BuddyPress.org

Closing topic.

Is there a reason why you are posting endless duplicates, and typing in capitals… are you a particularly important person, more so than anyone else on this forum?

You can’t delete buddypress.org / wordpress.org (they are the same thing) accounts

I’ve got no idea why Automattic pursue this policy — I’ll agree with you that it seems ridiculous. If you mention it on their wordpress.org forums, quasi-Automattic employees will shout you down (I guess they don’t adhere to the ‘customer is always right’ mode of operating).

Of course, you should be able to delete your account, but you can’t.

I think permitting users to delete their own accounts is an admin option.

@moque – je te le dis franchement, je ne parle pas francais

Hi Abbie,

a couple of observations, although not a solution:

Your link URLs are correct – they don’t need /profile on the end of them. BuddyPress will capture /websitename/members/username and direct it to the default page for your profile.

s2member is compatible with BuddyPress – so again, that shouldn’t be a problem.

I’m fairly sure redirection of links to the home page has been discussed before — hopefully someone else (or Google) can point you to the previous threads / help further. It might be an idea to share details of your hosting (is it Apache for example), and any mods to your .htaccess files. Also, which permalink structure have you chosen?

Cheers, Roger

Hello,

registration process has nothing to do with BP, it’s WP stuff. For some technical answers to your question, be inspired by reading here:
http://www.esecurityplanet.com/open-source-security/top-5-wordpress-vulnerabilities-and-how-to-fix-them.html

To avoid robot resgistration, there is nothing definitve to do at this time. But to get sure you don’t get a robot in your user list, you can add a mandatory field to your registration via custom profile fields.
For example, “city”. Because this field is custom, no robot will fill it correctly. And most will not fill it at all. Each subscription with “doe” as city name or empty city field can be banned and/or erased from your DB. This will calm down spam activities for a while. The price of this is a constant admin work. But consider that a daily managed site is lesser spammed than a site with randomised webmastering each 31th february… And a site with 50 000 unique visitors will be more attacked that a 70 hits/day site. Just the price of glory, nothing to do with buddypress. [exit]

The code for the button exists in the ‘function bp_get_group_join_button( $group = false )’ which gets the button. This code can be found in the bp-groups-template.php file under buddypressbp-groups

@Eliott — I don’t know of any documentation on the function, you are best looking through the code for the arguments it takes. API documentation is very thin on the ground.

If you take a look at the skeleton component ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/ ), it gives you a model for registering your own components and actions, which you can then use in conjunction with the notifications system (e.g. as parameters to bp_core_add_notification() )

Similarly, have a search through the codebase to see how the default BP components call the function.

I’d use the default theme as a sanity check because that will tell you if set up or theme – hopefully

I’m just going to clarify what the activtity stream does and can do if you modify the loop.

“Activity Streams
Global, personal, and group activity streams with single-stream view. Included are threaded commenting, status updates, favorites, @mentions, RSS feeds, and email notifications.”

https://buddypress.org/about/story/

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/ shows you how you can pass variables to the functions which means you can create custom filtering.

You can import .pot files onto GlotPress, so I don’t think that’s a problem. And, yes, of course BuddyPress needs translation.

I am going to pick up this issue and investigate. I will update on here and on bpdevel.wordpress.com in due course.

As a sanity check have you tried the default theme on it? What happens with that and favourites?

Also, here is a codex page relevant to using WordPress in a directory. https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

Your database hasn’t been installed correctly — the groups table isn’t there.

Did your BuddyPress install complete correctly? Did you enable the Groups component? Any error messages in your server logs when you installed BP?

Have you tried reinstalling BuddyPress?

Finally, what versions of WP / BP?
