BP doesn’t touch XMLRPC *at all*. It’s probably coincidence and will hopefully resolve itself whenever the route issue is fixed.

I have no experience with IIS so unable to help further; at least we proved it’s not the canonical redirects causing trouble.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

What custom code are you running? Anything in bp-custom.php if you have one? Or in your theme’s functions.php, or any utility plugins? Have you changed any BuddyPress core files at all?

In wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks, what are your Permalinks set to?
What does the URL of a blog post look like?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Thanks for confirming.

I’ve discovered BP 1.6.1 has a problem with topics not appearing in group forum lists when WP is set up to use a persistant object cache. I’m using the APC object cache plugin, and I’m 99% confident it’s occuring on one of our production memcached environments, too. Investigating.

We did add canonical redirections in BP 1.6. I don’t see why this would affect IIS and not, for example, Apache. To see if it was the canonical redirects, put this in your bp-custom.php file:

add_filter( ‘bp_do_redirect_canonical’, ‘__return_false’ );

If you don’t have a bp-custom.php file, see https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

Did you run the ‘update wizard’ after the upgrade? https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-6/upgrading-to-1-6/

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

What type of information? How does it relate to the activity? Or do you mean you want to know how to add different types of updates to the activity stream?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

If you’re running BP 1.6+, you don’t need Labs for activity stream spam. It’s built in to 1.6, and if you use Akisment, that will protect Activity stream spam, too.

What’s the URL of the group that you’re trying to go to?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

No. It’s not a theme, which is why it doesn’t show up.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

This block? http://cl.ly/image/1E0A2x2L0P0t

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

As you’re using bbPress 2, it’s best to ask for support on http://bbpress.org as there are more people over there who use that platform regularly. I’ve not heard or seen of anything like this.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

No. You’ll have to write some bespoke code.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Those members have to have logged in to your site since you’ve activated BuddyPress, before they’ll appear in BP member listings.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Reset his account password, log in with his account, go to private messages, and find/delete the one in question. It’s safer than fiddling in the database

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Not aware of any plugins that do this. It’s been mentioned before, but I haven’t seen anything good recently.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Adding the template fields is one thing, but you’d need to write a bunch of glue logic to handle saving and fetching the input to/from the WordPress profile.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

p.s. most of Welcome Pack won’t work if you disable activation emails.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

😮

Bulk delete? Uh. Maybe https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/ ?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using? Is this a clean database, or did you port it from the staging site? If so, was it upgraded from a previous BP build.

Are all other timestamps (e.g. on blog posts) correct? Is your timezone set in wp-admin Settings > General?
Do scheduled blog posts work as expected?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

If you put (any) plugin in mu-plugins, then it’s activated ALL THE TIME and you cannot disable the plugin.

I suggest you put BuddyPress into /plugins/, just in case you need to disable it in future

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Not aware of any good SEO plugins for BuddyPress.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

I don’t think what you describe with the pending comments notification is a bug. As you say, if a user has a certain level of permission on a blog, then they might have enough permission to moderate comments. I figure you can test this easily by bumping one of those users down to a subscriber or a contributor role and see if it goes away for them.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Right, I can’t see how this will ever be true:

`if ( !bp_current_action() AND bp_is_current_action( ‘home’ ) )`

If current action is set to ‘home’, then it won’t be false. It also doesn’t take into account BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION which was added in 1.5

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

I’m 99% the group widgets were something that was never fully? implemented, or the logic in the templates have always been incorrect. I’m not sure what the intention with them was.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Mercime’s pretty much right. There might be ways to use a custom post type with user meta, but revising the structure of the profile fields database tables isn’t a current priority.
