When installing BP it does not auto create the page as it has on previous installs
and gives the following error:
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, User Groups, Members [REPAIR]
Can you hepl?
Hi,
I have BuddyPress installed on Evolution by Elegant Themes. Everything appears to work but I am struggling to understand how users will access the Buddypress section of the site or even know it’s there. Currently the only option is via the “logged-in” bar at the top of the screen.
I would like something that most users will find and I don’t think this is the case at present.
I tried adding a custom link on the main WordPress Theme menu but this doesn’t work because I can’t pass the logged-in user’s name within the URL.
Here’s a screenshot
Am I missing something? Is this how BuddyPress typically works?
How can I add a link from the main WP menu to (say) the activity page of the user (not sitewide). Sitewide might be ok if the user could then go to other areas or BP but they’re jailed in Sitewide for some unknown reason.
I have few pages in static HTML including home page
I have installed wordpress in network subdirectory and buddypress- social network at “http://network.mydomain.com”
but BBpress is having the url “http://network.mydomain.com/forums/forum”
i want to make it as “http://forum.mydomain.com”
Any suggestions
Hi friends, can you help me? i have an problem with avatars on my buddypress multisite. All is fina and the avatars are upload and show well on main blog of community, but whem i go to another blog created the avatar is missing.Seems like there the avatars are on wrong url
for main site if i click and see the url of the avatar is this: sitedomain/wp-content/uploads/avatars
but in the blogs created, where the avatars aren’t show sucesfull the url is: sitedomain/avatars,
so here is missing /wp-content/uploads.
What’s the problem o How i can fix this problem
I’m running actually the latest versions from both, wordpress and buddypress…
Thank’s
@flyveren Okay, I will do as you suggest. I did look around in my db and I couldn’t differentiate the buddypress tables from the rest of the tables. I’m going to read up on this.
A fella like me that’s new at all of this, I don’t need the Beta version. I have successfully re-installed 1.6.4 and everything is working great. I really like this BuddyBoss theme. My mother is going to like it, too, when she sees it.
I’m glad to hear that you have this theme as well. If I have any questions, I will send you a mention.
I do have one concern that although everything is fine now, when it comes time to upgrade to the newest BP version when that time comes, that everything will go as planned. I think there’s something to be said for allowing WordPress the chance to install plugins and themes on its own instead of using FileZilla. I would imagine the final version of BP will be slimmed down to clear entry into WP. Either that or WP will update just prior and relax the upload limitation a bit and allow a slightly bigger BP folder to come up and install.
I’m going to enjoy my new theme and get building my social site. If you, or anyone, thinks I should clear those tables and reload 1.6.4, please let me know. I’m not afraid to try it. If you think the tables are fine — because my site is running fine — I’ll leave then alone. I just hope when the day comes to upgrade that I’ll be okay. By then, I’ll have a great deal of time invested in my site.
Thanks for taking the time and helping!

– What you need to know about WordPress MU : https://mu.wordpress.org/
– While using WP 3.5.1 you can activate a network by adding define multisite=true into wp-config.
Aside, you have two possibilities: sub-folder sites (hxxp://example.com/my_second_site/ or sub-directory site (my_second_site.example.com/) This choice need a wildcard on your host DNS. Both need also some consequent storage capabilities and preferably a VPS/VPN/dedicated server.
– The main site is where WP is installed (normally at the root > hxxp://example.com/wp-content, etc)
– Now you install BP and give your members the possibility to create a blog (or not, and you create them yourself). Those blogs will appear on the BP Blog Directory. Each blog has his own admin interface and individual settings and theming. From the main blog you have to allow or not some of these settings and themes/plugins
– <cite>BP Root Blog and for what purpose?</cite> defining a root blog gives priority to the designed blog over other blogs, activities and different other informations (i.e latest post in the latest post widget) Secondary blog posts will only appear in the site wide activity and on their own sidebar, if the latest post widget is set (for example).
BP shows only a community style template sytem (over some customised components), but it is WP who manage the network.
i recommand you to read the WP codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
https://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration
also test a fully operationnal BP install on http://testbp.org/ to try to undestand how all this works. 🙂
I just installed a BuddyPress fully-compatible theme called BuddyBoss. I don’t have it all finally tuned yet with menus and widgets, but I have to say, this is pure fun!
Having a professional theme makes me want to stop screwing around with the style sheet and just enjoy developing a social site. This theme was only $60, and I spent a full week looking at live demonstrations before I made my decision. I focused my search strictly on BuddyPress compatibility and went with appearances after that. BuddyBoss moves the standard admin bar links down to buttons and removes the bar altogether. It really looks clean.
Give it a test run — anyone! I don’t have a site counter and stats tracking, so please don’t worry about that. I just want to share the experience.

