I don’t know if it is exactly what you had in mind, but I’d like to see the ability to +1/Like/Vote up any particular content in Buddypress, so I submitted a feature request ticket.

With core functionality in Buddypress, it is simple enough to just point a URL at bp_get_groups_root_slug() plus whatever you want to append, and no matter where you have groups, it just works. And the example of this site is that forums is actually located in supporttopics. But for a new plugin, I’m not sure how to replicate the functionality for bp_get_FOO_root_slug()

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

I have, and I’ve got something close to that going on. But I don’t necessarily want the plugin hard-code that it has to go under members. It should just work wherever the page is placed, as I understand is the new standard with 1.5.

So if I assign the corresponding page as a child page of members, urls will work accordingly.

Okay, this has been driving me nuts all day. I finally discovered the problem.

WP Minify didn’t like buddybar.css which is odd, because it hasn’t broken the buddybar before today.

I added buddybar.css to WP Minify’s exclude list, and the problem went away.

I can’t my above post (edit always lead me to a 404 currently).

I just had a cached page. When I cleared cache, I now have a two-column layout. But I had to change:

Thanks for the help, but sadly the BP pages are still appearing as a single column, with the sidebar below the content. Here is an example:

I don’t think this is a problem with Buddypress, so much as any popular WordPress site. They will get plenty of spambots registering for accounts.

There are plenty of solutions including:

Captcha plugins like SI Captcha or WP-Recaptcha
Akismet
Bad Behavior
Etc,

However, the best solution is active moderation. And I’m guessing the crew that runs this site is also busy developing Buddypress, bbPress, etc. to spend a bunch of time moderating this site. Perhaps they should seek out volunteers to help moderate.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks. But apparently this only happens when you’re logged in. I think it is a problem with the buddybar.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

I’ve tested and I have this behavior with both bp-default and my current theme.

You can see exactly what I’m talking about by taking a look at any page on the site, including the front page.

To clarify, I’ve seen the documentation here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

But my theme template is fairly complex, and I’m not sure where to begin. I’d really appreciate some help.

Do you have permalinks working properly?

You may need to edit your .htaccess file

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

@cupid4 Sorry, I don’t run multi-site so I hadn’t tested for that.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

I’m not sure what plugin you used, or how it cost you $20.

The problem with code edits is that they’ll be overwritten when you update.

I use Theme My Login. It doesn’t cost a penny, and also makes your login/register pages look like your site instead of the generic WordPress login page. And you can control activation, etc.

There is also a premium plugin (you can sign-up for Buddydev.com for $30 and get access to lots of great Buddypress plugins and themes)

BuddyPress Auto Activate Auto Login

I’ll be testing it later tonight!

Different people will prefer different plugins, but I recommend this for photos and videos:

Sometimes questions don’t get answered immediately.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

With 1.5 just around the corner too.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Buddypress includes forums and blogs. But you have to run multisite for blogs.

There are plugins for video, photos, etc.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Out of the box, you can’t do this. But there is a plugin for that.

You can check the time stamps of the emails to get an idea of when the mailsender sent them. That might give you a better idea if it is your mailsender on the server, or something else delaying the emails.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

The email delay could be your mailsender, it could be the receiver, or anything in between. Most of the time email is relatively instant, except the times when it isn’t.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

I’m assuming atwebpages.com may be a free host, and they may not let you increase the php memory limit any more. You may need to look into another host, or disabling some plugins.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

The theme I’m using had Nivo baked in, and it was interfering with other jquery functions as well. I ripped all references to Nivo out of my theme, and also removed the redundant call to load jquery, especially given it was loading jquery-1.6.2 while WP was loading 1.6.1.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Theme My Login can do this, but you said preferably not a plugin. I don’t know another way to do it personally, but someone else may.

[@enderandrew Member 14 years, 10 months ago]

Also, are you expecting to see a nav menu option for Register? I don’t think you’ll get one by default, but the Login page should have a link to the Register page.
