BuddyPress.org

I have a site that runs WordPress 3.4.1 with Buddypress 1.5.6
It has the Group forums turned on but they just mess me about and here is why:
1. The editor will format a forum page quite nicely yet the formatting disappears when the forum post is displayed
2. I put in standard double quotes and it decides to change them to something different. Took me ages to solve that one today when that messed up an html snippet that I had posted.
3. I post a snippet of html to demonstrate something which gets displayed as html. I go i to correct a typo and then it decides to decipher it as a link. I use the actual codes around the link then edit the post again cos I still had something wrong. It has decided to replace the codes yet again. Basically I am unable to edit a post for fear that it will change something
4. There is no easy way to add images to forum posts yet I can do it in the actual group. Now I may just be missing a plugin for this one but I cannot tell users to type in the html to include something. They dont know html so I increase my support load

I need forums to work for some things but the way they are is causing me immense frustration. I may be missing something obvious. If so What?

Note that I wont change core files because I have enough of an IT background to know that causes many problems with upgrades. Child theme might be the solution although I would prefer to wait for BP 1.6 to do that

I have tried all of the suggestions in many other threads regarding this issue, but nothing works for me so I am starting a new thread.

Problem: I have group forums installed, however I am unable to post a topic in any group (I get the red error message stated in the title above). I have “Enable discussion forum” checked under the admin settings for the group, and I have also tried toggling this setting and saving. I have bbPress installed, but have tried disabling the plugin and deleting bb-config.php prior to re-installing group forums. I have checked the settings in bb-config.php to make sure that they match wp-config.php. I have also tried deleting the group and creating a new one.

FYI:
1. WordPress version 3.4.1
2. WordPress is not installed on a subdomain.
3. Install is in the root directory.
4. Upgraded from previous version of WordPress.
5. WordPress was functioning properly prior to installing Buddypress.
6. Buddypress version 1.5.7
7. I did not upgrade from a previous version of Buddypress.
8. I have deactivated all other plugins besides Buddypress but still have the same issue.
9. I am using my own custom theme, along with BuddyPress Template Pack plugin.
10. I have not modified the core files.
11. I have no custom functions in bp-custom.php.
12. I have bbPress version 2.1.1
13. My server’s error log is empty.
14. I use Inmotion hosting.
15. Apache version 2.2.22, PHP version 5.3.10, MySQL version 5.1.61-log, linux operating system
16. My website is http://www.balletuni.com

I’ve installed Buddypress to a test server and have played around with it and really enjoy its capabilities. I’d like to use it for an upcoming project but would like somebody to point me in the right direction.

The project requires that we have http://www.domain.com that is a typical WordPress install and then a http://www.domain.com/community which would include the Buddypress site. The client does not want any of the community options on their root domain, they want it all contained in the community directory.

My question is, what is the best approach? The two ways that I have considered are creating two separate WordPress installs and then trying to make them share the same userbase. The more likely approach seems to be to convert the WordPress into a Multisite or Network with directories. I should then be able to install my main theme at the root and Buddypress in the subdirectory. I understand that I can change the main directory for Buddypress with a bp-custom.php file and have seen the commands that can be used within that file.

Which is the better solution? Is there a better way than the two I’ve listed?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I would like to create a custom menu using the links found on the Buddypress admin bar (so I can just hide the admin bar and place the menu somewhere else). Is there a way to do this? Is there a plugin/widget that can do this? I’ve been googling for hours but to no avail.

I’m kinda new to WordPress/Buddypress so please bear with me. Thank you.

Hi – Sorry if this question has been answered before – please point me in the right direction if it has…
(WordPress 3.4.1 / BuddyPress 1.5.7)

ISSUE: Users are successfully posting ‘updates’ to the BuddyPress Activity Stream – but, if you Search for words contained in the Update, the Search Results do NOT include these updates.

Could you let me know how I can fix this? Thanks!

Hi,

I search, How to Bring back the Activity information with a php fonction, to show it in a different way.
Like in the home page of the Circle me website, for exemple.

Because I know the post_query fonction for wordpress, but I don’t find how how to do it with Buddy press.

Thanks

Dear forum members,

I am having problems with registering users. New users cannot register via the site. Also links send with the plugin “Invite Anyone” do not direct to a register page. They get redirected to the default login page. Also the register link in the default wp login page does not work.
In the wp settings I allow anyone to register to the site.
In the Buddypress Pages Registration settings I have register pointing to a Register WP page and Activate pointing to a Activate WP page.

Did I miss anything? Any help would be appreciated very much.

My site is http://www.duikteamdidam.nl

Wordpress version is 3.4.1
Buddypress version is 1.5.7
