In reply to: [Resolved] can't create groups
@mercime
ParticipantFirst off, what theme are you using? Have you changed to BP Default theme to check if issue is resolved?
If you have to see it, u have to mail me, because it’s a members-only-site
Rather that you post username/password of a temporary or throw-away account.

ParticipantSorry for non-english examples. Basically i dont have english network yet ^^
Should i create a community in http://theme.firmasite.com/ ? Its a network itself so i can install buddypress and open registration etc. I couldnt decide on this actually but i generally hate registering to lots of site for able to get support. If i dont change my mind, i am thinking to give support on wordpress.org’s forums because everyone have account in there.What do you guys think about registering a site for getting support?

ParticipantThanks for your reply. The problem is that it shows to many friends. At one point the friend count for one user showed 14 even though there are only 5 test users. I tried deleting the number in wp-usermeta in the hopes that it would refresh but no luck. I have created and deleted several accounts, the friends number will go up but never down again.

ParticipantIf you created test users with your admin account then they won’t show up until the test user logs in.

ParticipantI’ve been reading these forums for weeks trying to find a solution to all the spam registrations I’m getting on my site. Keep in mind that I haven’t opened it to the public yet. It is closed and the registrations are closed, but still they are getting in and creating accounts. I decided to do some troubleshooting to see where they are getting in and this is what I found out so far:
1. When I close registration still they get in and create member accounts and Groups in which they inject their spam. 2. I started to turn off some of the buddypress features one at a time, such as the forums and the groups, and the registrations stopped. It’s been several days without spam registrations. I turned on open registrations and still there’s no registration. I turned on Forums and now they are coming back.
Conclusion: they must be getting through the forum, since I understand, uses a version of BBPress. Now I have to get a solution to protect the forums and groups if I want these features on our sites.
any solutions out there?March 3, 2013 at 3:22 am #154930In reply to: [Resolved] WordPress Site/BuddyPress Issue

ParticipantI have tried my “www.lbsblogs.com/blogs/create” but it gives me and invalid page. It is only letting me create a blog on the registration page which I want to do it within a user account when they are logged in.

Participant@daronna I assume that you’re on a Windows server thus trying to get pretty permalinks working as required by BuddyPress by appending /index.php. That method is not going to work with BuddyPress.
I suggest deactivating BuddyPress first. Then check out the other methods for pretty permalinks without /index.php on Windows server:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/iis7-web-config/If you still have issues with pretty permalinks, do post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
Only activate BuddyPress after the issue is resolved.

This plugin does not hide the activity tab in the main nav or in the profile activity tab but it does make activity friend only unless your the admin in which case it shows sitewide activity. To test it you would have to create two accounts that are not admins and not friends and put come activity in on both and you will see that as long as your not friends you can not see the others activity.February 25, 2013 at 5:54 am #154046In reply to: A member site doesn't show in member directory

ParticipantI tried one more thing before starting over. I had one plugin that I never deactivated to see if it was the problem: Si Captcha. That little rascal! It works so well, but it was keeping my members from becoming the admins of their own newly-created sites. I guess it has to do with spammers. I will see if there are any settings.
Every time something happens that I can’t explain, I feel like I’ve won the lottery but I can’t find the ticket. I hate that feeling. I really do.
These spammers are nothing more than high school thugs standing in the entryway of school, knocking the books out of peoples hands when they walk through the doors. I don’t know why there always has to be someone talking the fun out of something truly amazing such as BuddyPress. It really disappoints me to see spam accounts.
If I find out anything about si captcha, I’ll post back here.
Peace.

