Hi @r-a-y or anyone
Urgent! I can’t launch the site without fix this bug. I just was testing to complete sign-up and click activation link in the email. I get an error:
`Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /path/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activate.php:3) in /path/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 897`
This warning doesn’t tell where the problem was causing the error. It takes me awhile to find the problem. These codes are working from “Duplicate Content: Slash and No Slash at the End of URL” but I found the problem either in functions.php or bp-custom.php or buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-catchuri.php is the same an errors when I clicked the activation link.
`function bp_core_redirect_canonical() {
if ( bp_is_blog_page() )
return;
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘redirect_canonical’, 0 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_loaded’, ‘bp_core_redirect_canonical’ );`
OR
`function bp_core_redirect_canonical() {
if ( bp_is_blog_page() )
return;
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘redirect_canonical’, 0 );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_redirect_canonical’ );`
When I deleted the above code the activation link in email is working. Can you fix the above code that I need it before launching the site?
Thanks, Mikey3D
I had already used the template pack but it doesn’t sort the problem. The links on the top menu want to go to…..my site/wp/members/admin/groups (members, forums etc) the links on the bar further down want to go to mysite/wp/groups (members, forums etc) the pages I’ve created are mysite/wp/index.php/groups (members, forums etc) which do work and show what they are supposed to …….so how do I get the other links to go to the pages that work?
I’ve read various things of what to do which is all ok if you know for sure what its all on about…..and I’ve tried loads of different things but nothing seems to be working……I put the members, forums folders in the top folder but I need an a b c guide on how to do it as I’m shooting in the dark really. The members folder I’ve put in the top folder doesn’t have an admin bit inside it
I have been web building for 8 years but there’s still a lot I don’t know & this is getting into this area unless I have an A B C guide of what to do & I’m not the only person who’s had this problem as I’ve read loads of places about it but not seem a simplistic soloution……its a shame cos wordpress is a very easy program to use and that’s why I’m prefering it to a lot of the other programs….. but this buddypress is not

Hi. Once you’ve made your changes, create a patch, and then upload to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ (you will need to make a new ticket — one ticket per patch/idea). Then one of the core team will take a look and give feedback/commit as necessary.
As @dennissmolek said, if a child theme has customised, for example single.php, it is important that this change does not render a duplicate sidebar. I am looking forward to see your suggestion.
Also, how much work would it be to make the sidebar go on the left? Is it just a case of changing the CSS or is it lots of work?
We’re trying to keep backwards compatibility for the theme as much as possible, as we encourage people to create child themes of it ad don’t want to annoy theme developers.
In general regarding custom post types: we have plans to do this everywhere for BuddyPress 1.4. I am sure that once we are closer to the release of 1.3, we will communicate details for 1.4 on the bpdevel.wordpress.com so everyone can discuss. That may be an appropriate time to kick-start the old groups-as-an-object ticket.
Anyone interested in UI should keep an eye on tickets marked as needing UI input: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=%21closed&keywords=~needs-ui
Perhaps we can add some more reports to the Trac. Are there any on https://core.trac.wordpress.org/report that you would find useful on the BuddyPress trac?
EDIT: just added report 17 — “Needs User Experience / UI Feedback / Designs”
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report/17
There seems to be a growing list of great plugins that have been abandoned. With the upcoming BP 1.3 I’m sure that list will grow much larger.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I always fear using plugins because I don’t want to add features for my members only to take them away a few months later.
With WordPress an abandoned plugin (in many cases) can continue to function well into future versions. If something does stop working the user base is so large that in many cases fixes are created by others. Even if there is no fix to be found you can easily find WP developers that you can hire. With BP (comparatively) you have a small user base and very few developers that have a solid understanding of the coding.
What I would like to see is a repository for developers to submit their plugins to that they no longer wish to maintain. Once a plugin is submitted BP.org can setup a trac for each one which is open to anyone that wants to help keep them going.
That’s just an idea. Maybe others have a better idea, but one thing is for sure, large numbers of broken plugins can take down BP just like it took down bbPress (Yes, I know bbPess is still around, but users from 2 years ago know what I’m talking about.).
A few great plugins that have been abandoned:
BuddyPress Links
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-links/
BuddyPress Group Forum Extras
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/
I guess all etiviti plugins:

