installed buddypress and can’t see any new users in main site. i can see them fine under the network admin user panel.
i need to be able to see them in my main site because i want to assign different roles. i know of the ‘multisite user management’ plugin, but my site has 2 different types of users. so i can’t have them all assigned as 1 role.
it’s weird but i have bbpress installed, and when the box for ‘auto assign roles’ is checked, everyone is assigned as a participant role but i can see the user in my main site. when the box is unchecked, they don’t appear on my main site.
any help? i’ve been stuck on this for days
I would really like to contribute to buddypress but I’m not a coder. Is there a way for me to help? For example, would it be feasible to ‘sponsor’ a trac ticket and hire a coder/freelancer to address it?
I read this article: http://wpmu.org/what-not-to-expect-in-buddypress-1-9/ and while I don’t like the negative tone, it has some valid points. BTW I had no idea JJJ left! Is Automattic sending someone else to help out in his place?
I want to be positive. I’m interested in discussion how we can improve and how I can be a (small?) part of that.
IMHO the most important way to help buddypress is to organize and prioritize the project. Right now it seems a bit random. The way tickets are addressed, future roadmap, new features, etc. doesn’t really seem to have an over-arching order.
A lot of this is up to Automattic and WordPress as an organization because they call the shots. But there are things we can do on the ground as well. For example, here’s a simple way that we can treat new features.
Instead of letting tickets pile up (future release has 440 right now) or discussion forum ideas gather dust, let’s put them in a simple list and have the registered users of buddypress.org vote on them. This way we get a very quick idea of how popular certain features are and which direction the current users are interested in. Of course, this is only a way to get preliminary info and I’m not suggestion mob rule!
BuddyPress is a wonderful and the people and community is great. If we engage in some “meta-discussion” we can really turbo charge it.
ps same goes for bbPress!
Sorry, forgot to add the details:
1. Which version of WordPress are you running?
3.7.1
2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?
Directory
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?
Yes, 3.6.1
5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
Yes
6. Which version of BP are you running?
1.8.1
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
1.8
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
No
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?

14. Which company provides your hosting?
nearlyfreespeech.net
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?

I have also just removed the avatars folder and it does indeed create one as well as the userid folder although that remains blank (no files are placed there) and the same error as my original post appears. Hope that helps in solving this.
hey, can you explain: Did you configure BuddyPress in a subsite instead of the main site
thanks
Hi everyone. I’m kind of lost on how to sort by an xprofile field. My code is below which works fine on listing the appropriate members for each group. The groups being “Executive Board” and “Steering Committee”.
I have tried adding the “type=”alphabetical”, however that doesn’t give any of the correct results. Instead it seems to list only a few of the members who are not even in the same group.
My code is below:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Buddypress Leadership Template
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( bp_has_members() ) : ?>
<h4 id="executive-header">Executive Board</h4>
<div class="leadership-list">
<ul class="members-list executives leadership item-list" role="main">
<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>
<?php
global $current_site;
$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
$memberOf = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Member of' ,bp_get_member_user_id(), $multi_format = 'array');
$jobTitle = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Job Title' ,bp_get_member_user_id());
$companyName = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Company' ,bp_get_member_user_id());
$lastName = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Last Name' ,bp_get_member_user_id());
if ($memberOf != '') {
foreach($memberOf as $key => $value){
?>
<?php
if($value == "Executive Board") {?>
<li class="member-dir-member">
<div class="column-first">

