Yup, there’s a way without using a plugin if you’re using WPMU.

If you’re using WPMU, login to the WPMU admin dashboard, navigate to “Site Admin > Options” and change the site admin email to something else.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Ahh okay, Erich! Thanks for the extra details.

It could be an issue with the email address that the activation email is sending from.

By default, the activation email tries to use the admin email option in WPMU.

If that isn’t set, it uses something like:

noreply@domain.com.

Which could be causing the activation email to go to the spam folder.

Try using the following plugin to set the email address:

@hotforwords

I don’t have a file named config.php in the plugin that has the lines you posted above.

The next release (which I’ve been teasing for awhile now) will allow you to customize the size in the activity stream, and hopefully the activity permalink page.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Try putting the code in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php.

I should add that this code is kind of a hack until BP adds some functionality to detect WP setups in subdirectories.

Also just wanted to add that this issue could already be fixed in BP 1.3 trunk due to the way BP now uses actual wordpress pages instead of a catch URI check.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

If you’re using Thesis as the parent theme, you’ll have to enable BP support for your theme.

Two options:

1) Use the BP Template Pack plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

2) Manually add BP support to your theme.

thekmen has added BP support to a child theme of the Hybrid framework:

Try this:

FYI, I wouldn’t call this a Trac issue.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

There are no instructions I’m afraid. You have to dive into the BuddyPress code.

Just looked at the plugin, here’s some sample code:

add_action('bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', 'display_recaptcha', 9999);

add_action('bp_signup_validate', 'check_recaptcha_bp');

You’ll have to write your own validation function for BP. I’ve called the new function check_recaptcha_bp(), but you can call it whatever.

For more info, look at buddypress/bp-core-signup.php, I’ve given you the tools needed to walk, now run with it

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

What are you trying to do exactly?

Are you trying to modify the BP registration page?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

@warut

Don’t use STYLESHEETPATH, use locate_template().

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Looks like you’re attempting to use a BP 1.1 theme with BP 1.2.

You might have some luck with using the BP Backwards Compatibility plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-backwards-compatibility/

But I’m not sure.

If that doesn’t work, you might want to develop a new child theme off the new BP default theme.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

FYI – Buddypress Template Pack plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

techguy’s got the right idea.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

That’s correct it is a 10-minute job if you know how. Didn’t mean to sound elitist.

If you can notify the plugin author, some of us on the forums can point him in the right direction.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

It’s not a code thing, Dainismichel.

If it was a code thing I would have posted it.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again… an external install of bbPress (which is what you want) has absolutely nothing to do with the BuddyPress admin area. It’s between WordPress and bbPress.

Numerous others (me included) have given you the correct procedural steps to integrate an external install of bbPress. Furthermore, lots of people have come into these forums and have successfully integrated an external bbPress install properly. You’re basically looking at the instructions and interpreting them differently.

Granted, as we’re not all technical writers like you are, our instructions might not be as clear as you want them to be, however we are trying our best!

Without hand-holding, we can’t physically do this for you.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

BuddyPress.org uses gravatars for avatars.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

The best way to figure these things out is to look at how the default BP system does it~!

Look at how friendship notifications are made in bp-friends.php and bp-friends-notifications.php

1) Create a function that contains the bp_core_add_notification() and hook it into a particular BP action.

You probably did not hook your custom function to any BP action, that’s why it isn’t doing anything.

2) Format the notification.

Here, you create a new function that formats the notification. You will use the $component_action you defined in your custom function from bp_core_add_notification(). You will hook this new function into the core component’s notification function.

Look at friends_format_notifications() in bp-friends.php for more info.

3) Delete the notification.

You’ll probably want to delete the notification when someone has viewed it!

Create a function with one of the notification delete functions in bp-core-notifications.php and hook it to a BP action.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

This is an old thread.

Basically, the WP-reCAPTCHA plugin needs to hook into the BP registration page actions for it to work.

It’s a 10-minute job at most.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

In your child theme’s header.php, there should be a function called wp_list_pages(), move that to the beginning before the BP list items.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

First you’d need to find the template tag to output the custom role from the Members plugin (I’m assuming you already know this!), then in your child theme, copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum/topic.php (keeping the directory structure intact) and add your Members template tag there.

You can also modify the look and feel for your forum topics now as well.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

You’ll have to modify the theme’s stylesheet.

Hopefully, you’ve already created a child theme, then you can override the background in your child theme’s style.css with:

eg.

body {background:url(URL TO YOUR IMAGE) no-repeat !important;}

I also believe that SEO isn’t important for social networks (besides the frontpage!).
