BuddyPress.org

I like the idea of “Category Groups->Sub Category Groups”. This makes sorting by type of group so much easier.

@pisanojm check out this plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-forum-extras/

Am I the only one having a problem with the widget?
Everything is on top of each other and smashed together. Is it just me, I can’t believe no one would have mentioned it.

Sorry, no link to show since I can’t exactly leave it on my live site like that.
Is this a bug? Are the images only supposed to be a certain size to display properly in the widget?
Did I mess a setting somewhere?

Any help is appreciated.

Problem with that though is that if Buddypress changes the structure, this won’t work in the future?

I have tried using the bp-custom.php file and it hasn’t solved my problem. If I get it wrong, it some how messes up all the images on my site, including the ones that make no references to buddypress. I’ve tried all the solutions listed here. When I follow the URL to just the image, it says it can’t find it or I don’t have permissions. I’ve checked permissions and they should let me see the files there…

Any other solutions anyone has found???

We are using the BuddyPress Album plugin… So far it seems to be working… Check it out in the Extend section of buddypress.

You can add any type of category/question to the profile…

Why not just leave it on the notification page? So far, you haven’t removed the functionality. You’ve just removed the navigation to see some of that functionality. So, if someone does the @username they’re going to get a notification unless you disable that also. Plus, not many people are going to look at the notifications page anyway;-)

To your question, I think you would have to remove the action and write another function that doesn’t display the mentions settings. You’d just need to test what happens when save is clicked and that setting isn’t passed. Maybe you pass it as a hidden variable or something.

Or…it looks like this plugin might fit your need: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-auto-group-join/

@zlamczyk: I think we are trying to work on the same thing.

I am getting spammed (bad) and they are simply using the activation email to approve themselves. My thought was just do a manual approval to either “activate”, “send activation email” or “delete from wp-signup”.

I have modified manual member approve for BuddyPress so I can see the signup table and manually approve members.

I just need to stop the automatic sending of the activation email. Do you know how?

I’ve simply tried commenting out the following line in wp-core-signup.php to test, but it’s not working.
wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $message_headers );

This is the function; but for some reason the activation email still goes out.

I’ve been trying to add a call for the excerpt for each “Latest Post” in blogs-loop.php (“Blogs” subtab in member profile) but, as I’m a php noob, I wind up with excerpts from ALL posts. (At least I got something. )

Would you happen to know how I can get just the excerpt for each corresponding Latest Post to show?

Any help is appreciated!

If you’re moving to WPMU, forget about BuddyPress at the moment. Once you have tested that WPMU is working correctly, then you can install BuddyPress.

@thekmen – try this plugin, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/, gives you many options.

@wordpresschina – I have the same issue as you. One theory for a solutions is to use the import for Ning plugin, .

You will see in the comments that I asked @boonebgorges if he thought it might be possible to use a regular CSV instead of one generated by Ning. He responded that in theory it should work because the only two required column headers are “name” and “Email” and any other columns would “sniffed out”.

WARNING: I have not tried this yet and therefore can not tell you if this actually will work.

If you do try this and have success please let me know.

We’ve just made modifications to the new BP Album+ beta that fix the problem you’re describing.

Get it here:

This thread has the closest solution I’ve found: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/i-would-like-to-disable-email-activation/?topic_page=1&num=15 Still has a couple issues to workaround though.
