BuddyPress.org

If you don’t want to get into the database, the simplest way would be to create another administrator account, logging in as the new admin, and deleting the user named admin.

PS: @hnla Buddypress now works with regular WP, too.

don’t forget to vote for and rate other buddypress plugins you’ve tried: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/buddypress

Try modifying some of these settings in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php or in wp-config.php:

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 50 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 50 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );

Code revised to give protection even if buddypress gets deactivated: adds a second line of defence by hooking a wordpress action too. I’ve assumed that there’s no conflict here, but I don’t know if these two hooks collide. It seems to work ok.

add_action( 'send_headers', 'wp_lockdown');

I pasted Burt’s code to the end of function.php and I get a blank page

Did I miss something?

[wordpress2.9.2 + buddypress1.2.1]

Works 100%.

Note that using this method, if buddypress became deactivated, all of your site’s posts, and the comments, would become completely visible.

Is this what you are looking for?

I’ve submitted a ticket for the issue of wp-login not being registered as a root_component:

There’s a patch attached to that ticket, to make the necessary changes to bp-core.php

And here’s my revision of the lockout plugin:

Some feedback on the Funding progress bar: maybe you could set it to a more reasonable amount so there’s a goal to work towards and we can actually see the progress bar move after a donation. 9,000 USD might be a bit steep

@ catinw12

Um, I’m not sure what you mean. Are you asking if I purge the older buddypress folder, upload the new one, then uploaded the any files I’ve customized? Yes. I left that detail out. That’s why the backup is essential! I made sure to overwrite some standard BP files with the saved customized files I’ve created.

I’m experiencing this too. Running BP 1.2.1, WPMU 2.9.1, PHP Version 5.2.9-2, Apache 2.2.11 (Win32). On the previous version, the Who’s Online work perfectly, on the current version, I just get the annoying “There are no users currently online”.

I know that there are at least 16 people online, but for some reason, they are not displayed. I Google’d for a solution, but have not (up to now) found anyone experiencing this with the new version.

BuddyPress 1.2.1

WPMU 2.9.1

PHP 5.2.9

MySQL 5.0.51a

Apache 2.2.11

OS Windows Vista Business 32-bit

Theme: BuddyPress Default 1.2.1

Plugins: BuddyPress 1.2.1, Simple LDAP Login 1.3.0.3

Yeah, it seems to work fine by replacing the three lines of the username block with mt_rand. However be sure that there are letters somewhere in the value, such as the “mem” above. Buddypress will throw back an error without letters.

Also this probably wouldn’t work with large websites with thousands of people, as the chance of generating the same username goes up. You’d probably have to write a function that generates a long string of random letters and numbers.

So, how many people are employed by Auttomatic to work on this project?

One. Andy.

I’ve been poking around for some time and I’m a little surprised that not one person has been confused by the complete lack of security in BuddyPress.

You need to poke around a little more.

Also, privacy is on the BuddyPress roadmap.

As Andy states, implementing privacy in BP or any social network is not an easy task. I am working on updating my older privacy component to work with BP 1.2 and WP/WPMU 2.9.x. It will be awhile longer before I have a working alpha for testing. But, privacy is coming to BuddyPress!

BTW, yes, I understand the principles of customing skinning and css but what I am asking is that it surely must be a fairly simple implant or template linking.

you’ll need to create a new theme for bbpress, as i don’t believe a bbpress look-like buddypress is available

On the backend, whenever I go to “edit profile” to set a marker and I click search, it sends me to the top of the page and does nothing. Any ideas for me? I’m running WPMU 2.9.1 and BP 1.2.1.

If you use the standalone BBpress option, how can you make it use the same template as the integrated Buddypress/BBpress installation?

Thanks

I am trying to make a general forum any member can access without having to join a group or being limited to only that group or groups.

you are right, this seems to be a bug:

1)

– I have created a Private-Group at testbp.org

when I am logged-in, then I am going to the “Group-Forums-Directory”, it is currently not possible to select this “Private-Group” from the drop-down-box in order to make a post into the Forum of this “Private-Group”.

It is currently only possible to make a Forum-post into this “Private-Group” by going to the “Group-Tab”, then search for that Group and make the post directly within the Group-Forum. But it is not possible to make a Forum-post from the “Group-Forums-Directory”.

2)

also when posting a Forum-post into a “Private-Group”, my own post is actually not visible for myself within the Tab “My Topics” at the “Group-Forums-Directory”.

Well, I would actually want to see MY OWN post, even if it is in a “Private-Group”.

It is also not possible for myself to see MY OWN Forum-post within the Tab “All Topics” at the “Group-Forums-Directory”.

3)

Note: this issue is showing when being logged-in.

4)

nice analysis ~ I’m also duplicating those errors with the core_redirect pointed to wp-login.php I’d bet Jeff has a good handle on this and I sent a request to help him test the upcoming release. I don’t have a copy of his old release to adapt or modify (if anyone could point me to, or send me the old copy, that might help).. but the hack i put up previously has worked like a charm for me making some pages private while leaving others public without having to expand this into a full on plugin with user options. I simply call that custom header for any pages I want to keep private.

What theme was it? Some themes are pretty straightforward, some are a nightmare. (I’m working on a pile of them in my “spare time”)

I don’t really believe Buddypress will support this (at least not untill Buddypress 1.4, and even then only if lots of users demand it), their might be a plugin of some sort that allows it though. Shouldn’t be that hard to copy the data to the buddypress version if that happens.

@Xevo

My point was what if BuddyPress supports this at a later date which in my opinion it will. He should have scope for importing that in the BuddyPress then. no?
