BuddyPress.org

Sorry guys. I was just testing a Youtube url that i wanted to post on my buddypress site but does not work over there. The previous post I cannot edit or delete?

Upload bp-custom.php to wp-content/plugins/ folder (NOT in buddypress folder) and it’s going to work.
e.g.
`<?php
define( ‘BP_ACTIVATION_SLUG’, ‘activate’ );
define( ‘BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG’, ‘activity’ );
?>`

Just like this thread https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menus-and-buddypress?replies=14

Create bp-custom.php and upload it to wp-content/plugins/ folder and no, the file won’t be wiped out be future updates. Include bp-custom.php whenever you make a backup of server files.

I dont think there is anyway around the this. I would suggest sending a message to all users saying the site will be down from xx:00 – xx:00.

“so that BuddyPress users have a solid (and free) option for a theme that looks different than the default theme. “

Cool! Will you be submitting this to the WP Theme Repository?

Cheers.

bbPress the plugin is still in beta, so I wouldn’t install it in live site. The Lead Developer of BuddyPress is the same Lead Dev for bbPress so you can be sure it will be made fully compatible in the near future.

As to your first question, groups has around 4 tables so I suggest you leave them be even if you disable the groups. As always, before making drastic changes, backup DB and server files.

It happened to a test site when I installed WP 3.2. Upgraded to WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.9 and all’s well. Do you have any error messages coming up on screen?

Well I don’t know if this a bug or not, but I found (almost) the root of the problem and a relatively simple fix.

I discovered that the recipients table had entries for threads that were not in the messages tables. I don’t know where these threads came from, but they were definitely there. So I changed the messaging code to generate the thread_id from the recipients table rather than the messages table.

If this was some sort of database corruption, this was a reasonable fix for me. We don’t have enough messages for it to be a performance issue and if something else is inserting into that recipients table we shouldn’t conflict with it (assuming it is generating thread_ids in the same way).

I really don’t know enough about BuddyPress to know if this is a core bug or some other issue related to our theme (I can’t find any other references to that table so it’s kinda wierd).

bp-messages-classes.php:

/* If we have no thread_id then this is the first message of a new thread. */
if ( empty( $this->thread_id ) ) {
$this->thread_id = (int)$wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT MAX(thread_id) FROM {$bp->messages->table_name_recipients}” ) ) + 1;
$new_thread = true;
}

Not sure how updated this is but… : https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-documents/ – more for groups though.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/ may also be something useful to you.

Whatever method you go it’s going to be a plugin route really to get that working for all you list.

Could you provide a link to your site please so we can see?

You should be able to see all members under the members tab however could depend on your theme and / or plugins you have along with your install.

Could you also please try using the BuddyPress default theme as that may be a good gauge – I understand if that isn’t possible?

There isn’t a profile rate plugin but this one could possibly be adapted

in admin under BuddyPress components link you can disable groups component.

This buddypress installation here has some buggs bugging around for quite some time – impossible to edit post (try it!), search does not work etc.

Anyways, wanted to add a link to a plugin which might at least solve some of the issues (make sure you read the FAQs):

@roman – As long as you are running BP 1.2.9, you shouldn’t experience the WPDB error described above.

There’s built in hooks to change slugs and other things.

hi, did the same stupid thing by mistake. updated to wp 3.2.1.
which is the best known way to just get back to the latest known as working version of wp?
thanks!

Would be the same as moving a WordPress site. because that’s what you have. Your new host will probably even move it for you. Good ones do.
