A superb plugin – millions of thanks.
I have a small problem in my set-up – in presence of BP-Cover activated, the Mute toggle does not work (tested in default twentyfifteen, can pm you a demo link if thats okay)I have also posted here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bp-cover-deactivates-mute-toggle?replies=1#post-6811281
The other similar functions (or dissimilar) like “Follow” “Block” etc do work in the same settings. Thanks for looking into this.
If anyone knows of a BuddyPress plugin that requires setting role capabilities
Buddypress itself does not require setting role capabilities – so a Buddypress plugin usually should not need this. Most of the commonly used buddypress plugins like photo/album (rtmedia), location plugins, imath’s Rendzevous ( sort of an Event plugin with a difference) do NOT require setting role capabilities and works well in the above scenario.
I actually tried this extensively even before I saw this post – its purpose is something different. It will not add users to the main site.
If anyone knows of a BuddyPress plugin that requires setting role capabilities and works without members belonging to the main site
Event Manager does this. It requires setting role capabilities and yet no one has to manually set the members belonging to the main site. It has a very wide range of configuration options that makes it rather “heavy” – still I could have used it but it has no Attendee options. It lacks “Attending : Yes | NO | Maybe ” and an Attendee list that others can see. Apart from this, from frontend it offers same functions and users can add Events from the profile too with Location Map etc.
A huge amount of thanks and gratitude to @shanebp, who is actually doing tremendous amount of help and work for the buddypress events plugin. Kudos!
The above plugin has no sync with buddypress activity stream.
It also does not show who has favorited a post (compare Jetpack Likes)
Thanks for the news.I am also suffering from this issue.
@modemlooper it was posted in support forum / github of almost all Like and similar plugins long long ago by many users. No response.Buddypress core via trac was also requested / issue submitted to make the “Favorit” logical like comments – if you can comment both ways, favorit should also be like that. Isn’t it ? But this has been indefinitely postponed.
Jetpack Like team was requested because they have the “power and punch” – but there also nothing happened.
True – only Buddypics does Favoriting both ways.
wordpress-4.2-beta3 – Multisite subfolder install,
Default Twentyfifteen theme
Buddypress 2.2.1
Latest version of this plugin
Network Activated this pluginA buddypress member can see the Events tab in profile and can fill up the Events form, but on submission the Event is not saved – empty form is returned. Thus the members cannot use Events at all.
I have assigned all Roles the permission to create Event. See this http://s18.postimg.org/5wmavsiop/event.png
The site super admin can create Event but NO map is seen.If you have any Multisite subfolder demo with latest WP 4.2beta3 can you kindly set up a demo link?
Thank you.Hi @andy264 Have a look at buddystream dot net.
They do support external streams like fb, last.fm etc
You can see the manuals there or request to add SpotifyHope this helps.
My set up is WP 4.1, BP 2.2 – Multisite config – define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
Users can both register and create sites and have their individual blogs.
The admin user can upload photos but when a non-admin user tries he or she can create a gallery but gets error message when tries to upload an image
“abc.jpg(82 kb)x This file type is not allowed in current gallery. Only files are allowed!”In the same setup and scenario there is no such problem with rtmedia.
I think there are reported but unsolved issues regarding this in github page of mediapress
You can reproduce this in your localhost [ Multisite config – define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);]
Create site and user, and then login as that user and try to upload. You will get an error message.The other problem is that – when you want to favorite a photo after you have clicked a thumbnail and reach the photo page, there is no Favorite button. In case of photos that were uploaded yesterday or a few days back you cannot go on searching the activity stream particularly when there are a lot of comments etc
Mediapress does not work with multisite and when multi blog mode is enabled – even using the updated version. I have tested with Multisite (non subdomain – define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);)
Rtmedia works smoothly without any problem, only thing is that the activity stream entries look ugly due to centrally placed thumbnails in a column.
The p2 theme has a form that can directly add media or albums from user’s wordpress core media but there is no plugin to plug this into buddypress in a responsive theme. Sad!
@djpaul If you can integrate p2 theme for buddypress maybe efforts at re-inventing wheels can be spared. p2 has a status box that can post single or multiple images as well create albums (galleries) from the status text area box (which also lets you post blog from front end)
@gina go to go to /wp-admin/network/settings.php
and select “Both sites and user accounts can be registered.”
Then do what you did – I guess things will finally work.Though ideally it would have been logical if it created the Register page and then said “No, you cannot register with current settings. Please contact site admin”
@imath okay then add notice by the side of : Associate WordPress Pages with the following BuddyPress Registration pages.
Before you use this go to /wp-admin/network/settings.php
and select “Both sites and user accounts can be registered.”WP+BP needs to have distro
WP and BP standalone
WP Network and BP
any otherDistros will have inbuilt pages and settings already available so that users are not confused. Users can straightway use the flavor they want – simple!
