Hi, 🙂
updated buddypress to 1.6.4 on a wordpress 3.5.1
In buddypress.org website, there is “Favorite topics” and “subscribed topics”. I don’t have them on my installation. note that I’m using the old buddybar, but that’s not the problem, because even the link to the favorite/subscribed topics on my website shows me a 404 page.
I wanted to have these functions. I searched but didn’t find anything relevant.
Thank you in advance 🙂
Hi
I have 3 questions that are related:
1. Is it possible to get two different roles to have two different types of user with different profiles?
I want have two different roles (e.g. company and person) with different profile content.
E.g. the user Company should have different profile fields than the user Person.
The user Person should have for example a field for birthday but the company not because it doesn’t make sense.
Is that possible?
2. Another thing what would be great is to have a group in the profile for picture upload of recent work of the Person.The Company shouldn’t have that. Would that be possible too?
3. Can the different User (Company and Person) get a different theme? Is it possible with “Theme my login”-plugin or is there something else?
Thanks a lot
My versions:
Wordpress 3.5.1
Buddypress 1.6.4
Hi
is it possible to refine the search for buddypress?
I would like to have on the widget sidebar more options to choose after I got some search results.
E.g. when I’m searching for someone in a special city and get the results it would be great to refine it without doing a new search and putting in the same information again plus the new refining.
As an example would be on the right side of http://theentrepreneurnetwork.org/members/
I think it works with the plugin buddypress-user-account-type-pro.
Is that possible maybe with bp-profile-search? If not maybe with another plugin?
Besides that it would be great if the search could exist twice. On for one user group (e.g. teacher) and one for another user group (e.g. students). Would this be possible too? Maybe if the search is integrated in different Pages?
Thanks a lot
@djpaul Any chance of it being broadcasted over skype or some kinda web cast? I would love to hear the presentations but I don’t have any money to do anything, either way thanks for all you and the core team does. I do appreciate buddypress. Thank you so much for the core teams work and time! 🙂
the formatting on here sucks when you paste code so that might be issue if you cut and paste, i use that exact code on modemlooper.me so I know it works. Are you trying to make a buddypress template full width? might need to adjust code
When deleting users or just moving around the site, errors related to BP reg options show up in the httpd logs.

WP 3.5.1 with latest BP, BP-media and this plugin.
Anyone have any thoughts on what I should be looking for.
Absolutely, am saying what exactly what you are thinking. I thought this to be the Style.CSS issue and when i tried using firebug and floating “.ab-top-secondary” to the “left” this moves the whole notifications+the logout window.
I have a BuddyPress install working great on my soon-to-launch site. Wondering if anyone knows where the “Comments (optional)” text when requesting to join a group is located within buddypress? I have 1 plugins working with BP: “Confirm user registration”
Here’s a screenshot:

