BuddyPress.org

That was a similar bug in bp v1.7.0 which was fixed in v 1.7.1 see: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/white-line-under-head-menu/#post-163065

You could try the ‘temporary’ fix for that bug: http://pastebin.com/sSBGjPNi in your child theme’s functions.php file…

I don’t really know the code that well to be sure I’m being accurate, though, especially if the codex is instructing people to make changes to core files.

The author answer means that the plugin works only with group forums ?!!!

So you have to search another rating widget who works with bbPress or create it yourself or to configure your buddypress to use group forums instead of a standalone forum.

But as bbP is fully post typed, have you tried to use the plugin’s shortcode ?

hi @4ella,

read here (published on march 2013…): http://wpmu.org/how-to-create-a-custom-buddypress-members-directory/
Step 7 explains how to make a 3 col grid on the members directory. Wouldn’t be difficult to transform in a 2 col grid i guess 😉

hi @ebarney,

is there any chance these codex pages could get updated?

Depends of you! Anybody can contribute to the Codex. 😉 It wworks like a wiki and you can edit each page you want.

Hi @henrywright-1,

i guess you can also filter by group profile ID

<?php if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=2') ) : 
echo bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Email' )
endif;

if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=45') ) : 
echo bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Email' )
endif;
?>

If you installed bbpress on WP, you have a standalone forum configuration ! So no matter if you installed it before BuddyPress. 😉

Have you group forums ?

What is the not working voting-widget plugin you speak about ? Give an URL please.

What BP/WP version do you use ?
What is your theme ?

I have been having the same issue and it looks like I might have a solution – I’ll at least post what steps I’ve taken and what documentation I based them on. I am running WordPress 3.5.1 as a multisite subdirectory installation on a WIMP server.

I read over this page of documentation that seems to apply to the situation, and I added the
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, # ) line to the wp-config.php file in the root directory.
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

That didn’t solve it, so I went back to read over this page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
I find the references to WPMU kind of confusing, since that hasn’t been used since before 3.0, I thought. And when I looked for the “bp-custom.php” file, I don’t see it anywhere in the recent installation. I found some of the same lines in the bp-loader.php file, but changes to that file didn’t change anything, since it seemed to be looking for a multiblog setting fist.

So I went to this page and read through it:
https://codex.buddypress.org/bp_enable_multiblog/
That lead me to add this line to my wp-config.php file:
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

I removed the changes I’d made to the bp-loader.php file to be sure there wouldn’t be problems later.

With both lines added to the wp-config.php file, I was finally able to go to this page and see the pages that belonged to the subsite rather than the root blog: {websiteurl}wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings. I will need to check to see what changes this makes to the rest of my blogs, but at least we have a test site running Buddypress now.

Also, is there any chance these codex pages could get updated? There are all kinds of references to multisite or network or WMPU that are not entirely clear and, as I mention above, there are instructions to open files in the buddypress install that don’t exist by those names anymore.

I don’t want to hijack your topic. But. I am looking for buddypress support in Hong Kong and wondered whether you know of other buddypress users in Hong Kong. If so, Please let me know on giles @ xtrain.biz.

Many thanks

You can use the procedures from this tutorial:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/
You could have a different logged out menu in which you could include the register link.

@dmd54
If your a beginner you should have just used the register page and changed the name tile to “Sign Up” and changed the slug of that same page to “sign-up.” Learn a bit more and get versed in the codex before you start customizing and changing things so much since you are a beginner. Basically you need to learn to crawl before you walk. Don’t jump into the deep end until you have some basic strokes! After all your on localhost so that is where you perfect things before putting it on a live server so study the codex, and have fun!

@jimahrens
These two plugins handle video different so make sure to read the descriptions and choose the one that best fits your requirement.

Nope. Manual install. Like I said, I’ve been running this for a couple years as a side project, never had a problem until 1.7.2. I’m not sure if you read both of my comments…

Anyway, My current installation of BuddyPress did not create any database tables. Other than manually creating them, I have no idea how to fix it or even why it is happening suddenly.

I’ve even installed the bleeding edge BP, and it too didn’t create any tables. There is something odd going on and I’ll have to hunt it down and/or start over from nothing. Very frustrating. Thanks for trying.

@bottleinfrontomy start at the beginning.
– Hopefully, you did not install WP with webhost’s one-click install as that is not kosher with BuddyPress installs where you need to have full control of your site
– Deactivate all plugins, change to Twenty Twelve theme and then activate BuddyPress.
– Go to Settings > BuddyPress and configure Components, Pages, and Settings
– If everything’s working as expected in front end – registration, group creation, etc., activate your plugins – make sure they’ve been upgraded to latest WP BP versions.
– Final step, activate your theme of choice

@hellen83 The problem is in your installation. BuddyPress does not append /forum to a newly created group’s home page. Basic troubleshooting: deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to Twenty Twelve theme or BP Default theme. Then create a group.
