BuddyPress.org

A group is just a BuddyPress component and you can create your own components. Duplicating the groups component is not an easy task. Why do you need more group types?

Can someone shed light on a pretty simple question:

Why people say Buddypress is a multisite plugin when, in fact, it is not.
It only works on the main site. Not on the subsite.

What is the point in saying it’s a multisite plugin when it’s not ?

I spent lots of time moving my existing wp/bp site to root of my domain to make it multisite, then created a subsite, all this to make my site multi-language… Only to find out, later on, that I couldn’t* access my bp profiles, etc. from the subsite…

Am I missing something ?

I read this on some other page:
« Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog (More details about BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG):
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); »

at: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

And still, after adding this, the answer to « can I put multiple blogs id in define(‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2); », is still « James: no ».

.. ?

Have you tried contacting the theme author?

@mayur-hotkar Strange. Where did you download a copy of BuddyPress? Download at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/

How did it show that ” it shows it contains virus.. So cant b installed”? Where are you hosted? Is your WordPress installed at domain root?

@mayur-hotkar are you on a multisite installation? If so, go to Network Admin > Plugins and activate BuddyPress. If you’re on a single WP installation, try to reupload BuddyPress manually, i.e. s/FTP

@mayur-hotkar BuddyPress is compatible with WP 3.7.1.

@beenyoung you can submit a BuddyPress Trac ticket at:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Trac is where the core developers hang out so if you think there is a bug in the way the BP core works then that is the best place to raise the issue.

@speedyworm BuddyPress uses the theme’s page.php to render the BP components. Have not seen a thesis theme for some time. Do check Thesis’s forums if someone already made the child theme for BP Theme Compatiblity already. If the page.php file of a thesis theme has the proprietary templating system where you cannot see the_title() and the_content() tags within the WP loop, then:
– create a new thesis child theme for BP
– copy over the parent theme’s page.php to the child theme
– change child theme’s page.php so that it contains the_title() and the_content() tags within the WP loop.

Use init hook instead of bp_init! Place in bp-custom.php :
https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp-custom-php/

function pcfbp_lite_cut_nonreg_visitor_rss_feed() {
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
		remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed' ,3      );
		remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_personal_feed' ,3      );
		remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_friends_feed'  ,3      );
		remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed',3      );
		remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_mentions_feed' ,3      );
		remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_favorites_feed',3      );
		remove_action( 'groups_action_group_feed', 'groups_action_group_feed',3 );
	}
}
add_action('init', 'pcfbp_lite_cut_nonreg_visitor_rss_feed'); 

Make sure the single quotes are not being modified if you are copying and pasting the code!

@dtabraham
I’m looking for the same functionality and would prefer, to pass the user role over to a custom xprofile field to integrate it in buddypress search.
Meanwhile I show the user roles with a function I found in the forums:

bp-custom.php:

function pc_get_userrole ($user_id) {

$user = new WP_User($user_id);

$userclean = $user->roles[0];

return $userclean;

}

function get_user_role( $user_id ){

  $user_data = get_userdata( $user_id );

  if(!empty( $user_data->roles ))
      return $user_data->roles[0];

  return false; 

}

and then echo where you want (in my case I did it in member-header.php):

<?php echo get_user_role(bp_displayed_user_id()); ?>

You can take a look here: link to a profile on my site
