This is what happens when Open Graph markup is not on a web page. You’re right to try plugins that provide Open Graph for WordPress, but I’m not aware of any plugins that provide Open Graph for the BuddyPress-specific pages.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 11 months ago]

If a plugin doesn’t work, you need to contact its author for support. You’ll be glad to learn we’ve added this into the 1.7 version of BuddyPress (which is still in development) so it will help in future.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 11 months ago]

Codex pages can be created through wp-admin, like any WordPress site: https://codex.buddypress.org/wp-admin/

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks for your comments and interesting discussion so far. If it feels that BuddyPress is evolving quickly; great! I’d to point out some numbers about how long the last few releases took:

1.2 – 1.5 = ~18 months
1.5 – 1.6 = ~9 months
1.6 – 1.7 (what we’re building now) = ~3 months so far.

We would like to eventually have around 3 major versions of BuddyPress out every year; we need to speed up and attract new contributors to achieve this. I don’t think the frequency of releases has any direct correlation to the quality or quantity of articles on the Codex.

If anyone would like to group together and work on the codex in a co-ordinated way, we’d love that. Let us know what we can do to help.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 11 months ago]

Technically possible. They’d be 3 separate items; this would fragment the discussion, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 11 months ago]

Right, bbPress 2

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 11 months ago]

Nope.

I moved your code onto pastebin.com so it was easier to read

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 12 months ago]

Definitely never edit core files.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 12 months ago]

We’ve some updates coming soon.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 12 months ago]

It’s a custom theme; and, no, it’s not available.

[@djpaul Keymaster 13 years, 12 months ago]

The old wire component was removed years ago

Closing topic as >2 years old and new reply is different.

It’s possible to run multi-network BuddyPress sites (one BP instance per network), but not one BP per multi-site.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

You’re right that BP is a plugin, but we don’t really take over any of WordPress. We extend some parts of features found in WP — for example, user profiles — but we don’t take anything away. BP and other plugins work together fine.

Was there a particular concern you had?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

drrxa: no, if you call those functions twice, the content will be duplicated.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

If you have run into a bug with BuddyPress, it may still prevent a successful upgrade. Anything lower than 6066 should do it (e.g. 6065); the upgrade nag should appear again in wp-admin. Backup first. Good luck

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

I’ve come across the Tamriel Foundry by chance one day, so pleased to learn it’s BuddyPress powered

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Create a ticket on trac, please. You’ve found a bug

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Baffling.

We could either lower your version number, so BP would re-run the update (I have no idea if this would have any other consequence), or add the missing column in manually:

Add a new column to the wp_bp_activity table:

name: is_spam
type: tinyint(1)
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0

Then add a new index key:
KEY is_spam (is_spam)

Before you do this, find a way to trigger the SQL error in your log. Then modify the DB table, and then try to trigger the SQL error. Hopefully that’ll be fixed, and then we can see if it affects your activity posting error. Make sure you backup your database first

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Yes, WP + BP users are the same. Yes to WP/BP profile data in different places.

As I’ve said in another thread of yours, admins can edit all BuddyPress information from the front-end of your site. The codex is probably as good as it gets unless someone’s written a blog post, or if you can find an old post on this forum.

It’s split like this because BuddyPress’ profile system is more powerful and therefore complicated than WordPress’, and it wasn’t possible to use the WordPress database tables for BuddyPress profile data.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

I’m not aware of any existing plugins that do CSV import for BuddyPress profile information, or any that do BuddyPress profile export. If you’re just looking to import WordPress user data, there might be something on the WordPress.org plugins directory.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Wondering if WDS = WebDev Studios (http://webdevstudios.com). Error pops up a lot in Google.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Admin users can already change any users’ profile data via the front-end, not wp-admin. We’re building out screens in wp-admin; in 1.6, we added an Activity admin area, and in 1.7, we’re introducing groups. It’s not as quick or easy as “add it to the WordPress user profile admin”.
