Hi all,
It’s only three days old so still in development phase, but I’m very excited at what Buddypress can bring to us and we can bring to Buddypress. I’m a combat vet who got started in promotion and marketing with sport organizations and various other brands after leaving the Army, and I’ve got some real good people around me in a lot of areas – less in website development.
We’re at PRLuv.com
I thought this was an interesting post and posted a reply to the OP about Buddypress and what they need to do to further expand their funding and development abilities. http://bp-tricks.com/featured/the-current-state-of-buddypress-a-critical-anylyzis-of-the-project/
@mercime:
I am suppose to be looking for something called “networks” to create multiple networks with the plugin “WP Multi network” but I dont see this link any where under network admin….Ideas?
for refrence: wp multi network
What I have is network settings and network set up. But no “network” option
Hi
I have two fields: ‘First Name’ and ‘Last Name’ under base during registration.
Is it possible to hide the mandatory BP ‘Name’ field, and somehow combine the values from First Name [space] Last Name into the hidden ‘Name’ field.
I really like how BuddyPress utilizes full names via Name, but I really need to separate that data since users cannot seem to comprehend it for some reason.
If there is an easier way to accomplish this I’d be much interested.
Thank you in advance!
Open up activity/index.php and replace at the top:
`
`
with
`
`
at the bottom of activity/index.php, replace the bottom part
`
`
with
`
`
Note: You would also want to change header tag in activity/index.php from
`
`
with your theme’s header tag for seamless look
`
`
Save activity/index.php and upload to server. Then do this for the remaining 12 files as indicated in Step Three of this codex page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
OK, thanks for your speedy reply!

So I am wondering is this possible on a multi site installation?
–> Two buddypress instances running on seperate blogs…
Why would I want this? One would be for a social experience for people to just come and chat and enjoy the company of others, while the other is for a game.
So I wonder is this possible? Currently I have multi site with buddy press on one blog – can I have a second installation of buddypress on a SEPERATE blog?
@mericme Ownership actually is the problem. Looking at the file ownership, the files that the bp-template-pack transferred to my theme have a different owner than everything else in my theme. And, due to the jacked up way i was looking at my filezlla, I was thinking they were actually transferring when they are indeed not. So now i need to change ownership on those files and folders. It’s strange that no one else has had the ownership issue though. I let bp-template-pack copy all of the files for me and it created this different owner.
@ribena_wrath you’re missing the opening `
` which are supposed to wrap around the widgets. If you need further assistance, open up you active theme’s page.php, copy all therein, then paste to pastebin.com, click submit, then copy the generated URL and post here.
@Mike84 that is really strange. Curious, what WP theme are you using?
== I’ve tested by editing mytheme/members/index.php and changing the container div to something completely off, so as to see it in firebug. But, upon viewing mysite.com/members, i still see the content and padder divs. ==
– Do you have any cache plugin on? Deactivate it.
– Where do you edit the BP template files – download to computer and edit it there then upload or do you edit in cpanel (and might have forgotten to save revision)?
== Therefore making it impossible for me to edit the permissions which are currently set to 644? ==
You own those files. I have no problem changing permissions in my server. Are you on Windows server?
oh and btw, my site is star-finder.co.uk
Hi all!
I posted here a while ago but for some reason my post was deleted.
I’m having a pretty big error with Buddypress that is annoying the hell out of me. My sidebar appears under my content area, only on Buddypress pages.
I used the plugin that converts a theme into a Buddypress compatible theme, but it looks like there is an eror somewhere. Some help with this would be great. Thanks guys!

2 – You would have to write some javascript that does the refreshing. I don’t know of any ready-made implementations.
3 – There’s no automatic way to filter these out in BuddyPress at the moment. You could write a function that would take them out of $activities_template when hooked to bp_has_activites.
I have a member site with about 800 members in it. I have had this site handed to me after issues with the previous webmaster. They had disabled being able to add groups after they did the initial config. restricting the groups is not by plugin or any hacking that I can located from the research. I was interested in feedback about a re-install of Buddypress and the what the repercussions from it would be to the membership (profiles, media, established groups) ? Thanks in advanced for any thoughts on it.

@pengume, goto admin dashboard, under buddypress click general settings, you will see Disable user account deletion?: change it to yes and save. thats it, you done user will not be able to delete account. you can now write contact …….@,,,,,,,,,,,, to delete your account in your FAQ .

Since the bp-template files were transferred originally transferred by bp-template-pack, would this mean that I am not the owner of the files? Therefore making it impossible for me to edit the permissions which are currently set to 644? I ask this because I cannot change permissions on the any of the template files. Anyone?
@mercime I still can’t seem to edit the correct templates. Ive tested by editing mytheme/members/index.php and changing the container div to something completely off, so as to see it in firebug. But, upon viewing mysite.com/members, i still see the content and padder divs. Any ideas??? Driving me nuts.
I have wordpress website which is installed buddypress already. On that site search not working inside activities in buddypress groups. i need only result of search in buddypress group activities. please let me know if have any solutions.
thanks in advance.
Progress: I found the BP function in the core and figured out how to alter it to achieve the effect, but I can’t figure out how to do this in the function.php file instead of altering the core file.
The function:
`function bp_core_add_notification( $item_id, $user_id, $component_name, $component_action, $secondary_item_id = 0, $date_notified = false ) {
global $bp;
if ( empty( $date_notified ) )
$date_notified = bp_core_current_time();
$notification = new BP_Core_Notification;
$notification->item_id = $item_id;
$notification->user_id = $user_id;
$notification->component_name = $component_name;
$notification->component_action = $component_action;
$notification->date_notified = $date_notified;
$notification->is_new = 1;
if ( !empty( $secondary_item_id ) )
$notification->secondary_item_id = $secondary_item_id;
if ( !$notification->save() )
return false;
return true;
}`
and adding the following above return true; made it work:
` if ( $component_name == ‘messages’ ){
return false;
}
if ( $component_action == ‘friendship_request’ ){
return false;
} `
@andrewteg:
Thanks so much for your reply and for explaining things to me.
I think I understand the situation now but the new function’s script is appearing at the top of my webpage above the header. I have also received this message: Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /webroot/s/m/smoke019/primary/www/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
in /webroot/s/m/smoke019/primary/www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 934.
Do you know if there’s something that has to get deleted from the second file the warning message mentioned in order to get this conflict to go away?
Thank you again.
@valuser – Thank you so much it worked 
I’ve heard a rumor that its possible to migrate all existing Google Group posts and member date to buddypress using SQL scripting. Anyone know how?
If not, anyone else know how I would go about doing this?
Sorry I am not answering your question but how ru using 1.5 on your site?
Hi, I’m totally new in BuddyPress, and now I’m just looking for answers and I’m reading the documentation.
But I already have a doubt, if someone can help me, I’ll appreciate: there’s some way to customize the categories and profiles automatically with options added in the register page?
For example: When I’m registering at the website: I like sports, so I will choose a sport background picture for my profile, and I will create a Sport category. The thing is: can I (or the hypothetical user) add the background to the category and profile?
I’m sorry if I’m not clear enough. I hope someone understand me!