BuddyPress Privacy Component

I’m sure members can fill these pages up with other examples.
Hi @johnjamesjacoby
we are kind of new to all this… How to start? I will check out the latest version via svn. That’s fine. But how to check in? Commit? Push?
Should I add the complete theme as .zip file on a ticket? I guess the size will be too big.
I would like to write this patch, I’d like to start with some easy job to slowly go into all this. So the sidebar bug is an easy startup.
@dennissmolek, i guess we can keep it update save (backwards compatible) by asking if the sidebar is already active
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_active_sidebar
Some more newbee questions:
Where do I add my other subjects? The sidebar was just one example of a long list we would like to discuss and write patches for.
Should we open a ticket for every idea we’d like to change?
Sorry, if some of the questions are already answered in other forum threads.
Maybe it would be a good idea, to write a guide to become an active part on the project.
Thanks for all, we are excited to start
Would I be right in saying that plugin commander is no longer working with the latest versions of wordpress and so YD Network-wide Options is the sensible successor?
First of all, do not use ALL CAPS to post your issue in this forum, it’s not kosher.
Second, what do you mean you “cannot get the links to work”? You have to be more specific than that – like link redirects to home page or to blank page, etc.
Third, pretty permalinks are required in BuddyPress installations. mod_rewrite must be enabled in your server.
Deactivate BuddyPress and any BP plugins you have installed, change to WP default theme – twentyten – and resolve permalink issues at WordPress forums before activating BuddyPress again.

yes alice, thanks I just remembered to add that to my last post. Please let me know if everything works correctly.
*edit: just saw your site, please uninstall. Guess there are still a few bugs…
*edit: I left out the main file, just finished it a few hours ago but didn’t upload it. It might take a few minutes to propagate to the wordpress server
@janismo @Aliceembroid @el_terko @phoenon @4ella @digte WordPress and Buddypress finally registered it https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-comments-collapse-and-expand/
*edit: If you plan on installing this plugin, please note that you must undo any changes made that were previously discussed within this forum topic.
I spent another five hours today trying to figure out a way to get this fixed for BuddyPress 1.3, I couldn’t figure out a solution that worked in all situations. It’s pretty much the same problem as https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1726
But……. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2299/iis.patch
If you can try that, @tejaswi2008, and either comment here or on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2299/ that the patch there works, I’ll drop that into BuddyPress 1.3. I don’t know how to force my dev installations to use almost pretty permalinks, so I can’t test it.
If you’re talking about the buddybar, read this: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/
If you’re talking about the WordPress 3.0 admin bar, that’s different.
In either case, you want this code: `groups_is_user_member( $user_id, $group_id )` 
It’s because the admin username that you set up with for your hosing account is different from the one that buddypress mentions to, which is “admin”. Not sure why this happens, but here is how to solve it.
Install this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpvn-username-changer/, and change the username to “admin”. You don’t have to change it to admin, but that’s what it says on your profile to mention to, “@admin“.
Thanks @digte , let me look into it and if I am able to post it there I will post a link.
*edit, wordpress approved the plugin, I have a link to the plugin as soon as possible
By the looks of that site – you need to enable pretty permalinks which is required for buddypress….
To fix this problem, enter the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Pemalinks – set to any configuration other than the default configuration. The mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work
Tyr one of these plugins to change the mail-from address so the users’ email providers will deliver the mail.

== Can someone please give me a dullards guide on installing child themes. How I am doing it now because that’s what I’ve read, is to activate the child theme and not the parent theme. But it still ain’t happening.==
The question is whether you created a child theme of bp-default theme or of a WordPress theme.
– If you created a child theme of bp-default theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/), upload the folder you created to server wp-content/themes/, then activate the child theme and you’re good to go and customize further.
– If you created a child theme of a regular WordPress theme, then you also need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin to make your child theme compatible with BuddyPress

Hi,
First I’m sorry for my language :-p
I begin with buddypress, i will use this for my friends.
I search a plugins to publish direct from the front, like facebook, if I post :
A link to youtube => i see the video
A link to a site => i see a picture with 2 or 3 lign text
I cut and paste a picture => I see the picture
…
I’have see this with P2 for WordPress, but i haven’t competance to integer this in buddypress
Can I find this or not ?
I begin with WordPress and Buddypress sorry for the question, thank you.

The code still works but, she just commented out the script for now @digte . alice reported a bug and I’m in the works of fixing it.
*edit : wordpress is reviewing the plugin now, not sure how long it will take but when it’s available i’ll let you know
Ok alice, I made a few modification when developing this plugin, so once I am able to figure out how to submit it to wordpress it will be downloadable and we can see if the problem persists.
This is not right forum to post at; the WordPress support forum is more appropriate:
https://wordpress.org/support/
Anyway, a quick answer, you’ll need to filter the RSS content and do your formatting that way. If it’s as simple as removing a few inline styles, you could do a search and replace on the content.
Would the Buddypress developers or any users have a favorite tutorial text they could recommended to take university students new to WordPress and Buddypress through the 1,2,3 steps needed to build a completed site with functions like Facebook, an e-magazine, or an e-newspaper+ forum ?
I’ve had good success with the format used by the Adobe Press Classrooom-in-a-book tutorials for Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop that include all the construction files, required to build incremental elements of the final project.
I’ve located tutorial resources for BuddyPress online or in print that provide different parts of this build process, but no single text that packages it like the Adobe Press tutorials. I’m sure its out there, so any recommendations would be appreciated.
I’m currently teaching outside the USA so can’t easily go down to my local Barnes and Noble and scan the shelves.
Thanks.
