Blog roles were removed because of performance:
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2394

In the interim, tell them to go to the WP dashboard, or you can try using a front-end posting plugin.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

You have to add a comma, see below:
exclude=2,'. bp_dtheme_page_on_front()

Well creating a network (basically MU) in WP 3.0 still requires that same deterrent-knowledge you speak of. Not everyone will be turning this on!
However, bringing this functionality to the masses also sheds light to the project and more developers will be able to contribute to the codebase.

I do agree with you about mass-communities! Not every community is going to be vibrant, but even those BP communities that have 10 active members is enough to warrant BP’s existence.

You should also know that there are a ton of low-quality “sucky” blogs because of WordPress, so what’s the difference if there are “sucky” communities because of BP?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

No repo yet (we’re still mobilizing!), but ping Rich on etivite.com.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

I’m in agreement with Rich because the activity stream is the main component in BP, so why not utilize it? (btw, sorry for not getting back to you, Rich!).

Custom post types are powerful; the next iteration of bbPress as a WordPress plugin will be powered in some way by custom post types, but that is still a long way out. You’d then have to factor in how this will all work with BP (more development time). I haven’t looked too much into custom post types yet, but aren’t custom posts still stored under wp_posts? If so, not great.

I’m going to be collaborating with Rich (Boone, you want to jump in?) to utilize the activity stream component into a dumbed-down version of a forum. It won’t be as feature-rich as bbPress et al., but it will be compatible with existing and future activity stream plugins, which to me, makes this worthwhile.

@mistercyril – Cool! I hope you’ll remember

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

@mistercyril – Add bp_is_directory() to the bp_is_register_page() line.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

@stuffsone

re: #1. Auto-joining a group when posting in a forum already exists by default! Try it out on your test install.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

Make sure that you’re referencing the right page ID? Also try other page IDs to see if wp_list_pages() is actually working.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

Are you able to access the WP admin area?

If not, disable every single plugin you have except for BP, then attempt to disable some BP components.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

@nig3d – What questions do you have? I’ll try to answer them. But it’s always best to dig through the code yourself to find out which functions do what.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

Here are some short answers to your questions:

1. A custom plugin is needed for this. Or you could use an auto group join plugin.

2. Could try modifying the group template in your child theme to add a forum loop.

3. Read this – https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

4. Requires a custom plugin. Look at the Groups API – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

5. What do you mean by this? Adding member information? If so, use BuddyPress’ xProfile setup located in the WordPress admin area.

6. You’ll have to code one yourself. There was an old plugin by Manoj Kumar that you could use as a reference point. Will need updating.

This is probably because you have a folder called “register” in the root of your website.

If you do not have anything under this folder, please delete it.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

If you’re using a child theme, simply edit header.php and modify the wp_list_pages() line with:

wp_list_pages( 'exclude=14' );

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

Just checked your pages and it’s showing up for me.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

You could try disabling a few BP components from the WP admin area. Login to the WP dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Component setup”. Disable features that you will not need.

The alternative is you could perhaps use a different WP social networking plugin like Mingle… that might use less memory.
Probably not what you wanted to hear!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

I wouldn’t use the same function across multiple filters… since each filter is different.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

You are always welcome to create your own default theme if you’re not pleased with the packaged one that comes with BuddyPress.
You’ll just have to spend more time creating your own theme!

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

@danfun – That is not a bug, but an intentional design layout; it’s supposed to mimic Twitter’s status permalinks.

eg. http://twitter.com/buddypressdev/status/11101736399

If you don’t like this, if you created a child theme, you can override the activity permalink in your child theme’s /members/single/activity/permalink.php.

@bplove – This idea has been requested before; I’m looking into this for a future version. The upcoming one will probably not support this though.

Did you have any BuddyPress plugins active when you deactivated BP the first time? Chances are that is what happened.

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

This question has been asked many times.
The plugin will be released simultaneously when BP 1.2.4 comes out.

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

Please don’t bump your own thread three hours after your initial post. 24 hours is a good duration before bumping again.

As for your question, set the WordPress default role to “Contributor” (https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_SubPanel) and the member should be able to post. Though your member will have to use the WordPress dashboard to post, unless you use a front-end posting plugin.
