I’ve been playing with WordPress, building a site this summer and BuddyPress seemed perfect for what I wanted to do. I enabled the network on my WP site and downloaded the new BP 1.6 which I was told would be able to run on a subsite. I can’t get it to work. BP is an active plugin on the subsite, using the BP theme but there is no admin control. If I network activate BP, the admin controls appear on the network dashboard but only give my options to create pages on the main site. I read on the WP forum to assign BP to a second site in the network as “home” but I don’t how to do this and searching through the BP forum has not produced any results as of yet.
Hi geekandcook, what settings page are you trying to access but unable to? Is this the administration one under your WordPress dashboard?
You can turn comments on and off under the page settings in WordPress. Go to screen options at the top right.

@ashenkargmailcom This plugin can do it but I am not certain if its been updated for the current release of WordPress and BuddyPress. Its a premium plugin so it will set you back a few bucks. Its also a little tedious to configure so be prepared. Here is the link: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/ultimate-facebook/
Hello
I have installed BP 1.6 but I don’t have navbar only wordpress default navbar
How I can enable BP navbar ?
Because on bp 1.5 all ok on bp 1.6 not, I installed it 3 times and still nothing
Please help
testbp.org uses both the BuddyPress and the bbPress plugins.
bbPress has its own built-in forum subscription feature; BuddyPress does not have a group forum subscription feature built-in.
However, there is a BuddyPress plugin that enables members to subscribe to a group – BP Group Email Subscription:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/
After much searching by @karmatosed and I, we’ve found it’s the https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wangguard/ plugin. You’ll need to contact the author for support.
BP Xtra Signup, Achievements, All in One SEO Pack, BackUpWordPress, BP User Profile Map, BuddyPress Album, BuddyPress Community Stats, and loads more, so I can’t really list all of them here. Do you think that some or one of the plugins could create this strange field in the registration form by itself?
JetPack will now not connect to the WordPress site when version 1.6 is running. You have to disable Buddypress and JetPack will work fine. Gives the “xml rpc-32700” error message.
@dacai – It sounds like these shortcodes rely on javascript to work.
There maybe a conflict between your plugin’s javascript, BuddyPress’ javascript and/or your theme’s javascript (assuming you are not using a variant of the bp-default theme).
I would try to find out the culprit by debugging the javascript with your browser’s developer tool.
If you’re using Firefox, try installing Firebug.
Here’s a video tutorial on how to use Firebug:
http://www.dev4press.com/2010/tutorials/wordpress/various/use-firebug-to-track-ajax-requests-and-responses/
Once you have it installed, turn on the Firebug console and reload your page. If there are errors, the Firebug console will tell you which javascript files are failing.
@k12onos – The .zip download for BP 1.5.7 can be found here:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.5.7.zip
Do not install this on top of BP 1.6. Please try duplicating your problem on a fresh install.
On my local testing on both BP 1.5.7 and BP 1.6, I was able to duplicate your problem. But I believe, the intention was that you shouldn’t nest a component page within a component page and you should follow the method I suggested by creating a “dummy page” as you say.
Let me know.
@rodtrent – I am unable to duplicate your problem. If you have a backup, I suggest reverting back to that and retry your upgrade by following these instructions:
Upgrading to 1.6
What version of WordPress are you using? multisite or regular?
I should add, not all the menu options which could appear do. For example, when logged on as admin I can see the plugin menu notifying me of one plugin to update, but this does not appear to the subscribers who are being shown the menu options.
Since upgrading to Buddypress 1.6 some of my site’s users who are at subscriber level are seeing parts of the WordPress Toolbar which they should not be able to.
This only affects some subscribers. I have not been able to replicate the problem myself but I have seen screengrabs.
This only happens when they are browsing in the Forums. It does not happen when they go into the Group menu. Logging out and logging in does not appear to make a difference, nor does me clearing the cache (I use W3 Total Cache).
They are able to see if there are comments awaiting moderation, however they are not able to follow the link to them as they do not have sufficiently high permissions. They can also see the ‘+ New’ menu. And they can see another menu placed there by a plugin which should not be visible to them.
As I am not able to replicate this at the moment I’m at a loss to understand what’s wrong and wonder if it might be a bug?
In addition to the groups/member/forums churn presented by version 1.6, Windows Live Writer can no longer connect to post to the WordPress site.
Error:
An unexpected error has occurred while attempting to log in:
Invalid Server Response – The response to the blogger.getUsersBlogs method received from teh blog server was invalid:

I’m starting to dig into buddypress and still relatively new to wordpress/buddypress and php but have some web dev experience.
I wanted to get feedback to see if anyone had ever seen an implementation like this mockup – http://support.prontomarketing.com/attachments/token/5qfggcslou4yrpq/?name=Screen+Shot+2555-08-07+at+9.28.33+PM.png
In short, I want to move the WordPress Admin Bar functions into the site navigation bar for the user Avatar, notifications, and dropdown links. Might take it one step further to make messages it’s own icon with dropdown as well.
Is this possible or does it really go against the nature of the WordPress Admin Bar?
I use wordpress multisite with BP. After BP 1.6 upgrade, I lost all the widget on my subdomains.
The problem is I cant even store new ones.
I create a new widget, save it and if I refresh the page, the widget is gone!!
Updating to 1.6 causes my wordpress plugin shortcodes (stextbox, wpui, mingle theme) to stop working. Tabbed content doesn’t show, accordions stop collapsing etc. When I disbale Buddypress it all works fine.
Hi lifemore, can you confirm you followed the steps in this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/transitioning-from-1-5-x-to-1-6/. Also what version of WordPress / BuddyPress did you upgrade from? I assume you’ve checked that both your theme and / or plugins using with BuddyPress are also upgraded to versions for BuddyPress 1.6?
Have you tried re-saving your settings for BuddyPress and permlinks under Settings >BuddyPress and Settings > Permlinks?
If all that is correct, could you please if possible provide a link or find out what path is being called for the images. Be helpful to see what the image is being listed as even if it’s a wrong file.
I also get the same problem, I can still access the main site but not the wordpress admin and I get a similar PHP error as well
My site wide notifications for BuddyPress are not showing up to any user.
I have tried to disable plugins and what not and still does not work.
I have also tried deleting and re-installing Buddypress (version 1.6) as well.
I ran out of options here… Is there any solution? I couldn’t find anything on Google (only email notifications results, which is not a problem) and the BuddyPress.org search bar does not seem to be working…
My site details:
URL: http://social.kwiker.me
Wordpress version: 3.4
Buddypress version: 1.6
Hosting provider: GoDaddy.com
Update: The private messages and mentions notifications work, however comments and replies do not. Is there any way to fix this?
