We don’t change the privacy setting on each individual item when you change the group’s privacy settings. It’s complicated. Check out these trac tickets:

Yes, there have been changes to the theme in 1.6. If I recall, they’re pretty minor. I’ll make sure we details what’s new once we get a changelog written up.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

It’s probably a memory error. Look in your web server’s error log (or ask your host) and look for messages that say things like “out of memory”. If so, read https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

If it’s a different message, it should give you some clues, or copy/paste it here for further help.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

It’s possible that group forums don’t work multi-network. I’ve never tried it.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

BP-Default has never supported post formats, mainly because no-one’s ever contributed a good patch. There were efforts made for the 1.5 release, but it needed much more iteration, and that never got done.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Friends should. On these blogs — is the Privacy setting set to public or private? i.e. this screen https://codex.wordpress.org/File:options-privacy.png

They need to be public (‘allow search engines to index this site’) for it to be shared in activity.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Resurrecting a 1.4 year old post is not usually the best way to go about it. Please create a new thread and explain how you’d want this feature to work.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

1) Disable user registration in WordPress, and create user accounts manually via the wp-admin screens.

2) This is default WordPress multisite behaviour.

3) You will need some kind of front-end posting form for your theme(s).

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

No, it’s not (out of the box, anyway).

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

bbPress 1 or 2 (aka group forums or site wide forums)?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Sounds like you’re might have found a bug. Please would you make a report on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org ? thanks

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

There’s a BP Followers plugin available on the WordPress.org plugin directory.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

On your site or this one?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

That’s a bit off topic for this thread, but BuddyPress does not use custom post types.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

No, not in 1.5. We’ve added a ‘bp_moderator’ capability into 1.6. It basically replaced all the is_super_admin() checks. I don’t know if we ever finished implementing.

You could grant certain users the bp_moderator capability and test it.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Sorry, I was up late: BuddyPress.svn.WordPress.org

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Ok. Before we play on your test server you need to contact your host and ask if you have SSH access to use a terminal. In the interim, we can try the concept out locally on your Mac.

How familiar are you with using the Terminal app? (it’s in Applications > Utilities) If not very, you’ll have to do some Googling to figure things out.

Open the Terminal app. Type these 2 commands:

cd ~/Desktop
svn co https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/trunk BuddyPress

That last command might take a couple of minutes. It’ll download a copy of BP trunk. Look at your desktop, and you’ll find a folder called “BuddyPress” containing… BP trunk

Then wait for the BuddyPress team to do a new update to trunk. Easiest way to do this is keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/log and remember what “Rev” it’s up to. When you spot an update, open Terminal again:

cd ~/Desktop/BuddyPress
svn up

“svn up” is an “update” command. It figures out what SVN revision your checkout of BuddyPress is on, compares that to the version on the server (it remembers what URL you fetched it from originally), and then downloads and applies any updates automatically.

This is the method I like doing on my servers, so maybe see if it works out for you.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

I can try to help with some basic SVN directions. Are you on a Mac or Windows or Linux?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Try

`add_filter( ‘xprofile_data_is_valid_field’, ‘pbd_admin_is_valid_field’, 10, 2 );`

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Do you upload files to your test site via FTP? Do you have SSH (terminal) access to it? Do you know how to use a terminal to log into another server?

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

For that, you’re best to ask on the http://bbpress.org forums.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Your best bet is to ask on bbpress.org or search for bbPress plugins on the WordPress.org directory.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Go to the Components screen, and disable the Forums component.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

Same directory where images are stored for the media library, in a subdirectory called “Avatars”.

[@djpaul Keymaster 14 years, 4 months ago]

User registration also has to be enabled in WordPress for this to work, too. (via Settings > General, in wp-admin)