Anyone know how I can locate this text and replace it?
Thank you in advance.
Although I certainly respect your opinion on the matter, I’m just not exactly sure what the size of a community (after all, every community always starts out with just one individual) has to do with anything at all here concerning basic privacy options, @ubernaut, but, @bphelp, you can certainly implement activity stream privacy for “friends only” and such, there just isn’t any elegant or up-to-date plugin that is current with BuddyPress 1.6/1.7 which works right out of the box, not that I know of anyhow, so you’ll either just have to code it and customize it in yourself or hire someone to do it for you.
The biggest problem with these types of out-of-core solutions (plugins, custom code, etc.) is that they, generally, have to continually evolve with the core updates for each release, and once you’ve built a community based on certain privacy options, ones that your members have come to expect and rely on, and they then all of a sudden break on you with a new update of core it then puts your entire community at risk, not to mention the immediate loss of respect and alienation of your site’s members, and that’s quite obviously not a good thing to have happen.
Don’t worry too much about being “negative” or “attacking” anyone here with such a valid question either. I’ve been working with and using BuddyPress since it first came out under Andy Peatling about 4-years ago, and full core privacy options should have definitely been one of the very first items to go in, and right from the start too. No doubt about it. Why haven’t they been implemented yet, especially after all of these years? I haven’t a clue.
I am betting though that core privacy options for activity, perhaps even full core privacy, will eventually make it into the core code and end everyone’s misery surrounding this entirely worn-out subject, but, again, when that is we just don’t know, but I’m guessing that with the new theme compatibility in BuddyPress 1.7 it is sure to light a bigger fire under it due to more mass adoption, as well as with the unending beat of the privacy advocate drum here.
So I’m trying to enable multiblog on my multisite network so all sites can access BP content, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Here’s what I’ve done:
– using WordPress 3.5.1. and Buddypress 1.6.4
– I defined BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG as true in wp-config
– network activated buddypress in the network admin
– activated buddypress in the single site’s admin
After activating buddypress in the site admin, the buddypress panel doesn’t show up in the settings tab in the dashboard. It is only accessible through the network admin.
Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance for your help.
It’s working.
I used that to guide me in changing the directory name of the test install… it pointed out the issues that can crop up.
I moved everything to a new directory, well, made a backup and renamed the old directory really.
I ran searchreplace to update the url/ path and all is good 🙂 Now it runs just fine when you go to the root of the site. Plus by making a backup of the DB and getting the old test to use it I still have a test install to play around with.
The only hiccup was that I had my posts going to \blog and that was going to be the real directory for the live install… that confused me for a few minutes when everything else worked. Renamed the the physical \blog and all was well.
I still haven’t figured out why one worked and the other didn’t, but its a moot point now.
I’m having a hard time figuring out how I can get some extra profiles fields that are in wp_usermeta into the members loop.
I’m trying to get the value of “profile_company”
I’ve seen a lot of posts saying that this should work. But it doesn’t.
`
`
I also don’t have any problem getting this field on my single profile page using this
profile_company; ?>
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 🙂
Oh I’m also using Buddypress 1.7
I am noticing my private intranet that I am setting up on buddypress is acting similar as of today (possibly yesterday). I initially saw a message saying a group was not set up for forums, but saw that the checkbox was already checked in admin. I then tried to enter a new post. My bb_posts table is still populating with the new posts, but I am getting the same error as listed above in the buddypress default theme and the posts are not populating in any part of my sites forum content.
Something is acting weird, I did install and activate that plugin and it says “No unactivated members were found”
maybe they are activiated properly, but why won’t they list on the members page.
I’m using the default member’s loop that comes with buddypress, I wonder why they don’t show up…hmmm
@modemlooper
I made a registration form and modified it to use the email address and the user_login and user_email, and does some other custom actions, Don’t need to use a username in this application, it works fine. But I did try using the buddypress/bp-themes/registration/register.php.
For some reason It doesn’t seem to activate a new account, I will search through that plugin and see what it does to activate a user. If I could find out where in the database that is stored, I can just add it to the registration process.
When you use BuddyPress you use a  special registration form.
buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php
you can copy this file into your theme to create a custom registration form.
your-theme/registration/register.php
As for logging in, if you added a new user from the WP admin all the user has to do is login once and then they show in the members list. Are you just wanting to force them to show in the members list?
This plugin will allow you to auto activate users https://github.com/boonebgorges/unconfirmed
These types of posts get replies if someone feels they want to help. They are not problems with BuddyPress core but customizations.
Your code example uses the activities loop which is not best way to find forum topic counts. Because you want to specify a date range you might have to query the db directly. Look at this function that returns total topic count for a user

Thanks @mercime
I’m pleased that the latest versions install so easily.
What I don’t understand is why a user sees no groups or Forums when accessing them through the BuddyPress menus The Forums are all but useless when accessed this way.
domainnane/forums seems to be useful
domainnane/members/membername/forums/ does not seem to be useful
Ditto groups
Obviously, I’m missing something or failing to understand the bbPress/BuddyPress Intergration. Then again, groups are nothing to do with bbPress so I’m very confused.
I’m setting up my first BuddyPress site, and I needed to make a custom registration process, I coded the form and added users’s into the proper tables, but when I go to the member’s page all I can see is the admin account listed, even when I register a user using the default buddy press form, they don’t list in the “all members loop”.
the user’s profile exists too.
What do I need to do to allow a user to be listed as a BP member, I already added a record in the xprofile_data table.
Demand is a strange thing, many users will come and download, and see that “basic”features are not there and will just move away to other scripts silently without much complaining.
Features are more or less defined by current standards OR like Apple who innovate and people think, OMG we did need this!
All real world social nets as well as scripts like Elgg, Oxwall etc have working media and event – it does NOT matter to most of us if it is in core or plug in because at the end of the day users of my site will use it, and it matters to them if they are able to use it satisfactorily and upto their current set of expectations.
I really have waited for 3 years or more, made repeated requests ….
Media – at its very basic should have photos/albums and ability to comment both from activity stream and in the page itself ( same comment) plus mark directly on photo.
Event – at its very basic – who will attend – Yes | No | Maybe
OT – commenting to blog from activity stream was never incorporated as well as privacy setting for blog ( friends only etc) AND inabilty to have different class/group of friends have been there for too long.
I’m not sure that I’ve seen a huge amount of demand for event plugins specifically for BP in my experience. I hear more about media galleries, but again, it’s infrequent. It took a long time for WordPress itself to get a better media upload/interface. There’s no technical reason why a simple plugin couldn’t be built to use that.
The scope of the problem (“what is a media gallery”) is pretty huge, and means different things to different people, and I bet that any new plugin that picked a focused implementation which isn’t going to be ideal for everyone.
The important part is:
Template:Â bp-default
Tags:Â buddypress
Other than that it’s hard to say based on supplied info what is wrong.
