Dont touch any core files or htaccess before trying this:
Before an upgrade or moving to other hosting save your template folders created by “BuddyPress Template Pack” for your custom WP theme (members and groups)
Check inside your theme folders for each:
members/single/
groups/single/
there should be many subfolders and files
Some hosting providers does not copy files under some subfolder level
if those folders are empty copy those files from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default and paste inside your custom theme.
Please reply if this helps
Hello,
i have buddypress and 40 plugins running. the side is very, very slow. there are not more than 20 users at the same time online and maybe 50 users a day. i want to get the side becomes high speed. my question:
should i change to a webserver (root, vserver, managed server) or a better webspace?
some plugins need some configurations like buddystream. and i dont want to migrate every moth if more users visit the side. i hope you can tell me what i should do maybe with the url of a good server or webspace (if possible germany).
thank you and sorry for my bad english!!!
If you can revert to an older version of the .htaccess, it might be worth a test. 500 errors suggest that WP is not even loading in the absence of BP, which suggests that there might be something funky happening at the htaccess level.
Simple enough to try but you don’t overwrite these types of files ever always change it’s file name i.e turn it into a backup then upload another version, it’s a basic *nix principle.
I am using the WordPress plugin Theme My Login in conjunction with BuddyPress. I want to redirect users to view and edit their profile upon logging in, and serve up other BP user links as User Links via the plugin. However, whenever I try to pass a username, Theme My Login strips out the php code required to generate the dynamic user-specific links.
For example, how would I serve up the username in the following URL:
http://www.site.com/members/USERNAME/profile/edit/group/1
Any tips?
Hi all,
Following up on a reader complaint, I found that when someone subscribes to my Buddypress enabled site with Google Reader using the main ULR (threesheetsnw.com), the reader automatically subscibres them to the sitewide activity feed. So instead of just seeing out latests posts, the reader is getting all the sitewide activity and it floods their reader.
I fixed the problem for him but suggesting he use our RSS URL (via Feedburner) instead and that worked. But is there any way to have our RSS feed, not our sitewide activity, be the default for Google Reader and others?
Using the WordPress 3.1 and Buddypress 1.28 with a theme from WPMUDev.
Thanks!
@boonebgorges – I really appreciate your help on this. I think I have, mainly to do with expiration on files, do you think that will do it? I should be able to grab an .htaccess from the original wp zip file and overwrite the existing one.
Yes, I think I understand what you are suggesting. But I am saying that it is not possible at the moment. Groups, forums, etc, are universal in a BuddyPress installation. With some customization, you might be able to show certain groups only on a certain subdomain (using the BP setting BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG) but I don’t know of any plugin that will do this out of the box.
I agree and I attempted to limit the sub pages displayed when we restyled the bp-default dropdowns so one couldn’t nest a series of pages 20 deep as that is in a similar vein to too many top links, trouble is with a theme one can’t really dictate these matters that’s up to the user to manage, but my puzzlement was that this reviewer didn’t understand that and passed the comment that they did, really it wasn’t something that ought to be commented on.
I made a custom component( x-object ) and use the following code to post update in activity stream. It works perfectly.
Then, I made another component( y-object ) and use the following code(replace x with y), — Neither component can post updates when they are both activated, can only active one of them.
`function bp_xobject_activity_custom_update( $object, $item_id, $content ) {
if ( ‘xobject’ == $object ) {
return bp_xobject_post_update( array( ‘type’ => BP_XOBJECT_ACTIVITY_ACTION_COMMENT, ‘xobject_id’ => $item_id, ‘content’ => $content ) );
}
}
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_custom_update’, ‘bp_myobject_activity_custom_update’, 10, 3 );`
If I remove this line:
`if ( ‘xobject’ == $object )`
then, both components can post, but their activities cross over to all other component’s activity page.
Need help desperately.
Please forgive me for calling the magical names.. @r-a-y , @boonebgorges
Attached to the online magazine I run is a social network/citzen journalism site. I’ve been using a service called Ning to run it, but Ning became a paid service a few months ago and it’s costing too much money to continue using it.
I want to switch over to using an open source program like buddypress. The idea would be to install it on my company’s server, and then transfer over as much of the existing content in bobalicious as possible, using the export/import functions. Is this easily possible? I’m new to this and don’t really know where to start. Any help is appreciated.
BuddyPress Like plugin might provide similiar feature.
Last year, it announced V0.9 to include statics in Dec., but the developer has been missing since then.
Thats what I want each site should show the same members but I only want to have sperated groups area (incl. Forums)..
@boonebgorges
I mean if you go to france.mysite.com you should see groups for french people and you should also be able to move to germany.mysite without logging out.
