Leo – are you on shared hosting? Do you have any idea what your PHP memory limit is?

Leo – I had a funny loop in there that might have been causing a problem with member imports. Please update the plugin to v2.0.1 and run it again (and thanks for the bug report).

@grandeped – I’ve never seen that plugin before. It might be possible to make the imports work right with that plugin. The one I know better is BuddyPress Album+, which might be my go-to. In any case, I’m trying to get the rest of the content importers to work with huge data sets first, before reaching […]

Hi Leo – Just this afternoon I wrote the code necessary to import avatars. Seems to be working quite well. I’m amazed that you have 1300 members in your Ning network! Any chance you’d be interested in being a guinea pig for the new plugin before I release it? Drop me an email at @gmail.com if […]

When someone gets to the level in question, why not just make them the admin of the group? groups_promote_member( $user_id, $group_id, ‘admin’ ). Then groups_demote_member when they lose their level. Fewer checks to the database that way too – no need to load user level on each group page load.

I don’t really get what you’re trying to do with that code. Those admin pages are blocked from regular group members by default. You shouldn’t need any additional code to do that.

I agree it’s generic but I just don’t see a programmatic way to allow easier editing of that information. Languages are too different from each other. Even making it work right for English would be an enormous task. For what it’s worth, I just happen to be editing a po file right now for a […]

From inside of the group, to check if the logged in user is the group admin,
if ( bp_group_is_admin() )
Elsewhere:
if ( groups_is_user_admin( $user_id, $group_id ) )

@modemlooper I’m not sure how .po files are generated. I assume the po-making program just runs through all the files in a directory in alphabetical order and finds strings like that, which would explain why they can be all over the place. Is it true that Poedit doesn’t have a useful search-and-replace? How about just opening […]

@nit3watch That’s an interesting idea about .po/.mo templates. Maybe in the future, if BP starts shipping with more than one default theme, it could also ship with more than one such default template, just to give people a sense of how you might make BP act differently. The slug idea might be workable (though awfully messy) […]

It would be impossible to make words like “Group” into an admin-configurable option on a text-heavy software like BuddyPress. In English, we might be able to get away with creating a singular replacement and a plural replacement, but not all languages work this way. In Russian, for example, a word might be in a different […]

Hi Brian – Yeah, I hope that I can figure out a way to import photos and videos, but it’s going to be hard, given that support for those items isn’t actually included in BuddyPress itself. BTW the plugin is almost release-ready. It still is broken with respect to a couple things (avatars and forum […]

Ha ha, glad that replacing .htaccess fixed things!

Shouldn’t matter which version of PHP you run for the sake of WP/BP – WP supports PHP 4.3 and up.

You shouldn’t have to delete the originals. But since the problem happens when you are using bp-default, I would guess that it has nothing to do with your theme.

Sounds like it doesn’t have anything to do with the theme, then. Have you turned on pretty permalinks? Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks, select something other than the default. Also, were you asked at any point during the installation of WP to create an .htaccess fil?

I know it’s Alex 🙂 Better to do this on the forums so that others can benefit from whatever Wisdom We Uncovere.

Are you experiencing the same problems when you use the bp-default theme?