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-labs/ says :
This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
It is also buggy and does not work. Compatible up to: WordPress 3.5, BuddyPress 1.7What you say is true but certain essential features need to be there. Again there can be debate what is essential to me is not essential to you. But “Likes” ( or any other name for it) is a core feature of Elgg, Drupal, Phpfox, Oxwall – name any paid or FREE scripts. It is sad that the “Likes” code of wordpress com has not been passed to wordpress org and more sad that it has not thus been incorporated into buddypress. Apparently there are lots of efforts at re-inventing wheels.
Please also understand that majority of users who are using BP
– are small to medium users, many are hobby users
– they cannot code a plugin but looks for readymade solution
– they have to customize their site which takes time and effort, get content and usersJust as developers are gracious and we are grateful to them, so are the users – if users never adopted and tested freely BP so much where it would have been?
I think we badly need a StackExchange type Q and A forum here that comes up with actual code or solutions, which can be rated and used instantly.This problem happens with default and fresh, core install of Network Activated WP 4.1 and BP 2.2
– you can super easily reproduce this on your localhost. No other plugin, nothing.@mrjarbenne After testing I find both are buggy and do not work the way “Like” works in any social net.
On second thoughts, it seems impossible unless years and years pass by. It seems P2, Jetpack, BP etc, though under the umbrella of WP, does not care about one another or any integration. They have their own development paths and own egos and issues. It seems like Microsoft of the 2000s
P2 already has a status box or text area input box that can be used to post status, blog ( great!!) as well as media that picks up media from the core media library – but BP seems to have never integrated this. Jetpack has nice “Like” feature – but they said it cannot be integrated with BP. I wrote to Matt but he never responded. Sigh!
Please test it with BP 2.2 – it takes one second!
The problem is with Buddypress – it does not pickup gallery thumbnails in activity stream or comments made on images in the activity stream. Its not their problem – they say. So I was wondering if anyone has used it and found alternative ways or has already made a default theme for BP out of it.Register and Activate pages cannot be created – fresh core default install of WP 4.1 and BP 2.2
I am trying this on localhost – whenever you associate Register or Activate with any page the settings are not saved and returns “none” (irrespective of Multisite or not)@ubernaut @henrywright http://jetpack.me/2013/06/10/moving-sharing-icons has some instructions. Do you know in which of the buddypress files we need to put these to show “Likes” button in the river?
I actually would have missed since this thread has become old! But thanks for responding at last.
1) Can I “Like” from a blog post and it will show in the activity stream? And vice versa?
2) Can an user see a collection of another users’ Likes? In the demo I saw this missing
3) How does the theme behaves in WP Multisite set up and/or with a standard 3rd party plugin eg buddypress-activity-privacy.1.3.3?
4) Media solution by buddyboss is separately priced but seems incomplete:
– Cannot mark directly on photo, see photo tagging in FB or other php scripts
– Cannot do multiple ( but max number settable by site admin) photo upload simultaneously
– Media files not integrated in WP media etc
5) How does the interface look like when one submits a blog – is he thrown out of the theme?
6) Less important – Wall comes as a separate premium plugin but does not let you post blog/event/location – nothing except photo. It has also only river display – some premium themes similarly priced offers both river and card display. No profile cover photo also ?True, we used to have an open forum, but we had too many spam signups and closed it to customers only.
I will request you to make a custom solution for yourself to prevent spam signups. This will be more creditable stuff encouraging us to go for custom solutions to Buddyboss. Thanks again.

They have some themes which provide this. You can also make a request here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ to incorporate this as all social nets and social scripts are having this feature these days.feel free to check out the BP Jobs Forum
The forums listed here are:

Plugin ForumsI am not finding any Jobs Forum. The Devs that seem to be doing some good work in this respect are devs from Buddyboss – but they are making no replies to contact from submissions and they have no open forums.
@ubernaut please do not take “immediately” in the literal sense of the term. Nothing is immediate in free+open source unless very enthusiastic code-wizard young non-commercial dev is there. What I meant is that delaying the mile-stone in such an user-facing necessity is unwelcome. Again I know there can be lots of argument as what is a “necessity”
Paid development has its problem. I saw the paid work by buddyboss who has its own implementation of likes – but it is far from satisfactory. There are two problems in hiring a dev (apart from the fact this is for non-advertisement free hobby site):
1) The dev cannot change the core of WP and BP unless it changes ‘itself’
2) No guarantee that dev will be available in future alsoOkay I found this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5610
This is really a critically ill-experience for the end-users BUT the milestones are being delayed from 2 to 2.1, then to 2.2 and then to 2.3Looks like BP has to be abandoned if this is not provided immediately in the form of a “hack” or plugin. I am unable to execute the patch provided there.
Go to wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings
Find:
Registration
Associate WordPress Pages with the following BuddyPress Registration pages.Now create a New Page and save it with the name – register
and then choose it from the drop-down and save settings.
