BuddyPress.org

WP/BP version? What theme are you using? If you’re using theme other than bp-default or bp-default child theme, then check if you have this file in your theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/edit.php

== Even with my wordpress.org account I get the same error ==
You use the same username and password to log into WordPress.org and BuddyPress.org, among others. Since you were able to log in and post here, you should be able to log in and post in WordPress.org forums with same username and password.

If you still cannot do so, go to http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-forums

Hello.

I have a Buddypress site using buddypress 1.5.1, bbpress 2.0.2, and WordPress 3.2.1.
I am hosting our site on Godaddy. The main files of WordPress are sitting the site’s root directory as to avoid the “/WordPress” in our url.

Anyway my issue is this: we are using the Default bp theme. I know you are supposed to create a child theme to make changes to the theme, so I am trying to find the code of file where I can add a “tab” at the top of the page under the heading along with “Home”, “Forum”, “Groups”, “Members”, that would be titled, “About”. I want there to just be an “About” tab next to the home tab. If I have to make a child theme, where would I make this change OR should I just make a stick post?

See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen

This doesn’t appear to have anything to do with buddypress.

Unless you have installed and activated (or plan to activate) the buddypress plugin you should really ask any further questions on http://wordpress.org or maybe http://themekraft.com/forums (as you credit their themes)…

.htaccess may not be visible via FTP program unless you enable showing of “hidden” files. Morever, to double-check if you have one, go to webhost server’s cpanel/File Manager.

.htaccess file for single WP installs – https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_and_editing_.28.htaccess.29

But going back to your original post, did you go through the Installation Wizard? If you did, have you checked admin menu > BuddyPress > Pages and check that all components are assigned Pages already?

== another theme(travel blogger 1.3.5) i dont see the post button for activities to be updated. also with this theme , bp reports only 4 registered members instead of 10 ==

@onyekat I will assume you’re using this Travel Blogger theme https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/travel-blogger

Just activated the theme in my test install and I see the “Post” button in activity stream (plus all other buttons) and the correct number of members are showing up. But there is a problem I saw so far: although one can post status update in activity stream but comments/replies on an activity stream posts lead to 404 error page.There’s JS conflict between Travel Blogger and BP.

This is not possible. I created a profile menu plugin. search WordPress.org for it

It’s always a good idea to have a local version of an online site! – buit that’s a different issue…

The main `.htaccess` file should normally be in the same directory as `wp-config.php`

If it doesn’t change or get written when you ‘save permalinks’ it might be necessary to do it manually.

Normally WordPress tells you what needs to be written on the permalinks settings page…

https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_Screen#Save_Changes

I’m trying to do the same thing. Have you gotten anywhere?

This is not a typical BuddyPress install, the usebase is tied into WordPress.com and there was an update to WordPress a few months back and it broke this site so they fixed enough to get site some what usable.

It’s taking longer to fix this site because John Jacoby is adding bbpress forums. Bare with the breakage now and get better support later with refreshed and enhanced forums.

I am having the same exact problem. I have already configured my sever with mod_rewrite and I know that is not the problem.

the contents of my .htaccess files are listed below:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ximbia/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /ximbia/index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Please advise.

Thanks

I have had the same issue today. I am using WordPress 3.2.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.1.

This is more of a WordPress question rather than a BuddyPress one.

Here’s a post that will get you started:
http://wpmu.org/8-wordpress-plugins-that-enable-posting-and-editing-from-the-front-end/

As on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3747, we’ve fixed this in BuddyPress 1.5.2 and BuddyPress 1.6. 1.5.2 will come out same day as WordPress 3.3. If anyone needs this fix sooner, try to backport it from that ticket.

I’m currently using this one, and it’s fab !!!

1. As far as I know, there’s nothing like this yet. Users can only add data through xprofile at the moment.

2. Activate multisite on your wordpress install.

== Let users have their own blog. i read that buddypress has this feature ==
That’s a WordPress Multisite feature which is supported by BuddyPress. Install WP, then create a network, then you have to allow user/s to create blogs in Network Admin > Network Settings.

.== users can add information, images or html code ==
Images can be added in a variety of ways: a) your blog posts – the native WP gallery, and/d or via BP-compatible plugins like the b) free BP Media and the d) premium BP Gallery plugin. Test drive BuddyPress by logging in demo site at http://testbp.org/
