Something appears amiss with your urls, for example: http://www.ibonvivant.com/http:/www.ibonvivant.com/home

Try deactivating all of your plugins except for BuddyPress and see if it works.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Are you running the default BuddyPress theme from BP 1.2.5.2?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Yeah, that’s what I ended up doing.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Sorry, but I haven’t heard anything about it for a while. I believe the term you’re searching for is “Friend of a Friend” or, “FOAF”.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

You’ll be glad to hear that @bowromir is currently working on a very similar plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/add-external-rss-feed-instead-of-creating-new-blog

Here’s a tutorial showing how to changed the default activity tab: http://shabushabu.eu/reordering-buddypress-group-tabs/

Check the Sitewide Tags plugin.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Agh. I can’t understand anybody! I need to learn German now. Awesome BuddyPress theme though. I hope you use your skills and creativity to create more.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Yup, I experienced the same problem today for blog posts and discovered the culprit was W3 Cache as well. I didn’t narrow it down to db.php though. Thanks!

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

There’s a trac ticket for this that I opened a few months back: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2380

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Oh, I just came across this tonight: http://heavyanalytics.com/

Perhaps you could drop the developer a line and drop in some feature requests since he seems to still be coding it.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Hmm… I don’t know abut your second question regarding Google Analytics, but these 2 plugins are along the the lines of your first request. You’ll need to do some tweaking with them but the general gist is there:

Well currently if “User A” makes a status update and then “User B” replies to his update, “User A” receives a notification in his email inbox and sees what “User B” said. Currently, if “User A” wants to respond to “User B” he has to log back into the social network, find the update, and then type in the message.

It would be easier for a lot of mobile users instead to hit “reply” in their email inbox and then just type in their response and then click “submit”.

The more I think about it though, it seems like “reply-by-email” would actually be a separate plugin. It would be useful not only for mobile users but also regular computer users. Although I think it would help mobile users the most.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@modemlooper I seem to remember that at one time you were working on BuddiPhone. Was that simple a BuddyPress compatible theme or did it also include reply-by-email features?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Wow, that’ll be awesome!

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I host on RackSpace (Cloud Sites) this normally isn’t a problem ever. Do what Paul Gibbs suggests above and then increase the memory allocated for PHP by editing the wp-config.php: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

While I don’t have personal experience with Mingle, it makes sense that you should at least be able to migrate the userbase over. As for Private Messages, Friendships, etc. that sounds more like a job for a plugin.

Make sure though that before you do anything that you create a backup.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Here’s one to get you started:

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Ah good, cause that definitely is not happening on my site.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

While I don’t have any experience with Thesis, I’ve heard raving reviews about their customer support. Have you been able to check in their forums yet?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

+1

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

What version of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using?

Have you confirmed that your other admins are “Admins” or “Super Admins”?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

You’ll need to create a custom page template and then upload it to your theme folder. Then create a brand new page (.e.g “Welcome”) using that custom page template you created instead of the default page template provided by Fishbook. Then in your Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading you’ll need to set the front page option to the brand new page (e.g. “Welcome”) that you created and set your posts to show up on a different page called “Articles” or “News” or something else that you like.

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Also, have you visited a specific group’s admin panel and activated their forum?

[@paulhastings0 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Sounds like it would be a cool plugin. I know a lot of users who would appreciate something like that.
