BuddyPress.org

Thanks @mercime that worked perfectly! I’m sure others have the same issue.

Unless there is a specific plugin for this purpose in the wp plugin directory, otherwise you’ll need to code your own.

You could hook on bp_activity_posted_update

then perform a count and compare to your set threshold of activity updates prior to adding the permissions to the userdata. ( if you look at the member profile stats plugin – there is a function called etivite_bp_member_profile_stats_get_member_status_count() – which pulls only activity_updates )

nice , this is very needed feature , I am using @modemlooper code and it is working perfect , but it can’t work with different types of groups (I have 2-3 types of groups) pls try to create it with sets of templates for specific groups , for example if you have groups of photographers , you can create set of fields for photographers , if you have groups of model agencies , be able to create set of fields for model agencies (are different than photographers) and then every model agency will only click for their specific model agency group and will fill out their model agencies group form.

The same question I have. Placing a link “user profile” to a custom menu so the logged in user can access his profile directly.

I heard that with the new release of wordpress and buddypress it should be possible but couldn’t find out how yet.

Any idea?

Sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime, you can use Google search and input “buddypress.org topic/keywords”. Google has indexed our forums pretty well.

Installing WordPress is not to difficult. Google your host name and how to install WordPress and you should find a tutorial.

Allow Your Users to Change their Username on your BuddyPress Based site

Somebody posted a topic a few days ago with a problem and the reason they had a problem was they used the host installer for WordPress. What Paul is saying is that it may be ok but in my experience I’ve had issues.

You may not have any issues, each web host is different.

@modemlooper on this subject. Is there anyway of generating a blank user profile when somebody mentions a @profile account containing the mentions ?

There should be 7 forum tables in database – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/#bp-forums-db

https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/

Before upgrading WP/BP, there’s a message to back up database. If you have a back up of that database, you can re-install WP/BP and import database
WP 3.2.1 – https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
BP 1.5.1 – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1

@mercime, Windows server, WP 3.2.1. BP 1.5.2, the only table that mentions forums is one called “wp_bb_forums” and there is a bb-config.php in the root WP installation. Hope that helps!

@tjherman are you on Windows or Linux server? WP 3.2.1 or WP 3.3? BP 1.5.1 or 1.5.2? Have you checked your database if 7 tables were generated for the forums and whether bb-config.php was generated at the root of your WP installation?

There’s also this: `define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true );`

`function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111214’;
// Register our main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘mytheme-style’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue the main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘mytheme-style’ );
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );`

Will be updating BP codex re child themes for WP 3.3 and BP 1.5.2

Ok, so I think I am still experiencing the CSS issue on page editing screens because I am developing a child theme of bp-default. I updated the functions.php file as provided on the ticket but am I supposed to alter my child theme functions.php file? I have no idea how that would go. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree? Please help!

`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20111102’;
// Register main stylesheet
wp_register_style( ‘child-theme’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(), $version );
// Enqueue main stylesheet
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-theme’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ );
endif;`

The error happens even if it is a new group or existing and after toggling the enable forum. I’ve had so many problems installing BP I’m starting to wonder if it will work.