I’m running WordPress 3.5.1 and BuddyPress 1.7 Beta1
On another note — on another site of mine for practice — today I created my first theme. It’s a child theme. So far all I’ve done is hook up the ftp settings in my CoffeeCup html editor and created a new style sheet for Twenty Twelve. I applied a one pixel border to the parameter and added radius corners. I’m going to hit the practicing really hard now. I’m excited and really enjoy WordPress.
Thanks for reading, and thanks to the BuddyPress team for making BuddyPress. You are all great!

is it the adminbar u are talking about… the gray thing in the top that says buddypress.org this should be translated together with your wordpress site 😉
@chouf1 if I always display the admin bar for wordpress will that login to buddypress too? are they same thing?
Is there an ETA on 1.7?
I’m waiting for its release to do a major upgrade on both WordPress and BuddyPress all at once …
click blog above and download 1.7 beta, it will work with WordPress thene without modifications
we are using the default BP theme on my college’s site….
then we designed our own WP theme(still beta) working like charm
now we want to a extend it to BP and BBpress-forum
But i can’t find enough documents to accomplish….
Plz direct us to documents which may provide detailed information about creating Bp-theme
(Note: we don’t want to make a child theme, we want to support add BP and BB in our main theme only)
we are not coding experts in PHP we just learnt about PHP from wordpress and from “PHP for absolute beginners”. but we have experts in HTML ,CSS and JS
@hnla @musadiqmarhaban I just checked and found out that Custom Community submitted new version of the theme for review. It’s already approved but may take a week before it’s pushed live to extend. You can download the zip file linked on this page https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11253

@bphelp: Thank you, I’ll give it a try.
@Hugo: Yes, I believe I share your opinion too. Basically the theme is good in design, easy to modify, simple in control, and which is why at first I chose this theme for my client since they have basic knowledge in handling wordpress backend admin. I also found the author is so far responsive in updating issues that came up.
I still see it as a short period issue which soon be tackled by the author, and the theme is still very much recommendable.
Thanks again
This is just a suggestion, but why don’t you try out the Responsive theme. and make a child theme of it and edit it to your hearts content. It will look nice!

@Mercime: This is the theme which I previously used. You can view it here. I hope the author will make an update on these issues.
But why it is said the theme I use is compatible to run buddypress in wordpress.org themes option?
@musadiqmarhaban @hnla What’s the name of the theme? Those are serious issues.

the fix is for BuddyPress theme, not for WordPress themes 😉
Profile field links search members. It will not create a filtered activity stream. This can be accomplished with custom coding.
This plugin may give you an idea how to do it https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-hashtags/
well i wasn’t referring to walls was referring to wordpress tags they operate like filters an example is here it shows member of my clients site gotgame.com that own the Atari 2600:
http://gotgame.com/members/?s=Atari+2600
hope that helps.

You’re not alone. The current version and the way to combine buddypress with forum is difficult as I found out with several people new to wordpress+buddypress.
In my testing, the next version of buddypress and bbpress is much easier.
yes all items entered into the various profile fields should be clickable and function similarly to the way tags do in regular wordpress.
