@willandmae download BuddyPress https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/
unzip in your hard drive and upload via s/FTP to your plugins directory folder in server
one of the plugins I wish would work just doesnt but when I deactivate it still must leave something behind because certain things like the submit button and other things gets messed up.
Which plugin was it?
I have tried several times to install Buddypress group extras, for I wish to get the pro and do polls. But for some reason it keeps breaking the theme and I need to uninstall. Well, I tried the default buddy theme and it looks nice but its not so easy to uninstall and reinstall the theme.
Thank you trying it now…
Just tried and Shucks it doesn’t seem to be doing the trick this time.
@willandmae first time I’ve heard about BP Group Extras causing this kind of issue. Have you tried deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress, bbPress and BP Group Extras to confirm that BP Groups Extras is causing the issues? If it is, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-groups-extras to report it to the plugin author.
You Are correct! When I deactivated this I got it confused with another plugin. The Group Extras is working fine. The culprit one was with bbcodes (30) for forums GD BBPRESS TOOLS. When I finally got to remove this one everything came back to working. I am sooo excited to have control over this website again. Hehe kind of scared to add anything else. But, there are a few desired needs still. Maybe you could suggest working plugins for me.
1) For the forums it would be nice to have breadcrumbs for easier navigation. It seems most breadcrumb plugins cannot keep up with buddypress groups and bbpress forums.
2) These were the things I liked for the forum tools
BBCode shortcodes support
Quote Reply or Topic
User signature with BBCode and HTML support
3) Also, it seems the buddypress-default theme login in the right hand corner of the screen sidebar — isn’t working. If I try to login there it fails everytime. It then brings me to wordpress login and sucessfully login everytime. Any Suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
