I am not able to contribute to the code or programming aspect of this discussion but i can and have tested as many things as I could. I am a user of the BuddyPress software and have been for a while now, where do we (users) fit in this puzzle? I would be willing to […]

Hey what plugins are you using? Are you using BP Events? I have soo many I am really worried I will screw my site all up.

This is an interesting topic… If i had to answer the topic I would say YES! Since it’s very inception BP has continually shed plugin and theme developers. With all do respect to Andy, the software development has continually managed to break many useful plugins and themes forcing people to either stay or go with […]

@r-a-y there have just been too many revisions that have broken things way too many times at this point. The expectations to have plugin and theme developers have their work continuously broken has seriously hurt this project. It seems like almost every year BP sheds people who are confounded with the “new” changes. As I have said before i…[Read more]

I hear you and it seems like we have no choice but to try and do some things on our own at this point. Too many BP revisions breaking too many things for little or no reason. it has just made the whole thing a mess IMHO. I have a community with plugins and functionality that will be all messed up at this point if I upgrade. Uggh!
Let me…[Read more]

stuck with 1.1.3 🙁

@peterverkooijen I am not upgrading to 1.2 either. Please let me know if you get 1.1 to work with 3.0

Hi Derek, perhaps you and Peter can create a group specifically for BP 1.1 installs? Might be interesting and useful for those who are sticking with the BP 1.1 branch. Also, have you thought about upgrading to BP 1.2, but using the BP Backwards Compatibility plugin? This should give you most of the functionality from BP 1.1, but on a more,…[Read more]

Derek Bolden posted on the forum topic bp-events plugin ported to 1.2.x ? in the group Third Party Components & Plugins: 14 years, 5 months ago
I am pretty resigned to the fact that i am not going to be upgrading my BP sites any time soon if ever. I am really disappointed by this because until 1.2 things were going great with the platform. That would not be so bad except for the fact that the invite system on BP […]

Derek Bolden posted on the forum topic The BuddyPress UI Design and conceptual approach to Social Networking in the group Miscellaneous: 14 years, 6 months ago
i would have to painfully agree that there are some serious usability issues that have popped up in the latest versions of BP. I think @finni3 hit the nail on the head that the changes since 1.1.X do not seem to have made sense in terms of ease of use or accessibility. What i am afraid […]

i am not sure BuddyPress is the best alternative for the former Ning folks. I don’t think that it should be marketed that way.

I am too however it will be August 23 at least before we see anything from GSOC. The problem is many of us using BP Events are still forced to use 1.1.3 so depending on were WP and BP are this is going to be one heck of a tricky upgrade. I am still using […]

Derek Bolden posted on the forum topic YAEP (yet another events plugin) in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 6 months ago
I have tried these and the problem with them is that they incorporate the admin dashboard to create events. If only the admin is creating events that’s fine but if you have users who need to create events the setup is way too confusing for them. In addition you would have to give everyone of […]

Somebody? Anybody? Come on guys/ gals this really stinks! If I knew PHP I would do it myself but I am just a BuddyPress user… Somebody has to know how to get this working?

I am taking another look at SocialEngine. It’s a more expensive solution for sure but it has a complete feature set. I will wait and see what their new release (V4) looks like.

@Mike_Pratt I have been here as long as you have so you know that I am a fan of BuddyPress, however I cannot honestly say that my sites have not suffered due to some of the missing features that were standard on NIng. I had a ton of members that used the events system a […]

I cannot express how frustrating this waiting has been. I just don’t know if BuddyPress is going to suit my needs moving into the future. Which is a bummer because there is so much potential here. I guess I will just stick with my 1.1.3 sites until I can move to another platform… Again. Uggh!

I would try it on a test installation first! I do use many plugins, some integrated in my theme. Everything still looks OK.
I don’t use BP Events. I don’t trust those ambitious BP-specific plugins for events, galleries, etc. The BP foundation is just too shaky. I use mature WordPress plugins or external scripts and plan to integrate them over…[Read more]
