Thanks for the reply. Would you be able to go into further detail about what you mean by alternative sign-up page?

Ok. Before we play on your test server you need to contact your host and ask if you have SSH access to use a terminal. In the interim, we can try the concept out locally on your Mac.

How familiar are you with using the Terminal app? (it’s in Applications > Utilities) If not very, you’ll have to do some Googling to figure things out.

Open the Terminal app. Type these 2 commands:

cd ~/Desktop
svn co https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/trunk BuddyPress

That last command might take a couple of minutes. It’ll download a copy of BP trunk. Look at your desktop, and you’ll find a folder called “BuddyPress” containing… BP trunk

Then wait for the BuddyPress team to do a new update to trunk. Easiest way to do this is keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/log and remember what “Rev” it’s up to. When you spot an update, open Terminal again:

cd ~/Desktop/BuddyPress
svn up

“svn up” is an “update” command. It figures out what SVN revision your checkout of BuddyPress is on, compares that to the version on the server (it remembers what URL you fetched it from originally), and then downloads and applies any updates automatically.

This is the method I like doing on my servers, so maybe see if it works out for you.

@enderpal444 – thanks for posting your solution – that’s the sort of approach I was suggesting as ‘two pass’ – getting all the users unsorted, then sorting them, before iterating over them.

Efficiency might become an issue if your member numbers increase.

Plaza is a very nice website – it’s also a significant custom development.

Are you a skilled PHP developer with solid WordPress development experience (writing custom post types, taxonomies, url rewrites and such like)?

If you have those development skills (and in the case of Plaza – some strong design skills as well) or are willing to hire them in, then yes, BuddyPress is a suitable underlying platform to build the user profiles on, and to provide a backbone where you can unify their reviews and hotel submissions.

I use wp super cache. however got an issues with logging out sometimes. when i log out it it gets me redirected to the front page but it still looks as if i’m logged in. when i go to another page it shows i’m logged out. I think it is because of wp super cache. but for the rest it works great.

For that, you’re best to ask on the http://bbpress.org forums.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/ can redirect to 3 different locations after login. 1. Personal Profile / Personal Activity Page 2. Site wide Activity 3. Friends’ Activity

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-with-ajax/ this plugin’s settings allows you go to any particular page OR to the current users particular page on login & on logout if you use %USERNAME% — its on the settings page

Are there any plugins which allow attachments and an editor on the sitewide?

Did you install WordPress with a one click installer from your host? If so the directory may not have permissions set to allow BuddyPress to create folders and add images to your server

Not sure what you’re after. Something like https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-groups-loop/ ?

Hey there,

Would you please help me out a bit with this one?

I have installed Buddypress on a brand new site using the Default theme.
When a visitor creates an account on the site, they do not show up as members. When I go in through my dashboard, I find them listed as subscribers. How do I get Members on the site that can join Groups?

I’m having a problem with the registration page. When I type in the url imgmatters.com/walkforasl/register, it takes me to the home page (imgmatters.com/walkforasl) Same thing when I clicked the ‘view’ button on BuddyPress’ interface (in WordPress) to view the register page.

Looks good! Could you please tell me how to modify the twenty eleven theme for buddypress like you did?

Hi All,

I don’t think that this actually is a buddypress problem. I don’t use BP and on a site I am looking at for the owner the comments don’t work. I have deactivated all plug-ins and used the standard Twenty Ten theme but they do not want to open up (oh yes I have changed the setting to enable the comments to be active). I have a 3.3 site and there it works fine on this 3.4 site it don’t

So I rather think that this is a WP issue than a BP issue.
On the other hand with software you never know….

When you say default are you pasting from YouTube (getting the url) or using a plugin to add them into BuddyPress? I ask because a plugin could mean a different route needs to be taken.

sorry i misunderstood, i’m not english, i thought banner == header…

This is an example for the activity/index.php template : the hook just under the activity page title is :
`bp_before_directory_activity_content`

so in the functions.php of your active theme, you can add something like this :

`add_action(‘bp_before_directory_activity_content’, ‘i_do_not_want_custom_header’);

function i_do_not_want_custom_header(){
?>

<?php
}`

I’m sure you’ll find the right hooks to add your ‘narrow photo’ in the other BuddyPress templates..

I too am noticing this behaviour, specifically with apostrophes – I haven’t tested other special characters.

I am using latest versions (WordPress 3.4, Buddypress 1.5.6 and BuddyPress Group Email Subscription 3.1.2)

Hello @valuser

Yes it can be done for tags. The trouble with your snippet is that you’re calling a function that doesn’t exist in WordPress : get_the_post_tag() !! So i adapted your function using this one https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_tags and instead of tag ids i think it’s more convenient to use tag slugs :

function do_not_record_this_tag( $post_id, $post ){

/* this is the array that contains the category to exclude */
$tag_slugs_to_exclude = array( 'exclude' );

if ( 'publish' != $post->post_status )
return false;

$post_tags = get_the_tags( $post_id );
$in = false;

if( !empty( $post_tags ) ) {

foreach ( $post_tags as $post_tag ) {
if( in_array( $post_tag->slug, $tag_slugs_to_exclude ) )
$in = true;

}

/* if the post has at least one excluded tag, then we remove the BuddyPress hook that records an activity */
if( $in )
remove_action( 'save_post', 'bp_blogs_record_post', 10, 2 );

}

}

add_action( 'save_post', 'do_not_record_this_tag', 9, 2 );

if you prefer id then replace the tag slugs by ids in the array $tag_slugs_to_exclude and replace $post_tag->slug by $post_tag->term_id

Tried this but it stopped everything getting to the activity stream

function do_not_record_this_tag( $post_id, $post ){

/* this is the array that contains the category to exclude */
$ids_to_exclude = array( 4 );

if ( 'publish' != $post->post_status )
return false;

$post_tags = get_the_post_tag( $post_id );
$in = false;

if( count($post_tags) > 0 ) {

foreach ( $post_tags as $post_tag ) {
if( in_array( $post_tag->tag_ID, $ids_to_exclude) )
$in = true;

}
/* if the post has at least one excluded category, then we remove the BuddyPress hook that records an activity */
if( $in )
remove_action( 'save_post', 'bp_blogs_record_post', 10, 2 );

}

}

add_action( 'save_post', 'do_not_record_this_tag', 9, 2 );

any ideas ???
