I know how to install buddypress, Ijust need help on finding out what happen to my forums and all the topics that was there. All of a sudden I get that error that I mention. I did reinstalled both buddypress and wordpress, but that did not fix the problem.
It was 1.6.4 and updated within WordPress, not FTP.
@akgt plugins are tagged “buddypress” and/or “bbpress” in WP plugins repo. Just watch out for the compatibility of the plugins with WP/BP/bbP versions

Hi Miguel,
The problem is google is still looking for the old urls.
When moving a site from one platform to another, the best practice is to use 301 redirect for the old urls(if possible).
Since you have changed the platform to WordPress, I will suggest submitting the google sitemap(there exists some plugin for creating sitemap), that should atleast help in indexing the pages.
I don’t have much experience with SEO, so I hope someone with better understanding of seo guides you here 🙂
Dear BuddyPress,
Thanks for the GREAT plugin. I installed it from Trunk on 2/12/2103.
I’ve been playing with it and have decided i need to downgrade because i am beginning to get some traffic on my site. So i have 4 questions:
1. To what version should i downgrade? 1.7Beta, 1.6.4?
2. I am pretty new to WordPress although I have been a software developer for a long time. How do i do a downgrade of this plugin?
3. Do I have to delete dependent plugins like buddypress-docs?
4. Are there database implications?
Hi Brajesh,
the site site is in http://obidosaeroclube.com.
I’ve received in my GWT a bunch of 404 errors with that link structure.
This airfield site was previously made in another platform diferent from WordPress and with another domain. Once that the new site got ready I’ve asked the previous site webmaster to make a redirection from the old domain to the new and delete the old site. So he did it.
After reading you, I guess the redirection made by the old site webmaster is causing this.
I don’t find another fix for this than block at robots.txt – Disallow: /terms.asp?
What do you think ?
Thanks in advance
The url does not seem to be a valid url from WordPress.
WordPress does not uses mDate in query string.
btw, have you changed your permalink to look like .asp files?
for some reason my forums directory not showing up
i get this error(Sorry, there were no forum topics found.) i have lots of groups on my site and all of them are open not private, Also when i try to create a new topic I get There was an error when creating the topic, I did a fresh clean of buddypress and wordpress. It does it for all my sites.
Version:WordPress 3.5.1. – BuddyPress 1.6.4

Hi, I have promoted a member as admin of the group.The promoted admin can delete the activity, but not able to delete the activity reply inside the group.
I have disabled every plugin and re-installed the buddypress 1.6.4 and using wordpress 3.5.1, using default buddypress theme.
How can i solve this issue, is that a core buddypress bug!! Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Thank you.
I hear what your saying but as I indicated above Yoast wants support to go through the WordPress site and nobody there has responded. https://yoast.com/contact/
Also the more and more I am looking at how Joomla has advanced over the past two years and especially http://www.jomsocial.com/ there does not even seem to even a tad of comparison in features or technology. Even the responsive themes are dynamite in contrast. I must admit Joomla two years ago was week in the theme, seo and plugin and core updates updating from within admin. Clearly these guys have been hard at work. Not the case anymore.
Joomla plugins where always much higher end in terms of features and functionality. One of the reasons I can over to WordPress was I liked the ease of SEO, themes were better at the time, and also I liked having the ability upgrade things from within the admin as apposed to FTP. Not the case now.
I am still evaluating but from what I am seeing on the early look its probably going to be complete change over to Joomla with Jomsocial.
HELP!
Could this all be an issue with the way I installed my network?………….
I have noticed further issues with buddypress & bbpress, sign up not performing or functioning, no bbpress mails being sent and the complete inability to edit etc ‘any sitewide forums. There may be more issues I have just not checked.
I installed network under sub-directories ‘then’ added domain mapping!
Should I have in fact installed the network sites via sub domains and then added domain mapping?
ie. BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory ?
Could this be my issue?
@manojhl123 could you be more specific about what topic info? Group Forums or Sitewide Forums? bbPress has topics widget you can add to sidebar. WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress versions?
Yes you need to make your wordpress a multisite install buddypress has additional features which are multisite dependent.

I am using DeTube (http://themeforest.net/item/detube-professional-video-wordpress-theme/2664497) which supports BuddyPress.
However, when I activate the BuddyPress theme it breaks two features – a video scroll box and gridview.
If I deactivate the BuddyPress plugin both features work again.
I am looking for some assistance in troubleshooting and fixing this problem. Is there anyone else who is using this theme perhaps with BuddyPress?
If anyone wants to see an example I can send you to my website. BuddyPress is currently disabled – you can see the two features work. Then, once I enable BuddyPress you will see both features no longer work.
Hugo,
There are many areas but the title and descriptions are not unique for each member or group. It does not take much understanding to see if one builds even a small community of say 5K members if every profile title says Members and every group says Groups that SEO is very bad and Google will spit this out in a heart beat and not value the site very well in rankings. Good SEO practice has got to be unique titles and descriptions old or new days.
I built sites that have over 20K unique visitors per day and been around online full time since 2001. I am new to Buddpress and only been working with WordPress a little under a year. I know this for sure SEO to be as important today as years ago. Also if Buddy is going to be fully integrated with WP it in simple terms it needs to work just as WP does or then its not fulling integrated. Instead it is partially integrated. Like it or not 80% of all internet traffic today begins with a search and if SEO is not a big part of ones marketing plan success is probably not going to be found easily.
Now don’t get me wrong I do admire and appreciate all the hard work done here on this project. I am very detailed and experienced traffic and IM guy that just simply trying to bring these things to front to make better product. I am however no programmer.

In the middle of the night someone registered a new account and created a new site — all in the same minute. They sure are fast! I don’t know what’s typical about web robots and such, so I thought I would mention this to see what others think.
The username is a woman’s name, but the site is “Absolutely Free Shipping And Delivery [on a product of sorts].
Is this spam? I don’t have a problem with new accounts whatsoever, but I don’t know what’s real or not.

So nobody here knows how to get SEO to work properly with Buddypress? This is kind of crazy as as popular as buddpress is nobody knows how to make SEO work with Yoast. SEO is an important part of any internet venture. Without it its pointless today online unless your going to pay for all your advertisement or do affiliate marketing.
I am completely disappointed so far as I spent so much time researching this information and nobody either has the correct and complete information or cares to respond with it. I thought Buddpress was a very well supported compatible community for wordpress.
I may have to find another product all together for this project possibly even outside wordpress as it just does not make sense to build something without SEO in mind.
Zorro…
@mercime
Hard ticket to find:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4639
While hunting remembered that Paul’s guide had been linked to on that ticket originally, perhaps we can give it a little more prominence?
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/template-hierarchy/
If that is the page existed??!! seems the page has been removed entirely @DJPaul ?
That’s correct, a blog post. My WordPress was set to default to a role called “Member”. I’m not sure how or why. I changed it back to “Subscriber” all seems well now. The blog post option no longer appears in the top bar. 🙂
Thank you two for your help.
@nicholas-ritson Windows server? Did you add index.php to the permalink structure for pretty permalinks? It won’t work with BuddyPress. Use the first example posted in https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite or contact webhost for assistance
