BuddyPress.org

Please make a new post, @ri-kun. This one is two months old and is on a different topic. We’ll reply in the other post, but what I think you need to do is go in and remove everyone from the root blog (they’ll be assigned as a ‘contributor’ or other user role by default). An alternative would be to edit the template so it always skips that item; I’m not sure what the consequence of removing that default user role would be.

Unless you want to run multiple sites (the correct terminology, not “blogs”), you don’t need to run multisite. Regular WordPress will be fine.

There’s no technical difference as to how to structure your site. If you just want your site to look the same on the homepage, but for visitors to dive deeper before they get into “BuddyPress land”, then maybe sticking everything under what appears to be a directory would be best (take a look at the URL for this page, for example. We’re under /community but the main blog isn’t).

The post you refer to is over is 16 months old(!). Please would you make a new topic with full details of your install so we can try to help. Thanks.

@miri
If you switch to the default theme (BP-Default), does it work?

@rhivanz: If your site running on WordPress MS, you can put BuddyPress in the sub-blog, so all BuddyPress features, including user profiles, put there. About how to make it, can be viewed at https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings

It is just a list item with the class “bp-signup no-arrow”. It doesn’t work pasting it directly into the bp-core-adminbar.php file, if you paste that into your header it creates a navigation bar just the same but only with the links you put in it. I’m still working on figuring out the php to generate the “My Account” and “Notification” links.

There is a new plugin called BP Plugin called humanity, check it. I also require the TOS to be checked (also a plugin). We’ve had little to no Spammers so far… knock on wood.

I am having this problem with WordPress 3.0.1 and BuddyPress 1.2.5.2. I’ve disabled every plugin except for BuddyPress and I keep getting this error in Firefox’s error panel:
Error: jQuery(“#avatar-to-crop”).Jcrop is not a function
Source File: http://www.bladdyblah.com/groups/test/admin/group-avatar
Line: 38

Viewing the page source, I do see that the following js is being included:
http://www.bladdyblah.com/wp-includes/js/jcrop/jquery.Jcrop.js?ver=0.9.8

The uploaded avatars are there an in multiple sizes, but the crop tool doesn’t appear on the page (thus the javascript error). This happens with both user and group avatars.

Any ideas?

Are you using a normal WP theme? If so you have to install BuddyPress template pack plugin.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Then in admin>> reading chose a different front page

Ugh I’m having this same problem. Everyday I get at least one or two ‘fake profiles’ where they answer questions with ‘johoabjdvbajsldhfs’. I have the CAPTCHA plugin installed and it’s done nothing so far. Each ‘user’ also creates a blog, one was about world of warcraft and the others have been about cars. It’s HIGHLY annoying to have to sift through and mark each of these users as spammers.

@brainwaves

Other question. Is it possible to do the same thing for groups activity ? And for users activity ?

@brainwaves
You’re my hero. Thanks !

Can you guys help me with this:

@alanchrishughes: Thanks for the reply

Is there any way you could pastebin the code? It looks like the forum may have mangled it a bit.

@hnla

Thanks for the update for WP3.0! I’m still trying to find my way with basic php and am just now getting my head around functions, actions, hooks, et al.

To whit, I discovered my code is causing the Community dropdown (contains all BP links) to appear in the adminbar in member sub-blogs. The WP pages do not appear in member blogs though.

If I turn this code into a plugin (and I want to try my hand at that) I think would be good to include the option for super-admins to include/exclude BP and WP dropdowns in member blogs. I can’t figure out how to code that though. Any suggestions?

I think this is the same solution as @Svenl77 posted http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-the-global-facebook-like-button-to-buddypress-profiles-and-activity-stream-items/

For my PRIVATE groups, I did the following to enable forums.

First, I reinstalled the forums from the dashboard (superadmin )

Then, from the buddypress nav bar, I followed
My Account > Groups > Admin >

Under the Admin submenu, I selected Group Settings and did the following:

UNchecked the “Enable discussion forum” checkbox
Clicked save
Checked the “Enable discussion forum” box
Clicked save AGAIN

That enabled forums in the private groups.

Still trying to figure out why these posts are not showing up in the main forum tab though…. ((scratches head))
Hope this helps someone else.

EDITED: Duh! The forums of private groups do not show up in the general forums page! Related, the site Pressography.com posted the phpMyAdmin version of the fix I outlined above: http://pressography.com/wordpress/daily-tip-fix-for-buddypress-group-forums-error-when-creating-a-new-topic/

Thanks @gottowik. I’ll give it a shot!

This is a weird bug. It shouldn’t show the RSS link on an AJAX request. If you have any other plugins or custom code running, please disable them and only have BuddyPress and the BP default theme running
