There are 3 core developers; John James Jacoby, Boone Gorges, and myself. We all read and reply on the forums, but we also have a team of forum moderators who have excellent BuddyPress knowledge: hnla, r-a-y, and mercime. There are many others who regularly help out on the forum. Not everyone knows everything, and if the question is extremely technical or is a “build X feature for me” post, then that person might skip over that forum topic — which is fine.

Stepping outside the forums, we have a lot of contributions from people writing tutorials, talking about BuddyPress at WordCamps and local meet up groups, people writing patches, writing BuddyPress plugins and themes, submitting/managing bug reports and enhancement ideas, writing and improving documentation on the BuddyPress Codex, writing translations, helping other users in real-time in our IRC channel… and there are probably other areas that I’ve overlooked.

Lots of people are involved with BuddyPress. Everyone can be involved with BuddyPress. And someone will get to your question as soon as possible; if no-one does, feel free to post a reply on it to bump it to the top of the list after a couple of days.

On multisite, all user registration is tunnelled through the same place. This is a standard WordPress behaviour. So yes, they’d see the BuddyPress registration templates.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Yes. Just put them into your theme, as you would on any WordPress-powered site.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

No, you can’t override those functions, but they all have actions and filters which you should be able to use to handle their outputs.

This is really not easy to change. The options for the date field are generated deep inside the bp_get_the_profile_field_options() function, right near the bottom of it:

`for ( $i = 2037; $i > 1901; $i– )`

I would suggest you use the ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox’ filter and manually strip out the OPTION fields that you don’t want.

Because no-one’s built one. That’s not a great answer because the question isn’t very specific.

BuddyPress 1.6 has better SEO built in, so hopefully that will go someway to address your concerns.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Would the ‘private’ group type work for you? It’s not trivial (or maybe even possible) to add a new type of group privacy without serious work.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

If you only want sitewide forums (not group forums as well):

In wp-admin in BuddyPress > Components, disable the “Forums” component. Go to the Pages menu in wp-admin, and if you have a page called “forums”, delete it (you don’t need it any more).
In wp-admin, go to Plugins > Add New, and search for and install and activate the “bbPress” plugin. You should see something like version 2.1 of that plugin.

Once done, you should be able to start using bbPress for sitewide forums. If you have specific questions about how to make bbPress do non-BuddyPress things, the best place to ask is on bbpress.org.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

@johnjamesjacoby Have you seen this issue with bbPress 2.1 before?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Sure. If we haven’t a ticket on trac already, by all means add one

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

> I tried Buddypress User Account Type Lite plug in. But it doesnt work either. Nothing is capable of overwriting Buddypress default user capabilities
This is possible in 1.6. It’s by no means finished or easy to do, but it’s our first step.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

And yes, it’s pretty wet here — though very dry compared to the rest of the country, where flash floods keep happening.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Both bbPress + BuddyPress dev teams wanted to do more integration, but basically ran out of time to get into the 2.1/1.6 releases, respectively. I think multiple forums, or sharing the same forum across multiple groups, and updating the BuddyPress admin screens to remove mention to the old ‘group forums’, are examples of this thing. We’ll get them in future versions.

If you’re asking why bbPress 2 hasn’t been integrated into Groups until now, but that bbPress 1.x was, it’s simply because bbPresss 2 is a new plugin. We’ve had the old bbPress 1.x integration into Groups for at least 3 years now.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks for the feedback, and thank you for testing!

I’m sure someone will create a plugin to do this very soon

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Technically, it’s the other way around: bbPress 2.1 supports BuddyPress for Group Forums (but **only** if you deactivate the Group Forums component).

You can use the bbPress 1.1 convertor that comes with bbPress 2 (it’s under the Tools menu) to move your content from old bbPress to new bbPress.

If the forum doesn’t appear in the BuddyPress group, it’s probably best to feed this back to the bbPress team on the bbpress.org forums.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

No. But reality one should give way to another.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Fact: BuddyPress does NOT copy the site administrator in on all emails that are sent out. So it’s something on your site.

How are you creating user accounts? As usual, through WordPress, or do you have an LDAP integration or something exotic? Have you confirmed (by looking in the wp_users table) that the email addresses are actually different (not meant to be a stupid question)?

I would ask how your host moved the database/site across, but you probably don’t have the details to hand. I asked because while I haven’t seen emails get messed up, I’ve seen site URLs and permalinks break. Does all regular WordPress content on the site seem to work?

What company provide your hosting?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Sharing user databases across multiple separate installs of WordPress can be complicated. I wouldn’t recommend for this purpose. I’m not sure BuddyPress even works in this configuration — it might, I’ve never tried.

If you want to try, check out this section of the WordPress codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Custom_User_and_Usermeta_Tables

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

All you need is in that first line. Let’s break it down:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘apiServiceException’ with message
‘Error calling https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/108328961616806242196/activities/public?maxResults=5&alt=

json: (403) Daily Limit Exceeded. Please sign up’

in /home/wolf/public_html/wp-content/plugins/google/lib/external/google/io/apiREST.php:99

Going backwards, the error is coming from the wp-content/plugins/google/ plugin, and specifically the error returned is “Daily Limit Exceeded”. Looks like you need to sign up or otherwise increase your rate limit for whichever Google API you are using.
Also, assuming this Google plugin is actually https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google/, you should be able to use WPMUDEV’s support forums if you need further assistance resolving this.

Hi. Can you make a new topic please, and detail what help you need? This topic hadn’t had a reply for almost two and half years, so I’m not very surprised that the old instructions may not work anymore. Thanks.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

You need to first look in your web server’s PHP error log, and see what it says.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

If you’re certain that you’re receiving new members’ BuddyPress-generated emails, my guess would be you have something affecting how emails are sent.

Are you running any plugins or custom code that affects sending email, appearance of emails, etc, anything? Finally, how did you move your site from Dev to production. Did you copy the DB across, too?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

BuddyPress is and always will be free.
