I suspect in future we’ll probably just link to WordPress.org.

We’ve seen your post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypresswp-users-how-does-it-work/ — there was no real need to bump this very old topic. Closing this topic in favour of the above.

If you’re still getting those SQL errors in the database, that’s the first thing we to figure out. Let’s see what version your BP thinks it is.

Please look in the wp_options table and find a record with option_name= ‘_bp_db_version’, and let me know what the option_value is. (For BP 1.6.1, it should be 6066).

It ought to be possible to edit your theme and take the menu calls out. The item-nav class is used in a few places, but if you do a find-in-files on your theme, you should be able to track down the correct one from the other markup nearby.

bp_has_members() support this. The codex is (probably) out of date. Probably best to read the code itself

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Interesting. Which plugin?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Use bp_has_members(). The BP_User_Query class is low level and handles querying the database; you probably don’t need to use it directly if you want to create a paginated users lists,

Regarding the WP_DEBUG errors. Have you recently upgraded to BuddyPress 1.6+? There was a schema change, and we added the is_spam column in the wp_bp_activity table, and your error message says that it doesn’t exist.

Can you look inside your WordPress admin area, and check that you’ve not got some pending update action? https://i.imgur.com/MseHC.png

In your WordPress admin area, there’s a “Activity” item in the main menu list. On this page, there’s a button to filter to view only spam posts, and if any have been marked as akismet, there’s a little label nearby that says “marked as spam by akismet” etc.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

You definitely need an Akismet API key; for most people, these are free, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Your WordPress install probably already has the Akismet plugin installed, but you can install it from the Plugins Directory if it’s missing.

bbPress gets that “for free” because it uses custom post types and therefore WordPress’ template hierarchy. Let me see what I can do for BuddyPress.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

BuddyPress all of the theme compatibility code that’s in bbPress. We’ve not left any of that out. I’m not sure what you mean.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Odd. akismet_test_mode() is a function provided by Akismet. I’ve just downloaded the Akismet plugin and it still exists, so.. maybe your BuddyPress was loading from your Akismet. I’ve not run into this before.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

What’s the ideal solution?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Not possible right now (the backend doesn’t support querying by dates). Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4428

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Those menus aren’t provided by BuddyPress, so it won’t work. Are you using the https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/ plugin, by chance?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

show_admin_bar() was introduced in WordPress 3.1. What version of WordPress do you have

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Not sure what you mean by “menu settings”. Can you clarify please?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Closing topic. Contact OP if you’re interested. Thanks!

No, messages are stored in the database table. Unless you want to explicitly delete your members’ content (and do you know which tables are the largest?), it sounds to me as if you’ve outgrown your curret hosting and need to move to a host without the same limits.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

This isn’t the place for this discussion; talk of forks on this forum harms the perception of BuddyPress. There are many ways to contribute to BuddyPress and change things. We welcome any and all contributions. Splitting effort is not the answer.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Works fine in local environments. I personally use MAMP. You didn’t say what the error that you’re getting was?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

Almost certainly a quirk of how the Facebook plugin is creating a user accounts. What Facebook authentication plugin are you using?
