BuddyPress.org

Some webhosts need an extra plugin to send mail.
Such as: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/
and/or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

Simplest way: On lines 38 and 42 of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/blogs-loop.php try changing
“
to
`/blog`

So if you’re using a bp-default child theme, create a folder named blogs and copy over blogs-loop.php over from bp-default theme and make the changes. If you used BP template pack plugin, open up the file in blogs folder transferred to your WP theme.

#1 and #2 I suggest you contact Headway theme devs/support as they know their complicated theme inside and out. Although I’m sure they know it by now, you can refer them to the BP Template Pack compatibility process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

#3 – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ Though again, something you should bring over to Headway theme devs/support.

== On my dashboard and changed the wordpress adress url to wordpress.org ==

This is a WordPress issue now. You’d have to dive into your database to fix this

Note for #12= In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new (CORRECT) address.

Re: Theme
Try Trending by Justin Tadlock multiple nav menus https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/trending
Recommend building and activating a child theme of Trending then with the child theme activated, install and activate the BP Template Pack and go through the compatibility process.

Re: Can’t get to Support page
Go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages > Directories – Discussion Forums and select -None- and click on Save button. Then run Settings > Permalinks to the year/month setting I set up earlier.

Please do not post test username and password with admin privileges in this forum. I’ve deleted the information. Delete the user you created.

Graphene is a nice theme but spout out too many errors – from creating the sitewide forums index page where it required post thumbnails etc. to adding the page to main navigation where it included the shortcode used to generate the forum index page.

The sitewide forums is functioning http://www.meetinbradford.org/support/ using the bp-default theme.
Reminder: Do not click on Repair button in – “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums”.

Have you loaded a translation file for WordPress, too?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2462 ? Does it fix when you refresh the page?

BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin (obviously), and as that setting is a WordPress option, it’ll take affect anywhere. Where exactly do you see the Register button on your site if not on a BuddyPress template page?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/ doesn’t have collapsible tree but a very good start.

Change to bp-default theme and you’ll see all the Pages generated so far. Use custom menu feature and choose which links you want to be there in main navigation. https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/

I installed it and got this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/peterbuj/public_html/bluconvo.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-better-directories/includes/admin.php on line 42

If anyone knows what is going on, let us know.

@ssoskriszta – just to note that you’ve got a better chance of being helped over at WP.org forums for that specific plugin – https://wordpress.org/tags/bwp-recaptcha

Apologies for resurrecting this old thread, but I’m hoping someone might be able to help.

I’ve been trying to use the Import from Ning plugin to import users from a CSV file. I created the CSV file manually – the users were originally listed in a plain html file.

My problem is that when I try to import, the plugin says:

“In order to run the importer, you must first use your FTP program to upload the contents of your Ning export into a directory called ning-files in your wp-content directory. The plugin couldn’t find a valid members file at /home/mp83lbho/public_html/w/wp-content/ning-files/ning-members-local.json, which probably means that you haven’t uploaded the files to the right place. Upload your unzipped export to the json directory, and try visiting this page again.

If you’re sure that your files are in the right place, then the most likely explanation is that your ning-members-local.json file is invalidly formatted. Contact Ning to ask about getting a new one.”

I’ve tried creating a blank json file with that name, in the right location, with no luck.

Creating a json file itself seems pretty simple too (I’ve been looking at http://json.org/example.html), but I’m confused as to what it needs to contain – do I add all the user info into the json, or is the json file just to tell the plugin what information from the CSV goes where?

If anyone could throw some light on this that would be great, or upload a sample json file with accompanying CSV.

Thanks

In the current BP system, you’d need to create groups for each of your cities.
Then enable the discussion forum for each group and you should be good.

You might be more interested in using the bbPress forum plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress

An example of the bbPress plugin in action can be found here:
http://testbp.org/discussion/

Full BuddyPress integration with bbPress is scheduled for the next major release of BP, v1.6.

@porscheheritage – BP 1.5 requires at least WP 3.2; upgrade your WordPress install to WP 3.2 and you should be good!

What @modemlooper said, definitely the easiest and simplest way to do it, but if you want to integrate with certain activities, posts etc, try: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-share-it
However, this doesn’t exclude anything, which means EVERY activity can be posted.

now, if only you could combine the awesome Buddypress extras from etivite: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-extras/ then you’d have a killer combo
