I like this. Maybe even let it be expandable for other plugins to be able to use. Also if it handle dash board it be really good. I know there are tons of permission plugins but they are all confusing and non have buddypress support.
I think for my use I would just skip over certain blog types, but to answer @viniciusandre ‘s question I’d say that in order to achieve this you would have to change the query in the core… but it depends on which blogs you want to filter such as Paul brought up…
yep, thats what I was looking to do and was hoping I was missing an easy way to do this.. Thanx
Hey @dwenaus! Thanks for the help. I will look into wp_ajax_members_filter etc.
Disregard. Maybe I should read the codex first. For others, simply insert
Tags: buddypress
in the style sheet of your child theme, just under “Template: xxx”
@DJPaul: tks for the info, though it doesn’t make me smile 
I searched for other plugins that allow for bulk import that include xprofile fields, but I find none. Any thoughts on ways to handle this? direct import via mysql is not a good solution as my client needs as wysiwyg as possible.
Are we sort of in a “dead zone” now as people wait for WP 3.0 before coming out with plugin updates?
it turns out you can just define a different place to put the language file, so it’s no big deal really. for example, put the bp-languages folder outside of the buddypress directory and load it like so
`if ( file_exists( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-custom.mo’ ) )
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-custom.mo’ );`
@hnla and @boonebgorges: I found this plugin a while back and modified it to work with BuddyPress. Let me know if you need it still.
Anyone know how to stop sending the activation email? I don’t want to disable the activation function; I just want to stop sending the email automatically. I want to selectively send it. I figure I would just add this function to the manual approve plugin so I could either:
Manually Approve
Manually Send Activation Email
Delete the Signup
I’m getting killed with spam users (that are easily identifiable)

BP ajax is super slick, but a huge pain-in-the-ass when you’re trying to customize anything. That said, all the ajax goes through this file: /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php so you can try to filter bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring in the default theme or bp_ajax_querystring in your own theme. Then there is the function just below that relating to wp_ajax_members_filter that might be useful to hook into. There is some magic happening in loading the template, which I tend to work around but dont fully understand. Good luck.
You shouldn’t have any. I’d recommended backing everything up, switching back to the default WordPress theme and disabling all plugins (including BuddyPress). Then when you have WP 3.0 up and working, re-enable everything one-by-one.
Most of the early BuddyPress plugins were WPMU specific as that’s what BuddyPress ran on, and whilst a lot will work with regular WordPress, it looks like you have one that doesn’t.
I just re-installed my Buddypress site and switched from WPMU+Buddypress to just normal WP+Buddypress. The plugin here now appears to not work:
http://manojkumar.org/user-import-for-buddypress/
I manually uploaded it to my server and activated it and all seemed fine. But I can find no link to the plugin within my adm area. Maybe it does work fine but I can not find the link to where to upload users…. anybody have an idea?
Same problem. I’ve tried using a plugin that lets you add custom fields to your rss feed. (http://justintadlock.com/archives/2008/01/27/custom-fields-for-feeds-wordpress-plugin) but just doesn’t work, like buddypress adjusted the default wordpress feed generator. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix?
I have a crude implementation of getting Simple:Press forum posts/replies to show in the activity stream:
http://simple-press.com/support-forum/simplepress-forum-multisite/integrating-simplepress-into-buddypress-activity-stream/#p57963
Still working on it, but it works for me.
Try “registered users 2” ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registered-users-only-2/ ). It is compatible with MU and buddypress. I use it for one of my sites. “Authenticate” looks like it is very very old (only tested compatible up to wp 2.5.2)
Sorry I can’t help more 
There’s no database changes (to the schema) so you ought to be able to upload the old version of BuddyPress and away you go.
Everyone learns about making backups when they don’t make backups and this sort of thing happens 
It is set to that.
Thanks for your respond @piphut, but seeing my site is really not necessary.
Registration is open to everyone. I have a different plugin that makes registration only active once an admin approves them. That makes registration managed by admin prior to a user having access. Problem with only this plugin is that the site can still be seen (like the members, forums, groups, areas).
That’s why I installed the Authenticate plugin. When a user tries to go to “http://members.domain.net/members” they are redirected to the login page, wp-login.php. The plugin is also set to allow access to “wp-register.php” to allow registration. Well, the plugin is set to work with WP single user only because it’s set to allow “wp-register.php”. Issue is that WPMU does not use that file for registration. It uses an action direct to a part of wp-login, or something. I cannot figure out how to allow the Registration link to work under WPMU and the Authenticate plugin.
Could someone offer a suggestion, please? I tried the More Privacy Options offered by WPU Dev, but that failed miserably, too.
I think i now realize i’m viewing buddypress in a fundamentally wrong way but this is probably a testament to how well buddypress ‘feels’ integrated with wp. The theme folders of buddypress need to be viewed as an extension of a wordpress plugin rather than a template file hitting primarily the wordpress core as typical template files do. That being said i should be focussing my effort on plugin filtering/hooks and doing my activity stream tweaks as a separate plugin that listens for new blog posts and then does whatever required actions i throw at it. Am i closer to enlightenment now?
What @piphut said. Restore database backup and reupload BP 1.2.3 files and folders.
thanks 4 the reply.
Yes, I have the permissions set to 777.
Thanks for the links im looking at them now.
@takeo – just searched through the tickets and didn’t see anything. Do you have a link?
Hi @gibbyesl did you backup your site/database before upgrading? If so I would just restore.. If not I’m out of ideas and hopefully someone else can help you
