We “template-packed” Atahualpa i.e., install BP template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility. Instructions for Step 3 are found in following link https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/footer-is-in-left-column-on-buddypress-pages/ — though you should read through the end of the topic as you might want to reconsider using Atahualpa
PS I only installed Buddypress the first time the other day – 2 days ago – so I would have thought it was the latest version.
Wow, very useful. Thanks TheBeardedOne
@boonebgorges – Hope this helps… maybe in 1.7 ?
@thebeardedone – Thank you! Percona’s work was done on a BP 1.5.6 install… or?
I’ve uploaded a PDF of a report done by Percona to 4045 and 4060 where they were able to pin point the sloppy queries and indentify that using a string literal instead of the Buddypress default, reduced the query time by 93%. There are other recommendations in that PDF also.
Merging the two won’t happen.
It’s a horrible idea to test with live data. The point of keeping them separate is to keep them separate, so the development team has a safe and disconnected place to deploy code with little repercussion.
The slow load times likely have to do with a recent server migration, and we’re looking into what’s up. I appreciate your investigation into what’s going on where.
@modemlooper, I don’t know about anyone else but I appreciate the frack out of wordpress, buddypress and automatic!
we’re all friends here and have the same interest: how to make WP+ BP even awesomer!
@frank13 the list mentions one of the most powerful ways to speed up any wordpress install:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/
it is a bit of a slog to *properly* select the right features for your particular install but W3 is pretty powerful – just be careful, the plugin is dangerously good – meaning that if you don’t know what you’re doing it can $#&! your site
my suggestion was for two reasons, I don’t understand why testbp.org exists because that functionality can be performed by buddypress.org
also, buddypress.org is for some strange reason very slow
look up your site using this service and see ifyou can find bottlenecks:
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120720_0E_TC8/ (3.3 second for testbp.org)
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/120720_3N_TDF/ (7 second for buddypress.org)
I’m having an issue, now that I’ve tried to do it on my own.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare groups_get_groupmeta() (previously declared in /home/indiefo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-functions.php:893) in /home/indiefo/public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-indiefolio/proj_sb.php on line 9
So, I guess my new question is, how to I redeclare a function? or can I even? How do I display the meta without this error?
anyone able to help with this? @mercime.
Thanks in advance
Justin
Is there a reason why you are posting endless duplicates, and typing in capitals… are you a particularly important person, more so than anyone else on this forum?
You can’t delete buddypress.org / wordpress.org (they are the same thing) accounts
I’ve got no idea why Automattic pursue this policy — I’ll agree with you that it seems ridiculous. If you mention it on their wordpress.org forums, quasi-Automattic employees will shout you down (I guess they don’t adhere to the ‘customer is always right’ mode of operating).
Of course, you should be able to delete your account, but you can’t.
I think permitting users to delete their own accounts is an admin option.
@moque – je te le dis franchement, je ne parle pas francais 
Another point I just realised, it will now default to the custom group someone is a member of, rather than ‘my profile’. It sorts multiple groups by their ID, the highest ID is the one that get’s selected…
This is the code I’ve got from lines 33 – 71 in post-form.php in the theme (BuddyPress Corporate)
`
<input type="submit" name="aw-whats-new-submit" id="aw-whats-new-submit" value="" />
:
<?php if ( bp_has_groups( 'user_id=' . bp_loggedin_user_id() . '&type=alphabetical&max=100&per_page=100&populate_extras=0' ) ) :
while ( bp_groups() ) : bp_the_group(); ?>
<option selected="selected" value="">
<?php endwhile;
endif; ?>
<input type="hidden" id="whats-new-post-in" name="whats-new-post-in" value="" />
`
Hi Abbie,
a couple of observations, although not a solution:
Your link URLs are correct – they don’t need /profile on the end of them. BuddyPress will capture /websitename/members/username and direct it to the default page for your profile.
s2member is compatible with BuddyPress – so again, that shouldn’t be a problem.
I’m fairly sure redirection of links to the home page has been discussed before — hopefully someone else (or Google) can point you to the previous threads / help further. It might be an idea to share details of your hosting (is it Apache for example), and any mods to your .htaccess files. Also, which permalink structure have you chosen?
Cheers, Roger
Hello,
registration process has nothing to do with BP, it’s WP stuff. For some technical answers to your question, be inspired by reading here:
http://www.esecurityplanet.com/open-source-security/top-5-wordpress-vulnerabilities-and-how-to-fix-them.html
To avoid robot resgistration, there is nothing definitve to do at this time. But to get sure you don’t get a robot in your user list, you can add a mandatory field to your registration via custom profile fields.
For example, “city”. Because this field is custom, no robot will fill it correctly. And most will not fill it at all. Each subscription with “doe” as city name or empty city field can be banned and/or erased from your DB. This will calm down spam activities for a while. The price of this is a constant admin work. But consider that a daily managed site is lesser spammed than a site with randomised webmastering each 31th february… And a site with 50 000 unique visitors will be more attacked that a 70 hits/day site. Just the price of glory, nothing to do with buddypress. [exit] 
@rogercoathup Many thanks, i’ll look into those! 
The code for the button exists in the ‘function bp_get_group_join_button( $group = false )’ which gets the button. This code can be found in the bp-groups-template.php file under buddypressbp-groups
Pot file is not the problem Pot files are automaticaly created on trunk each time a file is updated. Creating pot file on Glotpress is not a problem, because Glotpress imports this file from bp Trac.
The “problem” is writing a po file (not pot, but po). Do we write it on Glotpress or do we write it at home on poEdit for example and push it to i18n Trac or do we use both ?
In my mind this doesn’t matter as long as an updated mo file is avaible somewhere. The unique question is, where is somewhere ? Of course it must be a place knowed by BP users. The existing i18n is a good place to be. Must only be more visible on buddypress.org
The other problem are the translators themselves. Polyglot discussion list is essentially devoted to wordpress, and as you know, BP user are constantly busy (and honnestly not so numerous as WP users), so its a bit difficult to built translators teams or find a goodwill in (ie.) Farsi or (ie.) Croatian language…
And as you know also, working a long time without feedback is demotivative, frustrating and leads to abandon.
@djpaul FYI i answered here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4265
@Eliott — I don’t know of any documentation on the function, you are best looking through the code for the arguments it takes. API documentation is very thin on the ground.
If you take a look at the skeleton component ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/ ), it gives you a model for registering your own components and actions, which you can then use in conjunction with the notifications system (e.g. as parameters to bp_core_add_notification() )
Similarly, have a search through the codebase to see how the default BP components call the function.
Thanks I will try that out
I’d use the default theme as a sanity check because that will tell you if set up or theme – hopefully
I’m just going to clarify what the activtity stream does and can do if you modify the loop.
“Activity Streams
Global, personal, and group activity streams with single-stream view. Included are threaded commenting, status updates, favorites, @mentions, RSS feeds, and email notifications.”
https://buddypress.org/about/story/
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/ shows you how you can pass variables to the functions which means you can create custom filtering.
