BuddyPress.org

To me (or for our Users) the Ajax-Chat is too much and too complicated (too man options). We would not need the full chat, only the little one. Group chat would Be great and showing in a simple way who is online… That would just be enough. No buddYbar-stuff, etc… To us, less would be more… So we are still waiting

Rich, @etiviti

this plugin kills new blog creation.

I’m on MU 2.9.2 and buddypress 1.2.1.

When a user goes to “create new” in the admin bar, they can fill out the url and title, but then it goes to some sort of weird screen with just a ‘blog directory” button and no admin bar.

How can you change the font and background of the BP Top bar on top of Atahualpa? On my site (www.thegrotonline.com), the reversed out font fades out so much you can’t see it…

I can’t believe that such a problem is not discussed to the point of being already solved.

I am sure that there are so many people who got wp installed in a subdirectory.

Two days ago I wrote an in-depth topic about just that. Please read it here.

It was TOTALLY ignored by the community.

I don’t care if it is the discussed here or there, as long as IT IS discussed, and not ignored.

Really, is there only 3-4 people with wp in a subdirectory and don’t want a permalink configuration such as: mywebsite.com/wordpress/activity?

C’mon…

(Oh, by the way my site does work with that setup, I just don’t want the subfolder in the permalinks, and yes, that represent a big issue for me).

Okay, is WordPress working fine before installing and activating BuddyPress?

Also, which version of WordPress and which version of BuddyPress are you using?

You need to look at your error logs to find out more details–both PHP and Apache logs. Your host should be able to give you access.

Finally, you can try adding this to the top of your .htaccess file:

### Set PHP directives ###

php_value memory_limit 96M

You may need to decrease that if your hosting company has not allocated that much memory for your account. You can try 60 then 30, for instance.

Ok, here I am.

For making buddypress a private commmunity, do the following:

-Create a new page in the admin interface.

-Make the page not to show in navigation with one of these: (http://www.kimwoodbridge.com/how-to-exclude-pages-from-the-wordpress-navigation-bar/ ) (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/)

-Fill the page with HTML (as you wish). If you want Widgets, you can follow this: http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

-Now, use this in the top of ALL PAGES NOT TO SHOW TO GUESTS: (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/securing-components-from-non-logged-in-users/page/2)

if (!is_user_logged_in() ){

bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain.’/register’ );

}

AND REDIRECT THEM TO THE PAGE YOU CREATED BEFORE.

AND THAT’S IT!

How are you installing BuddyPress. Are you using the plugins search form in WP admin and automatically installing it from there? Are you manually installing it yourself? Or, are you using a service, an install script, that some Web hosting firms provide?

Also, can you confirm for me that WordPress works fine before you installing BuddyPress.

Okay, let’s try something else. Back up one step by deactivating BuddyPress once again. Next, make sure that you are using the default WordPress theme. We are trying to make sure that WordPress is working by itself without issue. I assume it is, since you have to activate BP from the Admin panel. But, let’s do this anyway.

Once again, before doing anything, make sure you have backed up your Data and have offsite copies of any non-default themes and your plugins. It is just a standard precaution that makes it much simpler to restore your environment if anything goes wrong.

Next, you’ll want to remove all your plugins from the “plugins” directory. Of course, you first have to be absolutely sure that you have deactivated them all before doing this. You should copy your existing, deactivated plugins into a temporary folder. That way, you can add them back into your empty “plugins” directory after everything is back up and running.

Now, you should have WordPress with the default theme and zero plugins in the “plugins” directory. Make sure that the plugins folder is still there. It should just be empty.

Does WordPress work without issue in this bare-bones setup?

If so, now you reupload the BuddyPress plugin into the empty “plugins” directory. Then, activate it. What happens?

If the plugin is activated, then the registration to buddypress is not possible. 404 error on registration activation page.

That is the best news today!

Many thanks jozik for updating to latest BP !

Very much appreciated !

@boone

Any way we can get check boxes by member’s names to add multiple members to a group at once?

Also, i wonder if there could be some integration here with a master-forum (like we’ve been discussing here https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/use-forums-without-groups)

maybe adding the “auto group join” features in to this.

Just some thoughts. I appreciate your plugins lots.

I kind of figured that, but it sounds like you’ve got a handle on it!

I guess my next question is would it be possible to add a subnav item to “My Favorites” for bbPress topics? This is just to avoid another nav item.

Re: bbPress favorites. Sounds cool!

Would this hook into the existing BP “Favorites” system?

Did you go into the left sidebar of the dashboard and enable / setup the forums component (called ‘forums setup’ under the buddypress box)?

I also found that once that is done, you have to go into a group / then group admin , and enable forums posting there too..

Please mark this as resolved if it fixes your issue.

Rich,

2 more dumb questions…

First, where is the “@ mentions” part in the BBCode that @3sixty is referring to?

Second, should we be activating both BBCode and Shortcode sub-plugins?

My bbpress install is inside buddypress (so not external).

Thanks!

@gregfielding

The answer to your Q is yes – you can use a child theme for topic.php.
