BuddyPress.org

If you want to disable BP’s registration and user account activation pages: In your functions.php or in a custom plugin:

`remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 );`

Sorry for the delay. It will be in your theme’s folder. If you are using the BP default theme then it will be in: your_wordpress_folder/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default

If you are using this then it will probably be worth creating a child theme so that you don’t loose any changes with plugin upgrades. If that is what you want to do then I can give you some help there too.

Found solution on my buddypress site – This drove me crazy .. My clients wanted ‘Profile’ to show first when their link was clicked on. OK, makes sense for this site.
1. Did not work: This method broke my buddydress theme in IE (but not Mozilla) – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’); ‘ to bp-custom.php and uploading it to /wp-content/plugins. .. useless for me.
2. Worked – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’);’ to my wp-config.php file (up top, above – ‘// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //’) – UREEKA BABY!!
I’m using buddypress 1.2.7 , buddydress themes and wordpress 3.0.4 – Hope this helps someone..

@theartillerist do you mean you’re still using WPMU 2.9.2 or do you mean you installed WP 3.0.4 and created a network – multisite? In any case, you do not create a physical subdirectory with a .com at the end because all subdirectories and subdomains created with WP multisite are all virtual. You should read or re-read Create a Network.

After installing WP at domain root, create a network then use the domain mapping plugin so that a new domain name e.g. theartillerist.com, would be pointed to domain root so it can be retrieved in subsite.

Before installing BuddyPress, do resolve all installation and configuration issues including domain mapping at WP.org multisite forums – https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Your web host and/or hosting package aren’t providing your site enough memory to load BP up. By chance are you running a non-English installation?

It’s nothing to do with BuddyPress or WordPress. It’s probably more likely due to throttling of emails sent on your godaddy account. I’d start by getting in contact with godaddy support and asking them what the situation is.

@Xevo & @johnjamesjacoby What is this bbpress wp plugin and where can I find out more about it.

I am running wordpress with buddypress and bbpress, and trying to figure out how to get the buddypress bar to work on the bbpress.

The buddypress bar plugins returns me the following error:

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_core_admin_bar_css’ was given in /home/gradidun/public_html/new/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_core_add_js’ was given in /home/gradidun/public_html/new/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395

Is there a fix for this issue? That would be incredible if yes.

Thank you for your time and effort on this plugin since quite a while back now!

That’s not much help. It’s for version 1 of Vanilly. There’s version 2 out already, which ships with built-in seamless wordpress integration. So, getting it to work as a standalone forum should be easy. Integrating stuff like activity entries or group forums will be harder, though.

Other than general overviews, you should be looking out for BuddyPress 1.2+ version tutorials

I would also like to see this done, maybe this will help someone? http://lussumo.com/docs/doku.php?id=vanilla:integration:wordpress

@sumale.nin to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. Then go to dashboard menu Appearance > BP Compatibility and go through the process.

I have the same problem so I need to reinstall my wordpress manually to make buddy press forum work?

You need to use a BuddyPress compatible theme. Just activating BuddyPress on a WordPress site is not enough.

RE: Achievements. If Vanilla forums is not WordPress software — which it isn’t — you’re probably going to need to set up an AJAX request in WordPress so that you can communicate external events into WordPress, which Achievements can then make use of.

I’m very new to Buddypress and to WordPress. I’m having a similar difficulty with profiles, groups, forums etc… links all redirecting back to the homepage. I had just loaded the great Suffusion theme, which i love, but will now try to go back to default to see if i can trace the problem. I would welcome any ideas.

This is as simple as a nav plugin, I would recommend the Multi Level Navigation Plugin.

You can also achieve putting those contents in your admin bar, such as Networks with a dropdown of Member and Groups along side the “My Account” as an example

Thats why your permalinks arn’t working correctly.

Read through this:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

@envira Go into your database, where you host all your files. Find the file: .htaccess.

It should be in the root of your wordpress.

Scroll down to the end of the file and add this:

`LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so`

“BP must built a group first, “

No, that is incorrect.

“and everyone has his own ‘timeline’ in twitter.”

look at your activity stream. Go to your profile page.
