_loggedin_user_avatar fuction, it print html code of the avatar (without echo)
bp_loggedin_user_avatar( ‘type=full&width=150&height=150′ );
Hi @meg@info,
This only works in activity or profile page. In wordpress pages not load the avatar.
Greetings
