BuddyPress.org

@fugu78,

you are using joomla on the mainsite and WordPress on the subdomain.
Question is: is WP sharing the same DB as joomla or have you a complete separate install (db & cms) for your WP/BP site ?
Which type of WP install do you use ? Single or network ? (more about)
Are mainsite users and wp site users the same people ?

BuddyBoss has his own support forum. You probably have better to ask there directly.

Ok, I know it’s not the correct php way, but in lieu of any other option I’ve found how to remove showing it with css – posted in BuddyBoss here: http://www.buddyboss.com/support-forums/topic/1st-month-feedback-mobileresponsive-theme/ and I put this code…
#buddypress #admins-list div.action a, #buddypress #mods-list div.action a, #buddypress #members-list div.action a, #buddypress #groups-list div.action a, #buddypress #friend-list div.action a{display:none;}
in my child theme style.css file.
Hope it helps other who are stuck too 🙂

Hi!

I recently upgraded my site with a new theme (BuddyBoss Boss. theme) and am running WP 4.1.1 and upgraded from BuddyPress 1.9.2 to 2.2.1.

I have a setup where I redirect the activation e-mail to the site admin to be able to manually control new members and verify their information before activating them and letting them log in. This is a cruical function for my site since it’s a private network.

After the upgrade I noticed that some spam users were automatically activated and able to log in without my manual activation. The users are automatically activated, the same issue as @RussAdams is experiencing. I’ve tried deactivating a few plugins (BuddyPress Pending Activations, BuddyPress Auto Group Join) but this issue persists. In BuddyPress 1.9.2, everything was working as expected.

Browser sessions doesn’t seem to be the issue since clearly people on other computers have been able to create accounts which were automatically activated as well.

This is a very serious issue for my site since I no longer have the control over new users and spam users can log in after activating. Did you get this sorted out?

And it seems, the two shall never meet ……

http://stackideas.com/forums/switched-from-joomla-to-wordpress-after-jreviews-port-wish-stackideas-would-consider-porting-easysocial-the-same-way

BTW @statusselect, have you been able to use https://www.corephp.com/joomla-products/wordpress-for-joomla with Easysocial with Likes/Favs comment sync between the two – stream to blog, blog to stream

The two things lacking in BP after I saw Easysocial in some details is the
– Sharebox – it comes with nice at mention and hashtag ( hashtag plugin in BP is not Unicode compliant)
– Album and photo – nicely built into core – something not in BP’s agenda with their own reasoning.

The Sharebox which Easysocial uses can be instantly done in BP by someone who has some coding skills and BP love using the plugins avaialble – buddypress activity plus, buddypress privacy, bp checkins, Event Manager and a Media plugin. But then ….

Easysocial theme is responsive in a fantastic way and similar BP theme like the Boss of Buddyboss costs $100+ while Easysocial, without the bbundle is $90 – so this may be another attractive point for those who need Social more than multiuser blogging. Easysocial is lesser known till now and probably they do not have a favorable stance towards WP.

And the two shall never meet ….
People shall choose whatever they want, and BP devs and debvelopment will follow the path that suits them best. One thing is true, if BP was something like Jetpack, things would have evolved faster, imho

Thanks.

Hi @sklemenc,

you use a commercial theme and need support, please go to their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.

Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

Hi,

Sorry to read you’re having an issue after updating to latest version.

The problem is due to the BuddyBoss media plugin. It looks like it’s calling a BuddyPress function too early in the process. Unfortunately, it’s a premium plugin so it’s hard for me to find what’s going wrong. Could you contact the support team of this plugin to report the problem ?

If the support team needs any help, i’ll be glad to bring my hands on it.

Try using a WP default theme besides BuddyBoss and see if you still experience the same problem.

If there is still an issue, it might be a plugin conflict.

Since BuddyBoss is a premium theme, your purchase entitles you to paid support.
So you’re better off asking those questions on the BuddyBoss support system.

Default BP does allow to see other users’ Favorits in the Favorit tab in Profile page – why does Buddyboss kills this? At least site admin should be able to turn it on or off.

I see what you mean. We will consider adding an admin option.

