BuddyPress.org

Change to bp-default theme and see if erratic behavior exists. If it’s corrected using bp-default theme, check out theme forum of @svenl77 and co. at http://themekraft.com/groups/custom-community/forum for solution/s.

`bp_before_sidebar_login_form`
and
`bp_after_sidebar_login_form`
As long as be default theme has these 2 line before and after sidebar login form, the code should work.
This means if BP decide to change these 2 hooks to something else, you can change my code to
`add_action(‘before_somethingelse’, ‘mesh_before_somethingelse’);
function mesh_before_somethingelse() { ob_start(); }
add_action(‘after_somethingelse’, ‘mesh_after_somethingelse’);
function mesh_after_somethingelse() { ob_end_clean(); }`

OK. So, is there a way to generically modify functions.php (like another WordPress hook or whatever) so that if I change themes the code you gave me would not “go away”. Or, would I have to make the same changes in a new theme if I decided to use it?

Sure you can comment out 29-56.
The code I posted is for the case that if you don’t want to touch the theme template,

My original thought was to just comment out 29-56, and then add the widget to the sidebar.

But, I guess that’s not really the point. Buddypress seems to be designed around the concept of being “hack free”. And then, what does BP do? Put something in the “core” template that requires a work-around. In the “old days” I had to hack themes and plugins right and left to make them work. I was kinda hoping I could work with Buddypress in the same framework I’ve been used to with WP in general. Guess not?

Login_with_Ajax doesn’t automatically replace buddypress sidebar login form.
You can either modify or remove the sidebar login form.
If modify– follow Boon’s instruction, modify lines 29-56, take the widget_out.php as reference, and no need to add LWA widget
if remove–put this in your child theme’s functions.php, then, add LWA widget in sidebar:
`add_action(‘bp_before_sidebar_login_form’, ‘mesh_before_sidebar_login_form’);
function mesh_before_sidebar_login_form() { ob_start(); }
add_action(‘bp_after_sidebar_login_form’, ‘mesh_after_sidebar_login_form’);
function mesh_after_sidebar_login_form() { ob_end_clean(); }`

Man, this makes very little sense to me.

I want to insulate all of my members from any WordPress panels. So far, THE only place I see the problem occurring is when a user types in a bad profile/password. In that case he/she is taken to the “wiggling” login page. I looked at a couple ajax login plugins, but they don’t really “replace” the default login.

Shouldn’t BP have an option to turn off the default login? Or maybe have it set up so that the default login widget is a pre-installed widget that could be removed/replaced?

Five stars!

Do not worry about the compatibility warning. There’s something wrong with the processing of the plugin page somewhere @boonebgorges

1. Users join the site
Yes, whether you use BuddyPress or not.

2. Ability to upload one image and other users comment on it.
– If you post an image in blog Post/Page – members can comment on the image if you enable comments.
– If you mean upload image via BuddyPress image plugin, then you should check out the free BP media plugins .
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/video-playlist-and-gallery-plugin/
I have only used BP Gallery (premium) and yes, you can comment on any single image, audio or video upload with this plugin.

3. Friends and Followers
Yes. Friends is default install. Followers via BuddyPress Followers plugin

4. Show recent uploads
Of images or media, right? In activity stream – not sure about the first two plugins; you have the option to show (or not) recent uploads in activity stream using BP Gallery.
In a sidebar widget or directory page – I believe all of the 3 mentioned plugins have this capability.

https://trac.buddypress.org/roadmap – need to fix active tickets first.

@djpaul, @boonebgorges, @hnla Is there someone who knows *why* this happens? Is it a matter of a wrongly coded url which anyone can fix? Or is it something that needs refactoring of the entire plugin? If it was easy we could start submitting the update plugins to the authors with the fixes, instead of waiting till the author fixes it. There are tons of people downloading these plugins, and without admin panels they appear not to be working. I’ve manually fixed up a few plugins, but saving options does not work on all of those. sadly

@cam4060

Scroll to the bottom of your WordPress sidebar where you’ll see a link labeled “Theme Settings”. Click on it, then under the “Buddypress” tab, you’ll see an option to turn the login sidebar on or off.

Rename, delete or move the /custom-community/ theme folder, then visit example.com/wp-admin/themes.php.

@r-a-y

Thanks for pointing that out… I hadn’t even noticed that the background of entire xprofile groups was alternating rather than each row.
The patch for bp-default/_inc/global.js works just fine on my install.

Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins, test registration and check DB wp_users table, does registration generate 2 rows for that new user? At this point, I do recommend restarting from scratch – delete htaccess file and drop DB tables and re-upload WP files manually i.e. via FTP or cpanel. – got to have a good solid WP/BP foundation moving forward.

This is a bug.

Check out this ticket for a proposed fix:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/3074

Looks like your manual install is broken.

Try upgrading to 1.2.8, it will give you a fresh install of the plugin. If it does not fix it, delete buddypress, and download 1.2.7 again if you wish.

If the error does not go away once you upgrade, I’ll ask you further questions.

You can find the CSS for the alternate table rows in buddypress/default.css around line 888.

@DJPaul
So, the plugin “WELCOME PACK”, written for YOU, and not working for this reason is not well-written?
I’ve read about the solution in other forums of changing “admin_menu” to “network_admin_menu” to make reappear the plugin menu, but it’s only there. You can’t change settings.
I tried this solution changing “options.php” to “../options.php” and the error changes, WordPress says that there’s no options file.
Are you reading this?: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/welcome-pack/forum/topic/welcome-pack-not-working-after-latest-update/
@ZKWC even offered you money for the job, but you don’t give any answer.
I guess you don’t know about this change from admin_menu to network_admin_menu Or you should have told us to do it.
I’m not a programmer but I guess that you know the little change we have to do to save the settings in that options file, no?
What we have to do to get an answer from you?
Please not:
-“wait for 1.3” (that could happen in october)
-“I need money” (I need money too, but I think that offering a free plugin, and when a lot of people is using it, request for money to maintain it, it’s not a good idea. Thinkin on your reputation)
Sorry for my bad english.

I have both oEmbed and BuddyPress Links installed. They can both show external media. I’m wondering if they may conflict with each other or not? Hopefully BuddyPress Links is using oEmbed technics.
