Did you have BuddyPress activated before you switched to S&S? If not, that’s why.

Andy,

I don’t think that’s the issue. However i am also not sure it is buddypress related, i did some more testing and found that creating a user from the backend does not send confirmation mails either. Private messaging within buddypress is working great however. So it is in my case NOT buddypress related.

Has anyone else found a fix for this yet or a way to reset? This fix does not work for me: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/wrong-avatar-and-gravatar-after-bp-update#post-40465 I am only having this issue with the theme that was activated during the upgrade. All other themes seem to work.

Who is the author of the “simple_buddypress_profile_privacy” plugin? They need to update their plugin so it doesn’t die if BuddyPress is disabled:

Nice, makes me want to get an Iphone

i’d like to use it later on .. and if you’re looking for betatesters or translaters (german) i’ll be there …

would very much like to have something like that on my site, similar to facebook profile badge

Ugh.

okay, I shall test again.

i needed that plugin too but failed to find so i created one, it is not very well written and i am still testing you can see screenshots from the link given below

I went a different route to do the same thing.

Installed a plugin called ‘Page Links To’

Then I just pointed the page links to section of the page editor to the /member/, /groups/, /forums/ urls. no coding, took a few min.. just be sure to setup the pages with proper parent/child and your good to go…

Here’s the code for a sub menu on the right side of the header with subnavigation:

Header.php

<div class="navwrap">

<ul id="dropmenu">

<li<?php if ( bp_is_front_page() ) : ?> class="home_active"<?php endif; ?> class="home">

<a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>



<?php if ( 'activity' != bp_dtheme_page_on_front() && bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) : ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG ) ) : ?> class="activity_active"<?php endif; ?> class="activity">

<a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>/<?php echo BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG ?>/" title="<?php _e( 'Activity', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Activity', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>



<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) || bp_is_member() ) : ?> class="members_active"<?php endif; ?> class="members">

<a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>/" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>



<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) : ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) || bp_is_group() ) : ?> class="groups_active"<?php endif; ?> class="groups">

<a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>/<?php echo BP_GROUPS_SLUG ?>/" title="<?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>



<?php endif; ?>



<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li&'); ?>

<li class="tricks"><?php echo preg_replace('@\<li([^>]*)>\<a([^>]*)>(.*?)\<\/a>@i', '<li$1><a$2><span>$3</span></a>', wp_list_categories('echo=0&orderby=name&exlude=181&title_li=&depth=2')); ?></li>

</ul>

</div>

CSS that goes with it:

/* Navigation */

.navwrap {

-moz-border-radius:8px;

-webkit-border-radius:8px;

background:url(_inc/images/top_bg.png) repeat scroll left top;

float:right;

margin:43px 0 0;

padding:10px 10px 3px;

}



#dropmenu,#dropmenu ul {

font-size:15px;

line-height:1.5em;

list-style-position:outside;

list-style-type:none;

position:relative;

width:100%;

z-index:300;

}



#dropmenu a {

color:#FFFFFF;

display:block;

font-family:nevisBold,"Trebuchet MS",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

font-size:13px;

margin-left:2px;

padding:0 10px 0 17px;

text-decoration:none;

text-transform:uppercase;

}



#dropmenu a:hover {

border-bottom:4px solid #EFEFEF;

color:#555 !important;

text-shadow:0 1pt 1pt #FFF;

}



ul#dropmenu li.selected a,ul#dropmenu li.current_page_item a {

list-style-image: url(_inc/images/home.png);

}



#dropmenu li {

float:left;

padding-right:4px;

position:relative;

}



#dropmenu ul {

display:none;

position:absolute;

}



#dropmenu li ul a {

-moz-border-radius:8px;

-webkit-border-radius:8px;

background:#FFF;

border:1px solid #333;

float:left;

height:auto;

margin-bottom:1px;

margin-top:5px;

padding:3px;

width:150px;

}



#dropmenu ul ul {

top:auto;

}



#dropmenu li ul ul {

left:12em;

margin:0 0 0 10px;

}



#dropmenu li:hover ul,#dropmenu li li:hover ul,#dropmenu li li li:hover ul,#dropmenu li li li li:hover ul {

display:block;

}

Finally some javascript that you can put in your footer for some nice effects:

<script type='text/javascript'>

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

jQuery("#dropmenu ul").css({display: "none"}); // Opera Fix

jQuery("#dropmenu li").hover(function(){

jQuery(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "visible",display: "none"}).show(268);

},function(){

jQuery(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "hidden"});

});

});

</script>

You should tweak the .css and remove some unneeded images/padding/margin etc. Good luck dude!

You’ve more or less got the structure correct.

– I don’t believe “title” is a valid attribute for li and ul tags. If your goal is to display the word “Community”, you’ll have to put it outside the tag like so:

<li>Community...

– I assume that your purpose is to make the Community submenu (Activity, Members, etc) a dropdown menu that is invisible except when you hover over the header Community. That’s a CSS issue. I recommend you find a WordPress theme (or any website, really) that has such a feature, look at the source code and especially the CSS, and emulate the necessary rules. You could also check out a tutorial, like the “horizontal” menu bar described here: http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/tutorial/.

Good luck!

Andrea , I don’t think so, have latest versions of wpmu/bp and downloaded latest version I can find, for instance buddymatic is https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddymatic and the auto install on wmpu. This is the same for Sense and Sensibility, btw. white screen o’ death

@andy

As buddypress grows with new “objects”, there is an opportunity for designers to work on graphical grammars and ways of representing those objects.

Why not add a “designers” menu.

where we could find groups for themes of course

but also : icon sets, avatar generators, …

try this plugin

http://dev.benoitgreant.be/blog/2009/11/buddypress-sitewide-featured-posts/

It shows in a widget all the site wide selected posts

You don’t need WPMU to use BuddyPress.

If you are testing this on a new install, I’d advise you to start from scratch.

Get WP, then get BP and everything should work.

Read this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/

This is great – I was just about to add a “freshness” link to the last column on my install (just like they have on this forum). Thanks!

@heathj85

Please either PM Dave or post on Dave’s support site for his plugin:

http://getpaidfrom.us/groups/buddypress-ajax-chat-support

Dave doesn’t frequent these forums often.

I’m having the same problem and I have version 1.2.6. Is this a settings error or a bug?

BuddyPress doesn’t create any pages (at least not in the current version).

It should be safe to use the BP Template Pack plugin.

But, as always, make a backup of your filesystem and your database just for safety measures.

Also, before making any changes on your live site, you should have some type of development site so you can test things like BuddyPress on it without worrying.

So far the best option I’ve found are group tags: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-tags/
