BuddyPress.org

Had the same problem on a fresh BP 1.2.8 install on a fresh WP 3.1. Changed theme to bp default, changed permalink settings, made sure .htaccess contained rewrite rules as generated by BP. mod_rewrite was definitely activated. However, the .htaccess in the BP root (a subdirectory under a local domain) was not evaluated at all. Ubuntu 10.04 server edition, everything installed via packet management except for WP/BP which were simply unzipped from the download archives.

This entry in httpd.conf helped:
~~
`
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
Allow from all
`
~~

Change the root dir of bp accordingly. After that all the links on tabs, registration etc. worked fine.

Hi,

Hi,

Hi,

There is a new anti-splog plugin, you can try it, is free for personal use:

Can you report this as a bug on http://trac.buddypress.org? I think BuddyPress needs a pass-through to check where we should be using SSL.

Polite bump…

This could be an approach: http://cleverness.org/2010/08/08/add-user-types-to-wordpress-and-buddypress/ (works with 3.1 multisite). It does not add pages but gives you the possibility to show profile-field-groups depending on the chosen user-role.

Not as far as I’m aware, and I’m not sure anonymous activity stream posts would even work with BuddyPress. I think things would break.

@boonebgorges

I am a complete newbie when it comes to this. I tried to utilize the funciton you created above and it results in an error: Unexpected return.

I imagine I am missing something obvious but here is my code:
`function my_blog_avatar_1( $old_avatar ) {
bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => ‘1’, ‘type’ => $type, ‘alt’ => $alt, ‘width’ => $width, ‘height’ => $height, ‘class’ => $class ) ) // Do some stuff to get the avatar you want, then
return $new_avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_blog_avatar_1?, ‘my_blog_avatar_1’ );`

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ka Yue, thats exacly what i need.. when does this theme release? i want to use it to understand the buddypress code so i can build my site from scratch…. thanks a lot

Thanks @netweblogic Marcus – that code worked for me and various others didnt !

Hello There, so im new to BuddyPress…Trying to set up a site and what i am finding is with this S2member/Buddypress Collaboration. Basically when i go on my site which i have set up and try to register as a general “subscriber or something it tells me an activation email has been sent but i never actually receive one.

I have tried on multiple accounts but i am having no luck whatsoever. Any ideas?

Thanks

You will need to configure WordPress to allow user registrations.
To install the forums, after you’ve activated BuddyPress, go to the Network dashboard (I am assuming you are on WordPress 3.1), go to the “BuddyPress” menu item and then “Forum Setup.”

Go back to the default (unedited) theme, disable any plugins other than BuddyPress, and try again. If it still doesn’t work, are there any messages in your web server’s error log.

The docs are fairly thorough, and assuming you’ve correctly installed buddypress and bbPress forum integration, the forums should appear along with all the other newly created pages – i.e. – example.com/forum, example.com/groups. If these pages are not appearing in your navigation, your wordpress theme may not be compatible with wordpress. In this case you could switch to a theme designed for BP or work to make your current theme compatible.

Also, make sure these components are enabled in the buddypress admin dashboard settings. If you feel you’ve done everything correctly, you should be able to create new groups by going to yoursite.com/groups and clicking the new group button that appears at the top of the page.

I’m also a bit of a noob, but I’d like to recommend using the browser plug-in Firebug as a means to quickly learn css. http://getfirebug.com/

Most WP plugins will work. BuddyPress is just a WP plugin with special template tags and a whole lots-O-whizbang!

If you click extend above you can see that a lot of those plugins are just WP plugins that have been tagged BP as they work.

@JamieMM

You seem to be having difficulty with the basics. May I suggest switching to an easier theme to customize?

I designed BuddyLite with newbies in mind (like me!) You can get a similar look and feel as your current theme, while taking full advantage of WP3 custom menus, and a bunch of basic customization options through a simple admin panel.

You can download it here: http://buddylite.com/buddylite-basic/

This always works for me.

also – change the name of your beta folder so that links going there are easier to see