Participant@ubernaut Sorry about not having the right version. I accidentally listed bbPress version. I’m running 1.6.4 BP.
I honestly don’t know what happened when I created the site last night. I’ve spent about two hours this late afternoon trying to replicate the situation to learn from it. All I know is that I created the site through BP and I must have done it at the same time I created the user account.
I have it all straightened out now. I just created a new site and had the user do it themselves. I then designed the site as an admin.
One thing, though, when people create a new site, they aren’t assigned an admin role. I have to do that for them. Is there a setting for this, that will automatically assign them the admin of their own site?
Thanks,
Kevin

Asynaptic
ParticipantI’m not a developer but am coming from the client side: let me warn you that any one who gives you BS like that is probably not going to pay you but string you along. This may sound negative but let me explain.
You wrote:
“My client is currently telling me that they will pay me once the social community is bringing in revenue. they have money, but they just don’t want to pay me.”
What does ‘bringing in revenue’ mean exactly? gross or net? that is before expense or after expense? if after expense which expenses? does the expense include their salary? at what level of revenue? how will you verify it? will he open up his books and bank/paypal account to you? highly unlikely!!
No my friend. You are about to get royally screwed. That talk is BS and it is merely another delaying tactic.
Unfortunately there are a $ $ h @ t s in this world (on both sides, owners and developers) and they create problems for the rest of us by making us have to be very careful of who we work with and going through legal channels. Having said that, even if you have a contract do you realize that it isn’t really worth the e-paper it is written on? enforcing a contract is a totally different matter. Do you have the funds to hire a lawyer and go after this guy if he breaks his contract? so what good is a contract?
The best thing to do is to STOP working and tell him: pay me NOW. If you have access to code or the site, lock it down and don’t release it until you are paid.

Hopefully you’ll come out of this wiser and if you play your cards right also compensated for your time.
About setting rates, go to elancer or other freelance websites, check with a ‘buddypress’ filter what the rates are for developers with your level of experience and knowledge. Then multiply it be a geographic modifier to find your rate (for example, if you are in the UK and they are in Indonesia, multiply your rate by 2.5).

Paul Whitener Jr.
Participant1. spam messages!
I really like this plugin for managing spam registrations and comments:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/
Signing up for an Akismet key will also help with spam comments, as would requiring someone to create an account and login before doing so (in Settings: Discussion).
2. am using bp on my 3rd blog. somehow users can not delete their’s account.
You can enable this in: Settings: BuddyPress: Settings (tab): Allow registered members to delete their own accounts

philipt18
ParticipantI’m using Buddypress Social from WPMU.
I switched to BP Default and:
– didn’t see the double avatar in the Activity list
– same problem with updating my profile
– same problem trying to create a GroupFor the first issue, of confirming a friend, it was a little more complicated. I used Safari which was logged into antoher user account to accept friendship. It worked normally. I then went to the Friends list, and cancelled the friendship. I’m not sure why the friend was still listed there, but I took advantage of that and clicked on the Add Friend button. It loaded a new page that said:
Are you sure you want to do this?
and then a link that said:
Please try again.
which links back to my Friends page, which this time was blank. In any case, the combination of ‘Are you sure…’ and ‘Please try again.’ seems out of place.
I then went to the Members page, and clicked Add Friend again. I then went to the Members page using my admin account (the account I requested friendship of) and it listed the members including the account I requested from – and next to that name it had a button labeled ‘Cancel Friend Request’ which seems backwards. However, I noticed two notifications in the top menu, one which said the user had accepted my friendship request, and another saying the user had requested my friendship. I selected the second one and was taken to the Requests page. I clicked Accept and it seemed to work normally.
Hope that’s all clear…

ParticipantHi, for the life of me I can’t get the buddypress activity stream to show the blog posts from networked blogs. I have enabled “site tracking” on a fresh install of WP and BP. It seems to work for super-admin, and updates the activity feed whenever I post or comment, but doesn’t do so for other users I have created. The site is a testing site using a spare domain I have: researchstudies.com.au/activity. I could set you up with an admin account if that will help? Any ideas to help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Jamie

ParticipantHi,
open up this file sidebar.php. can be found at buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php
around line 33, you can see this line:
`if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :`
This is the start of sidebar login widget box and below you can see line with the words “Please create an account to get started.”. If you do not want those words appear delete this line around line 37:
`printf( __( ‘Please create an account to get started.’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_signup_page() );`
Just below the line above you can remove the login form and replace your subscription form or whatever.
Hope it helps.

