BuddyPress.org

I have the most recent wordpress and buddypress editions. (updated this morning. My issue started right when I installed buddy press and started to set it up though–which was earlier this week)

My site link is http://dogagilitycentral.com/

Okay so I am attempting to set up a niche social networking site for people who share my hobby. I installed buddy press and followed the instructions. I created pages to correspond with the buddy press component directories. The links that work are the activity streams, members, and user groups. I was also able to set up a log in area on the left of the page.

My problems (probably somehow caused by me and I just am not savvy enough to realize it):

-The ‘the search’ page, and the ‘register’ page are both under the buddy press template. They show up as being linked to the buddy press pages under “pages” in the buddy press setting section. However, when I click the “view” button, they redirect me to the homepage of my site.

-Neither of the pages above show up on the left under links, even though I put the pages in the “community” parent. In the “pages” >> “All Pages,” the missing pages appear under the “community” parent and have proper permalinks listed. >_>

-I tried to put the entire “community” collection of links in its own area underneath the page links on the left of the homepage, as you see. Did not work–still only those 3 that appear

-I don’t have a forum page linked to the forum directory under buddy press pages but the direct link still works. however, when I did have a page assigned to it, it didn’t show up under links. I can’t figure out how to get the main forum page to appear under links. Right now I have one message board created and to get it to show up, I had to link it individually under the “forum” section on the left of the homepage. I want to have a link that just leads to the forum mainpage.

Sorry if I made a mess of all this. x_x not sure what I did wrong. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Could this be a compatibility error with my theme? (which would make me very sad, but hey, whatever works I guess.) I installed the plugin that is supposed to walk you through setting buddy press up with your existing theme. However, when I activated it, it gave me a “fatal error” line, so I deleted it.