Sorry for my bad english but I hope its clear now.
and thank you for helping
@r-a-y , @Dankicity thank you for your replies. Yeah I can’t get this to work either. Following r-a-y’s steps all I get returned is ALL of the activity items, sorted chronologically. That’s likely because my code sucks though 
If anyone gets this to work, it would be awesome! It’s the only thing left to sort out on this app I’m making 
Good websites dont have many links, it just confuses the user.
*puzzled* what does he mean??!! and he also pointed out that having a crap load of menus will kinda break the theme point out to him that a crap load of menus is the result of users adding pages and the way BP-default is coded, horizontal links are never wise with dynamic sites where you can not account for links generated. Using the new WP menus the user can control this aspect I thought @modemlooper was reviewing BP submissions?
I have a site running WordPress (3.3.1) and BuddyPress(1.2.
The problem we are experiencing is on registration and changing the avatar via the profile it doesn’t save. You click the “Upload Avatar” button an get taken to the crop screen fine. But when saving from the crop screen back to the “Sign up complete step” or “the change avatar step” it saves a default avatar. It saves fine in FF.
WordPress has been set to MultiSite. I have noticed that in IE and Chrome the site seems to cache pages. Even though we have disabled all kinds of caching. The site has been locked off to outside users only displaying a tabbed login box. If you need access to see I can create a user on our demo server.
Here is the link to the phpinfo.php file for the server. http://successacademy.biz/phpinfo.php
I have also cloned the Groups module into a Company module. ( but i tested with a fresh unalted copy of bp and its still didnt work in IE or Chrome.)
Have you done any customizations to .htaccess?
@boonebgorges Deactived W3 Total Cache – didnt change anything…
Hi @boonebgorges I have a whole host of plugins running, 41 in total a lot of those are extending BP, I can list them if you think it will help.
I can switch all of those off and the site will run, it’s just when I switch off BP do I get the 500 error.
Cloudflare is a caching/CDN system
I woke up so mysteriously one day, went to my site, went to a buddypress profile, and with a shock, came across this weeird error in buddypress
`Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bp_core_set_avatar_constants() in /home/***/****/****/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 12`
I am using bp 1.2.8, and wp 3.1, i tried removing everything, but it’s still there. What is wrong!!!!!
P.S, I’ve tried searching for this, but nobody has had this before. Whaaat??
Thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot more sense.
Go to Dashboard > BuddyPress > General Settings, and look at the setting for “Hide admin bar for logged out users?:” Does it say Yes? Try switching it to No.
I’m guessing that users are not being added automatically to the BP root blog (a situation which would have been irrelevant in non-MS mode). It’s possible that either the setting I mention above, or something about the way that WP eMember handles membership in an MS network, is interfering with the way that the admin bar is conditionally displayed.
Okay, I’ll try to be clearer…
I’m using a theme I converted to be compatible with BuddyPress. I know it is now compatible because when I first installed BuddyPress it worked perfectly. All the BuddyPress menus appeared at the top and I tested every page. I’m using WP eMember membership plugin and it worked perfectly with BuddyPress. When logged in as either an Admin or regular user I could see the top BuddyPress menu and everything worked perfectly.
Then I activated WP multiuser mode…
After activating WP multiuser mode, I can only see the BuddyPress menu on the front end by using my Admin account. If I try creating any new accounts through either WP or eMember, they are unable to view the BuddyPress menu. Originally, I thought these new members were unable to view any BuddyPress pages, but now it appears that if I manually try to access different pages, the new members ARE able to see BuddyPress pages. So IT IS ONLY THE BUDDYPRESS MENU THAT DOESN’T WORK FOR NEW USERS. However, the BuddyPress menu DOES work for my Admin account.
Obviously something happened when I activated multiuser mode and I have no idea what it could be. If anyone wants to register for a free account to check it out feel free: http://magneticquest.com/registration/
All I need to do now is figure out how to get the BuddyPress menu to appear for new users.
At the moment, there is no way to do exactly what you are trying to do, without having totally separate WP installations. BuddyPress gets its member data from the WP user table, which is shared among all sites. That is, there is no way to distinguish between a france.example.com and a germany.example.com site from BP’s point of view – each site will show the same members.
That said, have you considered using BP groups for countries? The URLs wouldn’t look exactly how you want, but everything else would be similar.
It’s a pretty good idea to deactivate the BP theme before deactivating BP, though strictly speaking it should not be necessary. Having a BP theme active while deactivating BP will mean that visitors to your site will see a white screen. However, the Dashboard of your site should still be available. You should *not* be seeing 500 errors when you attempt to visit http://example.com/wp-admin.
I’m not sure what cloudflare is – I looked at their site and I don’t get it. Is it a caching plugin of some sort? It’s possible that a caching plugin might cause this sort of problem. Generally, what other plugins are you running?
