BuddyPress.org

@travel-junkie thanks for the reply. I will get it this week for sure. I tried getting the signup plugin, but every time i tried to log on in the processing checkout it did not recognize my username or password…any ideas?

“BuddyPress Auto Group Join” only kind of works. It requires that you have multi-site enabled for it to work.

I can’t figure out how to unload wp_enqueue_script() files Has anyone done this before?

@imjscn If this is urgent I would recommended that you edit the default theme’s functions.php and delete the wp_enqueue_script() line. Remember this is only temporary and when you update BuddyPress in future, it will get added again.

@hcleary

Please try upgrading to the newest version of the theme, which you can download at buddyboss.com. If you have an old version (from a week or two ago) there was a bug with this exact issue.

Michel, this forum is quietest at weekends. Please allow a day or two before re-posting to a topic; if you haven’t had a response, then people probably don’t have an answer.

As you can tell from the trac ticket you found, when it was previously reported, no-one figured out exactly why this was happening, so we couldn’t fix it. Looking at a comment on the ticket now, someone seems to think that if you put the following line into your theme’s functions.php, it might resolve the issue:

remove_action( 'pre_user_login', 'bp_core_strip_username_spaces' );

If the ticket covers the same problem that you have, this might be a fix. You can tell by creating a new user account once you’ve put that into your functions.php. I cannot guarantee that this would not cause any other issues. Indeed, I can’t understand why BuddyPress does this anyway, without spending a couple of hours investigating.

The issue seems to be the presence of spaces in the username/log in name. If this does fix your issue, please would you give us a sample of username/log in name so I can investigate.

This is the post on the automatic refresh

Download link works.

Try activating Twenty Ten theme and see if the BuddyPress theme fixes itself.

@travel-junkie I am in the united states and would love to purchase the plugin. I went to the site and tried but it kept asking for a domain license when I tried to add it to the cart. What is that? and do I need it? also what is the conversion rate for US dollars? thanks

@nahummadrid check out both plugins by @modemlooper

@desha, You’re welcome. You add new style in active theme’s style.css file.

I’m having the same problem.

On an older (v. 1.2.5.2) BuddyPress site on it’s own WordPress (3.0.1) install I was able to upload avatars just fine.

Now, on the latest BuddyPress (v. 1.2.6) driven subdomain on a WordPress (3.0.1) network site, I’m having this upload problem. The error message specifically is:

“Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /group-avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

Seems like a bug in the latest version. As @BionicClick pointed out above, this very site (buddypress.org) has the same problem!

@tubruk: Be sure to enable “BuddyPress compatibility” on the plugin settings page

there are several plugins you can find on wordpress.org plugins for frontend posting, there is even a buddypress frontend posting plugin around here somewhere.

you could also use http://gravityforms.com which is the premium route.

or you could do it yourself http://wpshout.com/wordpress-submit-posts-from-frontend/

ah and there is the option where you can leave access to the dashboard and just css the heck out of it to make it look like the frontend.

I like both the gravity forms and dashboard theming options.

Maybe yo can try the Ucan post plugin http://cartpauj.com/projects/ucan-post-plugin/ . I’m not a hardcore buddypress user so I can’t help you with a BP only solution.

Or, you might want to install the BP Wire plugin (ala Facebook wall)
