BuddyPress.org

Unfortunately, there’s no way to do this. If you activate it, it activates for all. Although, there’s been a lot of discussion and people interested in what you’re trying to do. Just no developer that’s stepped up ready to build it.

@romik84 Ok, so if you’re not tracking each blog by channel, how do you know how much to pay each blogger?

Can BuddyPress really run on IIS and SQL Server? Even IIS and MySQL is problematic I believe.

As was mentioned, it depends on how you optimize your site and how fast you consider Jet Fast to be.

Bluehost might be the best option for WordPress (I use it myself), but it’s far from the best option for BuddyPress. It can work with BuddyPress, but not with any scale and you have to deal with little things like configuring the mail from plugin, or setting up the email address that BP uses. Either […]

I’d say that BuddyPress is better for people that want to have their own identity on the network and they want to interact with other people on the network outside of the forum. A forum is better for discussion of topics.

@Mouchoirs Do a search for “Private Buddypress site” or something like that and you’ll find lots of threads on how to redirect non-logged in users to the login or registration page. @djpaul, Seems like you should be able to just replicate the user account creation calls on another page right? This is something I was considering doing […]

@AnindyaRay Sure, integrating it with the various APIs for free would be awesome. Although, that would be a lot more work than just integrating with something like Cloud Sponge. Plus, if and when the various email providers change their API, this plugin would have to be updated. This wouldn’t happen with Cloud Sponge since they deal […]

That’s quite a few blogs you have your network. Nicely done. How are you tracking the Google Adsense across the network? You could use channels, but you can’t create that many channels and there’s no automated way to make channels. How do you know which blogs are generating the adsense revenue? I’d also love to […]

Thanks jjj!

One might say that only doing the ID and modifying the javascript for Google Adsense is against their TOS. I haven’t looked for a while, but I think when I saw a similar discussion they said something like Google doesn’t allow you to modify the javascript they provide. Of course, the argument the other way […]

Why not just extend the app to handle the awarding of your prizes? That way you’re not actually taking away points that they earned. Instead, you could just have a point “Balance” that’s displayed. I bet Paul has a bunch of hooks you could use for this, or if you add them he’d probably do […]

I think a query on the database is likely going to be the only solution that I can think of for this.

I’d start here to learn about hooks, actions and filters: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

Here’s the codex page for that: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

I think the key that you’re missing is that if you create something that is a derivative work of BP/WP and then distribute it then it needs to be GPL. If you use BP with a proprietary closed set of software that you’re not distributing to others you should be fine. Disclaimer: I’m not a […]

Delete the BP chat plugin folder in wp-content/plugins and it will stop that plugin and you’ll be able to get back in.

Then, you can test it on a test site and see why it’s not working right.

Run through the member loop on an admin page or something and then add each member in the loop to the group using the group_join_group (or something close to that). You can also add a friend request that way too. I can’t remember the add_friend function, but it’s in the invite anyone plugin if you […]

I don’t think it will work with a gmail account (at least without a major hack). It probably has to be somenameofanysort@yourdomain.com Then, you have to make sure that email is setup on your hosting.

Seems simple enough. You can disable a lot of the functionality you don’t want in the admin. The custom parts will be the profile itself, but you should be able to do this pretty nicely using the xProfile fields without too much custom work on your end. You might also have to build a custom […]

Also check to make sure that whatever email you are using in your Mail From plugin actually exists. Otherwise, there are often issues there.
