@scotm what are you doing on your BP site with the admin user to generate activity which you don’t want in the activity stream?

@nuprn1 did you do a plugin to hide the admin account from the members directory, or was that someone else?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

For that to work as intended, you also need to set WP_LANG in your wp-config.php and load a nBb_NO translation for WordPress.

Erich73, you didn’t really need to cross-post this https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/german-language-translation/

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

You’re best to send a support request in to your host and ask them where the webserver/PHP error log is.

Original post said: “Is it a user role issue? Right now I’m setting all my new users as “Author”.”

I think he’s looking for posting without going into wp-admin

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

A tag is for a specific release of BP: e.g. 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3.
A branch is for a specific range of releases: e.g. 1.2.*

Any bug fixes will be applied into the 1.2 branch so it’s a good, mostly safe place, to stay if you want to run a version newer than 1.2.3 that isn’t going to add new functionality or mess up your site.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

No idea, most probably from your theme or another plugin. If you look in the HTML source, does it give any clues?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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


$group = new BP_Groups_Group( $group_id );


[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

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

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

@apeatling ping

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

I’ve moved sites from domain to domain before, but not IP to domain.

If you export your MySQL database, open it in a text editor, do you find any references to the IP still? Those need updating too.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

I plan to do much the same as @jeffsayre is; that is, using the groups here for support and announcements.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

No, it’s an additional plugin. I’d expect it to be released sometime this week.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

I’m seeing the same as r-a-y

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

No need to cross post.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

WordPress loads the database from the setting in your Wp-config.php file. Once your new server or db is setup, just import a copy of your current db into it and update that config file.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

If you create a new group, you’ll have an option to create the forum. For existing groups, go into the admin settings for each, and you’ll have to check the box to enable the forum for that group.

The database tables are only created once when a
group has forum enable and someone visits its forum page.
