BuddyPress.org

i think it has a problem with caching and with the cookies of your browser. Not so sure but why not try to log out then clear your cookies. If nothing will change maybe other members will help..^^

I had that problem….

I updated by ‘adding new’ plugin and searching for ‘buddypress’. Updated from there….

Looking at your website @hajakif it looks like you figured this out. Would you mind sharing your findings? We’re trying to set up CometChat on jmonkeyengine.org and we seem to be having similar set-up issues.

Make sure that you’ve called bp_has_groups() and bp_the_group(), otherwise all related template tags won’t do anything. See the BuddyPress Codex page on The Groups Loop for more.

If you want to grab the name of a single group by ID try this:

`
$group = new BP_Groups_Group($myGroupID, true);
echo $group->name;
`

Also, it would be better if you posted code at http://pastebin.com/ , click submit and post the generated URL here.

What do you currently have at the root of your domain?

It would be pretty much the same as moving WordPress from subfolder to domain root or elsewhere.
Always backup database and server files to your computer hard drive before attempting the change, just in case.

What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using? Has the URL stayed the same?

Also, I suggest you revert to a standard WordPress theme (e.g. twentyten) and disable all plugins. Go to Settings > Permalinks and re-select/save your choice. Reactivate BuddyPress. Hopefully no errors, and that twentyten continues to work ok.

Then switch back to the theme that you were using, and check the BuddyPress functionality.

Hi Steve,

Missed your mentions.

do_actions can be found by searching for them. If you have a good search program, do a search for “do_action” throughout the /plugins/buddypress/ folder. (You’ll get a lot of results! It’s better to just sift through the code to find what you want though.)

As for specifics, the do_action for activity updates is “bp_activity_add”:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.9/bp-activity.php#L679

The code snippet above will not work with this as the parameter for “bp_activity_add” is different.

You need to convert WordPress into a network before users can create individual blogs:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#post-1855 (scroll down to “Blog tracking”)

—

Or you might consider allowing your users to post on your current blog by making them an Author:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Author

By default, users are Subscribers.

There could be a number of reasons for the errant behavior.

– WP/BP versions?
– BP Template Pack veriion?
– Have you deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress and changed to bp-default theme? Clear cache. Does same bad behavior return or is it fixed?
– When you say, “I could not edit my user info” do you mean your profile page or one of your user’s info?

First, do not make revisions in bp-default theme. Revisions will be overwritten when BP is upgraded.

Instead,
– create a child theme of bp-default theme, e.g. mybpproject,
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– create a functions.php file and put it in your child theme folder. Define new widget/s here (name, ID, etc)
– copy over the template file from bp-default theme to your child theme folder (following directory structure) then add the call to dynamic_sidebar in that template.

By default the only “base” information is the username. This can’t be deleted.
Also why to delete when you can hide or give permission ?

For the other field or fiedset YOU added, try some of these plugins

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-privacy/

I just did a little digging and found this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/cannot-enable-multisite-after-buddypress-install/#post-90733

I hope this helps.

I am also curious about this, however “Install BuddyPress on a secondary blog” don’t seem to answer the question, and “Yes” answers the question without an explanation or instructions.

Thanks

Maybe this can help ?

also remember that privacy controls don’t apply to Admin. Admin can see everything. Log in as a regular user and then test.

It’s a cookie problem that was not fixed in v1.2.

However, it is fixed in v1.3:

@LPH2005 Good point, I dont know if it gets overwritten, I’ll have to look into that..
