Hi Help Team,

I have been creating my CBOX for a few days now and several problems have come up that I have no idea to resolve. Any help you could offer would be really appreciated!

• When I first uploaded the CBOX plugin there was the amazing “forums” option on the menu (Such as this forum!) and it seems to have disappeared entirely. I went to the menu options and it is still not showing up there. Is there anyway to reprogram this page into my site?
• The “Register” button on my home page is not linking to the registration form… I’m sure this is an easy fix but I’m still so new to this that I can’t find it.

Thanks!

Becca

I am having the same problem with a new cbox install (my existing site is fine). In the new install both http://mydomain.com/register/ and http://mydomain.com/wp-login.php or http://mydomain.com/wp-login redirect to the home page so the buttons for join us or login take you nowhere and even typing the url in redirects to the home (mydomain.com) page

Hi @beccah –

CBOX has two types of forums – I think most CBOX sites use group forums.  You’ll need to create a group, and in that dialog, click the check box that confirms that you want a forum for your group.  Or if you are an admin of an existing group, simply go to the group’s settings and enable its forum.

Alternatively, you can create a forum that is open to all members.  Go to your dashboard Forums>>New Forums to create one.  Take note of the slug – you can modify and use that in your menu to access it.

@beccah  & @investa –

In terms of the registration page – have you tried to go to Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages ?  There you can create a Register and Activate Pages.  Once those are created, you’ll need to change the settings at Settings>>General to say that for “Membership” anyone can register.

That seemed to work for my (very beat up) test site.  Let me know if it doesn’t work for you guys.

Hi, I have the pages but I’ve just notice my working site has [bbp-register] and [bbp-activate] in those pages. i have added that but still no joy. This non-working site is also a multi-site so I think that must be where I am going wrong. Buddypress only appears under network admin but pages only under my main site dashboard. Is that correct?

THanks for your help Scott!!! I was able to fix all of my problems.
