BuddyPress.org

Ok, didn’t notice it earlier but somehow one of the links brought me to your other site and all links were working http://jaws.my/demo/kashnkrissy2/members/admin/

It’s not BuddyPress that’s directly causing the redirect but rather most likely something in your .htaccess file wherein you’re trying to map the ladykashandkrissy.com domain onto jaws.my/demo/kashnkrissy2.

You could try the domain mapping plugin if you’re on multisite or better yet, uninstall BuddyPress and find resolution for your domain mapping first at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting before installing BuddyPress.

Not yet according to this list https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/

Hi. Where are the controls so I can stop members from creating groups?

Thanks,
Steve

@ewebber, thanks. That looks like it would work. Hopefully, it’s compatible with BP 1.5.

BuddyPress doesn’t use Facebook’s wall idea. It’s more like Twitter; you need to @mention them. The default theme has a “public message” button when viewing another user’s profile; this is a shortcut and it provides the @mention for you.

BuddyPress doesn’t follow Facebook’s idea of a wall. It’s more of a Twitter model. You need to @mention them.

@mercime, I dont know why this is not working for me, i tried the above code but just show a small broken icon.

here is my code

<h1 id="logo"><a href="" title=""><img src="_inc/images/2.jpg" /></a></h1>

any help will be appreciated

regards

How did you get the word out about your site?

Does this help at all https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/

@esploded I’d suggest starting with a clean version of wp/bp you can set up a new site on your MAMP, if that doesn’t work then there is something up with your settings.
If you want help from the forum it might be worth you setting this up on a server rather then keeping it local so you can show people.

@Chad – Did you ever find a solution for this? I need the same capabilities!

I’m interested in knowing if there’s a solution to this question.

@ewebber, your site looks inviting! Alas, I live in Las Vegas. If you don’t mind, which plugin are you using for the “Business” tab as well as the categories? Thank you!

@mercime, this doesn’t appear to be resolved. I’ve clicked on just about every link and the site activity still shows on every page.

== adding the line: define(‘BP_DISABLE_AUTO_GROUP_JOIN’,true); – but that doesnt work either. in fact that line replaces the admin bar at the top of my site. ==

@tommyhoang Your bp-custom.php should contain not only that line but also the opening and closing tags.

`<?php

define(‘BP_DISABLE_AUTO_GROUP_JOIN’,true);

?>`

bp-custom.php should be uploaded in plugins folder => wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

Congratulations, you’ve resolved this on your own

Anyone using the lite version of WPMU’s Chat plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/chat/ ? Pros and cons please.

Actually I stumbled across this question while spending several hours last night looking for the answer on the infamous Group Avatar step error message, after seeing there were as many different answers as there were questions, and not finding the solution (and doing what each answer suggested), I decided not to fight it. I don’t know if your question stems from this type of error or simply you’ve come to realize the group is created after the first step (as you said), but rather than using php or a core hack,etc, etc, I just removed the upload buttons and text of the avatar step using CSS, essentially users who create the group will consider it a default avatar, not get thrown off by an error message and click through the process; they then do any editing afterwords. Editing the avatar after the fact doesn’t throw any errors as it does when creating the group.
In my case, I know it’s a child theme problem and having a static home page, even though I followed the buddypress docs to a t. Didn’t want to give up the home page for the buddypress default, so that was my solution. it’s fairly painless and works.
