– “On the secondary site i’m using Angus by epicthemes” == so you installed and activated BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme, Angus, compatible with BP. Can you post to pastebin.com the full code of your angus/groups/create.php file?
– Have you tried changing to bp-default theme, and check if issue is corrected.
– Re plugins – deactivate BP-specific plugins sitewide and Options Framework v1.0 for the BuddyPress site and see if issue is corrected.
>members posting stuff too
It’s tricky on mobile devices, but doable.
You’ll want to use the BP mobile theme for those or build your own.
Apple Safari doesn’t allow uploading, so you have to use a workaround like Aurigma Up.
@modemlooper says he built an app that does the same thing and he’s considering releasing an unbrandable version with a site license – I for one sure hope he does.
Android allows uploads but things like the avatar crop tool won’t work, afaik.
We built a custom avatar upload page with auto-crop for Android as part of our custom mobile theme.
Hopefully you’re lucky enough to have a client that actually understands what is involved when they say they want a ‘facebook’.
@roxor If you mean 10 WP installations with their own respective DB’s then no.
Alternatives:
1. If it’s just the posts, then you can set up RSS feeds for the 10 in your WP/BP installation in one WP install without BuddyPress so that the links to aggregated posts will show up in a page or over a number of pages.
2. You could also create a single Network out of one of the 10 WP installs, create the subsites, install Domain Mapping plugin, then install BuddyPress plugin, then import other WP sites one by one as subsites into the multisite installation. https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
There is one instance of BP for a multisite installation, so as @aces pointed above, you can enable multiblog so that you don’t have to navigate to main site to post in activity or forums, etc.
3. You could also create a Multi-Network out of one of the 10 WP installs and have multiple instances of BuddyPress with BP Social Networks, import remaining 9 WP sites as a network into the multi-network installation. The multiple instances of BuddyPress in this case are separate i.e., don’t overlap activities, memberships, groups, etc. http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/
Thanks for the input, but I still can’t seem to get things working.
I tried to change the .bind(‘load’) to .ready(‘load’) but that didn’t help, and I still can’t seem to resolve this conflict.
I’ve noticed this same behavior on many uptodate buddypress instals when coupled with themes that have jquery sliders in them. Any other ideas?
MAN I am sure glad I tried changing BACK my .htacess rules from what you gave me back to what I had before, which what I had before is what WP says is correct, not what you said. Now my theme problem is fixed. Why the he++ did you do that to me? Jeeez. What I get for listening to a non-support person I guess. The other thing that got me in trouble with BP was following the advice on this very website in How To Delete BuddyPress which told me to delete database files.
And none of this has gotten me any closer to a solution. Anyone different besides Hugo that is?
Very nice.
I also liked Eco Living.
And thanks for the technical features info.
But would you mind sharing some details about your hosting environment?
Such as:
Number of servers & size of.
Database – sharded / replicated?
Any particular issues you had scaling up to 64k members?
There are more ‘large’ BP sites out there now.
It be great to collect dev info about scaling up, maybe even create a page hosted here about it.
For example, we have 25k users.
It’s going well, but scaling is an ongoing process.
When we first moved to a load balancer, we couldn’t distribute the load until we figured out that BP makes a lot of calls to ajax files in the wp-admin dir.
We had to add varnish rules so that wp-admin calls went to the master, but public site ajax calls could go to any webhead.
Hi, thanks for replying, any pointers on profiling queries? lol.
I have added images to the users profile, so I suppose people could be going to other members profiles to look at their images (I haven’t yet put any paging in).
BP does bring a lot of additional queries into the mix, so can increase load (sometimes dramatically as you’ve experienced).. but often there are optimisations you can try to overcome this (some server configuration, but others in your template code loops).
Try profiling your database queries – that may give you some pointers to where the load on the system is coming from. Your top member lists (number of images, etc.) might be a likely candidate in how they interact with the BP profiles.
