Just for clarity- you do know understand that in the event that bp hasn’t created pages or you get that message that associations are broken it’s a manual process to create those pages before navigating back to BP pages to now find them available in the selection dropdown.
With Saluation – if memory serves – you may need to go into each of those pages created for BP use and ensure that you have selected ‘buddypress’ in the layout options sidebar custom field.
Thank you. I am checking with the Salutation author and then I will follow your instructions.
There are no plugins that does what you need at this time. You can post the job offer at

@starprintbrokers Salutation is supposed to be a BuddyPress-ready theme, therefore you do not need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin nor go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. If you did, deactivate Salutation and delete the theme, then re-upload a clean copy of the Salutation theme but do not activate it yet.
Change to bp-default theme, then go to BuddyPress > Pages. For each component that does not have a Page yet, e.g. Activity Streams does not have “Activity” page across, click on “New Page” button and the Page will be created. Do the same for the remaining components in the section. You associate each page to each component and click “Save All” button at the bottom of the section.
Check that each BP component page is working. Then and only then do you change to Salutation theme. Btw, do confirm with theme author if Salutation has been upgraded to work with current BuddyPress version.
Actually, I already had BuddyPress Template pack installed. I just activated it again, and tired again. I clicked repair on that message, and still, there are no pages by those names in teh pull down menus.
go to your /wp-admin -> plugins -> add new.
search Buddypress Template Pack.
Install it, and run it.
Follow the simple steps…
All should work well.
I am muddling my way through quite UNsuccessfully. I activated BuddyPress in Salutation BuddyPress ready template. (I also wrote to them first.) I get this message …”The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, Discussion Forums, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register.”
Clicking on “Repair” following that message, does not work. Going to “Pages” under “BuddyPress” and assigning the pages from the pull down menus does not work, because these pages don’t exist! I’ve tried removing and reinstalling a couple of times. What do I do now?
I’ve been searching around and trying to see if there is a way to use WordPress register forum instead of Buddypress register forum. Any idea how to get around this?
Hi everyone,
I’m building a gaming site and I’m looking for a gaming ladder and tournament plugin/theme or something similar. I want people to challenge other groups (Which are going to be the clans), Top Groups, show who’s battling who. Something similar like 360battles.com, or a script similar to eliteladders.com
I want it to be compatible with wordpress or buddypress, If there’s none can you make what i’m looking for? I’m willing to pay of course lolz.
I appreciate your help in advance, Thanks!
== Buddypress seems to have written over my wordpress database ==
@roclimb BuddyPress creates tables in database and does not overwrite WP DB tables..
Just deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins from wp-admin. If you cannot access your wp-admin, rename buddypress plugin folder via FTP/sFTP or control panel in server. See also https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/
We noticed on our site, http://www.NABCommunities.com that our members number is different from what WordPress tells us is our actual number of subscribers. Does anyone know why this is the case?
@jakeyboy1989 from your WP forums post as well – If you just want to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress, you don’t need to create a multisite installation.
Install and activate the BP Template Pack Plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. Then post back here if you require further assistance.
Buddypress seems to have written over my wordpress database when I tried to install it. Normally I assume this is supposed to be normal but my theme was not compatible so it did not install. Now I want my original wordpress database back. Is there a way I can do this?
Thanks much
Rob
@strek-break you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.
Thanks for the tips @Paul Gibbs
The reason I want the two sites to be connected is so that my authors can network and get points, rankings, etc, for the posts they make (this was a feature requested by my users).
The key thing for me is that my users want the social features that I can provide through buddypress, but it is difficult to integrate with more extensive framework based wordpress templates (at least it seems that way for me) so I would love to be able to have buddypress on the same site, or a connected site, that has its own template and is hidden from users.
Also when I say authors it might sound misleading because this could be potentially 500-1000 different users so they need group and discussion forum features..
hello,
i want my users to be able to select if they want to receive notifications by email or not whenever someone reply to their forum post just like it is in wordpress forums.
also i will to search capability to the forum page as it is in wordpress so that users and visitors will be able get information easily from the forum page.
thank you so much
the template was perfect! Thank you for helping me!
I am new to BuddyPress and this is my first install. It is set-up on a multi-site and it is all functioning with the exception of 2 things:
When I click on the “Activities” page, it just redirects to the member listings.
When I try and click to view a profile page I get the same issue.
I am running the very latest WordPress and the latest BuddyPress as I just installed these last week. It is all in the root directory. I am hosting with Dreamhost. BuddyPress is installed on a subdomain and I am using the BP default theme. My server is Linux; Apache.
My bp-custom.php includes:
<?php
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );
?>
Hi, in my Buddypress 1.5 install, the activity stream shows truncated updates (excerpts). There is a “[…]” after the truncation, but no active link.
This was listed as a feature here: http://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-5/
and this ticket documents the development of it: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2635
But it doesn’t show up.
Does this need to be enabled somewhere? Is it a bug?
(My site: http://storyaday.org)
Thanks!
You can add this to wp-config.php:
`define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘conversations’ );`
That will change the slug. To change the actual text that is rendered on the page, check out the “Custom Groups Name” plugin at http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/
…and if you are feeling adventurous, go ahead and start editing your translation files!
About .pot, .po, and .mo Translation Files in BuddyPress
Your wp_list_comments() call specifies the callback as a function called “mytheme_comment”, which is probably in your theme’s functions.php file. You’ll need to use these functions in there, or modify what you have already.
For an example, look at the code block just below the phrase “You will need to define your custom callback function in your theme’s” on https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments (get_avatar is used six lines from the top)
There are some ways to get content copied from one site onto another, but I think they are all pretty clunky. Your content should be written and published on your user-facing site, and that’s where you’d be best to track things like blog posts.
I’d have a careful think about if tracking your authors’ activity gives much value to the other users; after all, anyone can read the posts that are published in the actual website. You can create a second site
(or multisite site), and have that site as the discussion area for your authors. Specifically, consider using the ‘P2 Theme’ on it, which you can find for download on WordPress.org.
