Committing BuddyPress developer. I'm the lead developer for the CUNY Academic Commons, where I have the pleasure of developing lots of custom BuddyPress and WordPress components and plopping them in the repository. I also sometimes do consulting on projects related to WordPress, BuddyPress, and other open source publishing platforms. You can visit my blog, where I release BuddyPress and WordPress related software and write about a number of delightful things, at teleogistic.net.

Have you tried doing some logging/dumping to see where things are going awry? What happens when you dump the following:
`var_dump( $post_categories );
var_dump( $new_events_slug );
var_dump( $cat […] -

Can you clarify what you’re trying to do, and the ways in which what you’ve written are falling short? I take it that the ”two categories” is *not* what you want?

Can you clarify which files you mean when you say “the settings folder from the core BP files”? Do you mean the following:
buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/If so, these files […]

@hnla It sounds like you might have found a bug.

As Hugo points out, this is almost certainly a memory issue. Check out http://www.nerdgrind.com/increase-wordpress-and-php-memory-limit/ for details on increasing your memory limit. If this is not the problem, […]

Is the user a member of the group where you are trying to create the topic?
What is the privacy level of the group in question?
What versions of WP/BP? What theme? What other plugins? Are you able to […]

If you want to use it in a theme, try putting it in a function wrapper and then calling that function in your template. In functions.php:
`function bbg_forum_pag() {

Here’s what I suggest.
Copy the function
bp_blogs_record_post()to your own plugin, and rename it. Near the beginning of the function, add a little logic that does the following:
- Gets the post categories, […] -
Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic How to limit activty loop to friends only sitewide with the exception of the admin? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
There’s a couple different things happening here.
First, because you’re hardcoding the additional parameters directly in the template, they apply to everywhere in your theme where you show activity. You might […]

Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic The Register Button goes to Home page? in the group Creating & Extending
It looks like BuddyPress was not properly installed. You should never see the ’You have no groups’ message, unless you have manually deleted something from the database.

The purpose of the BuddyBar is to provide a number of handy links throughout an entire WP/BP installation. I’d suggest that you just get rid of it on small screen sizes.
Has anyone been able to reduce all the […]

Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic Group Forum within the Group itself? in the group Creating & Extending
I got this error when I click on the groups tab
This is a problem with the BuddyPress Groups Extras plugin. Try disabling it. You should also turn down the PHP error reporting level; it should never show this […]

Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic The Register Button goes to Home page? in the group Creating & Extending
Works fine for me. If you’re being redirected to the home page, it’s probably because you are logged in – logged-in users are not allowed to look at the Register page.

Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic Preventing group members from inviting others? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
If you don’t want anyone in any group to be able to send invites, put the following in your bp-custom.php file:

$can_send_invites = false;return […]

Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic Cannot comment on or favorite Activity Stream posts in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
It sounds like you have a javascript issue with your theme. What theme is it? Did it come with BuddyPress compatibility built in, or did you use the BP Template Pack to set it up yourself?

Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic List of topic pages next to forum topic (bp_the_topic_pagination) in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
Anything’s possible
You won’t be able to do it with
bp_the_topic_pagination()because that function requires that you are inside of a single topic loop, which you’re not.Try something […]

Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic Only My Profile page 404ing after 1.5 upgrade ... ? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
By default on my install, BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE was “true”. I’m not sure why.
I’m not sure why either. By default, BP does not define it at all, much less to
true. It sounds like setting it […] -
Boone Gorges replied to the forum topic Buddypress 1.5.5 Update issues in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
It sounds like the BuddyPress Stalker plugin is the culprit – my guess is that it is not initializing itself properly, so that when WP deactivates BuddyPress momentarily during the upgrade process, Stalker […]
