@charlietech,
sorry to jump in, theyre is a plugin, BP Reshare, who lets your community members share activities inside the community.
https://github.com/imath/bp-reshare (tested on 1.7 bleeding. Works also perfect on 1.6.5)
No it won’t, ‘Sharing’ is really something handled by third party plugins.
Maybe you can explore the possibilities of taking over the plugin, or maybe employing a developer to look into getting it updated ?
Hello,
We have just launched the GiftBar widget in the plugin store. This plugin increases user activity on your social networks and also serves as a new source of revenue for you that does not rely on advertising.

[edit-no shortlinks please. changed link to WP plugin repo link. ~~ mercime]
Try it out and let us know what you think!
I seen that mode have discontinue bp share it, I was wondering why? is 1.7 going to have icons already built in the actiivty feed for sharing?
Hey there,
I was trying to make certain elements from buddypress(activity stream, profile) more user friendly with my responsive layout. Where would do i go to code such a thing? is there any articles that somebody can recommend? Would I use css for majority of the responsive layout?
This is a premium plugin so its not free.
Signup Code
Is there a plugin so it makes people ask to become a member? and or that will allow me to also send out just invites? I am using Invite plug in now, and I have restricted 90 % of my site using s2 plugin, but i don’t want people to have to pay so it is in free mode for now.
Can I make a landed page where people email me permission to join? After they are a member they can use my Invite plugin on my home page to invite their friends to join.
Any Ideas
@1two3 suggestion noted.
Thank you all. Project ideas have been compiled. Deadline for application is tomorrow.
April 8 19:00 UTC: List of accepted mentoring organizations will be published on the Google Summer of Code 2013 site.
Having the same problem as sienteastu – anyone have a solution to this?
There’s a need for a Moodle style plugin (http://moodle.com/) to set up courses and quizzes, perhaps along the lines of https://www.coursera.org/.
@mercime
I also disabled all plugins and tested and it still does not work with all of the plugins disabled. I tried a fresh installation in a test wordpress site as well and still the same issue. I’m using the Responsive theme by themeid with a buddypress child theme.
I also tried 1.7 with the responsive theme (no child theme) and had the same issue so something in the Responsive theme seems to be the culprit, but I’m not sure where to go next to troubleshoot it. I suspect its an ajax issue but not sure.
I’d rather not start over with a new theme as I’ve spent a ton of time customizing this one.
@ashenkargmailcom
considering disabling the announcement section of the group altogether – does that sound reasonable ?
If the group members should use the group discussion forum, YES !
FYI we probably all experienced about this point.
User never read the FAQ
User never fill in forms correctly
User never do what they are expected to do.
Never trust users !
Don’t hesitate: deactivate !
How ? Read here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/turn-off-updates-on-activity-page/
Why do yo search in 1.2 RC ?
Since a few hours, BP is RC1 for 1.7 version.
If you use the latest stable upgrade, search better here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.5
@brycechristiansen, can you give more details please ?
BP + bbP version ?
Forum settings: standalone or group forums or both ?
Also do you know that bbPress and buddypress are two separate plugins ? With two separate support forum ?

https://buddypress.org/support/
@fede1, as you activated bbPress and allowed group forums, bbPress will use the bp template (out of the box, it’s bp-default). So i wonder witch template you really want to activate ?
Maybe read this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-edit-bbpress-template-files-wordpress-buddypress-bbpress/
and ask also on the bbPress Forum.
Hi I’m having a problem with my buddypress forums.
I’m able to create forum topics and view the topics I’ve created. But no one else who’s on the site can view the topics.
How do I make my topics visible?
See screenshots below to see what I’m talking about.
Here you can see the topics.

Here’s what shows up once I click on one of the topics.

The post is hidden and all it shows is the option to reply.
Any thoughts on what’s causing this?
There are a couple options.
BP-Media by rtCamp takes all user uploads and places into the Media Library. The plugin is okay, but had some issues with our Theme. It’s free with premium modules available for video transcoding.
The plugin you want probably is BP-Gallery from Buddydev. This is NOT BP-Gallery plus from the wordpress.org site. BP-Gallery has a centralized gallery page that shows uploads from all accounts on one page you specify in the buddypress pages settings like you do activity/register/activate/etc.. It is a premium plugin that costs $30 to access, but of all the media plugins I’ve found it has caused the least number of headaches. The biggest problem I had was changing a few lines of a code to better match our theme, but it was fairly painless.
@fpats, normally, you don’t have to use the template pack with 1.7
So far i know there was a bug in 1.7 beta concerning this point. (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4897)
Reload BP from trunk, it’s now in RC1 version
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk
@tbermudas,
there are many free and premium plugins. But as you are a WP/BP beginner i would suggest you to make you first an opinion by reading specially this forum ddicated to BP Media (aka bp-album):
BP Media
and also here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/has-this-project-been-abandoned/
@fernon,
add this to bp-custom.php /plugins/bp-custom.php (i you don’t such file you have to create it first)
define( 'BP_SETTINGS_SLUG', 'settings' );
//Change "settings" to what you want.

Hello
I’m migrating from Ning to wordpress+buddypress and I need to know if there are any plugin to create photo albums where any registered user can upload photos and comment it.
I have tried some plugins, but they not centralize the photos. Are only accesible from every member profile page.
I’m looking for the same for videos.
Thanks for your help. I’m introducing myself in the wordpress world… And it’s not easy!
Can anyone help with this? We’re going to have to uninstall Buddypress if it can’t be fixed which i really don’t want to do 🙁
