BuddyPress.org

@tiagobeloto If you find a bug, create a ticket on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org.

For other feedback, or if you’re not sure you found a bug, make a topic here, and write “1.6” in the title so we can more easily see it. Or write it on http://bpdevel.wordpress.com

Thanks for help testing

No, BuddyPress or bbPress 1.0 doesn’t have any short codex. The short codes you refer to are part of bbPress 2.

Just curious, what percentage of those members would you consider spam accounts?

Edit: Presumably a ton since there are 75,000 members but only around 5k Facebook likes and under 10k Twitter followers. Or is your renamed login page and captcha helping immensely?

== So why does Settings-BuddyPress-Forums still have an install button ? ==

@shanebp I agree. Will you do the honors to raise this in trac?

== And do we really need a separate bbPress plugin for site-wide forums? ==

Yes

== I’ve assigned it to Discussion Forums in bp-settings – Pages ==

If you’re not going to use Group Forums, disable the component in BP 1.6beta1 in Settings > BuddyPress > Components – uncheck Discussion Forums and Save. You don’t need to assign Sitewide Forums Page in BuddyPress > Pages. Just add the Sitewide forums slug in the custom menu.

In Settings > Forums, if you’re using “Forums” as slug, then create a page named “Forums” then add the forums shortcode/s you prefer https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

== no registration page and have membership enabled. ==
@labeshops You need to enable Registration in dashboard menu Settings > General

== Also noticed I get errors trying to change the avatar – says there was an error cropping it, please try again.==
1. Trying to change the avatar –> you mean you were able to upload and crop avatar before?
2. Are you able to upload and crop images in Pages > Add New or Posts > Add New panel?
3. Is this a new installation or did you upgrade from previous versions of BP/WP?

hey thats not a nice response.

I wont do it for you but the steps required are:

Learn how to create page templates in WordPress.
Create a custom page template that includes the BuddyPress login code. You can get this from sidebar.php.
Choose your page template as the front page in the WordPress admin.

These all require knowledge of CSS and HTML at minimum. You basically remove the wordpress loop and sidebar code from the page template and then fill it in with the login form code. Style it with CSS to make it look how you want.

This has been brought up in the forums before. I recall some causes to pre-filled profile fields in registration page:
– plugin conflict with an SEO plugin and a captcha plugin – can’t recall specifically which ones but deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress, then activating plugins by batches of three helped them identify the culprit/s.
– theme conflict where theme added options for SEO and the like

== This problem started after I installed pie-register, ==
Pie register is not compatible with BuddyPress.

== before installing that plugin, users were redirected to homepage ==
Were you using a custom theme or a members-only or privacy plugin during that time?

== but after I finish with deactivating procedure, where will I be able to check registration process? ==
Log out first. Then click on the link “Create an account” on the right sidebar of the default theme using a different email address.

Hi @creaturis,

I think the best solution is to avoid recording an activity if the post has one of the category you want to exclude from activity stream, in the functions.php file of your active theme, you can try this code :

function do_not_record_this_category( $post_id, $post ){

/* this is the array that contains the category to exclude */
$ids_to_exclude = array( 4 );

if ( 'publish' != $post->post_status )
return false;

$categories = get_the_category( $post_id );
$in = false;

if( count($categories) > 0 ) {

foreach ( $categories as $category ) {

if( in_array( $category->cat_ID, $ids_to_exclude) )
$in = true;

}

/* if the post has at least one excluded category, then we remove the BuddyPress hook that records an activity */
if( $in )
remove_action( 'save_post', 'bp_blogs_record_post', 10, 2 );

}

}

add_action( 'save_post', 'do_not_record_this_category', 9, 2 );

In 1.6 you can set the visibility of profile fields to logged in users, friends or anyone. I haven’t seen the behavior you’re describing.

== That is what I meant when I said I installed all the components to make sure BP was compatible. ==
Just making sure what you’ve done so far.

== I added one of pages BuddyPress created, “Forums” to my header. As you can see when you click on it, its blank. ==
Did you also install Group Forums and/or Sitewide Forums via BuddyPress > Forums? If you installed both, did you make sure the slug for Group Forums is not the same slug used for Sitwide Forums?

Viewing source of your login form, you have third-party plugin which controls the registration in your site and is in all probability causing the conflict. In addition, you have some plugins which have not been updated for BP 1.5.

Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme. Then check if registration process is corrected.
