BuddyPress.org

I have experience with both plugins: Peepso and BuddyPress.

BuddyPress is a free plugin and offers integration with BBPress forum. It has its own look and feel, very different from Facebook. For visitors it can be difficult to understand where to do what. It does have tons of option to extend it with other plugins. To be honest you will need other plugins to get some functionality. You can customise a lot if you want to. Development is not too fast as it is run by volunteers….also means less headaches with constant updates ;-). To be honest I find the BuddyPress website a bit confusing, like the plugin it doesn’t follow standard website look and feel.

Peepso is a paid plugin. The free plugin is pretty useless if you ask me, so if you decide to go with Peepso you will probably need the Ultimate Bundle. This bundle offers a lot of options and follows Facebooks look and feel. Users will understand right away how it works. Updates are on a regular basis, like every 2 weeks with bugfixes and extra functionality.

Pros BuddyPress
Free
Extendable with other plugins

Cons BuddyPress
Missing some basic options (can be added with 3rd party plugins)
Bit confusing for new users
More plugins needed – compatibility – problems? – multiple developers -> frustration?

Pros Peepso
Complete package if you go for Ultimate bundle
Users understand Facebook…and Peepso
1 stop shop – 1 plugin – 1 developer

Cons Peepso
Expensive
NOT multilingual! (bit weird for a social network!)
Use as is – fast developing means fast updates breaking customisations.

If you want to build a social network in 1 language, got the money and want an easy solution go for Peepso. I choose BuddyPress as I use WPML and 2 languages.

BuddyPress does not have membership levels.

If you are using another plugin for membership levels – ask them for the code to retrieve a membership level for the current user.

Then ask bbPress support ( bbpress.org/forums/ ) about the best hook to use to maybe restrict access.

check the counter under users. If you can resend one via the admin function, it is not a hosting issue it is a bp bug.

Also if all the notices about new message and other notifications are being received by user it is not a hosting issue, it is a bp bug.

I have a full bbpress working environment which is grate and managed under secure and wp user accounts.

The new site I saw bp aka buddypress and it seem to meet the needs for what I am doing.
Profile are exclusive to each group for editing. this is option in profiles.

More later.

Yyy

Hi,

This is hardcoded in bbpress plugin here bbpress\includes\extend\buddypress\groups.php.

Find the line $this->slug = 'forum'; but I think changing this may create some issues but you can check if it works fine for you or not. Also changing anything in core file is never recommended because on the next update you will lose it and then have to redo again.

One recommendation is that always take a backup of your site when you are doing such core changes.

Thanks

Ok, got it now.

The above code will show the forum form on bbpress user profile, not BuddyPress.

Please try this code:

add_action('bbp_template_after_user_topics_created', 'ps_show_forum_form');

function ps_show_forum_form(){
	if(bbp_is_user_home() && current_user_can('moderate')){
		echo do_shortcode('[bbp-forum-form]');
	}
}

Thanks

Hi,

Please go with current_user_can. I found that in a link on bbpress I think but that function is no more there.

In particular,I’d like to distinguish between organizations and individuals.

The organizations apply to build communities, and organizations can post blogs in established communities to answer questions, free and paid features.

The data discussed by members can be saved and can be provided to scientific institutions for analysis.

Hi,

BuddyPress have member type features that you can use to distinguish between members. Please check this plugin https://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-member-types-pro/ and then can restrict group creation and blogs by member type organization.

Also use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/ for forum creation where members can come and reply on topics.

The topics and replies and activity post in buddypress are stored in the database.

Please check all of them and then can choose a BuddyPress based theme https://colorlib.com/wp/best-buddypress-wordpress-themes/ and it will have most of things inbuilt.

Thanks

You should post on the bbPress forums:
https://bbpress.org/forums

bbPress handles the forum aspect of your site. It looks like Turkish should be supported based on the community’s translation efforts:
