This means that the user hasn’t activated their account yet. I need to change the message.

Can we get this plugin updated so it doesn’t crash your site if BuddyPress is deactivated? Thanks.

Looks like a bug in tweetstream invalidating the feed.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Which theme are you using and which WP version?

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

I’ve added this code to the 1.2 branch so you should not need to do this for future versions if you have defined a custom upload path. Thanks kb734.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

This is nothing to do with BuddyPress, hackers can just try logging in as admin on your login form and find the same thing.

Number one thing to do when you first install WordPress is to change the admin account to something else. WordPress 3.0 will allow you to change this when you first install.

You can edit the admin username in your database in the wp_users table. Change the user_login and user_nicename value.

Subdirectory installs work fine for me, try the default theme and see if that works first.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

1.3 will use WordPress pages for navigation, so you can just add/remove/move pages around to edit the main navigation.

Works fine on testbp.org – http://testbp.org/activity/feed/

Are you talking about a specific feed? I’ve tested the user and group feeds and both work fine.

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ) . ‘&search_terms=’ . $searchterm) ) : ?>

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Nothing changed with avatars from 1.2.2.1 to 1.2.3.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Don’t dig around in the array, use

bp_core_remove_nav_item() and bp_core_remove_subnav_item()

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Yes you can actually already do this if you add a text box to your theme. You need to pass the parameter ‘search_terms’ into the activity loop.

Only 11 votes away from 100, come on, who’s going to get us there!?

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Yes, but disable other BuddyPress plugins just to be sure.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

This is fixed in 1.2.3.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

This is fixed in 1.2.3.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

No, no difference wp_mail() is used throughout BuddyPress.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Right yes, I will do some debugging with WPMU.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

Please consider opening a ticket with a patch for new actions to put in the bp-default template, that way you can reduce/remove the template editing step.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

@pdreissen Creating users from the backend doesn’t require activation, so there’s no need for an activation email.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

@berryblanton Please try deleting and re-downloading 1.2.3 again. There was a small bug with root profiles, but I updated it pretty quickly after putting it on the repo, so it wasn’t worth re-tagging.

[@apeatling Keymaster 16 years, 2 months ago]

See this thread for possible plugins that can help you out with hosts that restrict mail sending.

Who is the author of the “simple_buddypress_profile_privacy” plugin? They need to update their plugin so it doesn’t die if BuddyPress is disabled:

Also consider all of the amazing extra functionality you get by using a group as a container.

For example on the new BuddyPress.org forums there is a group called “How-To and Troubleshooting” that replaces the existing plain forum of the same name. By switching this to a group forum I also get:

• A dedicated activity stream so users can easily track new topics and replies in chronological order.
• A dedicated list of people who have posted to the forum so you can gauge popularity or send out notices to only those who are interested.
• Ability to extend and add features like a group blog, where members could post helpful information or even videos on how to fix common problems. Or even a group wiki so specific help documentation could be kept up to date by group members. The list is endless, and the number of group extensions is starting to make groups super powerful.
