Thank you 🙂 no problem.
and regarding Boone Gorges statment….?
@dukesw I’d revert to 1.2 database backup first.
– Deactivate BuddyPress and change to WP default theme.
– Upgrade to WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5
– Upgrade to WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.6
– Upgrade to latest WP and BP versions
– Then if you’d like to try out Theme Compat, upgrade to BP 1.7 RC 1
Thanks mercime
I was really interested on what moebis posted there even for testing purposes but i could not find out where exactly to hack that code, You know?
For now I´ll stay with the default buddypress forum instead plus that very nice plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/ and another one to attach some images on forum´s topics. i guess they´ll do trick 😉
<code>Multiple forums per BuddyPress Group is started in bbPress, but likely won’t be finished for several months.</code>
And that said let´s wait for the leadres.
Once more thank you
Ps. I´ve heard from Boone Gorges ( http://www.youtube.com/embed/PTNdMn8rGlg ) that native buddypress forums will not get updated anymore but i don´t think it will be just cutted off from bp 1.7.xx and further. What you think?
hello there,
I’m having some problems pulling the avatars from ” WordPress / Buddypress over to Arrowchat.
We currently are using all current versions of WordPress / Buddypress / Arrowchat and have not messed with the php in anyway.
I have looked through all the admin panels to make sure that all the settings are turned on for avatars and everything seems to be working properly.
Once the user creates an account and uploads their avatar it will not show up in the chat bar. It refers back to the default ” avatar ”
I woudl like to think its a simple error in the php but then again in the php its calling you if the user does not have an avatar use the default image. So im kinda lost right now and there seems not to be much documentation on this. Any help would be much appreciated
here is out website url

BuddyPress most likely will never solve everyone’s complex customization issues. I think the core team has done a fantastic job so far and there is going to be certain things you want in BP but it just isn’t a requirement for functionality of the software overall. That is were developers come into play. To extend the software above its core functions. If the core development team integrated every little change every user desired then they would struggle to release updates. I am grateful for all they have done and sometimes you gotta do a little work on your own to get the required result. Just my two cents worth!
Well, I’d like to keep the reviews and the conversations separate for a few reasons.
(1) People who go to a movie review site might not necessarily want to read the conversation or be part of a “group”.
(2) I want to use some kind of AJAX filtering where people can sort the reviews dynamically, I’m not sure how easy it would be to configure BuddyPress to use custom AJAX filtering (if there is, I’d love to hear about it, might convince me to just use groups from the start). If I have several hundred movie reviews, and they each have a group, can I do some organizing/filtering based on genre, date of release, etc?
@lostone84 No right sidebar code posted as the request was for full width with the BP Template Pack.
If you’re on test site, you should already download BP 1.7 RC 1 -> https://buddypress.org/2013/03/buddypress-1-7-release-candidate-1/ which has theme compatibility with most WordPress themes without BP Template Pack.
In other words, if the code in your theme’s page.php is up to par with WP standards and correct coding practices, then you’re good to go. The only way to find out is to test the theme first. I would deactivate BP Template Pack and delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your theme’s folder in server if you already went through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.
Good luck, I hope BP 1.7 Theme Compat works out in your theme.
Please use the job board for this site:

@mercime did you happen to post the code anywhere for buddypress to fit with this theme with the right sidebar?
Why posts and not just use the groups from the start?
Ahh, much better. Now I can start playing with BuddyPress.
Thanks very much!

Got it! a much cleaner solution. This goes in functions.php:
add_filter(‘bp_activity_can_comment’,’__return_false’);

Say you wanted to have a movie review website, where each WordPress Post is about a specific movie, and you want to create a whole discussion/group around that movie via a BuddyPress Group. Is there an easy way to automatically create a BuddyPress Group when you make a new WordPress Post? Perhaps the BuddyPress Group would share the same title as the WordPress Post.
To take it a step further, can you use attributes of the BuddyPress Group within WordPress Posts? For example, displaying a link to the BuddyPress group at the bottom of the WordPress Post, or members of the group to let people reading the review know who is already discussing it, or showing the last BuddyPress Forum Post in the WordPress Post?
You need a / after home, i think. I can connect to http://timvangompel.nl/home/index.php?bp_xmlrpc=true so a setting of `http://timvangompel.nl/home/` should work.
Also, 0.3 seems to be on wp.org, but it still reads 0.2.2 the download link seems correct though:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress-xml-rpc-receiver.0.3.0.zip
Also, I have just updated the server plugin’s latest stable tag to 0.3.0, Once it shows on wordpress.org, please update the plugin to 0.3.0 and try again.
@synaptic,
such a plugin already exist for buddypress. Give a try:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-moderation
The’re also some fix on the support forum
I’m looking for a plugin which would allow regular BP members to mark another member or their contributions as spam. The result wouldn’t be to automatically ban or erase the spam marked action but rather to flag it as spam and then have admins look at a list once it reaches a pre-set threshold.
So for example, if 10 users mark a post or comment as spam, then it goes on the list of possible spam for the admins to look over and they then decide. In effect you’re crowd sourcing spam detection. Disqus has a similar feature where anyone can use the ‘flag’ symbol to notify moderators or admins that a comment is inappropriate or spam. See this for more: http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466224-flagging-comments
I found this plugin, but it has only part of the functions I’m looking. It gives the admins the ability to mark as spam:
One Click Mark Spammer for BuddyPress
If you are just trying things out please use:
BuddyPress 1.7 – Release Candidate 1
Version 1.7 will offer theme compatibility and work with most WP themes. At the moment you would need to do some template modifications to get things to work with your theme.
If you have already begun the template pack process remove any BP files/folders copied over to your theme.
I am giving BuddyPress a try on my site and I’m having a problem getting it to fit correctly with my theme. I have tried to understand/follow the directions here but because of my lack of knowledge and general inexperience with this type of thing, I’m not exactly comfortable with what I’m supposed to edit. I am using the Voyage theme on my site and you can see the problem here. I am using WordPress 3.5.1 and BuddyPress 1.6.5.
If anyone could get me pointed in the direction, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
-Chris
Can you give me your site url?
P.S, I’v renamed the folder already as mentiond earlyer in this topic
1. I have the last version of the plugin in the wordpress list, is this the correct one, or must I use the version on github?
2. Do you mean that my site adress could not be mysite.com/home?
@djpaul Looking forward to the new release! It looks great, good work as always. 🙂
