New "Activate" page appeared

  • A new page has appeared in my Pages list named “Activate”. The post is blank but when you view the page it shows:

    Activate your Account
    Please provide a valid activation key

    Page is: https://cincinnaticaferacer.com/activate/

    I’m not sure what it is asking me to activate or why. It could be the new version of WP 3.2.1 that I had re-installed? It could be the new Theme = Custom Community 1.8.3 by Themekraft. It could be the new bbPress Ver. 2.0 plugin I installed for forums. The forums are not showing up in my nav, so I wonder if that is the problem. Have you seen this before?

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    Tried that. Nothing.

    However, not I’m getting a yellow bar message at the top of the CMS pages: “Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.” which is fine… but I still have no forums.

    And what is that dang “Activate” page that I did not post?

    I tried posting some new forum topics and get a link to a blank page:
    https://cincinnaticaferacer.com/forums/topic/jim-wilson-ride-oct-22nd/

    And a new forum does the same: https://cincinnaticaferacer.com/forums/forum/meetups-and-events/

    Perhaps it is SLUG related??

    Well, I think the ACTIVATE page is part of BuddyPress. I found the template for it (activate.php) in the editor. That onscreen text was in it. Not sure why this PAGE suddenly appeared. (perhaps in an update?)

    Have you tried asking on https://buddypress.org/support/ ?

    Okay, I went to the settings of the bbPress plugin.
    I changed the Archive Slugs / Forums Base name from the default “forums” (which had an error stating it may conflict with BuddyPress forums) to my own name of “motorcycleforums” and now my bbPress forum is visible (but not linked in Nav) at https://cincinnaticaferacer.com/motorcycleforums/ . I can’t figure out how to get a Nav link to it. The default BuddyPress FORUM menu item is there but has a blank page.

    I Can add a bbPress sidebar widget to show the forums. But how do I get it in the top BuddyPress nav?

    It’s really messing with me. Similar issue, in order to keep the Community/Members page showing I have to have a Members page linked in the nav. Ugh. I may need to call it a night and get some dinner. I’ll revisit this with fresh eyes later.
