BuddyPress.org

Don’t they have support forums or contact form there where you could ask theme devs or community members who are using the theme whether any have made it work with BuddyPress or if the theme required some tweaks to make it work? I remember the time when users of Hybrid theme framework made it work with BuddyPress via communication in BP and Hybrid theme forums.

same with me here. I do clean install of WordPress 3.0. Activated Buddypress in the plugins. Updated permalinks to use with simple urls. Apply some tricks that can be seen at http://ikailo.com/94/url-modrewrite-workaround-iis-60/ to url since I’m in windows server. Don’t have mod_rewrite. Tried signup, but it just redirects to the same page. site is boholtech.com

Did you just make the necessary manual adjustments in addition to the automatic upgrade stuff. Read these 2 guides, but especially the 1st. Did you do all of those things (including editing the .htaccess file)?

Thank you, thank you, thank you (do not know how to thank in irish)
Will start following U on twitter.

@el_terko sorry only spotted this reply now.
Yes, I’ll be updating the Malleable theme in the next few days, will post when done.

No problems here. PollDaddy works fine with BuddyPress just as it does with regular WordPress blogs based on my own experience.

Install it through the plugin manager, activate and add short-code to widget/post.

What Modemlooper said. It works just as it would with a regular WordPress blog without interacting with BuddyPress in terms of the poll results and functionality.

I’m currently looking for something to handle polls myself. For PollDaddy I simply installed it as a regular plugin, pasted the short-code into a sidebar widget and it works as expected. What it does isn’t changed by BuddPress in any way from what I can tell.

As for Intense Debate, it wouldn’t let me register with my WordPress account so not sure

Have you definitely gone to the ‘Forums Setup’ link and activated/installed bbpress integration, not so much the component setup link/page.

I moved files in site to root…..

If you’re using /installed WP 3.0 that now combines single site and mutli site (blogs) in the one package however you do have to perform some manual file adjustments to enable multisite functionality in the backend from where you then follow the instructions to complete installation.

You can follow this guide to setting up multi sites:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

As for BP forums have you enabled them in the backend? if you look in the dashboard at the BP section menu links you will see a link to ‘Forums Setup’.

Profiles is perhaps more a question of personal taste? I personally wouldn’t say that the profile of the default theme is particularly unintuitive, but that isn’t to say there isn’t room for improvement; obviously one can re-configure it somewhat if one uses a child theme and copies the files over to work on; also thre are a few newish plugins to add things like ‘User Stats’ and or ‘Follwers/Follwing’

There appears to be a missing edit_post_link() call in the post template (/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/single.php).

Thanks for the heads up! Creating a bug report for this.

I really just want a forum with categories. It seems that in the native BP settings you have to create a Group first, which then gets its own forum? Is this correct?

Yes, you have to create a group first. Think of Facebook’s fan page / group discussions page. That’s what it is modeled after (I believe!).

If you want a forum with categories, I would suggest installing a WordPress forum plugin like Simple:Press or Mingle Forum.

If you’re comfortable working with another forum script, you can try installing the standalone version of bbPress and integrating WordPress and bbPress together. I list this as another option.

—

Or, how do I get something similar to what BuddyPress.org has? I notice that at the bottom of the forum topic listing, it says: “You will auto join this group when you start a new topic.” How did u get that functionality?

The auto-joining is default with BuddyPress. When you’re logged in and you are on a forum post that you are not a group member of, that message will be displayed. Visit the test install of BP – http://testbp.org – for an example.

There is a learning curve. I recommend you start reading up and getting involved in BuddyPress and WordPress forums. Remember Google/search is your friend.

@ronio, I wish But no, it’s not possible yet. There are developer/s who might be rolling out plugin/s for BP in different multisites but probably not until after BP 1.3 stable is out.

ok, i have wordpress 3.0 and buddypress 1.2.5
i can activate the plugin, but firts the “event” tab, does’t appear, i fixed this with the code of the page 2.

later, the options in the profile don’t show.
so i read i found this.

in the line 278 of bp-events.php said:
add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘events_setup_nav’ );
add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘events_setup_nav’ );

ADD THIS in the last line:
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘events_setup_nav’ );

BUT when i go to “my events” or “invite” or “create an event” the page goes to the home.

any ideas?

Shouldn’t this be possible if Buddypress is not network activated but just plain activated ?

@alanchrishughes

Haha! Thanks for keeping the discussion in this thread.

Integrating bbPress with WordPress is not easy. In fact, it can be a real pain. I have not tried integrating bbP and WP since BuddyPress offered a different solution — group forums.

That being said, have you seen this article? More than likely it is out of date with WordPress 3.0, but I suggest posting a comment in that article and see if @theeasybutton can offer you any additional insights.

@jeffsayre I appreciate everyone’s help.

The same problem here. Any solution?

Hi! You should create pages in dashboard and name theme : Activity, Groups, Forums, Members, Register,.
Be sure You have PERMALIKS ON , theme folder include BuddypressTemplate Pack files and on editing page below title is right url (example: [ Permalink: http://natfriends.com/site/members/%5D )
Now i trying this at localhost. Is working (WordPress 3.1alpha BuddyPress 1.3-bleeding )
