Hi. I am using a custom theme…. I am using a template pack for my (Elegantthemes) WordPress theme.

@ r-a-y yes, it is installed in it’s own directory “wordpress” http://mdacintranet/wordpress, the problem is when I install bp the additional sub-directories that (I’m assuming) are suppose to be written under the wordpress directory are not appearing. Thus causing the page not found error, it’s not possible to display a page when the directory the page is suppose to be in is not even there. Maybe I’m suppose to manually create each of the first? I have literally re-installed from scratch about 7+ times. The wp site installs and runs flawlessly until I try to install bp. Once BuddyPress is installed the only thing that works properly is the dashboard and in order for me to then fix the site I have to do a complete re-install of wp. If I try to deactivate the bp plugin, it cripples the entire site. I have been trying this on multiple systems all running Linux (ubuntu 12.04 server) and all in virtual machines. Any help will be greatly appreciated as this seems like the perfect solution if only I can get it to actually work. Thanks.

I found the problem. When I change the theme to bp-default and the link in the Group Directory is working. But oh boy, it is not theme it was the function.php that I add @boonebgorges codes is not working:

What’s the easiest way to change the default landing page for BuddyPress groups?

It was working in BP 1.6 but not BP 1.6.1. I deleted it. It works.

function bbg_set_new_group_default_subnav() {
global $bp;

if ( bp_is_group() ) {
// Set up your new default
$new_screen_function = 'groups_screen_group_forum';
$new_default_slug = 'forum';

$parent_slug = bp_get_current_group_slug();

if ( $function = $bp->bp_nav[$parent_slug] ) {
if ( !is_object( $function[0] ) )
remove_action( 'bp_screens', $function, 3 );
else
remove_action( 'bp_screens', array( &$function[0], $function[1] ), 3 );
}

$bp->bp_nav[$parent_slug] = &$new_screen_function;

if ( bp_is_groups_component() && !bp_current_action() ) {
if ( !is_object( $new_screen_function[0] ) ) {
add_action( 'bp_screens', $new_screen_function );

} else {
add_action( 'bp_screens', array( &$new_screen_function[0], $new_screen_function[1] ) );
}

$bp->current_action = $new_default_slug;
}
}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bbg_set_new_group_default_subnav', 999 );

function bbg_set_new_group_default_action() {
global $bp;

if ( bp_is_group() && !bp_current_action() ) {
$bp->current_action = 'forum';
}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_globals', 'bbg_set_new_group_default_action', 999 );

@mercime, ok thanks! But “honor” is too much i opened a ticket witch probably would be considered as “not important” yet…. There are other more important tasks to do first

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4506

@FIQ: That’s quite an assumption to make, personally I thought through my wireframes. I’m not going to really comment on the exercise allegation as the developer chats are showing it’s not just that. You are free to check this by reading the irc logs: https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=buddypress-dev (Wednesday 19:00 UTC is the developer chat). You are welcome to your opinion but please come along to see the action rather than assuming. Also please recognise those of us that are trying to do something here not just dismiss our work. We work together to a solution here not against each other and you are more than welcome to be part of that solution.
