It depends if you want your users to have individual blogs (like WordPress.com).

If not, stick with standard WP and give your new users a role of Contributor or higher so they can post on your WP site.

Hey Erich,

That plugin you listed is considered “deprecated” by Boone.

He’s now working with David on the Group Activity Stream subscription plugin.

Yup, Andrea and Ron are a dependable one-two duo!

I bet I know who that *other* premium company is

You can manually add video sites if you know a little code:

My plan is to create a new plugin that will offer support for more 3rd party sites.

I might make Youku one of them; though you can sway me over with a donation

Hi Amy,

Try what is outlined here:

Ahh I see now… yeah that’s intentional.

I thought you meant this:

Just tested this on a fresh install of WP 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.3.

It’s working for me.

Please try deactivating the plugin and deleting the plugin folder entirely, then re-download and activate the plugin again.

I need an example of the image URL you’re using for the main update and for the replies.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

I assume you’re talking about the oEmbed for BP plugin?

Adding a picture works great on the main activity feed but shows only the url on the profile page

This is the intention.

and the link does not work it seems cut off at the end.

This isn’t a problem with the plugin, but rather with the way BuddyPress parses text for the latest update.

Also replies to posts with pictures only show the url not the image

Works for me. Make sure you didn’t tamper with the bp-oembed-config.php file.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Haha, glad it worked!

I try to be a superhero

@dwenaus

I think it would make sense if there was a unified karma plugin. Forums are nice, but that’s only really one component of BP. I also know this means a lot more work on your part.

I don’t know what you have planned for blog post karma, but I’m guessing at some point, you’d need the thumbs up/down voting block across all blogs on a WPMU install, so it’d have to be a plugin that is activated site-wide or a plugin that resides in /wp-content/mu-plugins/. Unless you think that users should activate the plugin on certain blogs only.

Personally, I’d rather see activity karma than blog post karma, but that’s just me.

The bp_core_signup_user action is a BP action. Look at /bp-core/bp-core-signup.php for this function.

You could try enabling and disabling the forum component from “BuddyPress > Component setup” to see if that helps.

Also login to any group’s admin page and disable discussion forum, then re-enable it. Then try posting a forum topic.

Does that work?

For group-related stuff (including forums), check out the Group Activity Stream Subscription plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/

For latest posts, there is no specific BP plugin, but perhaps you can find a WP plugin that does the job?

You should have no problem if you create your child theme in /wp-content/themes/ and not /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes.

Hi James,

Use a language file to change the text.

This problem has been reported by sites running IIS.

Try this solution:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/seeing-page-not-found-on-activity-members-groups-blogs-tabs#post-46478

You could also try this patch:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2299

Or try this plugin as well (if you have ISAPI Rewrite 3.0 enabled on your IIS server):

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/isapi-rewriter/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 7 months ago]

Definitely not a BP issue.

There should be a WP plugin available for this. Have you tried browsing through the plugin repository?