<div class="company-name"> <?php echo $companyName ?></div>
</div>

</div>
<!-- end column -->

Any and all help is appreciated
I even removed the entire installation, reinstalled 3.6.1 and I am still getting the same issue. Another odd thing about this is that local avatars are showing up on localhost but not on the server copy. None of this makes any sense. My directory permissions are correct, when I run wp_debug I only get the strict errors for BuddyPress (that are showing up because of backwards compatibility). I have run out of ideas. I was hoping there was something I can place in functions.php or bp-custom.php that would cause it to look in the right folder for the uploads.
@clanvision use the default buddypress theme and see if the error still exists, my site doesn’t have this error.
Also, I’ve used shared hosting for a Buddypress site before, it’s fine for getting a site online and tested but beyond that it will be useless. Your site takes 4 seconds to load <!– Generated in 4.036 seconds. (294 q) –> and that’s without many concurrent users.
This laggy slider of yours would be the last of my concerns, you need to optimize your site quite badly. (btw Buddypress is free, and so is the support if no one answers your questions, it’s because they don’t have an answer. If that’s the case it’s YOU who should do the research to fix the problem, not complain about the lack of free support)
If you want to use BuddyPress, then yes, you need these tables. Deleting these tables will cause all sorts of things to break. 3GB in activity seems extreme – be interesting to know what type of records are filling it up if you can get MySQL access.
I do not currently have access to my site, so I can’t provide the WordPress Version, BuddyPress Version, or a working link to my site:
http://www.historiaobscura.com
They shut me down today for using more than 3GB in the activity tables on my BuddyPress.
I have been told to ask BuddyPress,org about these tables:
wp_bp_activity_meta, wp_bp_activity.
What is in these tables and is it okay to delete them?
Specifically, I we delete these tables, will comments on articles made on the site disappear?
Thanks.
Is this Buddy Press support, because it really feels like I’m writing to myself here!
I’ve noticed a javascript error in the “global.js” file on line 1519.
Uncaught TypeError: Property ‘undefined’ of object #<Object> is not a function.
I believe this is a BuddyPress error. Any ideas on this and my original problem?
It was another post I wrote: Link
Thank you @henrywright-1,
this would be a nice alternative to my own approach, but what about my original idea? Remember you asked the same question in another thread few weeks ago.
If there would be a way to pass over the different user-roles to xprofile-fields there would be no need to create templates. You could output the field in the member-loop and make it searchable. This would be the simplest way. What do you think about it?
As an example: a user registers on my site as “band” (which is a wordpress user role). The selected field would be inserted into a (maybe) hidden xprofile-field also called “profiletype”. This field could be echoed everywhere inside buddypress (clickable, searchable). I know this could be done with only xprofile-fields too, but without the possiblity to use bp-xprofile-acl an the advantage of different user capabilities. Am I clear?
i wouldn’t say it was obvious, anyway have you also activated the site tracking component inside the buddypress network settings?
I still have yet to figure this out. I have created a child theme to the default BuddyPress theme. I simply want to remove both the Email & Website input boxes.
Is there somewhere in the comments or functions file that I need to look?
if ( jq(this).hasClass('no-ajax') )
return;
Without looking at buddypress.js, I’m 99.63% sure this tells the script to return (stop executing the function) if a particular page element has class ‘no-ajax’. If the purpose of the function is just to add transition effects then you could add the no-ajax class to the page element to stop the transition effects from happening.
It’s just what makes more sense in my project, I need a couple of groups with different names, each with all the functionality of the buddypress groups.
I tried doing a find/rename and creating a loader with the help of the buddypress skeleton component as people suggested in the linked thread but it didn’t work. Any help?
Sorry Modemlooper if I wasn’t clear on what I mean by “home page.” I’m new at this game. What I mean is the page with the URI that starts with root/members/username/… . This is the page that shows the user’s activity, profile, messages, friends, groups, forums, and settings. This is the page that appears to lack the transition effects of the other pages (root/activity) and (root/members).
Thank you Henry for your confirmation of my observations. Common sense tells me to wait for BP 2.0. But curiosity drives me to try to figure this out. I found the following script in buddypress.js (my own application uses the legacy theme):
/**** Tabs and Filters ****************************************************/
/* When a navigation tab is clicked - e.g. | All Groups | My Groups | */
jq('div.item-list-tabs').on( 'click', function(event) {
if ( jq(this).hasClass('no-ajax') )
return;
var targetElem = ( event.target.nodeName == 'SPAN' ) ? event.target.parentNode : event.target;
var target = jq( targetElem ).parent();
if ( 'LI' == target[0].nodeName && !target.hasClass( 'last' ) ) {
var css_id = target.attr('id').split( '-' );
var object = css_id[0];
if ( 'activity' == object )
return false;
var scope = css_id[1];
var filter = jq("#" + object + "-order-select select").val();
var search_terms = jq("#" + object + "_search").val();
bp_filter_request( object, filter, scope, 'div.' + object, search_terms, 1, jq.cookie('bp-' + object + '-extras') );
return false;
}
});
The conditional statement that checks whether the division has the “no-ajax” class is apparently meant to catch the nav for what I am calling the home page, which has this class attached to it. Merely commenting out those lines results in a non-functional nav (clicking does nothing), so the decision to treat that page differently in the code is surely not arbitrary. There must be some reason for it. What would it be? That there is no ajax on this page?
Just curious is there some easy way to get a default set of dummy content in BuddyPress like we have at WordPress.
– Few Users
– Few Groups
– Some Replies
– Some Messages
– Some Friends
– Some Activity
Just so you can work around it and get a better view of how everything will look like, now i’m still adding Lorem Ipsum’s all over the place.
@ubernaut
I just didn’t realized I was in “tools” when I set up the network… So the answer is Yes, obviously, I set it up.
As I said:
« After installing my /en/ site, network enabled buddypress, set it up »
–> if I “network activated” buddypress, it automatically means the multisite is set up.
So, my question is : Anyone knows how to make buddypress multi blog enabled when BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG doesn’t change anything ?
Hi,
I’m using wpmu version 3.5.4 with buddypress 1.8, bbpress 2.3.2.
When the site admin adds a new user (via users/add new) the user is sent an activation email.
When the user activates the email via the activation link they are then sent a welcome email with the registered user name and password.
The problem is the filtered password is sent which I think should not be filtered in bp-core-filters.php because admin is adding the user (the comment reads: This will not filter when the site admin registers a user.).
[User Set] is sent instead of the actual password and the result is the user must click forgot password to get log in details.
Could anyone help me with this as I’ve been on this for some time now.
Also on another topic I would like the site admin to use the registration page to add new users but if the site admin is logged on then they cannot view the page because of redirects, is there a way to turn this off some how?
Thanks in advance
+1 with WP 3.7.1 and BP 1.8.1 🙁 I’m still using twenty twelve (server PHP 5.3)
in my case, it seems than it’s when rtMedia is enabled
no idea about this alert and 😉 how do to fix it, thanks in advance for your support?
I have done the exact steps I mentionned above. And I hit a wall.
After installing my /en/ site, network enabled buddypress, set it up.. I realised BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG ( set to true, un wp-config.php ) is broken. Or I don’t know how to make it work.
I just can’t find out how to enable buddypress in multi blogs. I can’t have a /subsite/member/martin/ profile page. It doesn’t exists.
Anyone knows how to make buddypress multi blog enabled ?
@bphelp Thanks, unfortunately that didn’t work either.
For anyone wondering. I found a plugin that finally blocks the BP feeds. It is for wordpress but did the trick. The plugin is here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-feeds/
