I successfully deleted my BuddyPress tables in my database so that i could re-install 1.7Beta1. I uploaded it through cPanel and it extracted perfectly. I activated it without a single problem.

The couple of extra sites that I have built are still there, but BuddyPress no longer has them listed in “Member Sites.” There’s the button to create a site, but the existing sites don’t show. When I log in as a different user with a site, my site shows at the top of the theme, and I can access it. It just no longer shows in the BuddyPress site directory.

I cannot make posts, either. When I go to make a post in the activity stream, I receive an error and a “-1” is displayed. I went back to my database and I don’t see any BuddyPress tables. There are still some bb_ tables, which I didn’t delete, but no bp_.

I’ve started building a website using the Blackbird WordPress theme, which works really well for the sort of layout and editability I’m after. I want the site to be one where people can sign up and upload content to their own profiles – it’s going to be a niche networking site. So I’ve installed BuddyPress to do this.

But I’m kinda stuck. There doesn’t seem to be anything I can do with it! Under settings, I’ve got the BuddyPress page, which has a tab to toggle various features on and off, a second tab to associate a WordPress page with each BuddyPress component directory. And a third tab for four basic settings. That’s it.

For instance, there seems to be no template anywhere that I can edit for members to build a profile with. There’s nothing to build anything with as far as I can see. A rummage around in You Tube isn’t showing up anything about this.

Any thoughts?

WP version: 3.5.1 BP version: 1.6.4 BP template Pack: 1.2.1

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

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.

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!
