Check to make sure your CSS validates before you jump too far down that rabbit hole.

if you want to customize the page, you can copy down the /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/messages down to your own theme (put it in /themes/yourtheme/members/single/messages ) and edit away.

ipstenu posted on the forum topic Dynamic Admin Bar Link – Can't find answer anywhere in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

If you’re talking about the buddybar, read this: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

If you’re talking about the WordPress 3.0 admin bar, that’s different.

In either case, you want this code: groups_is_user_member( $user_id, $group_id ) 🙂

ipstenu posted on the forum topic Has Anyone Tried This Spammer-Blocking Plugin with Buddypress? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

I have it on my setup right now. I’m not sure that it’s doing anything for BP, to be honest, but I also don’t know how to check 😉 I looked at the plugin page on my wp-admin side and it’s all ./wp-comments-post.php down the board.

Cookies for Comments works, though.

Apparently there are some known problems with BuddyPress and “almost pretty” permalinks like index.php/whatevers. @djpaul was looking into it last year, and IIRC his quick ‘hack’ was to pull index.php from the permalinks and use .htaccess to work around it. Though I don’t know what your .htaccess would look like for that 🙁

Twitter Tools will do your blog posts. Are you looking for that or something else that would tweet group posts?

You shuoldn’t need testbudy listed in there twice.

By having your BASE set to /testbuddy that SHOULD remove the need to have /testbuddy/index.php specified.
# BEGIN WordPress


RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /testbuddy/

RewriteRule ^index.php$ -

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Also posted here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-vs-buddypress-strategy?replies=3 where folks had some answers 🙂

MultiSite = Multiple blogs/sites
BuddyPress doesn’t require multisite and it’s not a vs strategy, and more of a ‘What are your needs”

BP plugins can certainly do what you want, but so can a custom post types, or…[Read more]

What plugins ARE you running?

Cookies for Comments, for example, can do this if your cookie is set wrong.

Stop making multiple posts.

If you do it in widgets, you could use something like widget_logic() and then check for something like if(bp_is_group_home())

These type of template tags can be found in /bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php so you can narrow it down as you need 🙂

ipstenu posted on the forum topic When you delete a member manually do all of their forum posts get deleted? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

What do you mean by deleted manually?

If you mark the account as a spammer, they can’t log in with that ID/email again. What’s the goal in deleting them?

ipstenu posted on the forum topic Cant delete updates on groups activity? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 6 months ago

Your theme may be hiding it, but on mine, I see a line

“Foobar posted an update in the group : 3 hours ago · updated 1 hour, 17 minutes ago · View · Delete”

Mark him as a bozo, on the backend of bbPress, or a spammer on the ack end of WordPress. Oughta do it…

Woopra might be able to do that.

FYI, I fixed mine by manually forcing into my theme files. Put it right above the actions.

It seems to work now. How did you fix it?
