you could be over your memory limits i believe both woo commerce and buddypress are relatively memory hungry running both on a shared server or vps without much memory allocated probably wouldn’t get very far. just my thoughts.

hi @boiy

you have to code this yourself or hire a dev to do it for you.

maybe this plugin can inspire you https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/word-linker/

or this older one https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-topic-tags/

That’s the way to approach it then you know exactly at what point and at what function things went awry at, makes it easier to focus on the reason.

Glad to hear it. It may be the case however that as you start to customize those layouts that things go awry as the themes proprietary approaches to building pages from the backend kicks in but overall it didn’t look too bad on simple activation.

I actually dont get it

what is the purpose of the POEDIT application… i chaged my “join Group” to “join Us’… but the text didnt change… but when i edit from buddypress core files ‘bp_groups_template.php” .. it changes to ‘join Us’ and it is my understanding that core files arent to be tampered with… due to future update… can sumone pls explain this language file thing proparly and how i can customize my texts and strings… or is the another way

Having looked further at this theme framework on a local test install and it appears to work pretty well in it’s default out of the box implementation with BP 1.7  so I’m afraid whatever custom settings / layout configurations you have set in the frameworks backend are causing issues.

Hello, I am interested in this option too, I want to give the user role to author when we makes new blog(site), and I saw your code above. But where shall I put this code? In buddypress files? But where?
thank you

hi guys

last night i started setting up a fresh WP installation with the newest version of BP. all good.
i then installed (via WP) woocommerce and after installation (i guess during activation) it just stalled. admin would not respond at all. no errors, just complete blank page, for every page i tried, except for one time i got a 500 error with no detail.

i eventually deleted the plugin folder and it went back to work without woocommerce.

if anyone has any suggestions here, i’d be happy to hear.i also want to install another couple of plugins, like Learn Dash – wondering how all theses templates are going to work with each other….

Thanks!

well it’s an interesting post but it is contrary to my own personal experience with WP Engine i signed up right about the time he gave up. I would note the fact that he states that the CEO issued personal apology and reimbursement for the migration issue, thats seems like at least they took the issue seriously at some point. Also way he closes the post “Where I am today Back at Linode, back to running it myself.” This is exactly the reason it makes sense for people along a spectrum of technical expertise not just novices. Granted the WP managed hosts are not without their drawbacks and even WPE has some quirks that take a little getting used to.

WP Engine is the only company that provides both phone support and specialized wp hosting as far i know. The entire system is built from the ground up only to host WP sites. I cannot tell you how valuable it is when you call into support and you don’t have to explain how wordpress works or what buddypress is every time you are trying to get to the bottom of something. It is also the only hosting company i know that Automattic is financially involved in, to me that means something, i suspect it also means something to WPE.

In my experience the notion of a perfect host is a canard, what may be a great host today could be horrendous two years from now, but WPE aside from any deal killing kind of quirks is the best platform you could be hosted on aside from wordpress vip unless you truly can afford to do everything yourself.

There is also bp_is_activity_component()

here’s the code for bp_is_page. You can use

if ( !bp_is_user() && bp_is_current_component( ‘activity’) )

`function bp_is_page( $page = '' ) {
      
       if ( !bp_is_user() && bp_is_current_component( $page )  )
           return true;
   
       if ( 'home' == $page )
           return is_front_page();
  
       return false;
   }`

yeah idk but i do know that it’s meant for the primary site none of the buddypress stuff would do anything on the sub-sbites anyway.
