BuddyPress.org

Your problem or BuddyPress ?

I think this is a funny thread.

I just found something, for BuddyPress web site activity, If you go to http://www.google.com and search for : buddypress.org bollocks187 I can then read my activity thread. I think there is a BUG on Activity threads in BuddyPress itself which has not been fixed. That is strange imo. Even for The BuddyPress website one would think that one of the programmers would write a PHP function which response to you clicks on “Activity” to do the Google search with your name so you do not have to do the search yourself.

A solution would be

I have hijacked this thread. The reason is when I try and LOOK at my “activity” as a signed on member to THIS web site BuddyPress – I have nothing in the activity section.

When I try and post in my area it keeps on coming back with “try again” – lol epic failure.

So I do not think its just your theme.

Here you go – https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

Go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components > Account Settings – should be checked to avoid errors in the meantime – Allow your users to modify their account and notification settings directly from within their profiles.

This has been fixed in trunk as a solution to a different issue but involving bp_get_settings_slug as well.

Hi @r-a-y and @stuffsone, I am new to php, WP+BP. Could you please help me with exclude few Groups From the Loop. I would like to create a general group and donot want to display it in the Sidebar. Can we use the exclude parameters of bp_has_group in widget_logic? If yes can you help me with the syntax?
Also I want to use the group functionality for Projects (as there is no plugin which fits the bill – I think I tried most of them ( Collabpress, BP GTM, Propel…)
I am planning to create groups as projects but want them to be displayed under project tab (and not displayed under Group tab)
do you have any other recommendation?

Hi @boonebgorges can we specify the exclude bp_has_group parameters in widget_logic for excluding some groups from getting displayed?

Appreciate your help. Thank you

Did you add these:
Set a custom user database table for BuddyPress (and WordPress to use):
define ( ‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, $tablename );

Set a custom usermeta database table for BuddyPress (and WordPress to use):
define ( ‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, $tablename );

Yeah, all Facebook/twitter logins create fake emails.

I had a similar issue weeks ago and nearly gave up on BuddyPress because of it. Today I tried a fresh [1] install of BuddyPress 1.5.2 with WordPress 3.2.1. I did have to wait about five minutes, but the email did come through.

Are you getting any error messages?
Try to log in with the new username and see if you get the error “you need to activate your account” (not verbatim) (Update: The error reads, “Your account has not been activated. Check your email for the activation link” in WordPress, I’m sure the BuddyPress error message is very close)

[1] I didn’t change any settings from their default expect (“Anyone can register”). The only other plugins that are activated are AutoChimp and JetPack, which shouldn’t have anything to do with this issue.

Hang in there! BuddyPress is a young project. If you persist, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

Yes with Google XML Sitemaps plugin v 3.2.6 on Wp 3.2.1 and Bp 1.5.1

The third panel down in the centre column ‘Additional Pages’ > Add new page

@CharlyNY if you’re in no rush, then wait for it. Or set up a test install where you could explore the options available.

@CharlyNY @komo whatever route you take, remember to always back up database and server files before upgrading. What takes a couple of minutes is better than hours/days worth of ^$#^$^&%%#^&^##.

hi neononcon,
it’s been a month since last reply but may i add my opinion here..
study carefully first about the features of BuddyPress (as well as other social tools) before u really implements it on your working site. yes, there are options to disable forum, if you don’t really want to use it. BuddyPress, forum, twitter, or FaceBook connect are great tools to communicate with site audience. install them all and your site will look perfect, but it can be overwhelming and time consuming to reply all questions here and there. technology evolves way much faster than good documentations

dear Charly, and other noobs like me.. mind this:

1. upgrading wordpress version with non wordpress-standard theme on it is bad.
2. upgrading wordpress version with non wordpress-standard theme which has it’s own widgets on it is worse, you need to rearrange module’s positions.
3. upgrading wordpress version with non wordpress-standard theme on it AND you have buddypress on it is even worse, see by yourself if you dare.
4. upgrading wordpress version with non wordpress-standard theme which has it’s own widgets on it AND you have buddypress on it with buddypress skin is the worst, makes u want to stop using wordpress anymore.. ever!

well, wordpress is good, but a noob is a noob. i messed up my site because of it, lol..

hi slushman,
try to login from admin link, not from main page. if u login from homepage, you’ll be treated like ordinary user, no admin dashboard will appears.
i have the same problem.. also with JetPack sending me to homepage again, nothing seems to happen and i still got the “Your Jetpack is almost ready – Connect to WordPress.com to enable all features. Connect to WordPress.com” message.
i don’t feel like it’s a bug though, maybe there’s something that we miss
i’m still figure out what i missed, that’s what makes me land on your post here.
