BuddyPress.org

this Plugin looks like a great improvement to the current page-navigation.
I do have around 2000 Groups and the navigation through the pages is quite difficult with the paging as we have at BP-Standard……

Not sure this plugin works with BP, but I would suggest @andy to improve on this.

Experiencing the same bug from here.

If you’re using a child theme, simply edit header.php and modify the wp_list_pages() line with:

wp_list_pages( 'exclude=14' );

You could try disabling a few BP components from the WP admin area. Login to the WP dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Component setup”. Disable features that you will not need.

The alternative is you could perhaps use a different WP social networking plugin like Mingle… that might use less memory.
Probably not what you wanted to hear!

Hello again,

First off, I’m a total noob to buddypress development, but better at regular wordpress development. So, here’s how I proceded:

1- in functions.php, I added two widgets, like this:
register_sidebars( 1,
array(
‘name’ => ‘showcaseImage’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘
)
);

register_sidebars( 1,
array(
‘name’ => ‘showcaseCaption’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘
)
);

2- I copy/pasted page.php and modified like this (removed loop and sidebar call):

<?php
/* Template Name: Showcase */
get_header();
?>

3- in _inc/css/default.css, I added this custom code:

#showcaseImage{text-align:center; width:720px; height:300px; overflow:hidden; margin:0 5px 0 0; border:1px solid #fff; float:left;}
#showcaseCaption{width:200px; height:300px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid #fff; padding:0 18px 0 13px; float:left;}

4- in settings, I replaced the homepage by this static one.

That’s the whole hack, I guess. By removing the default css id’s and classes from page.php, and replacing them with my own, I place the widgets wherever I wish. Maybe there’s a better way? Not knowing enough about buddypress, your technique seems complex to me

Next step (for you and me): add some sweet jQuery and make this a slideshow

Additional next step for me: document this in a tutorial, I’m pretty sure it will come up handy for many.

I have had this issue as well and I am running WP MU 2.9.2 w/ BP 1.2.3. This also occurred in previous releases of BuddyPress.

Hi, I’ve just created my first installation of buddypress and I’m having the same issue. Activation email hasn’t been received for 3 accounts I’ve set up with 3 different email addresses.

any ideas? thanks!

Billy

@pandragon, did you have success with fixing the crop avatar issue?

@chembro303 – I have the same issue, did you manage to find the form screen anywhere in regular WordPress?

@stef78 If the activity items already exist, you can try something like the following: http://pastebin.com/baERuzVQ

Obviously there are some holes to be filled in, but the comments should lead you in the right direction.

This is not, by the way, a very efficient way to handle it, as switch_to_blog() is a bit of a resource hog. It’d be better to keep those activity items from being written in the first place. Look in bp-blogs.php to see how the bp_blogs_record_post() function works. I suggest that you hook to save_post (like bp_blogs_record_post() is) witha lower priority, do your category check, and then unhook bp_blogs_record_post from save_post if the post is in the returned category.

There are better ways of expressing the sentiments in your last post read it back to yourself.

BP and WPMU are not apps I would consider running on what I presume is shared hosting, in fact if I had a shared hosting account trotting along nicely and I found out that the host was allowing people to run sites built on BP I would be off like a shot rather than hang around waiting for the inevitable server loads to become intolerable. I agree 64MB is a lot of script memory for php to need but the fact that WP might run in 32MB is neither here nor there BP is a much more intensive app, more than simply a plugin extension or WP. HAving said all that I maintain my own linux VDS for testing various work and sites on and that has the script memory limit set to 32MB and is happily running a full installation of WPMU + BP and a few plugins, it isn’t a active site though and it’s a dedicated server not shared hosting with many accounts consuming resources which I would guess is why you are immediately running into issues.

BP is best run on a dedicated server or virtual dedicated, that sadly is about all that can be said n the matter, perhaps not ideal from your point of view, but why not change to a VDS? they can be found for a good monthly price.

WP-FB-Autoconnect has been updated BTW
