BuddyPress.org

Depending on whether you’ve turned on the components at Dashboard > BuddyPress > Component Setup, BP provides extended user profiles, an interactive activity stream, private messaging, user-creatable groups (with integrated activity streams, forums, and other functionality available via plugins), blog tracking, friend connections, and member/group directories. The toolbar at the top of the screen is one of the methods built into the UI for accessing these features. If you’re using a BP-compatible theme like the bundled bp-default, then you should also see tabs for Members, Groups, Forums etc near the top of your screen.

testbp.org is one place to see BP being used (for test purposes, obviously, but you can get a sense of the organization).

How are you trying to delete the user? From the WP Dashboard? Does the problem persist when BuddyPress is turned off?

If you’re experiencing problems deleting users via the WP user management panel, then it’s probably not strictly speaking a BuddyPress problem. You might try deactivating BP (deactivate BP-dependent plugins first!) for a moment, to see if you’re able to delete members with BP turned off. If not, then your problem is WordPress related.

The strategy is this: Create a bp_has_members() loop, passing the user id along in the include parameter (see https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/ for more details about the members loop). Then, inside of that loop, use the member header at buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/member-header.php as a template for creating the friend link, message buttons, etc.

Yes, you can do this with the xprofile template functions, which are located at buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php. Use the profile loops in buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php as a template.

It doesn’t use Comet technology… it’s just a name.

@M why should choosing ruby as a programming language be a mistake?

Sounds like your server is running on IIS.

If so, read this for a potential solution:

is_feed() is what you’re looking for. However, I would use travel-junkie’s code as it’s cleaner:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-private-community/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-44616

Modify this line:
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )

with:
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || is_feed() )

If you install standalone bbPress at example.com/forums/, then you need to tell BuddyPress to change their forum slug to something else. Otherwise, there is a slug collision.

This can be done by adding the following line in wp-config.php:
define ( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘discussions’ );

“discussions” can be changed to anything you desire. Now your BP group forums will reside at this new slug.

I don’t know if those tutorials are out dated, but when like I said when I integrated the two the other day the buddypress groups just took them over. I’m obviously going to keep looking anyways hoping I screwed something up, but I don’t know.

Around where you include your sidebar.php, try something like this: http://buddypress.pastebin.com/1KeQHxEx

I have made fresh, clean installs of WP 3 as multisite and Buddypress 1.2.5. While everything works OK avatars uploaded at BP are not shown in WP blog, blog comments etc

I posted a demo link at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-show-bp-avatars-in-wordpress-blogs/

Does the demo version ay buddypress.og works okay with WP multisite blogs – is there any demo?
This bug is actually making Buddypress 1.2.5 unusable.

Seems like I could have added some kind of IF ~whatever the FEED function~ RETURN to the Registered Users Only 2 plugin and achieved the same thing… but I don’t know what the “whatever the FEED function” is to add… @r-a-y

@r-a-y I used your code suggestion and some that I found in Restrict User 2 With Viper’s original Restrict User Plugin
Found here http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/registered-users-only/
because I wanted the site to be restricted to registered users only… still allow access to the login/activiate page and ALSO allow access to the feeds…

I ended up with this.
// Depending on conditions, run an authentication check
function MaybeRedirect() {
// If the user is logged in, then abort
if ( current_user_can(‘read’) ) return;

$this->exclusions = array(
‘wp-login.php’,
‘wp-signup.php’,
‘wp-register.php’,
‘wp-activate.php’,
‘wp-cron.php’, // Just incase
‘wp-trackback.php’,
‘wp-app.php’,
‘xmlrpc.php’,
);


It appears to be working… Do you have any thoughts on the above? Thanks

Is this software based on true Comet technology or is it simply using the same name without actually using the actual Comet technology?

I ask because true Comet technology requires a server-side listener service, which isn’t possible with 99% of all hosting companies out there.

As far as I know I can’t remember a plugin that does that. Sorry. The best I know of would just be a forum. You might try checking out the modified Classified Ads plugin too.
