I’ve got bbpress as the forum for my wordpress installation on localhost.
I’ve created a new page and inserted the bbcode to show the forum index in that page (page name is “forums”).
In my navigation I have “Forums” and when i click it and it is the active page, it does not receive a “current_page_item” class from the navigation.
How can I make it have the “current_page_item” class when it is selected?
While I am using Buddypress, I do not have a page associated in buddypress with my bbpress forums because it causes the forums to not function when i do associate a page.
No Luck, buddypress said that it was a wordpress to server issue. but my server company is saying that the gd library is installed and working fine. So i dunno
== I did install through the one click installation. ==
WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated. – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

I’ve set up a page and applied it to my forums section.
It seems the only way I can apply a custom page template to this page is by first applying the template, and then disabling the bbPress plugin before re-enabling it.
However, if I then go to the page in WordPress and click the blue ‘update’ button, the template then switches to the default page.php template on the frontend (even though it is still applied in the backend).
So basically, each time I update the content on my forums page, I then need to go back and disable / activate the bbPress plugin.
Anyone else had this problem?
Boone Gorges oon wordpress.stackoverflow.com figured it out. is_page() will return true on BP content, because BP (since 1.5) uses WP pages as its basis for display. So we changed it to this and now I have a sidebar only for profile pages.
`<?php
if (is_single()){
include(STYLESHEETPATH.’/sidebar-single.php’);}
elseif (is_page() && !bp_is_profile_component()){
include(STYLESHEETPATH.’/sidebar-index.php’);}
elseif (is_category(‘fame-game’)){
include(STYLESHEETPATH.’/sidebar-fame-game.php’);}
elseif (bp_is_profile_component()) {
include(STYLESHEETPATH.’/sidebar-act.php’);}
else {
include(STYLESHEETPATH.’/sidebar-index.php’);}
?>`
Hi all. I have an issue where the two emails that are supposed to go out when a new user registers on the site, the activation email to the user and the ‘new user registration’ email to the admin, does not get sent / delivered. I’ve tried deactivating all my plugins and deactivated my premium buddypress theme but it still didn’t work. Only after disabling buddypress and using the standard WordPress install, does a user receive their activation email. I have searched high and low, but I just cannot get to the bottom of this, but as soon as I activate buddypress, it stops working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Justin.
Ok, I’m a little confused here – my first buddypress and multisite set up
I need the social networking aspect of buddypress
I want an extensive forum within the multisite accessed by all users across the network
what i want is
Main site 1 – with main content, and buddypress social network aspect
blog site 2
blog site 3
blog site 4
blog site 5 ………….. 10 etc
on all sites I’d like a menu tab in the navigation menu that goes to a forum, which people log into as part of their network wide subscription, so all users from all sites can interact on the forums
I have tried tinkering with the forums which come as part of the buddypress install – but they don’t seem to play too well within the theme of my whole site, look very basic, and confuse me with the buddypress.
so, what set up is best? – make the buddypress forums work somehow – am i missing something? can I get them to run in a seperate skin/theme
load a seperate bbpress install in a sub-site
use something like mingle plugin in a sub site
I’m sure this isn’t the best answer, but an option – use a bridge to a phpbb install ….
I’ve been using/moderating phpbb forums for a while, but I’d really have an integrated package within buddypress or wordpress
any help appreciated, I’ve tried searching all over the net, and not managed to find a clarity
cheers

Hi, I am using a Linux server ( Not local server ) , and installed wordpress and buddypress manually using an ftp client. My server configurations are
PHP Version : 5.2.9
Mysql : 5.0.92
Apache rewrite module not enebled
I have not installed wordpress to the root directory of my domain.
That is the directory where i installed wordpress is “www.mysite.com/demo”
Thanks a lot for your answers
Running wordpress 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.4.
Changing to the BP default theme, error still occurs.
I am running Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP); and when I deactivate this the error stop. So it has something to do with this plugin although I can seem to find out why.
@indyowls I would need pastebin of some other files as well. But if you’re using the ifeatures free theme here https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ifeature then you won’t need to add any more pastes.
@videogamerznet Arras is no longer hosted at WP Theme Repo.
Which Arras theme version did you download from Google code home http://code.google.com/p/arras-theme/downloads/list ? You might want to install the a) Theme Check plugin and b) Log Deprecated Notices plugin to check if the Arras theme version you have has been updated for WordPress 3.3 at the very least before thinking of making it compatible with BuddyPress.
Are you on Windows or Linux server or locally hosted on WAMP, MAMP, or XAMPP?
If on webhosting service, did you install WordPress via webhost script like Fantastico or Simplescripts, etc.? Start from scratch and install WordPress manually as in upload via FTP/cPanel/etc. Otherwise, please check server requirements plus WP configurations https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
@pfelberg I know you wanted the second option. But based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Minimatica theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace

