Sure. Now tell us why.

Well, no. I said that your comment about parasitism was ridiculous. When we discuss things, and have differing viewpoints about an issue, as adults, we are free to attack the arguments people make. That is an entirely different thing from attacking the person. If I say that your argument is ridiculous, and you turn around and say […]

If you can’t tell the conceptual difference between a forum and social network, this discussion is probably wasted on you. Every time I interact with you, you immediately start insulting me. If you can’t make your points clearly without belittling your interlocutor right out of the gate, it’s hard to take those points seriously. Perhaps it’s […]

Buddypress could be a next generation social network because it would be more content-centric, thanks to its WordPress roots. Forums only distract from what could be a very logical conceptual approach. This doesn’t even make sense to me. ‘Groups’ are a ‘killer app’? ‘Next generation social network’ because it’s ‘content-centric’? What on earth?…[Read more]

bbPress is a parasite that is killing Buddypress from within. Buddypress should have been a next-generation social network, instead it is becoming a messy backward forum/social network hybrid. That’s the single most ridiculous thing I’ve read on this forum yet. Yes, it’s a forum. It’s a pretty crappy feature-light forum, one with…[Read more]

Use the search before posting. There are literally dozens of threads about this common problem.

Not sure what you mean by ‘unpublish’ exactly in the BP context. I would guess that the best thing to do would be to use the WP(MU) dashboard to change their user role to ‘Inactive’ or ‘Blocked’. Fake edit: Testing that, because your question made me curious, though, shows unexpected behaviour. I changed a user […]

Yeah, I’d say that because Buddypress is a bit kitchen-sinky, in my experience it’s a good idea to think about what kind of community you’re going to try and build (or move to BP), then think about what kind of functionality they might want, then how to build it, then look at plugins or code snippets […]

You’ll need to create a child theme. Copy over the files you want to change from bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single, preserving directorioes, and edit home.php and whatever else you like appropriately. I would use the language file to rename your Forum tab to Home, but that’s not really necessary if you’re not going to make global changes. Just […]

I’d just go into the MySQL database for the old one with PHPMyAdmin or whatever tool you use for a MySQL GUI and export table by table, then import to the corresponding bbPress tables in Buddypress. You’ll need to hand-edit some stuff in the meta tables and generally mess around, but I’ve done it a […]

: “is they’re any way you can edit it through a text editor rather than dashboard. Or is there any known way of how to solve this problem” I tire of trying to parse through the mangled English we see here sometimes to tease out intended meaning. Also, I believe the question was edited since first […]

I’d say that the last thing BP needs is yet another layer of abstraction on top of actual user interaction. Just use tags! The forums view ajax autofilters to tag view when you click on one, and you could quite easily create a dropdown list to limit the tags available to the users rather than […]

I’ve never been able to get jjj’s plugin to work.

@firetag — as I talked about here, I’m really keen to have something to start from to get this going. Would much appreciate anything you can share to help!

For front-end guys like me, it’s easier to see basic working examples than try to look over the code of complex plugins to pick out the relevant code. @agrundner Definitely. Like many hobbyist coders, I can take sample code or something and modify it to my needs most of the time, but without the cloud being seeded, […]
