BuddyPress.org

Probably not yet. I knew we were after a class/object for Groups, so I’d know it would be in bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php, found it, then had a look elsewhere in the code to check how it was used.

I think this is known issue.. I can’t remember if we’ve had a fix for this committed? Anyone sure?

Ah, have a read of http://wpmu.org/simplify-user-blog-posting-with-the-buddypress-quickpress-plugin/ 😉

Yep, you’ve got it exactly right – in /wp-admin/post-new.php.

If you want to let your users post from within the front-end, take a look at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-quickpress/. It hasn’t been updated in a long while so if it doesn’t work, hopefully someone else is aware of an alternate.

Hi Matthew, that sounds like a strange problem. When you click Create Groups, and you get the blank screen, this usually refers to a PHP error. Take a look at your webserver log for any messages around this time and let us know what it says

Do you mean you’re trying to upload a custom header? (Appearance > Custom Header)

What about something like does? You’ll have to dump the var to check what it contains.


$group = new BP_Groups_Group( $group_id );


I’ve done this sort of thing for several clients, so I suppose I could share how I’ve done it: http://buddypress.pastebin.com/ZMqNQh33

Put this into a custom plugin or in to /wp-content/bp-custom.php. Please note the above was copied, pasted, and hacked around before posting above so code might not be as good as it could be.

Are the blogs visible to search engines? i.e. public. If you set them so they don’t appear to search engines, they won’t appear in the directory.

Was your WordPress fully working before installing BuddyPress? e.g. posting a new blog post, adding a commenting, etc?
