Find resolution in WordPress.org Forums before installing BuddyPress

[RESOLVED] Root cause was meta_value in table wp_bb_meta remain unchanged after migration to other site.
Scenario: I had similar problem on forum. I tried removing and re-installing many times. Re-installing means copying my complete wordpress with plugin buddypress folder still didn’t worked. Sometimes i used to get HTTP Error 403 Forbidden while accessing forums. This was error was esp when i used existing installation option from admin page in forums setup under buddypress.
But when I click on setup new bbpress installation I could post on forums but could not see topics.
REASON: I checked the database for table wp_bb_forums and it had entry of new topic, then I checked wp_bb_meta in that incorrect meta value was setup for field meta_value where meta_key is uri , I corrected the url stored in meta_value it was url of my previous website name. I had done migration to new site so the problem. If you face similar conditions just check these values.

Category pages as in- your theme?

If so, I would say this isn’t a buddypress issue.

Use the wordpress forums, or Twenty-Ten Theme Forums if possible.

Paul already mentioned this. It’s possible, but requires some workarounds.

You’d need to unhook how BuddyPress catches URI requests and route them to groups.

The comments below are for people who know their way around WordPress:

– The catch URI function in BP is the bp_core_set_uri_globals() function located in /bp-core/bp-core-catchuri.php.
– You can unhook this from the “bp_loaded” action. Then write your own function to catch URI requests. Would be good to duplicate the function and look at the BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES section of the code to modify it to read groups.

Hope that gives you some pointers!

1. You don’t require BuddyPress if you just want something like the photoblog site you linked to. You only need
a. The reflection theme http://xyloid.org/projects/reflection/
b. Yet Another Photoblog Plugin http://johannes.jarolim.com/blog/wordpress/yet-another-photoblog/
c. Allow user registration to your site – at least Contributor level – and instruct users on single image uploads only.

If you still want to install BuddyPress, the three BuddyPress-compatible gallery/media plugins mentioned above can be configured to limit users to single image uploads at a time.

I have tried all that and if I don’t manually add an auto_increment id to the bb_term_relationships table, I get the error “There was an error creating forum topic”. I cannot either see the topic details… I have no additional plugins installed and my permalink structure is the “Month and name” one. Also, my document root is “c:/xampp/htdocs/” and I have my installation in “c:/xampp/htdocs/www/wordpress”.

=== Another plugin perhaps that could be styled so that the password recovery page could be made to look like the rest of the site? ===

There’s premium plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-branded-login-plugin-for-your-buddypress-powered-site/

Hello, I have installed Buddypress 1.2.8 in wordpress 3.1, and solved the forum topic creation error buy adding an auto_increment field to the bb_term_relationships table, as follows:

id bigint(20) auto_increment

It seems that the installation does not create the table with a primary auto_increment id field, and for me that was causing the problems. I am running a windows xp with xampp, working in localhost. Mysql version is 5.5.8 and php 5.x. The theme I am using is a custom one, located at wp-content/themes/

Still, I cannot see each topic’s detail page when I click them. I am trying to fix this at the moment, any clues ?

Yes you can. However, installing BuddyPress only for the forum feature alone is overkill if you’re not going use the social networking components of the plugin. The BuddyPress internal bbPress forums are associated to groups by default. I would suggest that you install a WP or WP-compatible forum plugin or software like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-server/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mingle-forum/
http://simple-press.com/
or integrate external bbPress plugin with your WordPress site.

If you do intend to use BuddyPress components plus the forums, before you install and activate BuddyPress, you would need to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress via BP Template Pack plugin or by building a child theme of bp-default theme that comes with BuddyPress plugin first. If you are going the first theme route – BP template pack – then you could add the necessary link to your BP components including forums by adding the links listed in ul#nav seen here
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php#L46

=== I’ve made a custom template for the website’s front page and the widgets do not seem fully functional. ===

In your new front page template are you sure that you registered your sidebar/s in your custom theme’s functions.php and did you add the necessary dynamic sidebar tags in your template file?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar

OK. So, is there a way to generically modify functions.php (like another WordPress hook or whatever) so that if I change themes the code you gave me would not “go away”. Or, would I have to make the same changes in a new theme if I decided to use it?

Man, this makes very little sense to me.

I want to insulate all of my members from any WordPress panels. So far, THE only place I see the problem occurring is when a user types in a bad profile/password. In that case he/she is taken to the “wiggling” login page. I looked at a couple ajax login plugins, but they don’t really “replace” the default login.

Shouldn’t BP have an option to turn off the default login? Or maybe have it set up so that the default login widget is a pre-installed widget that could be removed/replaced?