Hello, hoping someone might shed some light on a small (large) issue I am having with user privacy settings…namely, they don’t seem to do anything. I have set the BuddyPress privacy settings options to display only to friends. The user account has a role of Member. However, all other members, even those not friended, can still see all information.
Wordpress 3.3.1
Buddypress 1.5.4
theme: Magazine-Basic
Also, on a seperate note, I was under the impression that forum sticky topics are supposed to appear at the top of the list, however, mine do not…they are treated as any other topic and appear dependant on what ever sorting option is choosen. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Well, just yesterday, I Downloaded BuddyPress Plugin for my Arras WordPress site but for some reason things are collapsing, I tried to fix it by following directions but I have not gone anywhere. I have looked for a while online as well and still no one can help me. I really need someones help to resolve this problem. The error that shows up is missing function or missing something but I just can’t figure it out. If someone could help me ASAP I would appreciate it.
@Ekine I’m using the built-in WordPress gallery for posts, along with this plugin for the lightbox overlays: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-jquery-lightbox/
@mnasir79 Yeah, I just threw the code for the Facebook Platform’s page on it until I get my own up, heh.
I’m still cleaning up some sections of the theme. When all that’s done, I’ll start focusing on publishing some content and trying to build up a community. I’m still not entirely happy with how some of it looks (notably the activity and member profile pages), so if anyone has any suggestions or criticisms, I’d love to hear their thoughts.
I’ve looked at solutions around here and found some that i thought would work but they didn’t.
This is a fresh WordPress, Buddypress, bbPress install. (Installed in that order)
When I installed all of the everything went fine until i wanted to access the site wide forums from the site.
When i klick on the forums link in the menu it i get a red square that says “The forums component has not been set up yet.”
In `Settings>Forums>Archive Slugs` i get one error.
`Forums base: Forums Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page`
Other then that i’m not able to see the forum index (list of categories and their sub forums) even if i add `[bbp-forum-index]` to the forums page.
anoune got and idea of what’s wrong (except that i’m a complete beginner at wordpress).
@mercime:
Yes you got the right theme!
I really need help to replace my current Buddypress theme with the Frisco theme.
Upgraded my site from a non-buddypress wordpress site to a Buddypress site, and I now I want to replace the default BP theme with the Frisco theme.
Which Frisco theme are you referring to? URI to theme?
WP Theme Repo has https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/frisco-for-buddypress which is child theme of BP-default theme
ok – if the members page (tab) was just a page, I know I could add a shortcode to it to present the members list plugin results, but the members page is not an editable page in wordpress, so I can’t.
Am I best to remove the members tab (by hacking out ??????) , then create a new page for members, ,where I can add the shortcode simply?
Hi guys,
I got problems with integrating Frisco theme into an existing WordPress-Buddypress theme.
I started with a non-Buddypress WP business theme and successfully integrated Buddypress by modifying the header-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php; the original business theme is not affected. In fact there’s one site with a business-theme and a Buddypress network-theme for the network section.
I would like to replace the current Buddypress theme by the Frisco theme without affecting the current original business theme.
Who can help me with integrating Frisco theme into my current Buddypress theme.
Thx in advance from Kookidooki!

Hey guys, this is beautiful feedback!
QUICK QUESTION! I’m desperate. I am learning more and more about WordPress and how to fix issues, but I am stuck.
I just migrated my site over to a Dedicated server and the process was a bit tough. I have everything buttoned up now, the site is running well (fast) but the only problem I am having is that I am not able to UPLOAD images as the admin, nor as a user??
The image shows that it is uploaded when I add them to pages, but they are blank. I am guessing it has to do with permission? There is no “error” message when I am trying to upload an image as an admin, but there is as a user. It reads:
“Server error. Upload directory isn’t writable”
I am sure this is a simple fix, but I can really really really use some guidance here. As I mentioned, everything is working beautifully!
Thank you in advanced!!
buddypress share..
it seems to have everything in it..
I went to facebook development page and got the code share..
I then put in the activity ID inside of the code and added the facebook iframe into the buddypress entry.php file..
so users can share it on facebook..
