In reply to: SignUp PHP inactive
Not sure why you’re attempting to edit the bp-core-signup.php file. This is something you should not be doing!
First, did you enable registration on your BuddyPress site?
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/specific-faqs/#registerWhere are you seeing this “inactive” string?
In reply to: Some basic questions….1) Yes, this is possible via this plugin – http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect
2) Yup, BP offers profiles with avatar uploading / cropping.
3) By P2P, I believe you mean the activity stream. You can disable that in the admin area.
4) It depends what you mean by “simple forum”. The forums in BuddyPress do not offer a universal backend to administrate topics. Also, an important distinction you need to know is BuddyPress uses a concept known as “groups”. You need to create a group before you can enable a forum. This is similar to way Facebook works with fan pages. If you need a traditional forum (with forum categories, admin interface), stick to your bbPress install.If you just want profiles, you can enable just the profiles component and turn off the rest.
The fundamental difference between BuddyPress and bbPress is this:
-bbPress is a forum
-BuddyPress is a social networking scriptI believe it’s possible to have extended profiles and avatars on your bbPress install as well. There should be a few plugins out there that does the job.
Re: future of bbPress – it’s pretty much confirmed that bbPress will become a WordPress plugin some time late this year (in fact, work has begun!). Standalone bbPress will cease to exist. However, there are plans to provide backwards compatibility to the new plugin via an import script.
You must have changed the following in your theme:
/activity/index.php
/activity/activity-loop.php
/activity/entry.phpMake a backup of these files.
Next, copy the same files from the /plugins/buddypress/bp-default/ directory to your theme and see what happens.In reply to: bp_has_groups() HelpUpdated the codex to bp_has_groups().
In reply to: No create a group buttonThe create group link exists on the group directory page:
http://anothera.net/v2/groups/I guess this is a usability bug, you could manually add a create a group button by modifying your BP theme.
You can ignore notices for the most part; it’s something the BP core dev team needs to clean up, but won’t affect the functionality of BP.
I believe you have WP_DEBUG defined in wp-config.php, if you do, uncomment that line.
In reply to: Community Blog – does it work?Try the BP Groupblog plugin instead:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/It’s been awhile since I’ve used BP Community Blog (back in the ol’ BP 1.0 days), but I believe it allows you to give a group access to an existing blog to post at. This wouldn’t be on the BP frontend. It’s more of a WP admin thing. Just glanced the code a bit, and I *think* the code should still hold up…
In reply to: Buddypress followers pluginIt has to be this:
bp_follow_total_follow_counts( array( ‘user_id’ => $id ) );
Change $id to whatever.
In reply to: Add Buddypress to WordPress BlogYou don’t need the BP Template Pack if you’re doing this.
What you’ll need to do is:
1) Deactivate the BP Template Pack plugin.
2) Activate the BuddyPress Default theme on your blog.
3) Setup WP 3.0 in network mode as a subdirectory install.
4) Create a new user blog and activate whatever theme you want on this new blog.In reply to: “Change avatar” page redirects to home pageIs your server running on IIS?
In reply to: If BP is enable conditional tagUse:
if (defined(‘BP_VERSION’ ) { your code here;}
else { your non-bp code here;}In reply to: group default avatarUpdated the code to work with group avatars on the forum directory page:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/group-default-avatar/?topic_page=1&num=15#post-45769In reply to: Group AdministrationTry Boone’s BP Group Management Plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/In reply to: Activity Replies: Too much indentationA way around this is to try and add a CSS class to each level of a comment, that way it would be possible to clear the offending threaded level to the next line. However such a CSS class doesn’t exist.

Also, I spent some time looking at making activity comments flat instead of threaded. Recursive = headache!
It’s possible to remove the “reply” link in activity comments via CSS, that way future activity updates are flat. But previous activity comments would still be threaded.
In reply to: bp-group-calendar – not updating group activityWould be interested to see this code, as well as Derek’s changes to it.
I hate what WPMU-Dev did to the free plugins section on their site. Luckily, most of all the good WPMU plugins are now hosted on wordpress.org!
In reply to: Search ActivityFirst you’ll need to add an additional option to the BP dropdown select menu for “activity”.
Check out the “bp_search_form_type_select” filter in bp_search_form_type_select() (located in bp-core-templatetags.php) to add your own.Then you’ll need to modify the bp_ajax_querystring so it adds the search_terms parameter as Andy has stated above.
Check out the “bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring” filter in the bp-default theme’s /_inc/ajax.php.In reply to: Sending Mass PM as admin possible?@rossagrant, @askewz – Read this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/send-mass-email/#post-49648This doesn’t hook into the notices section though. It’s a separate admin page.
I might look at creating a plugin to use BP’s native notices section so it’ll send out an email.
In reply to: Activity page has to be refreshed when changing tabsI’m guessing there’s a javascript conflict.
Check your browser’s error console to see if any JS errors pop up.
In reply to: How does WordPress/Buddypress work?Oops… sorry the “My Blogs” menu only shows up if you’re using network mode in WP 3.0! This isn’t necessary unless you want to allow your users to create independent blogs on your site. Sorry for the crummy advice there!
You can always visit the dashboard manually by going to:
example.com/wp-admin/You can also customize the BuddyBar to include a link to the dashboard manually as well.
In reply to: No registration availableIn reply to: Useful plugins requiredFor #2, you could create a profile field for a user to input their existing blog URL. But this would only be a link to that person’s blog.
I’m guessing you want to import a user’s external blog based solely on the blog URL; this isn’t possible. However, something could be done with a blog’s RSS feed, though like I said before such a plugin doesn’t currently exist (that I’m aware of!).
In reply to: Plugin that allows members to add their own URLHi profitsbuzz,
Please do not create a new topic when you have another one that you recently created:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/useful-plugins-required/Post your responses in the link provided.
Thanks!
Just tried to register on your site and I get a white screen after hitting submit.
Please deactivate any plugins other than BuddyPress (if you haven’t done so already).Are you able to access your server’s error log? If so, there is most likely a message in there. It would help if you could paste the contents of this log here.

Also you say you upgraded to WordPress 3.0. Do you experience the login issue you noted in point #3 with BuddyPress deactivated?
Hi Derek, I don’t intend on being mean, but this is now the fourth separate thread you have created about this:

In reply to: page not found errors@jace0228 – Cool! Glad this works. You’re the second person to confirm the fix.
Here’s the fix bundled into a quick plugin:
http://buddypress.pastebin.com/download.php?i=S8e3t2Se (updated July 24th, forgot to wrap a !function_exists call around the function)Save as a PHP file and add it to /wp-content/mu-plugins/ or add it to the regular plugins directory and activate network-wide.
