BuddyPress.org

Two things come to mind:

1. Create a new plugin for a customized Prayer component
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/
or
2. Why not create a Group called e.g. “Prayers” or “Prayer Requests” instead so that way you rely only on native BP group creation.
You could change the design/layout of your Prayer Group Pages via a plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-css/ or by adding custom body_class to your Prayer Group Pages and then tweak CSS in your theme’s style.css file

Yes, it does work.
“but i must update BP manually” well there might be a problem where its timing out or something via automatic upgrade, thats why I said try uploading it manually..

Well is there anything that you need in there ( buddypress ), if not then just try deleting the buddypress folder, ( should be able to log into admin panel now? ), upload buddypress manually to wp-content>plugins and try activate it.

“can’t figure out what happened”
Did you just upgrade WP or BP? Did you add/delete plugin? Did you install new theme?

By default it will be activated on site id = 1. My brain’s turned to mash today, but it’s the Site Wide Only: true and Network: true links in bp-loader.php which you could try editing out.

To everyone else: someone remind me why BuddyPress force-activates as sitewide?

Hi @Nit3watch
I’m going to assume you’re editing groups/groups-loop.php, hopefully in your theme and not the core BuddyPress files

Find this bit near the top of the file:
if ( bp_has_groups( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘groups’ ) ) )

And change it to something like:
if ( bp_has_groups( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘groups’ . ‘&per_page=5’ ) ) )

This very question just popped up on our Launch… Please check this @r-a-y et. al… Seems like there was never an answer here….
Using WP 3.0 and 1.2.5.2

I’ve started a group for BP Hosting: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-hosting/forum/ It still needs some love, but has a little information about various BP hosts.

r-a-y you say there are personal feeds in buddypress. How do I find my personal feed for posts I write in BP? Even if I do not have all group activity, my own feed would give me some choices.

Otherwise, I am also looking for a plugin to track group activity.

Bumping this thread because I just wasted half an hour not reading it carefully enough. My loader function was using bp_init, which was too late to catch bp_setup_nav. Beware!!

They do, but only for registered users.

If you have unregistered users posting comments, try BP Include Non-member Comments

BP Include Non-Member Comments

@travel-junkie – that’s an interesting plugin – we had a project a few months back where it would have been useful. I’ve also just posted to say we need a job board on BuddyPress.org. I’ve got a couple of projects that could use a freelance BP developer, but nowhere to advertise the opportunities.

I would also love to be able to do what @gtn is proposing. I’ve been able to set up a ‘News’ page that I can publish posts to which helps, but in the blogs listing, the main site blog is still linking through to my static home page rather than domain/news as I would like.

How do you make the page to be down panel when the user is logged out,so I want panel to stay down before you login ?

Here’s the link to my post about my plugin:

@nit3watch – I’m also from SA but I host all my WP/BP sites abroad.

i wrote an experimental plugin that will replace (or tack on) activity comments to a blog post – (only tested it on the main blog)

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-as-blog-comments/
(example: http://etivite.com/2010/04/what-does-it-mean/ )

BuddyPress shows blog comments in default! Please check your settings in backend!

I’m guessing that if you can login with your facebook account, you can also login with openID.
Perhaps you can rewrite the plugin?

Note: This plugin probably doesnt work with the latest and greatest WordPress 3.x and Buddypress 1.2.5.x

Hi all

Same problem here

@paul following your suggestion i can login but after changing back the name of plugin´s folder and try to activate BP I get the same permissions erros spotted above

I´ve tried with a WP 3 fresh install with multisite off and then on but the results are the same.

Any issue with the last version of BP and WP 3?
Any clue will very appreciated

thank you all

the other fix is to change the function in the BP functions file. You’d have to keep track of that change on upgrades to BP. I still think you can remove it via remove_action.

@r-a-y can you help at all?