Not sure where to start with this, but the `-2-2` problem reminds me of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2642. Note that that ticket had to do with a very specific problem which is, I think, different from yours in the details, but may have the same root issue. As an experiment, try commenting out the following line in `bp-members/bp-members-functions.php`:
`add_action( ‘pre_user_login’, ‘bp_core_strip_username_spaces’ );`
We have job postings and different user roles running on a couple of our BuddyPress based websites.
Essentially though, it’s a task that requires a skilled developer, rather than being a simple configuration.
You’ll need a bespoke build – in our case, we have our own custom post types for jobs, use WordPress user roles & capabilities to differentiate between user types, and ‘hook’ them in to BuddyPress as a new component. For the bells and whistles, we also integrate payments and cron jobs to monitor and tidy up when job ads expire.
or is their any plugin that could synchronize between buddypress and different installations of WP.
It should push WP posts to the buddypress.
That’s nice…but I need it now:)
Can I just take info from one database table and import into new table? I did’t have chance to study it yet. but any advice in this direction will come in handy…
OK, now I reverted all the database tables I edited, and the problems remains. There must be something wrong with the installation then.
What is the best thing for me to do? Remove buddypress completely and install it once more?
Ive worked with Joomla, Drupal, and tested pretty much ALL CMS, I found buddypress is easy to config. (once you learn your way around it.)
As for as the global blog, I found a plugin that allows front page posting ( you could put this in a page as Post a Job listing, and acually make a custom page to display different types of jobs. (ex, computers, part time, full time) and have that as a required option for the blog posting.
I wish you best of luck to your site! 
Sorry for the late reply.
I built a page template for the activity page (activity page as the home page) using a IF user is logged in locate template mustlogin.php
I took the login bar from the buddypress widget and placed it in the template.
Same thing with the /register page.
Also, I tested a recent buddypress site and the passwords weren’t sent over https.
the problem was I created a template.
Once I get time I’ll dig more into it and place the codes of the mistake.
I will have them posted by tomorrow if you want.
@hnla
Appreciate that @yadigit
I really like what I’ve seen so far, but I haven’t been able to configure buddypress exactly for what I want. Maybe I haven’t got a good enough handle on how it works yet.
I have spent a couple days looking for a plugin that would give me something like that, but haven’t found one. Also I haven’t found a way that I can have a global blog and allow some members to be able to post to it or a plug in that will allow members to upload documents (just work on group docs together or upload other rich media).
I’m interested in continuing to work with buddypress and find a fun project to do something with it, but for this project I’m leaning towards Joomla! with a job component (built in integration for recruitment sites w/ features like resume builder etc…)
Hopefully someone makes something like this for Buddypress soon – maybe one day I’ll be able to!
Seems like a very promising platform, but perhaps the programming community needs to catch up to it’s potential.
Thanks again for your suggestion.
Buddypress is always the right way to go.
I do suggest buddypress.
In your case I would use a plugin that allows users to pick a group to join during registering.
1) Employer
2)Job seeker
From there you can enable forums in the group that will act as posting for employers.
That’s just a quick though off the top of my head.
Buddypress if the quickest and fastest way to do something like that.
I wouldn’t suggest any other way.
ok, seriously stumped on this one. visited a bunch of sites that tell you how to change the admin bar, and looked at base BuddyPress files and have no idea how to add site-wide notifications to the BuddyBar. Anyone have any clues?
There is something wrong with your register page as, I think, it should have Name ( at least ) as a required field under the profile details section.
If I click on ‘complete sign up’ without filling anything in then it redirects to the front page whearas I think it should stay on the same page but with error messages.
Is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/ the plugin that you mentioned in the other topic?
I wonder if it is compatible with buddypress. Buddypress is quite particular about it’s permalinks….. If you disable page-links-to, do you get the profile details content on the register page then?
It could be something else to do with permalinks and the .htaccess file that should be in the same directory as the wp-config.php file.
The usual method for diagnosing issues is to disable all plugins and revert to bp-default. If it then works one can start to reactivate plugins and theme until something goes wrong – ie the last thing you reactivated would be the chief suspect!
Hi @aces
I have tried, but it doesn’t work. Is there any files which i need to change?
Regards
