You don’t need a plugin to do the first part. Just use groups, plus https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/

Categorization will be trickier, and will require some sort of custom plugin. This plugin may help get you started: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-tags/

Brajesh is right; it’s probably a Javascript problem. I’d suggest checking out Suffusion’s custom BP template pack. Otherwise, as a stopgap, you might try changing line 23 of wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack.php from wp_enqueue_script( 'bp-js', BP_PLUGIN_URL . '/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js', array( 'jquery' ) ); to if ( !is_admin() )…[Read more]

Group Reviews are BP activity items. BP does not allow non-members to post activity items to groups. You’d have to dig into BP to see where this restriction is upheld, and find a way to work around it based on that. (In other words, you’ll have to look beyond BP Group Reviews.)

It works for most people – to the best of my knowledge, there is no known issue. I have heard of people having problems when using their webhost’s auto-install. Did you do this for WP or for BP? Do you have access to the database? Can you see whether the forums tables have been created? […]

@4ella As I noted both in a message to you, and in the commit message, and in the documentation, the Doc count in BuddyPress Docs will only work on BP 1.3. I’ll see what I can do about applying a similar fix to Group Reviews, though it’s likely that that’ll be a 1.3-only fix as […]

How would BP know about the custom fields? The only fields that BP can really know about with any certainty are the post_content field and perhaps the featured image. It probably wouldn’t be wise for BP, by default, to look through all of a post’s custom fields when creating activity items, as many people use […]

Can you be more specific about the kind of behavior you’re requesting? What would happen with those posts in the activity stream?

If it’s a multiple-group thing, it *might* have to do with your theme. Are you using a custom theme? What is it? Is it a child of BP default? Can you show us the contents of members/single/profile/edit.php?

@stwc I have found and corrected the error that was causing those warnings. I’ll release a new version momentarily.

I’m afraid I’m unable to reproduce the activation problem. Maybe there’s a plugin conflict somewhere. What else are you running?

That is a very unhelpful comment. What doesn’t work?

It’s very hard to post a “cure all”. Sadly, I do not have a telepathic connection to your server 🙂 Have you gone into the Dashboard > Users (or Network Admin > Users) section to ensure that the users are there? Have you tried changing a password manually to see if it’s just an issue […]

That function is not used by Import From Ning. You must have another plugin installed that uses this deprecated function. Perhaps bp-groupblog?

Clearly there are PHP fatal errors happening. If you can figure out what’s in your PHP error logs, it’ll specify where in the code the errors are happening.

It’s absolutely busted PHP code.

The majority of installations of BuddyPress have the internal forums component working just fine. Saying it’s “absolutely busted” is absolutely false.

The folks in this forum are friendly and willing to help you figure out your problem. It’ll help if you’re friendly too.

This is the line in the most recent .pot:
#: includes/integration-groups.php:604 includes/integration-groups.php:659
msgid “Docs”
msgstr “”

The bundled Spanish translation looks to be several version old.

It’s not that the activation key is being “lost”. It’s that the user has already been activated, and the error being thrown by WP/BP (“provide a valid key”) is extremely unhelpful. It will be improved in BP 1.3. Just instruct your users to log in with their username and password. They should find that their […]

What you’re essentially doing is adding a new component. See https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/ for some inspiration. Or, for something a little simpler, see how BP itself does it. Look in bp-friends.php for an easy example. The key functions are: friends_setup_globals(), friends_setup_nav(), and the screen…[Read more]

It’s a nice idea in theory. The problem is that Jetpack is developed and maintained by a couple of people who get paid to devote large amounts of time to the project. BuddyPress is almost entirely developed by volunteers, who have their hands full enough trying to keep up with development on BP core. The […]

Wow. This is a bug, totally my fault. I’m amazed you were the first one to discover it!

I’m about to push out a new version that has a fix. So sorry for the confusion. Thanks for reporting it!

I know the cause. The plugin is using the WP Settings API to create/save settings. But the Settings API does not work with the Network Admin. There is no straightforward workaround, unfortunately. Perhaps the easiest way is to reconfigure the way that the admin menu is loaded so that it’s not in the Network Admin […]
