#update – sorry they will have access to the /wp-admin/ page but it will have no functionality.
The previous link I posted clarifies the role capabilities well. If that is your primary confusion.

Hi, this link shows the roles and levels of access each role has. I think the best way would be to put ‘subscriber’ as the default user level. this way they won’t have access to /wp-admin/ page.

Have you checked out theme authors’ forums http://themekraft.com/forums/ or updates as they usually post the latest updated Custom Community theme at github https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community before it’s released at WordPress.org themes page

A quick and easy way to hide the credits is to go to Appearance > Theme settings and choose the css tab
add the following:

.credits {display:none !important;}

I don’t know if i’ve found the right theme: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/platform – if so the lastest version appears to be 1.3.9.

I’ve just downloaded it and can’t find any of the bp templates in 1.3.8 / 1.3.9 that one would expect in a bp compatible theme…..

There were quite significant changes in the last major buddypress upgrade to 1.5+ so a theme often needs to be upgraded as well

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
