You’re welcome. Glad you have i working.

You’re welcome.
BP demo: http://testbp.org/
BP Codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/home/

Backticks are like apostrophe’s slanted backward looks like this “` and you need to put a backtick before and another backtick after the code – like the page.php – for that to show up in forum webpage.

=== The following is the Forum.php which I need to change ===

That’s not the file you need to change if you want BP compatibility.
If you have gone through the BP Template Pack process, the pages you need to change are in folders which have been moved by the process to your active theme’s folder as listed here: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates
So per list above, the file you need to change is the forums/index.php file

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

You do need a working knowledge of HTML/CSS at least to effect the necessary changes. If you cannot do it at this time, you might want to wait for BP 1.3 where BP components are rendered in your regular WP theme if BP is activated. Or in the meantime, you could create a child theme of the bp-default theme (here’s how to https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ ) and use that first.

Just adding it as you posted, it’s more a grimace though!

*sigh*

That is why mercime linked you to the codex page! Please read it for the answer to your question.

First port of cal on lists and boards are the archives and with apps the documentation pages if there are any.

a) Could be. There are other factors in play for good SEO
b) Not really. Have you tried http://wpml.org/ plugin?
c) It depends on your webhost – bandwith and memory allocated, etc.
However, this forum is for BuddyPress, proceed to WP Multisite forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite and use same username and password you used here to log in there to get further assistance.

`Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog:
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );`
from https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Note that there’s only ONE instance of BP throughout the whole WPMultisite installation

If the text is translatable in wordpress/buddypress you should be able to use the technique mentioned here

Hey Gary ( @ecksteing ),

You might have already observed BuddyPress is nothing but a plugin for WordPress.
Well, as of now there is no such ready made arrangement for the same but Andy has worked on an open source plugin that gives BuddyPress Features into WordPress theme.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
I have not tested this but I think this may be helpful to you.

Keep in touch!

Run Settings > Permalinks and set to other than default i.e. pretty permalinks is a must. Double-check WP configurations and if you have a problem there, resolve it in WordPress.org forums before installing BuddyPress.
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/
https://wordpress.org/support/

You do not move BuddyPress plugin folder/files around in your server at all. You can install BP in either of these two ways:
1. auto install via dashboard menu Plugins > Add New > BuddyPress then network activate. or
2. Upload buddypress plugin in wp-content/plugins/ folder in your server, then go to dashboard to activate BP

After either #1 or #2 above, Install a BP-compatible theme like https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/ and you’re good to go.

BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin and not a separate application. BP shares the DB of your WordPress site. And yes, BuddyPress can be installed in single WordPress.

If you upgraded to WP 3.0.5 via dashboard auto upgrade, do a manual update via FTP or cPanel

Also re widgets, WP Dev Andrew Nacin posted about that here http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/if-your-menus-or-widgets-screens-broke/

@faceteletv

I’m trying to keep this conversation within topic here where you originally mentioned it, rather than wild in the activity stream.

I’ve managed to get forums working on a 1and1 shared hosting…

I don’t think any of the wp-config.php or .htaccess or php.ini tricks for increasing memory work for 1and1 shared hosting. Even if wordpress tells you it has more, it will still behave as if it hasn’t…

As ray said, you should disable as many plugins as possible at least till the forums are enabled. I already mentioned what I had done about plugins here

To find out how much memory a plugin or theme is using I use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-system-health/.

You appear to be using buddypress social theme – which I haven’t tried but it has lots of options and may use lots of memory. With limited memory it would be better to use a simple child theme of buddypress default and customise it.

The above (remove admin bar on all but BP site) did not work for me…see https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-disable-buddypress-header-menus-from-main-site-in-wordpress-network-mode/#post-88928.

It appears that $current_site->blog_id is always equal to 1 on my site, no matter which site I’m on. Ideas?

Hi,
I updated the bp-config.php file so that BBDB_NAME etc has the same details as in wp-config.php file and it seems to solve the issue.

My bp-config file resides at /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bp-config.php and not at the root of WordPress installation but it still seems to be working fine after I updated the bp-config.php file.

Note that, I had to uncheck and check back the “Enable Forum” option under the Group Admin settings to make the error message goes away from the existing groups. However, if I created a new group, I don’t have to do this and it will allow me to post in that Group Forum.

I basically set up the WordPress Network now but I unchecked the option in super admin this said register and a blog and checked the mark that was for register only. I run and advocacy website for people with disabilities. I would like each person who wants to advocate for a disability issue to be able to create one. And of course others to be able to see. It would include a banner if they have one. To below do have links and to be able to add them without knowing the code. Just paste a link in. And then be able to do everything groups can. Maybe have the check box for each user to create a new regular group or new advocacy group. Or maybe I could this have just the group’s transformed into disability groups or something without having the choice.
Kind of like a group face page or frontpage. Instead of the group comments being on front this face page could be one large page.
Can anyone help me.

@r-a-y – If this is a 1and1 shared hosting memory issue then that will not help. WordPresss may report a higher memory but 1and1 servers will still be stuck at 30mb….. I would love to get round this problem myself, other than by limiting what plugins and themes etc I can run….
