Please don’t call out moderators for help. We give all the time we can.

What profile field group are the new profile fields in? Did you create a new profile group, or are the new fields in the default profile group?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

It’s a bug. We’ve got a ticket to fix it in BP 1.6.2

Nothing obvious springs to mind. Can you inspect the request that the AJAX makes when it posts a request in something like firebug, and show us what it’s sending?

Also. Try disabling javascript, then submitting an update. If it works, we know the javascript is playing up somewhere.

If you’ve added more BuddyPress profile fields, then it shouldn’t matter *how* a user account was created — they should appear for editing in the user’s profile.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years ago]

I’ve added a ticket to Trac to get a template function added for this: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4596

Patches welcome

Try passing user_id=0

It sets the user_id param from the displayer user’s ID.

If you disable the Group Forums component in BuddyPress, then go to the bbPress settings screen. Scroll right down to the bottom, and there are options about enabling BuddyPress group forum support. You can do this right now. I don’t know what the process is for mapping an (existing) forum to a particular group; might have to edit some metadata in the database to achieve this.

If you’ve got a dev site, maybe give this a try, and then follow up on bbpress.org for any specific problems you encounter. As @mercime hints at, it’s possible right now but not user friendly or bug-free yet.

There are bugs in this process at the moment if you try to do it on sites that have existing Group Forums data, which is why I asked.

I recommend against migrating from bbPress 2 to 1, because at some point, BP won’t ship with bbPress 1, and then you’ll have to move your content back to 2.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

I know you *want* it the other way around (which I am going to advise against in due course) but I need to know if you currently use Group Forums or have existing Group Forum content!

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

I’ve heard of people building this for their own sites, but I’ve not seen any plugins that offer this. But I haven’t search through wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ to check — have you?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

I think you’ll find that Disqus does actually require a connection to Facebook. You’ll have accepted a “Disqus app” from Facebook at some point.

You can have 1 BuddyPress per WordPress network (a standard multisite gives you one network). You need to enable it sitewide, and set up the configuration from the root blog (the blog with ID = 1).

You do not need to enable multiblog. I wish that setting didn’t exist.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

Do you currently use Group Forums or have content in Group Forums that you need to migrate to bbPress?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

Also make sure you’ve activated the plugin network-wide.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

There are many possible reasons. Have you confirmed that other emails sent by your website are being received correctly?

For example, do a password reset for your account. Is the email sent?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

If you’re going to re-open such an old topic without any new information — what emails that BuddyPress sends do you want to add attachments to? What’s the use case?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

No need to post a duplicate thread, so I’m closing this one.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

If you haven’t set a Custom Menu, by default, the Forums page only appears in the menu IF you’ve enabled Group Forums. If you haven’t, it won’t appear.

Similarly, register and activate never appear in the menu in the same situation. This is working how it’s intended.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

Not out of the box.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

Not aware of any, but you can search on wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

If they’re not letting you upgrade WordPress to the latest secure version, why do you consider your data safe? Find a better host.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

Sudeep; which host are you using?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

You should upgrade to the latest versions of both; even if you don’t care about new features, you’re missing out on important security fixes.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 1 month ago]

BuddyPress currently doesn’t make use of rewrite rules or query vars to handle its page routing. BP literally cuts up the URL, so it might see “state” as the name of a group. I can’t think of the best way to handle this at the moment.

I assume this filter affects the group directory. I think you’re right about poking in bp_uri; you need to unset the part of current_action (maybe?) so BP stops trying to load a group.
