BuddyPress.org

@gregfielding I am sure there are sites that do not have a clickable logo but that is usually an amateur mistake, logos should always link back to home. Maybe I am wrong but if my memory serves me correct if your using the default theme then it should already be clickable and direct to home. At least my logos are clickable I just can’t remember if a had to add custom code to make it happen. Good luck!

Have you tried the spam plugin, Bad Behavior? I can’t remember if I read about it on the Support forums here, or if I just Googled “Buddypress Spam” and read a recommendation of it on another site, but it seems to be working for us since we started using it a few weeks ago. I haven’t found any issues with how it functions with Buddypress, either, so far.

@juanmaguerrero What we need to do is provide CSS stylsheets that will provide for people who are not using a computer. The main fault in the code right now is there is no provision if the browser cant render it and that means no one has a way to see old activity if their preferred browser will not render the code. It should revert back to the default functionality if it can’t render the autoload function. I am on vacation now so I can’t spend much time on this at the moment but we can iron this out when I get home!

== I only installed BP on the primary domain because of a bug in the BP software that would not allow the installation wizard to run on the sub-domain. ==

I have run the Installation wizard on WP/BP sites in physical subdomains, so I am not sure why it’s not running on yours. If you are on single WP now in your subdomain installation, remember to delete the bp-custom.php file from wp-content/plugins/ if you created one

Windows/Linux hosting? Have you gone to Settings > Permalinks and chosen a permalink other than the default one? If you’ve already run the installation wizard while in multisite, you might not need to do so again now that you’ve reverted back to single installation. Go to Settings > BuddyPress and check if you have the panels per this page https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

== how can I allow user to create account through my registration page.? ==

@mechnoflux enable registration in Settings > General on single WP site

== also how to connect forum directly to buddy press page? ==

Which forum are you referring to, the Group Forums (custom bbPress in BP) or Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin)?

You could also wrap modemlooper’s code with a few conditionals:

`<?php
// see if the activity component is active and if we’re currently on an activity permalink page
if ( bp_is_active( ‘activity’ ) && bp_is_single_activity() ) :
// add our mini activity loop
if ( bp_has_activities( ‘include=’ . bp_current_action() ) ) :
while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();
?>

<meta property="og:description" content="”/>

<?php
endwhile;
endif;
endif;
?>`

This can also be turned into a tiny plugin, so if you don’t like adding huge chunks of code into your header.php, you could hook into the ‘bp_head’ action:
http://pastebin.com/CPAk4D16 (paste the following into wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php)

The code can be found in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php You could ask theme author how to add the login form code in the dynamix theme

Windows/Linux hosting/XAMPP or something else? Single or Multisite installation?

– Deactivate BuddyPress
– Download/installation may have been corrupted. So download the zip file of the BuddyPress plugin at https://buddypress.org/download/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/ .Unzip in your computer and manually re-upload via FTP/cpanel/filemanager, etc to wp-content/plugins/
– Activate BuddyPress

You should be able to disable the admin bar for logged-out users in the WP admin area by navigating to “Settings > BuddyPress“, then click on the “Settings” tab.

If someone really wanted to find out if you were using BuddyPress, then it would be quite simple. I would take steps to try and hide the fact you were using WordPress first, then move down the ladder to BuddyPress later on.

About notifications without the admin bar, there are some third-party plugins available like:
http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-notifications-widget/ (a widget)

With BP 1.7, we’ll be adding universal theme compatibility, so we’ll be taking some steps to try and make life without the admin bar a little easier.

@anointed – The activity entry reply vs. edit was addressed here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4350

I tried to duplicate your problem on BP 1.7-bleeding and I can’t experience what you’re experiencing.

I edited a forum topic and the activity entry says “x edited the forum topic Y in the group Z”.

This is what I see when I edit a forum topic:

—

This is what I see when I edit a forum reply:

(Off-topic: should probably rename the h3 tag here to “Edit your forum reply in ‘New Topic'”)

—

If you’re using some plugins or you have modified your BP template files, this might also be contributing to your problem.

Edit: I see that you’re using bbPress trunk and not bundled bbPress. If you’re using bbPress v2.0 integration with groups, then that’s probably what’s causing the issue. Still some refining to do before everything gels with one another!

== But there’s no way to move between tabs, no “continue” button or anything ==

You mean you don’t see the “Save and Next” button near the upper right hand corner of the panel? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

+? This is probably so technically “involved” that it is its own point release, probably version bump. Consider this: what if a member could join a or subscribe to a group that’s in a different BuddyPress community where the activity for that group comes into his/her personal activity stream?

== Their sizes are 6K and 2K which seem too small, and I’m having a problem downloading them via FTP, even though they have adequate permissions. ==

The sizes are just about the same as what most installations have. Why you’re having issues downloading those images, beyond me – internet connection issues maybe at the time you were downloading the images? Have you tried changing bp-default theme and check if avatar issue is corrected.

== “Multiple WP networks can be created with either: WP Multi Network or Networks+” ==

@jasonewillis WP MultiNetwork or Networks+ goes beyond multisite. It means each subsite in your multisite can become a network with subsites of its own. Both would require IMHO dedicated server and would choke a shared hosting account especially if you’re considering on adding BP on each network. If you’re going to upgrade your server, then yes, paying for Network+ is worth it. The plugin developer is active in the community.

Multisite with subdomain structure example
– example.com (main site)
– subsite1.example.com
– subsite2.example.com
– subsite3.example.com
– subsite4.example.com

WP MultiNetwork and Networks+ for example
– example.com (main site of all)

---

subsite1.example.com (main site of this network)
– subsite1.example.com/subsite1
– subsite1.example.com/subsite2
– subsite1.example.com/subsite3

---

subsite2.example.com (main site of this network)
– subsite2.example.com/subsite1
– subsite2.example.com/subsite2
– subsite2.example.com/subsite3

---

subsite3.example.com (main site of this network)
– subsite3.example.com/subsite1
– subsite3.example.com/subsite2
– subsite3.example.com/subsite3

---

subsite4.example.com (main site of this network)
– subsite4.example.com/subsite1
– subsite4.example.com/subsite2
– subsite4.example.com/subsite3

What do you mean by their “DB movement”? Did they move their servers to a different location? Also, do you have a backup of your DB and server files before the “DB movement”?

@obsidianmarketing First of all, you do not need to make anything multisite if it is not needed at all. I just wanted to clarify the environment of your BuddyPress installation as to why the installation wizard is not working per your topic title in this forum. BP works in either single WP or in multisite. So if you don’t want/need to allow your members to create blogs in BP site at e.g. subsite1.example.com, then you don’t need to make it multisite at all.

I answered your post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/problems-getting-the-bp-installation-wizard-to-appear-in-the-control-panel-of-my-sub-domain/
Please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

@obsidianmarketing 2 WP instances or 1 Multisite installation == it all depends on what kind of website you are running.

Example 1: I have 2 WP instances for an organization where the main site, http://www.example.com deals mostly with organization blog/news plus around 700 pages of general information. The subsite community.example.com is the private BP site on a second database.
Example 2: For another installation, it’s multisite and the information generated in the main site is from the user blogs.

== Since I already have WP installed on my sub-domain do I need to uninstall it on the sub-domain first? If so does that just mean that I will delete the folder that was created with the name of the sub-domain in the public_html folder? ==

Before you make any major changes to your installation, backup DB and server folders. If you believe that your organization will be better served with a multisite installation, then deactivate BuddyPress and create a network (make multisite) on example.com. Then you might want to import DB of subsite into DB of main site if you already have added a lot of information. In certain cases, you only need to import the XML export from your WP install in subsite.example.com
