BuddyPress.org

Hi !

Would you just tell me how to have xprofile turned on ? It could fix my problem… 😉
My buddypress is in french, so does xprofile stands for Extended Profile in the settings of buddypress ?

Thanks !

I just asked in the SocialAuth plugin forum if they can make it compatible with Multisite and BuddyPres.

Hi guys,

I actually have the same issue but I don’t have WP Super Cache installed.
However I have many other plugins installed…
Do you know what plugin could cause the same effect ? Or perhaps a set into buddypress or wordpress itself ? (because of the use of permalinks for exemple…? I don’t know, I have no idea on what’s going on, I’m a newbie to wordpress and buddypress ! 😉

Thanks a lot for your time.

@catyco If that subdomain is part of a multisite installation at http://www.mainsite.com/ i.e., virtual subdomain at mysubdomain.mainsite.com, then you just set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on:
define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id );
where $blog_id is replaced by the blog ID # e.g., 2

@monkfish13 For BP Album, the plugin devs are working on BP Media http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/ Check out the system requirements and read documentation before installing in test installation/server first. Having said that, I may be wrong but I gathered that BP Album is still good for current BP/WP.

As for BP Gallery, the plugin has always been updated to latest BP/WP versions http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/ Been using it since Feb 2010 circa BP 1.2 for different sites.

You can use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-docs/ or DIY http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-user-frontend/

Implementation would be different for each plugin so check out which one meets your requirements and easiest to carry out on your end.

Sorry about that. Put up a message for now explaining why the page is vacant. We’ll have something fun there next weekish.

@niccola Which forum were you trying to activate/install? BP Codex/Documentation is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

@jakewho something like this? http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-auto-activate-auto-login/

does this migration mean I’ll be moving my group forums to bbpress 2.0 or is it just a way to setup site wide forums?

@daneglerum The link is working for me. Try to access via another browser perhaps? Or clear browser cache…

The BP Group Forums are being merged into the bbPress plugin (Sitewide Forums) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598 So at this point, you would be well-advised to start with Sitewide Forums and follow instructions in link posted earlier.

I am also looking for a solid gallery plugin for my BP installation and like @q5sys, I’m very hesitant to pay for something that I have no idea if it would work how i want it to.

I have installed and tried to use BP album, but that plugin seems to be un-supported, or at least out of development as the zip file as created back in September 2011.

Are either of the projects still supported? and has anyone had any success with them over the past month or so ?

As I said previously, the group_id is passed as the first parameter to the action.

You need to add the parameters to your function.

If you are not familiar with writing action functions in WordPress, you should read here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action

@jules-colle

Finished almost exactly the same requirement for a private community, certain profile fields consist of data needed to be added by the site rather than individual users, so set specific edit profile fields to super_admin only but allowed the public view, then as admin you just need to navigate to the users account and then use the admin links on adminbar to edit users profile.

Users are not a BP managed item, Users belong to WP thus adding new users does not present the same xprofile fields for editing.

I got the same problem. I’m using a buddypress child friendly theme all works except for the forum page which turn totally white. What can I do?

There is another really good use for having the admin be able to change user info. For example I’m creating a website for a closed business club. The admin would like to fill in all known details for all companies joining the club. There is no registration form, and it’s invite only. The admin would like to fill in all kinds of information while creating the members, like VAT, description of the company, company logo’s.

It’s the first time I’m working with buddypress, and I’m a bit amazed something as simple as this is still not possible while adding new members from the admin pages..?

If it’s on the members page, use a bp function to get the user_id, e.g. bp_displayed_user_id(), and pass that to your loops.

The call you are using to get the queried_user_id is not going to work on a BuddyPress member page.

Blank pages usually are an error of some form. First up, you can if possible look in your error logs. Next up, I’d double check the theme you’re using doesn’t already support BuddyPress – sometimes you can get an error if using the template pack and the theme supports BuddyPress without it (most BuddyPress themes do).

Where is: dp_get_queried_user_id? I see you’re calling it but what does it contain? Can you perhaps do an echo to see if you’re indeed showing the userid?
