BuddyPress.org

@manimaranvel BuddyPress can only be activated once in either the main site or a secondary blog of a WP Multisite installation – there is no BP multisite at this time. If you allowed your members to create own blogs and then want to show the member profile in his/her blog, you can use a plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/

99% who help out here in the BP forums are volunteers. On a very rare day, someone might come into the forums and make a long long list of all that they need for a BP site and get spoonfed with all the answers in one go, though I haven’t seen that happen totally. I know you expect answers that’s why you go to the forums but on our end, we expect that you did some research on your own as well. If you want simple BP/WP install, it’s all easy (assuming you have good server). But If you want fully customized BP install, the learning curve is medium high if you’ve got WP experience.

Back to Woo’s City Guide Theme, I only mentioned that theme because I saw it just before I saw your post here – CITY GUIDE. Also, as I mentioned before in post above, you would need to install BP Template Pack, make necessary changes, and if you have HTML/CSS/WordPress theming knowledge, it’ll be a breeze. You could choose whatever WP theme you want and install BP Template Pack or get a free BuddyPress theme or go for a premium BuddyPress theme with free support.

That’s nothing to do with BuddyPress. “Subscriber” is the default WordPress role. However, I’m assuming these users have had their account activated?

You’re going to have to go into your database and change the charset manually. Back up your data first as I cannot guarantee that there won’t be any data loss or corruption. FYI We’ve fixed this for BuddyPress 1.3 due out next year.

@boonebgorges I know this is a old thread, but it is exactly what I am looking for, but it is not working for me. I should say it is working, but I can’t get one parameter to work. I am using the bp_has_groups() to filter the groups loop and I need to only display certain groups either by id’s (which does not seem to be a option other the user_id) or by slug which will work, but it does not for what ever reason. I am building a search function that will search for groups within a radius of a zip code entered in by the user. My search code is not in play yet so that is not causing the issue…just trying to find a way to hook my search code into a query for the loops page and the slug option looks to be the only way unless I can use group_id’s somehow. This is how I used the slug as parameter.
`$args = array(
‘slug’ => ‘group_slug’,
‘max’ => 3,
‘user_id’ => $user_id);
if ( bp_has_groups ( $args ) ) { …’

I looked in the data base for the slug name in the bp_groups table. Not sure if that is right, but it is not working. Like I said though…the other parameters seem to work.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi @joescars, did you put the ‘404-handler.php’ in your root folder or in your themes folder? I tried putting it in my root folder but on creation of Groups it redirects back to my homepage.

You’re on single WP with BP installed so that BP Profile widget won’t work for you, I should have asked that sooner. In any case, since you have installed BP, you can easily add the fields you want your users to fill in via dashboard > BuddyPress > Profile Field Setup.

See this post by Jeff Sayre https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/internal-server-error-after-activating-bp/#post-42971

That “section” could be a “group” component already in WordPress and joining groups is either voluntary for public groups or by invitation for private groups and each group can have a forum if the group admin so chooses. That’s basic behavior which can be changed via a plugin you can make to do so. You could check out BuddyPress Group component and other default components by logging in http://testbp.org/ with the username and password you used here.

@jonnycardel so you want to delete that whole section with the avatar, login, AND logout? Open up sidebar.php https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.6/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php starting at line 8 where Is_user_logged_in to line 56 with php endif; deals with the avatars, login and logout. If you do not want them, delete the block.

Hi @dwenaus This seems an excellent plugin. I am just starting out with BP for a client project and one of my requirements is to extend ‘groups’ to have more ‘content’, preferaby sub-‘pages’. At the moment I am using the bp-wiki plugin but it seems, indeed, a bit limited.

To me it would be a great to be able to attach regular (sub-) ‘pages’ or ‘posts’ to groups and I would happily donate some money.

@pakhermawan that would certainly be an interesting project. Install BP Template Pack plugin and follow instructions on screen. Some BP Codex articles might help you along the way:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

@jonnycardel if you’re using a child theme of bp-default, then copy over sidebar.php from bp-default theme to child theme folder. If it’s only the Log Out link you want to delete, then delete this line from your sidebar.php
`<a class="button logout" href="”>`

@Rogercoathup I searched the “bp_activity_add”, it returens 2 topic, but I don’t see your post in any of them. Would you point us to the link?

@gunju2221 Thing is, your media must be “hosted on the cincopa cloud server” and that’s the deal-breaker for some on the buddypress easy albums photos plugin .

Free, easy and great!

@vbpartners, I checked your URL, and it says “The system cannot find the file specified”

The buddypress chat plugin is the error creator. I have tested it, and it does not quite function correctly. Remove it, and run the install again.

if you still get the error, there may be a another plugin conflicting.
