Does it work with the default BuddyPress theme?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

You could use “@” replies for this. If you are looking for a rating-type of thing, then try googling “rating” or “poll” plugins.

Troubleshoot using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/check-email/

If things were working last week and they aren’t working now, then something must have changed. Usually this issue is caused by bad MX records, but it could stem from 100 other things.

It wouldn’t hurt to check with GoDaddy.

Also try using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and sync it up with a Gmail account.

There was/is a bbPress plugin for this functionality, but it would likely only work on bbPress-core forums.

I don’t know if the BuddyPress roadmap includes this functionality at present; perhaps a moderator can chime in on that piece.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

BuddyPress requires that users activate their accounts after registering. The activation link is sent via email to the registrant. It is likely that either your php mail configuration is messed up or that the email in question went into the user’s spam folder.

In any case, you can use this plugin to manage activations: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/

This is a theme problem. Try using the default BuddyPress theme.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

@mercime – I did receive the email notification of your “@” reply.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

@djd_admin – A google search for the following turned up some interesting results:

buddypress “It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.”

Are you using the default BP theme?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

Do you get the error when using the default BuddyPress theme?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

@danzigism – That’s really weird… Are you using the most recent version of Gravity Forms, BuddyPress, etc.?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

@djd_admin
1) Visit the plugins page. This should deactivate all plugins.
2) Rename the wp-content folder back to “wp-content”
3) Activate the BuddyPress plugin.
4) Activate the BuddyPress Default theme.

Does this help?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

@modemlooper – Good point.

@Snaphaan – Whether or not you wait for BP 1.7, the process for adding this functionality will be similar. I found some promising links by doing a google search for “buddypress xprofile image upload”.

Good luck!

BuddyPress is no different from WordPress in this regard. You just need to add a sidebar to your header.php. Google “how to add sidebar to wordpress”

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

You will need to edit the theme files in the “members” folder of your theme.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

You might consider using Gravity Forms or a different plugin to pull this off.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

This sounds like a problem with your theme’s code. What is the “a href” code for the home link in header.php?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

You could use jQuery to pull this off: http://jvdesigns.com.au/blog/validating-a-minimum-age-with-jquery-validate

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

Do a Google search for “modify WordPress admin bar”.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

What specific functionality are you looking for?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

This might help: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/modifying-the-search-bar-in-buddypress-default-theme/

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

You might try a combination of jQuery + CSS. You could set a max-height with CSS and then do a show/hide with jQuery.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

WPMUDev.org has a scheduler plugin that might be worth looking at. I haven’t tried it yet, myself.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

Why not define the from name in Gravity Forms rather than pull it dynamically?

NOTE: This might be a good question to ask over at the Gravity Forms support forum.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 11 months ago]

The easiest way to get rid of the tabs is to simply “display: none;” using CSS.

Alternatively, you can hook into “bp_setup_nav” like this: http://www.themightymo.com/2012/01/26/how-to-add-remove-and-change-the-order-of-buddypress-component-menu/
