There is probably not a lot we can help with now you have started on the restore of backups path, that is the ultimate solution to issues and outside the realm of a single plugin so to speak.

Hard to comment with absolute certainty what may have happened when you deleted BP – or did you just deactivate it? A white screen is suggestive of perhaps wp still trying to load the bp default theme, but speculation now is largely irrelevant.

Not sure why your hosts failed to restore your site from backups, or how your WP blog posts entries could have gone missing, only thing I can suggest is that you go back to your host and establish what level of site domain backups they keep, you may need to restore your site to a date preceding your activation of BP, also have you taken any DB backups yourself through something like the hosting account cPanel or Plesk control panel, simply restoring a DB dump/backup from a moment before BP should restore all your WP site and data.

Sounds more like a question you should be addressing to bbpress support?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

styles and scripts are enqueued in a function run from the bp-default functions.php file

Mid way down this page explins the workings:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/

You can either call the function yourself in your child themes function.php file – which will override the running of the bp version – and then simply declare the files you want omitting the ones you don’t or you can go another route and de-register the responsive stylesheet.

The example I linked to above doesn’t actually show the responsive sheet as being declared so was probably written before that stylesheet was included so you may get away with copy pasting the function to your functions.php file.

However I would think rather than remove ‘responsive’ a better course of action is to id where the issue is happening first, as collapsing the sidebar doesn’t sound right and I wouldn’t have thought the responsive sheet would have done this.

Why? profiles is a fairly integral part of BP and of all the ‘parts’ or components profiles is the last I would think to remove. What actually is it you want t do perhaps it’s more specific? such as remove profile view for logged out users, there are various conditions you could place on profiles, do you want to prevent users changing their profile?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

`I read an article that buddypress is going to be discontinued, is this true?`
What article? where? point us to it please. BP is an open source project it can’t be ‘discontinued’ at worse development might cease but in an open source community anyone could pick up and continue development of it under the licence terms.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Yes it’s possible, code it up I’m sure many will be grateful.

These types of posts /threads should be made in ‘Requests & Feedback’ not in ‘How To & Troubleshooting’

Alternatively create a trac ticket marked as ‘enhancement’ or ‘feature’ and put the request there.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Address the member propagation issue to the plugin author.

Adding to core while a nice idea is likely not to happen – although you can suggest it to the core devs – with a plugin working as well as it does it fulfils the need and WP/BP is intended to be extensible in this fashion.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

You’ve changed ‘uploads to ‘media’ or ‘wp-content’ to ‘media’ either way I’m not sure if BuddyPress checks for defined constants for paths set in wp-config or wp-settings you would have to check through the core files to see how paths are handled.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Helps if you clarify the word ‘broken’ as it implies the core functionality to create groups isn’t working yet you then say you think it might be a missing div which is a broken layout, a slightly different matter.

One quick check you ought to make is to revert to the standard BP-default theme and see if groups work ok , then you know if it’s a theme issue which helps narrow things down.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

The issue is the index.php in the permalink structure ‘almost pretty permalinks’? why have got that there are you on a winblows server or something (never can remember the circs that force the index.php)

However there have been posts on this subject in the past so do try a search to see if you can locate any that may help.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

No it won’t always be desired, I agree, also though it’s not a huge issue and not semantically wrong, also it’s not necessarily bloat. If you wanted to be more select about things guess you could test for the field name and if a field you definitely didn’t want tags around then run the strip_tags. It’s a difficult issue to juggle really.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

there is a reason tags are added as the field is a generic one that could be a textarea description that has been entered by user along with line breaks so adding the WP filter wpautop ensures line breaks are converted to semantic elements not nasty br tags.

I don’t suggest this as an utterly reliabal approach or even correct one in WP terms but you could do:

`echo strip_tags( bp_get_the_profile_field_value() )`

Likely what you really need to look for is whether there is some filter you can hook into but that’s a lot of work for something that should be a matter requiring no effort really.

Had a quick look through bp-xprofile-template.php to see where the tags originate from but they don’t appear in those functions above.

but in bp-xprofile-filters.php we have:
`add_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘wpautop’ );`

So you need to reverse that filter for auto adding P tags from your functions file.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

What exactly are you having trouble with? or are you looking for a developer to pay to get some work done for you?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

‘Tags’ are added by users it’s their decision to do so not WP support to run a specific support area for BP, in other words there aren’t support forums in two places really, it’s just unfortunate that people would ask BP specific question on WP support when this dedicated site exists.

Ok scrub my comments, WP does what bp does here for plugin support, so Yes! it is unfortunate that two places exist to support one entity.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

The code is really really old! BuddyPress has been moving on apace through major revisions since JJJ made this post two years ago – old code examples are very unlikely to to be relevent to latest BP releases due to so much core code changing.

Your best bet is to read the codex and perhaps have a look at the BP skeleton component.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Yep definitely cool which is why people have written plugins to do this I guess , I’m currently in the process of a major update of mine ‘bp-user-profile-map’ to include options for rendering maps in group member loops and member dir loops as well as other config options for display plus function calls and shortcodes, hoping to complete some time early next week. but check the plugins section here for the available plugins.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

You will probably need to describe the exact steps you are taking in order for anyone to be able to help further. Are you sure you have completed all required entries, not left something out when trying to create those checkboxes?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Have you set / defined what blog is actually running BP? i.e defined it in wp-config. It sounds a bit to me as though you are trying to run two BP installs?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

need it now or at least need bp_reset()

So trying to run three separate bp_has_groups() is not possible on the same page as I’m finding, although starting to think that the approach is flawed to getting what’s required though.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 2 months ago]

What would be nice is to be able to run multiple loops without the last overriding the previous loop parameters, but wondering now if multiple loops is actually logical.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Guessing this is highly inconvenient and awkward for a whole lot of BP users that aren’t able to run localhost dev sites.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

@djpaul my reference was based on a 1.3 install which shows the title tag for dir pages as ‘Directory | the-site-name whether activity dir or members etc, not sure why hadn’t time to look at it in depth, is your fix just on testbp.org or in trunk -in which case I should be picking it up on my install.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

@mercime and you think there would be any point? The two tickets state their intractable positions. Personally I care little, I don’t ever use this function of WP, I don’t like these functions, they always feel like a security issue waiting to happen.

I suspect that WP devs could fix this, but far be it for someone as insignificant as myself to suggest so.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Read the ticket though, doesn’t appear that anything will be done about it it is perhaps a BP problem really as BP pulled it’s theme out of the normal WP theme directory where it was originally and should have stayed! WP may have changed things but doesn’t sounds as though it will change it back, tickets 4 months old! so you’ll have to edit locally for the moment, which is far better anyway.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

@pcwriter

It does to the extent that a browser constructs history from page metadata that is supplied by the title tag BP uses the function bp_page_title to add metacontent in my 1.3 install all the dir component pages return ‘Directory | Site Name’ so this might be a failing of BP and needs to be looked into as these tags are important and haven’t had the attention they needed in the past (think things were addressed recently iirc?)

@frizzo if you believe this is incorrect behavior please test it out and prepare a brief outline of the issue and raise a ticket on the BP trac system (using your BP login) this way things will be looked at, asking a question here will likely not resolve anything. It helps the project the more people test and raise issues reporting then to the ticket system.
