BuddyPress.org

Yes, use a PHP conditional statement to check whether they are logged in and include the appropriate code.

As @modemlooper points out, it’s straightforward work for a web developer, but does require knowledge of PHP, HTML and CSS

@mercime thanks for the response…

I do have membership enabled in settings > general as I already said I did.

It’s a new buddypress installation so no, was never able to upload & crop an avatar before as this is the first time I tried.

Yes, I can upload, crop etc images everywhere else.

New installation of both wordpress and buddypress – installed both yesterday.

From time to time, we hear reports of this. No-one has figured out if it’s a theme issue, or a plugin issue, or a BuddyPress issue, or some sort of WordPress config issue. I’ve never been able to recreate it, nor have the other core developers, which suggests it’s something outside of BuddyPress or the BP-Default theme.

Hmm bp-upm is me but I did recently upgrade it to work with 1.6 and haven’t spotted any issues, but will have a look again when there’s a moment, (possibly I got network paths wrong – do hate trying to figure out multi site admin)

Developers deserve huge credit.

Testing on a local install.

Child theme of bp-default.

bp multi network.

Forums for Groups.

70+ plugins simultaneously (list at http://pastebin.com/0FmZgbrk). Mainly buddypress plugins – some old.

All well so far

Obviously there are hundreds/thousands of other plugins – just didn’t get round to them –yet.

a) With bp-upm (a major plugin imho) -perfect in single install, in multi-install settings do not appear in dashboard but access can be got through http://mydomain.dev/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-upm-settings. Could just be on this installation.

b) Also haven’t really tested bp-mass-messaging or mass messaging for buddypress (2 plugins) though they both turn up and appear to be ok.

You guys and the volunteers here have normalized the expectation that anybody of average intelligence with access to a computer can create a sophisticted scalable social network in a few hours.

How cool is that!

Thank you.

== i want to integrate buddypress with templatic theme ==

You need to install BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

== But is it possible to add buddypress network as a wordpress page??i ==

BuddyPress is not a single Page proposition, The plugin contains components (like you see on home page https://buddypress.org/) rendered as Pages in a site. Check out http://testbp.org/

As I mentioned in instructions

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

… which includes all the 16 template files and more. Make revisions, Then upload the 6 BP folders with the revised files into your server wp-content/themes/chameleon.

@tiagobeloto If you find a bug, create a ticket on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org.

For other feedback, or if you’re not sure you found a bug, make a topic here, and write “1.6” in the title so we can more easily see it. Or write it on http://bpdevel.wordpress.com

Thanks for help testing

No, BuddyPress or bbPress 1.0 doesn’t have any short codex. The short codes you refer to are part of bbPress 2.

Just curious, what percentage of those members would you consider spam accounts?

Edit: Presumably a ton since there are 75,000 members but only around 5k Facebook likes and under 10k Twitter followers. Or is your renamed login page and captcha helping immensely?

== So why does Settings-BuddyPress-Forums still have an install button ? ==

@shanebp I agree. Will you do the honors to raise this in trac?

== And do we really need a separate bbPress plugin for site-wide forums? ==

Yes

== I’ve assigned it to Discussion Forums in bp-settings – Pages ==

If you’re not going to use Group Forums, disable the component in BP 1.6beta1 in Settings > BuddyPress > Components – uncheck Discussion Forums and Save. You don’t need to assign Sitewide Forums Page in BuddyPress > Pages. Just add the Sitewide forums slug in the custom menu.

In Settings > Forums, if you’re using “Forums” as slug, then create a page named “Forums” then add the forums shortcode/s you prefer https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

== no registration page and have membership enabled. ==
@labeshops You need to enable Registration in dashboard menu Settings > General

== Also noticed I get errors trying to change the avatar – says there was an error cropping it, please try again.==
1. Trying to change the avatar –> you mean you were able to upload and crop avatar before?
2. Are you able to upload and crop images in Pages > Add New or Posts > Add New panel?
3. Is this a new installation or did you upgrade from previous versions of BP/WP?

hey thats not a nice response.

I wont do it for you but the steps required are:

Learn how to create page templates in WordPress.
Create a custom page template that includes the BuddyPress login code. You can get this from sidebar.php.
Choose your page template as the front page in the WordPress admin.

These all require knowledge of CSS and HTML at minimum. You basically remove the wordpress loop and sidebar code from the page template and then fill it in with the login form code. Style it with CSS to make it look how you want.

This has been brought up in the forums before. I recall some causes to pre-filled profile fields in registration page:
– plugin conflict with an SEO plugin and a captcha plugin – can’t recall specifically which ones but deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress, then activating plugins by batches of three helped them identify the culprit/s.
– theme conflict where theme added options for SEO and the like

== This problem started after I installed pie-register, ==
Pie register is not compatible with BuddyPress.

== before installing that plugin, users were redirected to homepage ==
Were you using a custom theme or a members-only or privacy plugin during that time?

== but after I finish with deactivating procedure, where will I be able to check registration process? ==
Log out first. Then click on the link “Create an account” on the right sidebar of the default theme using a different email address.

Hi @creaturis,

I think the best solution is to avoid recording an activity if the post has one of the category you want to exclude from activity stream, in the functions.php file of your active theme, you can try this code :

function do_not_record_this_category( $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;

$categories = get_the_category( $post_id );
$in = false;

if( count($categories) > 0 ) {

foreach ( $categories as $category ) {

if( in_array( $category->cat_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_category', 9, 2 );

In 1.6 you can set the visibility of profile fields to logged in users, friends or anyone. I haven’t seen the behavior you’re describing.
