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

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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?

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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 of mixed-up passwords?

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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 accounts are fully functional.

BTW, another plugin to help with activation is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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 functions referred to in friends_setup_nav(). Copy those to your own plugin file, change the function names (so you don’t get fatal errors) and then play around.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

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 economics are tricky

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

I have done this using WP user meta. At the moment, it takes a few hacks to get the directories working correctly. In BP 1.3, bp_has_members() has new ‘meta_value’ and ‘meta_key’ arguments, which will make it less hacky. You should be able to develop something at that point pretty easily. Or maybe someone could write a ‘member type’ plugin, using these new BP features.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Great, thanks. I’ll release a new version with the bugfix.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Did you remove the backticks? I had a typo that included an apostrophe where it shouldn’t have. Can you try again? (Sorry to make you do this, but I can’t recreate it on my machine)

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

If you have never activated Network Mode, then you don’t have it activated. Don’t worry about it.

Open up wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack/bp-template.php. Around line 48 you’ll see a line that looks like this:
`add_theme_page( __( ‘BP Compatibility’, ‘bp-template-pack’ ), __( ‘BP Compatibility’, ‘bp-template-pack’ ), current_user_can(‘switch_themes’ ), ‘bp-tpack-options’, ‘bp_tpack_theme_menu’ );`
Replace it with
`add_theme_page( __( ‘BP Compatibility’, ‘bp-template-pack’ ), __( ‘BP Compatibility’, ‘bp-template-pack’ ), ‘switch_themes’, ‘bp-tpack-options’, ‘bp_tpack_theme_menu’ );`

This is a bug that I’ll fix in the next version, but I’m not certain that it’s the cause of your error. Let me know.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Do you have network mode turned on? What is the exact content of the error message?

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Platform is not BP compatible. I just downloaded it and verified. The author of the theme has put the ‘buddypress’ tag in the theme’s metadata, which tricks unsuspecting folks into thinking that it’s compatible. But there are no BP template files in the theme at all. (A pretty crappy thing for the author to do, if you ask me.)

Not to worry – you can make the theme compatible by installing the BuddyPress Template Pack: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

The problem is probably that you’re hooking to ‘wp’, which is too late in the loading process to add new items to the nav bar. Try hooking to ‘bp_setup_nav’ instead.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

Good call, @r-a-y. I’m releasing a new version right now with the changes.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

There are a lot of people in this forum who would probably be willing to help, but you have to give more information than “Crash. Every time. Epic Fail.”

Also, it’s unlikely that there will be responses within 11 minutes, so there is no need to bump your post within that period of time.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

The Template Pack does, essentially, three things:
1) Moves BP-specific templates into your child theme
2) Enqueues bp-default’s JS
3) Enqueues a stripped-down version of bp-default’s CSS, to handle structural stuff

As @r-a-y says, you probably don’t want to replace your customized templates. Instead, you’ll have to merge in any custom functionality that you think you’re missing from later versions of bp-default.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 4 months ago]

BuddyPress development moves as quickly as it can with an all-volunteer crew of developers and support specialists. If you’re concerned that things aren’t moving quickly enough, you should get involved.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 5 months ago]

You’ll need to remove (or rename) the folder wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription, via FTP. Then try visiting your Dashboard.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 5 months ago]

Works for me too. Thanks, John!

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 5 months ago]

How did you add the Doc? Did you do it through a group on the front end, or through the Dashboard?

Docs should only be added through Groups interface.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 5 months ago]

Ditto. I can see the list but when you click on an individual plugin, nothing.

[@boonebgorges Keymaster 15 years, 5 months ago]

Bump. This is an issue related to recent changes on the wordpress.org site, and is still being looked into.
