BuddyPress.org

If you’re talking about a user introduction to BP, then no.

Everything on codex.buddypress.org is geared to developers.

Though you could probably check any site that is powered by BP, chances are a BP-powered site will have a FAQ guide somewhere.

“there is no way to edit topic tags once you have added them … “

I agree – https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2281

In the meantime, I just added the necessary code and brought it over to my child theme.

Could be I got the same issue here. 2.92 WordPress (single user) and latest BuddyPress installed via BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.

With nothing disabled in BP general settings, everything enabled in component setup.

There is no “create group” in the “groups” tab. Only “My Groups” and “Invites”. Clicking the “groups” tab goes to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupedoll/groups/ which seems fine.

But I want forums. And it seems forums are a property of groups. So I need groups. How to create groups?

(After much confusion) I enter MANUALLY: http://ultimatecultureclash.com/groups/create/step/group-details/

This goes to /groups/create/step/group-details/images/images/bg_body.gif which looks good. The heading says “Create a Group” and there’s input fields for “Group Name” and “Group Description”.

But entering group name, group description and pressing “Create Group and Continue —->” button only reloads blog homepage and creates nothing.

Here’s more examples. “Activity” tab + “Personal” tab resolves to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupe3903doll/activity/just-me/ which is probably right. But “Profile” tab + “Edit profile” tab redirects back to home page.

How weird is that?

And one more thing I noticed. When tabs resolve where they should? I get logged out. But when tabs redirect to home page? I remain logged in.

Hi – just checking to see if anyone else has this working on the current version of Buddypress? I’m having some difficulty – it doesn’t seem to work – people aren’t actually joining groups even though I specified the correct field values (I think).

Anyone else? Thanks.

Thanks @dweanus, that solved the problem. However, I just noticed a new one crop up: In the Forum topics list view, a topic’s rating number is not showing up in the Ratings column on any of the sub-pages, only on the first page. You can see at Wordlab — http://www.wordlab.com/forums/ — you might see a couple topics on the first page with ratings listed in the Ratings column, but if you click on the subsequent pages, you won’t see any, even though some topics have been rated.

with notepad++ you can search and almost find what you want…

It’s not the best thing to install WPMU in a subdirectory when you’re using a subdomain install.

Is there a valid reason why you’re not installing WPMU in the root?

Also because you installed WPMU in a subdirectory called “blogs”, it is conflicting with the BP_BLOGS_SLUG, which by default is also called “blogs”.

Either install WPMU in the root, or install WPMU in a different subdirectory name or try renaming your BP_BLOGS_SLUG to something else to “user-blogs”.

To rename the BP_BLOGS_SLUG to something else, add the following to wp-config.php:

define ( 'BP_BLOGS_SLUG', 'user-blogs' );

Re: the blog title, change that yourself by using this function:

echo get_bloginfo('name');

Ausgezeichnete plugin, Herr Sven !

Nice. Btw. there are already a crazy amount of options…

Good to see someone do stuff in the SEO direction, thanks Sven! One thing, after activating this

label {

font:bold 12px Verdana;

}

messes with my dashboard making all labels bold in the backend. I don’t know wether I’m doing something wrong or the label should be targeted differently?

Hey Aran, I could not get this to work at all with just regular WP, but after deleting and installing WordPress MU in its place, I was able to get BuddyPress to work with no problems. Very strange…because I was able to install BuddyPress with just a regular install of WordPress 3 days ago on another site.

Seems to me that good practice for admin panels is to add them either under Site Admin, Site Admin > Options, or BuddyPress. That way the current_user_can/is_site_admin provisioning is already done for you.

Nice – could you update it so it uses bp_init please? Thanks, all explained at the top of the first post:

I deleted your other thread. I’ve accidentally submitted duplicate threads before.

@Diesel Laws, you’re right. There is no Miscellaneous settings in WPMU because avatar uploads go to

e.g. BP in main blog_id_1

wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/ plus folders for user 1/ 2/ 3/ etc. and

wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/group-avatars/ plus folders for group 1/ 2/ 3/ etc.

Can you see if your avatars and group-avatars folders were created in the /files/ folder?

If they have been created, can you see the images uploaded as avatars in the 1/ 2/ 3/ etc folders inside avatars and group-avatars folders?

If not, you might want to check folder permissions in your server, if 755 does not work then try 777 at /files/ folder. If that still doesn’t work, CHMOD 777 the /1/ folder

In addition to the thread https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-issues ,

you could also deactivate all plugins and change to default theme, then re-upload BuddyPress via FTP or cpanel. Then activate BuddyPress plugin and bp-default theme and see if uploading avatar works.
