BuddyPress.org

In one sentence I’m being sensitive, in the next you’re never posting here again. Hm.

The issues you bring up now aren’t with the site, they are with trying to commingle your support with BuddyPress.org support. Your post above contradicts your earlier post, and I’m confused at what exactly you think we could do differently to improve your experience.

Don’t think I’m immune to the basis of the challenges you’re talking about. Between the .org sites, Twitter, Facebook, Skype, IRC, and email, everyone wants help from every angle up to and including my personal Facebook account. It’s up to you to set appropriate limits and filter support where you want it most.

If the BuddyPress Group Forum didn’t work for you, that doesn’t mean the whole site sucks. Even if it does, what do you suggest we do to make it better? What iterations do you recommend we make to make it the best site we can? It’s our site, we’re free to experiment.

What theme are you using? Have you changed back to bp-default theme to check if issue is corrected there? Did you disable Account Settings and/or other components in BuddyPress > Components?

I don’t understand. There was never a list of preferred plugin forums before, and I don’t see a compelling reason for there to be now. No third party plugin deserves front and center on a site that’s dedicated to supporting itself.

If your forum has more traffic, it isn’t because it’s on the first page of anything; it’s because you’re using it for its intended purpose and have paid employees to staff it. Even if I’m wrong and those aren’t valid enough reasons, core BuddyPress components don’t even have their own dedicated forums; why would BP-Media take any precedence over BuddyPress’s own core?

@modemlooper – If you weren’t an admin in your own group, you could have asked any one of us whom you talk to daily to fix that for you.

@foxly – Are you talking about https://buddypress.org/community/groups/ ? If so, the page is still there but hidden from te UI for now. Your plugin still shows up in /extend/plugins/ just like everyone else’s does; what more do you expect to happen?

Overall, the general responses from you both are to not let any good deed go unpunished. Anything that changes and you’re there to criticize why it ‘SUCKS’ or some other thing is exponentially better. There’s a line where feedback becomes toxic, and you’re both walking it.

@skimpy2 if you’re referring to the Group Hierarchy plugin, then do post at plugin’s forum which the plugin dev checks out https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-hierarchy/forum/

@hiresphereadmin hasn’t this been resolved along with your pages? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/pages-not-found-3/

Go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages and save

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/ ?

It’s documented in functions code.
– Build a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– To change header height/width, create a functions.php in child theme folder and apply filters per https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L91
– To change `#header h1`, in same child theme’s functions.php you’ll override parent theme’s function (lines 213 to 270) at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php with:
`function bp_dtheme_admin_header_style() {
?>

// add/revise styles you see in file

<?php
}`

hmmmm…..I’m wondering if you’re referring to the “buddybar” or “dashboard.” If you have Buddypress installed, you can go to your dashboard and scroll down till you see “buddypress” and adjust certain settings here….or you can go into “appearance” and change certain items here. I’m sorry, I want to help, I’m just not sure I’m understanding your question correctly.

I installed Buddypress a while ago and don’t remember a “link,” so I’m not sure about the “wizard” you’re talking about. But you can try downloading the latest version of buddypress from this site and uploading it to your server……just clear your server out of the old one first, then do a fresh, clean install from your downloaded file. Run a virus scan on the file (after download), then you can be sure you’re getting a clean download.

@mercime

Also, just send me an email at the address listed on my BP profile, and I’ll get you set up with access to the spreadsheet.

^F^

@dwenaus @mercime

Well, a good starting point would be to post the name of your plugin so we can update it on the list …

^F^

PS: If you need us to deal with something, just add a @foxly tag to your message to “summon” me.

Before going through the theme compability process, you have to go through the proper installation of BuddyPress through the wizard first, hence no BP Compatibility link in Appearance dashboard menu.

Before going through the BP installation wizard, make backups of your database and server files first. If you’re using the same server where BP ‘crashed’ the site, then there’s a possibility it could crash again, or it might not crash since there have been major code improvements already.

Please do your backups now.

Calling @foxly @karmatosed etc. who have access to Google spreadsheet.

Question also, should we still have that list in codex pages?

Your members directory would be in yoursite.com/members assuming you haven’t changed the slug and that you installed BP in main site.

this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ is out of date, and my plugin BuddyPress Rate Forum Posts is compatible. the above page was tested on an older version. How can I update that list?

my plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/ is compatible and has been for a while now. The version they tested on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ was an out of date version. how can this be rested and updated?
