BuddyPress.org

resolved , for those who are interested: http://www.famousbloggers.net/3-wordpress-tricks.html

BuddyPress activity replies only work when javascript is enabled. This is a known issue:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3705

The problem is your theme (and/or plugins) is conflicting with BuddyPress’ javascript. If you check your browser’s debug console, you should see some javascript errors.

Try to nail down where the issue originally came from. It should be a plugin or your theme’s JS that is the culprit.

This isn’t really a BP-related question, but a robots.txt file is usually not necessary; it’s only needed if you want to block certain bots from your site.

More info here:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156449

Also make sure you’re not already using a robots.txt plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/irobotstxt-seo/

You shouldn’t use the members loop if you don’t need it.

A more efficient call is using bp_core_fetch_avatar() and setting the parameters there. (Make sure you use a function_exists() call if you use this approach.)

You can alternatively filter get_avatar() as well using bp_core_fetch_avatar() as well.

There’s a second method in above link which you can use for your theme. If you need further assistance, open up your WP theme’s header.php in text editor and copy all code, then go to pastebin.com and paste the code and click submit. Post the generated pastebin.com URL here. Do the same for your WP theme’s index.php, page.php, and footer.php

If you’re using BP 1.5, it’s done the same way as you would do in regular WP installation.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

– Create a blank new Page titled e.g. Blog, News, etc. and publish it
– Go to admin dashboard Settings > Reading >Front Page Displays > A static page. Select “Activity” for Front page and then select “Blog” or whatever you named the new Page, for your Posts page.

To log into your admin area, delete or rename the plugin directory ( /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-kaltura-media-component/ ) using ftp or cpanel. WordPress will deactivate it….

That plugin is shown as incompatible with bp 1.5 in august. The error is the same – https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/

Further info about that particular error is on: http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/wiki/DOCS_BP_FixingPlugins_phpError

#1.
a) Copy over index.php file from bp-default theme to your child theme folder.
b) Open up index.php in child theme folder and make the following change. On line # 37 of that file, replace:
“
with
`<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content( __( ‘Read the rest of this entry ?’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
}
?>`
c) If you don’t have one yet, create a blank functions.php file in your bp-default child theme folder, then add the solutions to excerpt length and “Read more” are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

#2. The avatar with username is wrapped in div.author-box lines 22 – 29 in the same index.php file you copied over

EDIT – took too long to answer. Didn’t see Xevo’s post

1. https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt Since the default buddypress theme uses the_content.

2. http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-post-thumbnails-in-wordpress/ Should get you going.

If you’re reinstalling BP from ground up, make sure you installed WordPress manually instead of using webhost script to install WP otherwise there’ll still be problems in your BP.

Create a new menu in the WordPress admin then set it to the mobile menu and add items.

Just re-install buddypress and not wordpress? Then yes, just remove those.

You can simply replace the WordPress search form code in your theme template with the following (it will give you the standard BP search form for Members, Groups, Blogs, Forums, Posts). Plus, the “Search anything…” default text will disappear when the user clicks in it.

`<form action="” method=”post” id=”search-form”>
<input type="text" id="search-terms" name="search-terms" value="” onfocus=”if (this.value == ” ) { this.value = ”; }” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) { this.value = ”;}” /> in

<input type="submit" name="search-submit" id="search-submit" value="” />

Sounds like a bug. Can you report it on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org please? You can use your username and password from here.

The problem IS the parent theme Detox. With all the warnings and deprecated notices generated, if that theme was submitted to the WordPress Theme Repository, it would not be approved with all those errors. That theme is listed with issues on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/

You have to fix the theme, or drop it and get a WordPress Theme. Then install BP Template Pack plugin. Go through the BP compatibility process and if you need help with that, post here.

I have exactly the same problem . After replying on some activity post I get Page not found. I have latest Buddypress and wordpress with default theme and have never had Buddystream installed.

if you want to modify that behavior you can edit the theme files which i did for my community. users browsing the page don’t see anything unless they register. i used the wordpress-function is_user_logged_in()
files to consider:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php
and to hide the rss-button (private groups still in rss if you know the link or browse the source code – but users not logged using the site don’t see anything):
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php

This seems to be a nice plugin that works on buddypress:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-recaptcha/

Some slight manual additions (just add your recaptcha keys into the actual php file), but apart from that, clean, simple it seems.

So only BuddyPress pages dont work, but your normal WordPress pages work with pretty permalinks?

Not sure if this is still something to be worrying about, but you had to “re-save” your pretty permalinks after installing BuddyPress, if you havent, try that.

You’re right not to take it personally. Know that 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers who live in different time zones. If your post has not been answered within 24 hours, feel free to bump your topic here.

First off, what versions of BP and WP are you on right now? What premium theme/child theme are you using? Doesn’t premium theme author give support?

== in which the Parent has supposedly been updated for the latest version of BP. ==
“Supposedly” is the operative word. Install the Theme Check plugin and the Log Deprecated Notices plugin to see what’s going on with the parent theme. Run these as well on the child theme (in case it copied outdated template files from parent theme and were not updated).

== I’ve switched to BP-default theme, ran the plugin BP template pack ==
If you’re using the bp-default theme, you do not need the BP Template Pack plugin — this is only used for and with regular WordPress themes to make those compatible with BuddyPress.

I am using wordpress with the buddy press login and when I go to look for the default BP theme I don’t see it. I see all of the other themes however.
