BuddyPress.org

@djoep – would a link to your post on the bbpress forum be possible, I’m not finding it. The site we’re developing is much like the scenario you describe, we need sitewide forums for general discussions and group specific forums for groups with specialized interests. I’ve got it working 90%, but getting 404 errors on child forums in the sitewide forums and just now discovered that attempting to post a comment/reply in the group forum gives 404. We can’t wait for end of Nov as this site has to be live by 11/15.

I can’t duplicate this.

To test, I’m using the BuddyPress Default theme.

I navigated to my WP profile and changed my nickname to “New Name”. Then attempted to change my avatar and was able to.

It could be a theme issue as well. What happens if you switch the theme to BuddyPress Default? Does the crop box work properly? If so, check the CSS in your custom theme to see if you’re modifying the crop box.

Check your WP theme for a folder called “registration” and a file called “register.php” inside this folder.

If you don’t have this folder and file, copy it over from /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/. See if that fixes your problems.

If you have the register.php template, open it up and customize the layout; you’ll need a tiny bit of experience with HTML and CSS to do this.

The only way to import generated profile fields at the moment is to do a straight database export of the xprofile field tables and then import them into your new site. (These database tables are “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” and “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” by default.)

The codex is basically a WordPress blog. I believe everyone who has an account with buddypress.org should be able to login at codex.wordpress.org/wp-admin/ and post something. Though, your post might be held as a draft until someone with higher permissions can look at it.

If you have ideas for codex articles, please feel free to post them. If you encounter problems, let us know.

There isn’t a single document to reference for documentation. I don’t believe WordPress has a document like that available on their codex. (I could be wrong though!)

Read this codex article to properly customize language files for BuddyPress:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

> You need to convert that .pot into a .mo file.

I think that you also need to change the file name so that it includes a text domain, and then specify that textdomain in your config file. Eg, buddypress-BBG.mo, and `define( ‘WPLANG’, ‘BBG’ );` (I think.)

Did you change it in the database?

I did this thinking that it would work like a child theme, but nothing seems to change… so I am assuming this is just for “storage”… ?

wp-content/languages/buddypress.pot

I’ve made a couple of changes in the language file but don’t see them on the site. No caching used.

Create a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Copy over sidebar.php from bp-default theme into your child theme’s folder https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php
Remove lines 29 to 58

I, too, am looking for documentation. I found the BuddyPress codex [1]. However, I find it somewhat lacking. Is it a wiki like the WordPress Codex[2]? If so, I may add what I learn to help others.

Ideally, I am looking for a single-document version of the documentation. I would like to print it and have it as a reference as I work. Has that been done before? What would it take to write a script to combine the existing docs at [1] into a single document (HTML, PDF, etc.)?

@mercime, I am specifically looking for information about user profile fields: I’d like to import an existing set of user fields. I haven’t searched the plugins yet; I’m still trying to get oriented to the BuddyPress support system. As for “submitting articles,” where do the articles live? How do I submit one?

Thanks!

Hi @nicolez, have you found a solution yet?

i would really like to know more about this…….i m very new to wordpress and buddypress…..this is my site http://theainet.net…i have added more fields on registration page but i could nt found it on dashboard.,,,

Pagination on Members Directory is working for me.

The problem that I see is that your left sidebar dropped down to below content and comments div in your BP pages. Make sure you follow the instructions in Step 3 of the BP Template Pack compatibility process.

nanchante2 – no need to post twice.

We know there are have been, and continue to be, issues with bp.org. Work is being done on a redesign.

but the download link http://mydev.dz-tchat.com/buddypress-notifications-manager-bpnm.html is not available now !! Is there a new link ?
Thanks in advance!

You might what to look at something like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bowe-codes/ to help you easily post that information in multiple areas.

@namzar – screenshot of the problem or better yet, URL to specific page would be welcome.

Same problem here. I temporarily solved by using remove_all_filters('upload_dir'); in my theme. I hope for a better solution in the next buddypress core update.