ParticipantNot sure if this is what your looking for, but there is a plugin that converts all instances of displayname to username.
Link: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
.It hasn’t been updated in a while, but last time I used it it worked fine.

ParticipantThank you guys for your quick responses…
Actually it’s not a Ning site, It’s a student information system & I want to export its users (who are students) in a format that could be imported into buddypress; so I can create them accounts with the specified fields that i already defined in Buddypress (program, term , year, etc..)I installed BuddyExport on my test site, there’s Buddypress Import option but not accomplished yet as appears (nothing appears when clicking on it) or I missed something?

February 9, 2013 at 9:08 am #152711In reply to: Create Sub Nav Menu Item in Profile
userabuser
ParticipantIts not a BP component, its actually a page under the page post_type.
I’ve now got my code working, it was conflicting with the BP custom profile menu plugin (or vice versa). After disabling that plugin and applying the suggestion as provided by Shane, it now works.
However when using the BP custom profile menu plugin, whatever pages were added (as per the normal WordPress Menu system) would correctly load themselves upon navigating to said URL.
With the manual method I am using above, the URLs do 404 on me.
So using the screen_function callback I can run a query for the page named account – which is fine, happy to do that.
But I’d like to know whether there is a particular method I need to apply (rewrite rule) to have the links work (navigate to their permalink destination) without having to use the screen function?
Anyway, for now thanks for the assistance and to Shane for providing the insight I needed to get this working correctly.

February 9, 2013 at 3:43 am #152702In reply to: Create Sub Nav Menu Item in Profile
ParticipantThanks for your reply Shane.
I tried adding the screen function with an empty test function to no avail. If I change the slug to $bp->profile->slug then the Sub Nav item appears as a sub item of the Profile Parent tab but seems not to work with my custom added “TEST” parent.
It seems like its a slug issue, but whether I am declaring,
‘slug’ => $bp->account->slug
or
‘slug’ => ‘account’…it still doesn’t seem to take. When I dump the $bp global varaible, I can see my parent menu item exists as it should, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue. Thanks for your input thus far.

ParticipantI created another test account on WordPress.org to test earlier (to see if I had been banned/blacklisted over here for some odd reason). Anyways, the test account is: DCraft11
I just tested the account and it is still having the issue. Tested in Chrome, FireFox, and IE. I’m logging in using the admin bar at the top, hovering over “Anonymous”, selecting login, and using the dedicated login screen.

ParticipantI had a problem for over a week to login to BP forum (!!!??). Please check the post on the WP support forum about it.
The problem was (is?):
If I’m NOT logged in, I can open the Buddypress forum and find and read my topic.
Of course, I can’t post on the forum if I’m not logged in. So when I log in, and click on “Support” in order to open the forum I got “Error 404 – Destination Not Found” (Buddypress.org page with menus and all other elements but in the middle it says: “Error 404 – Destination Not Found”).If I go under my account settings, I can see my topic under “my activities” > “my mentions”, but when I click on the link I got “Error 404 – Destination Not Found”.
I emptied all cache and cookies and I tried from different browsers, machines, networks, I even created and tested with new user account, but it is always the same. I have NO CLUE what to do!
Today somebody suggested that he had the same problem, and the solution was to click on all the menu items ones first before clicking on the forum (??). So I did, and it worked (??????) – I could finally open the forum.
Please guys, what is it? If I’m to use BP I want to be sure that I can use the forum, and that this whole thing is working.
Thank you in advance!
January 30, 2013 at 3:43 pm #152060In reply to: Spammer bypassed group creation
Participant`I have group creation disabled and users have to fill in a form to have us manually create their group.`
The spammer might have hacked into the Site/Super Admin account. Backup database. Curious what’s the username used by the hacker? Check activity of said “member” and remove/delete anything created by said member then delete from users. Do you still have a username “admin”? Then create another username for your admin account and then demote the “admin” to suscriber in wp-admin or remove completely.
