No. But reality one should give way to another.
Hi @Hugo, you can check the plugin please, i hav’nt time to add it to wordpress repo.
and you Mr @newpress, don’t throw accusations around like that 
.
@newpress Please don’t throw accusations around like that. If there is a problem with the plugin please just state so and request in the thread that the link be removed which is what I’ll do for the moment.
And also a lesson learnt perhaps? Do not just download php scripts or any scripts from unknown and untrusted sources and let them lose on your machine or worse you hosting account where they may also compromise far more than just your site – there’s a level of responsibility that has to be taken on the net.
Your solution: copying the whole BuddyPress function and changing one line is not the best way to do this.
As I suggested earlier — that BuddyPress function has a filter for the post types it works with: bp_blogs_record_post_post_types
All you need to do is register a filter that adds your custom post types to the array of post types.
But “User Role Editor” doesnt work. If it does, I wont leave buddypress
Also “Members” plugin is easier than that, but even it rendered useless
I resolved it long ago
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/giving-up-on-using-forums-bbpress/
Alternatively you can go to bbpress->setting-> change forum slug from forums to anything else. I think it works though didnt try it myself
Sorry, I’ve tried using bbPress 2.1, but it is not integrating well with my group forums and Buddypress 1.5 in general.
What I’ve found:
– Buddypress activity stream not updating when making bbPress forum posts
– Creating a ‘new topic’ in bbPress doesn’t always work. Sometimes I get an error message that no forums exist for a particular group, but doesn’t give me the option of creating a new forum topic from the front-end. I have to go into the WordPress backend to create new topics.
How I installed it:
– Disable ‘Discussion Forums’ component from Buddypress setup
– Uninstall ‘Group Forums’ from Buddypress forum setup
– Delete the WordPress page (“My group forums”) I previously created and linked to Buddypress discussion forum to
– Install bbPress 2.1 and activate
Can you let me know if this looks correct?
I’m also having this same issue.
On a fresh install, (http://dsjprojects.com/buddypress) post comments are indeed logged into the activity stream.
But on my main sites, (http://anawimcc.org, http://signsofsafetyusa.com/activity/) post comments aren’t logged in the activity stream. Not even after reverting to Default theme and disabling all plugins, and even updating to the most recent BuddyPress. Not sure what it could be…
I don’t know what @r-a-y means by “setting my activity stream filter”. I’ve looked around a bit and not found a whole lot on this specific issue; This Thread seems to have a bit of good material but I think I’m in over my head a bit.
Any help? Or, anyone having the same problem?
Thanks much,
Still no luck using the code for bp-blogs in my functions.php:
http://pastebin.com/evuFQE5H
Edit: nvm, got it working, figured it out. Need to have BuddyPress aware of new content.
@mercime Ok…so i installed the plugin and it seems like im not getting any emails when i made a test post 
– everything else got cleared up thanks…it’s just this stupid subscription thing. Here are my settings for the 2subscribe buddypress plugin: https://i.imgur.com/mu437.jpg
P.S. [EDIT: I just went to the options directly from the menu…it’s just the immediate link from the dashboard doesn’t work.] I think either the subscribe2 plugin or anti captcha plugin i installed is prohibiting me from entering settings to some features…”You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” i need the anti-captcha plugin in though 
any help w/that at all too?
Thank you so much Roger! I will definitely try that and let you know.
I am using a basic buddypress theme – redecorated..but buddypress theme nonetheless.
If you want to register just to test: http://www.thefashionworldmedia.com
Thank you again 
Yes, you have the BuddyPress function to use to get the URL, and the rest (image links) is basic PHP / HTML and / or CSS.
If you are looking to modify your theme, and don’t have a grounding in PHP / HTML / CSS, it would make sense to do a primer in these first.
That’s a good idea. Thank you. I asked here because I am concerned about adding plugins that may conflict with buddypress.
Did this work on your test / development site? Have you run through all of the questions / checks Paul has given you to the letter – when it comes to BuddyPress, he knows what he’s talking about.
Ok, my suggested further steps for how you can ascertain information that will help you find the problem on your site:
1. Turn off all your plugins — not just those you think could interfere — just leaving BuddyPress activated
2. Switch to the bp-default theme
3. And to be extra safe — remove your bp-custom.php file
[You’ll probably want to do this on a mirror development environment, if you’ve already taken the site live]
If emails don’t work in this basic BuddyPress install, you know it is a problem with your hosting, general email setup or installation.
