BuddyPress.org

I am following directions from:
http://wpmu.org/6-buddypress-power-hacks-you-dont-want-to-miss/

and

http://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

I placed define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );

into my wp-config.php above the “/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */” line.

I have the latest wordpress and buddypress. I have also updated my permalinks, yet nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong? I was in a live chat before with V and it worked for him.

Could this be a host issue? Like server rewrite or mod rewrite or something?

So it looks like this:

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Have just been informed by WPMU Dev that the above plugin whilst working on multisites does not work on Buddypress. I wanted this plugin so that in signup/registration form to create your own blog you could also set your Tagline on the same page which made it easier for novice users to the site.
So when they set up their blog name they setup their Tagline; whcih this plugin does but not with Buddypress.

Is their a way I could do this?

Is there any reason why the “Category Templates” plugin wouldn’t work with a buddypress installation. I’ve tested the plugin on a regular wordpress site and it works fine but when using it on my buddypress site it doesn’t recognize the single post templates I assign with the plugin. Does this have something to do with using a child theme to the default bp theme. Does anyone have a clear formula for using custom post templates for a category with a bp site? Thanks.

How can I add a field description to the username field please? I understand how to do this for the buddypress profile fields, but not this field – generated I guess by the core? Thanks in advance.

Hey ppls!

I’m currently using “WordPress MU Sitewide Tags Pages” to aggregate blogposts from my network on the BuddyPress frontpage but ran into some questions I hoped you could help with.

1) Is it possible to segment the blogs into different segments like (Teachers: English, Math, Sports etc) ?
I’d like to use a feature like that so I can make a news box where the users can choose which kinda blogs they’d like to see news blogposts from.

2) Can I force some blogposts to stay at the top of the aggregated blogposts?

Regards

Hi there.

I’m running a BuddyPress site over at exploringfoodandwine.com. Its part of a WP multisite install.

I’m trying to enable members of groups to create events and add others to them, but am not quite sure how to do this currently. I was fairly sure it was part of BP’s capabilities, but I can’t see how to enable it.

Bless,
Chris

Hi,

I have a buddypress site and although users are able to write in the post box there is no button to actually submit what has been written. Here is an example group:

http://www.scooterhub.co.uk/groups/grit-scooters/

As you can see the box is there but even when registered you can not submit the post to the group.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

Ollie

Ok so “buddypress-activity-stream-hashtags” is a great little plugin that converts hash tags into linkable search pages but I’d like to take it one step further and add a trending topics like loop to my sidebar. Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?