Buddyboss is never meant to load every plugin but if a chosen few are bundled, it will be really good rather than re-inventing wheels at premium plugins, features of which are already available in the WP-BP repo. If users like us see thay they are well integrated into the Buddyboss look and feel there can be more sales of the Buddyboss theme actually.

I appreciate all of the feedback, very much. Our plan is to expand on these plugins and make them more feature rich, launch more premium plugins and themes, and also free plugins for the community over the year.

We launched two free plugins this week which you may be interested in:

Search all BP components in one unified dropdown:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/

Edit BP activity from the front-end:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-edit-activity/

I actually would have missed since this thread has become old! But thanks for responding at last.

1) Can I “Like” from a blog post and it will show in the activity stream? And vice versa?
2) Can an user see a collection of another users’ Likes? In the demo I saw this missing
3) How does the theme behaves in WP Multisite set up and/or with a standard 3rd party plugin eg buddypress-activity-privacy.1.3.3?
4) Media solution by buddyboss is separately priced but seems incomplete:
– Cannot mark directly on photo, see photo tagging in FB or other php scripts
– Cannot do multiple ( but max number settable by site admin) photo upload simultaneously
– Media files not integrated in WP media etc
5) How does the interface look like when one submits a blog – is he thrown out of the theme?
6) Less important – Wall comes as a separate premium plugin but does not let you post blog/event/location – nothing except photo. It has also only river display – some premium themes similarly priced offers both river and card display. No profile cover photo also ?

True, we used to have an open forum, but we had too many spam signups and closed it to customers only.

I will request you to make a custom solution for yourself to prevent spam signups. This will be more creditable stuff encouraging us to go for custom solutions to Buddyboss. Thanks again.

@greghyatt

My advice would be to use this plugin instead for a wall:

BuddyBoss Wall

There’s nothing in this for me, it’s purely a recommendation. But the guys at BuddyBoss are very good.

Hey guys, this is Michael from BuddyBoss.

@style960 Thanks for the kind words 🙂

@ronia

Can you please share a link?

The next theme will be available later this month, so check back at buddyboss.com every so often and you’ll see it advertised there. It is an entirely new concept.

If you really want to play with it now, send an email to support at buddyboss dot com asking to be a beta tester, and I’ll let you in.

@disha76

do you know how to contact the Buddyboss people for pre-sales queries?

Here I am, ask away 🙂

They seem to have no open forum

True, we used to have an open forum, but we had too many spam signups and closed it to customers only.

I submitted some queries via their contact form – and got no reply from them – its 4 days.

Sorry to hear. We are usually faster, but may have been slower due to the holiday season. What email did you send from? (you can PM me this if you prefer)

I visited the Buddyboss demo but it does not show how standard Blog post…

Here is a sample blog post:
http://www.buddyboss.com/demo/buddyboss/an-argument-for-simplicity/

Front-end posting…

We are going to build a plugin for front-end blog posting. In general we prefer to put big features in plugins rather than themes, so they can work with any theme. Then we style that functionality in our themes so it looks really nice.

Do the Buddyboss people frequent this forum ? If they do and answered such queries it would be a good sign indeed.

I check out buddypress.org forums pretty frequently and answer questions 🙂

@djsteveb

I found that most buddypress responsive themes are based on bootstrap – and since rtmedia loads a lot of bootstrap, and font awesome stuff, things would break when I put them together..

Agreed, bootstrap bloats stuff and causes problems. BuddyBoss themes (current and future) are just CSS and media queries. We’re not using bootstrap.

@disha76 Did the BuddyBoss guys get back to you?

Hi style960, do you know how to contact the Buddyboss people for pre-sales queries? They seem to have no open forum for this and probably has closed the Q-A page in FAQ.

I submitted some queries via their contact form – and got no reply from them – its 4 days. But the Rtcamp guys seem to be prompt at least in this respect- they reply very fast.

I will be interested in such a theme if they can solve the “Like” problem of WP-BP. I visited the Buddyboss demo but it does not show how standard Blog post or Gallery blog posts of a standard WP 4.1 would look – blog post submission pages are missing too.

Do the Buddyboss people frequent this forum ? If they do and answered such queries it would be a good sign indeed.