If emails do work, you know it is a problem in either your theme or your plugins. Try adding them back one by one, and test at each stage.
This comment sounds like a general WordPress / User Role Editor plugin issue, and not anything to do with BuddyPress – Have you asked on their forums?
BuddyPress provides a filter to let you do this.
If you look through the code for recording a post (hooked on save_post) in the bp-blogs component, you should be able to figure out how to use it.
Wow so many question and not a light on the horizon.
* Host: Hostgator
* Everything else works on the site
* All set up is correct after transfer
* I disabled all plugins that could interfere
* How do we create user account??? er…by clicking on create an account!
* No nothing exotic. Just basic buddypress and buddypress registration system.
* And yes that was a stupid question but i can check again for the email in the db.
Soooo…any other questions or may be an advice would be welcome?
I told you if you want the URL you are welcome to check it. My host is working on it at the moment but we are nowhere yet.
Thanks.
I want to check these out. Thanks!
Here are a few of my favorites…
BuddyPress Profile Privacy – Users can hide different parts of their profiles… very cool.
The following are not Buddypress but they seem very compatible so far.
AG Custom Admin This is Dashboard Editor and you can control what your members see.
I have cleaned up their dashboard – they no longer see the wordpress profile or the press this tool or other random plugin settings. You can do so much with this tool and completely customize the way the back end looks. I was amazed.
User Role Editor – You can add new roles and give and take away specific powers. I have made a new role based on the Author role and gave the new role category powers. The site I am building is a family recipe site and I wanted to allow them to add their name as a category and also different cooking terms. This plugin is also a nice way to view every detail of the standard roles in WordPress.
Search Everything – This plugin seems to help with searching… I wasn’t getting any results before installing but now everything comes up.
In 1.6 beta 2 https://buddypress.org/2012/07/buddypress-1-6-beta-2/ there is a facility to restrict visibility of profile fields to —-> Anyone, Logged In Users or My Friends.
In addition there is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-privacy/ for earlier versions of buddypress. This can restrict visibility of profile fields to —-> Everyone, My Friends, or Only Me
Hi
i was create a plugin Buddypress Notifications Manager – BpNM , you can disable email notifications for all members, or you can disable some others. you can enable or disable Email Notifications user access with the plugin too. the plugin work fine wp 3.4 and buddypress 1.5
you can download it and try it in your localhost.
:snip: – jjj
//Mod edit: this is an untested and unknown file only download and run at your own risk and not on a production site.
after enabling the plugin, go to Setting > BP Notifications
@1. Okay, thanks! I’ll try to see if that works later on today. I’m on an iPad right now…err actually i might be able to just search the plugin & install that way instead of manually uploading like i usually do. I’ll report back and letchu know how that works
P.S. I didn’t provide a username/pass test account, but i will if it doesn’t work.
@2. ohhhh, i didn’t know i needed multisite installation :p thanks for that 
@3. No i didn’t see a link, haven’t went to the “groups/create” URL, and i have group forums, and didn’t see “create new topic” though i shall check again.
@mercime Thank you so much for responding At first no one responded, so i basically gave up on anyone responding :p Anyways, thanks a bunch, i’ll try to respond a bit later.
Thanks for the response Paul. The php error log says the following
stderr: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_new_nav_item ()
This of course means the function can’t be found. What do I need to do for the buddypress function to be recognized? Thanks again!
Fact: BuddyPress does NOT copy the site administrator in on all emails that are sent out. So it’s something on your site.
How are you creating user accounts? As usual, through WordPress, or do you have an LDAP integration or something exotic? Have you confirmed (by looking in the wp_users table) that the email addresses are actually different (not meant to be a stupid question)?
I would ask how your host moved the database/site across, but you probably don’t have the details to hand. I asked because while I haven’t seen emails get messed up, I’ve seen site URLs and permalinks break. Does all regular WordPress content on the site seem to work?
What company provide your hosting?
Sharing user databases across multiple separate installs of WordPress can be complicated. I wouldn’t recommend for this purpose. I’m not sure BuddyPress even works in this configuration — it might, I’ve never tried.
