the problem is that the script i wrote for BOW required that I branch the initial plugin. In order to get the blog comments to work, the settings needed to be saved in a multi-site format. Since then I’ve updated and improved the main plugin (without blog comments). It would take some work to re-integrate this code and provide an upgrade path to existing users so they would not lose their old rating/karma data. For this reason I don’t want to release the plugin I made for BOW. however he is free to pass it around if he likes. the best solution would be for someone else to invest in this re-integration. I could also put it up on github, but again, i don’t want to have two similar yet separate plugins in the wild. maybe I’m being to cautious. anyway.
@Darksminky What parts of the website would you recommend? The only reason I blocked parts of the site is because of profile privacy etc.
@mercime Ok I made the child theme, what do I do now? Also, I added define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, false); to my wp-config.php file, and a blank grey space comes at the top of the page where the admin bar should be, could this suggest problems with the coding?
The page you were looking for was not found.
Hi new to buddyPress and reasonably new to WordPress I’m getting and “page not found” message on the member page and most of the profile pages but not all the pages, groups, activity all seem to be there. Permalinks and mod rewrite working fine and I’m getting the correct URLs, member pages are “there” but with no content.
The latest version of buddyPress is running with WP 3.1 in a subdirectory. I’m wondering if the correct tables have been initialised I’ve got these:
wp_bb_forums
wp_bb_meta
wp_bb_posts
wp_bb_terms
wp_bb_term_relationships
wp_bb_term_taxonomy
wp_bb_topics
wp_bp_activity
wp_bp_activity_meta
wp_bp_friends
wp_bp_groups
wp_bp_groups_groupmeta
wp_bp_groups_members
wp_bp_messages_messages
wp_bp_messages_notices
wp_bp_messages_recipients
wp_bp_notifications
wp_bp_xprofile_data
wp_bp_xprofile_fields
wp_bp_xprofile_groups
Any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated
Is there any way to pass username as buddypress name and then hide buddypress name from registration page and edit profile page? I saw a plugin that makes the them use the username only but the buddypress name field still exists which is very confusing. Instead of hiding the buddypress name from different pages I want to make it the same as username.
@marto – in the functions.php of bp-default, change:
`require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/_inc/ajax.php’ );`
to
`require_once( STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/_inc/ajax.php’ );`
Awesome! I’m really happy with those results.. Beating Yoast is impossible since he’s not running BuddyPress.. so needs a lot less scripts 
And don’t forget I’m running about 30 plugins more then BP.org.. (not to brag or anything lol).
Hey guys,
Does buddypress work with a Yahoo hosted site???

You should be able to optimizing your site goes faster.
I came here to see if anyone else had any success.
Off of my head, there are no plugins like that at the moment.
But you could search for “Buddypress Suggestions” on google, might give you some answers.
Hi all,
I have seen articles claiming you can call WP functions outside of WP by adding to your non-wp site head.
Is it possible to do this with BP?
Eg so I show online member avatars on my home page (which is not run using wordpress, but plain old php ?
If so, how would one go about this please?
Hi one more time mercime…i notice something weird, when i’m changing something in css(this happens only to those pages that i have the issue) and inspect with firebug i can see the change is there, but when i use inspect element from chrom or from opera i don’t see the change and it evens grabs css styling information from another line of the stylesheet.
For example this is what i get(this correct) in firefox when inspecting a specific element:
`
div#content form#members-directory-form.dir-form div.item-list-tabs {
background: url(“../../themes/theme/images/members_directory_menu_bg.png”) no-repeat scroll left top transparent;
border: medium none;
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 17px;
padding-top: 15px;
width: 102%;
}
`
And this is what what i get when inspecting the same element in chrome:
`
div.item-list-tabs {
border: none;
overflow: hidden;
clear: both;
background: url(../../themes/theme/images/buddypress_nav_bg.png) top left no-repeat;
padding-top: 15px;
width: 102%;
padding-bottom: 17px;
}
`
if i remove `form#members-directory-form.dir-form` and keep only `div#content div.item-list-tabs` from my style it works also in chrome but it breaks something else that needs to use another background image and has the same id `div.item-list-tabs`
Please advice
Hi,
Sorry about my english I am not a native…
It more about the 2nd option: is the “old plugin” a BP-compatible plugin which needs updating to be compatible with BuddyPress 1.2.8 / WordPress 3.1
I have asked someone to do it in France two years ago but this person just disappears now..
And to be honest I don’t think I will be able to update it, my knowledge in php could be sum up by those three letters..
So maybe I am gonna post on this link you sent me..
Anyway, thanks a lot for the answer
Richard
I put the slide in bar there because the BP one had disappeared. Also, I have customised my footer to have links like “Support” and “Advertise” I will try out what you said, thanks
hey guys and @xyclops i did the UTC fix also but now i get these errors all the time is it ok or should i just forget about birthdays? meaning what’s more serious this warning?
] PHP Warning: timezone_open() [function.timezone-op$
@gunju2221 True, we all do
@gunju2221
Nope. You can allow access to any user role with WP Maintenance Mode plugin.
@gunju2221 no worries, checked wp-admin. it’s a test user account, not Site/Super Admin one.
@mercime, remove the Username and Psw from the above post. On any circumstance, the super admin Username And Psw should never be posted out in the open.
Your site is vulnerable to attacks, and everything else.
Hi Boone
Nope. Turned off all the plugins (except buddypress) and yes, we lose all the posts as soon as we make it public. On another install of Buddypress, it does the same thing.
@steliodj quick glance at your theme, for cross-browser compatibility, when you float an element, add width to the element as well. e.g.
`div.item-list-tabs ul li {
float: left;
list-style: none outside none !important;
margin-right: 10px;
width: 300px;
}
div#content form#forums-search-form.dir-form form#forums-directory-form.dir-form div.item-list-tabs ul li#forums-order-select.last {
display: block;
float: right;
margin-right: 35px;
margin-top: 3px;
position: relative;
width: 200px;
}`
As for the hover background showing up in statc links, add/define background in regular links for item-nav e.g. #ffffff
Has anyone found a plugin that would allow us to display a short list of members that have similar profile to the user?
You must go searching for the plugin you want, we can’t just think of the plugin off top of hand and list it for you.
Go to the Buddypress.org Plugins directory https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/
But, the best thing would be to search on google
@dukehm
Look in plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/index.php
== I have an old plugin that someone developped for my project ==
Your post title says BP 1.0.3 plugin. So that “old plugin” you’re referring is BuddyPress 1.0.3, right? Or is the “old plugin” a BP-compatible plugin which needs updating to be compatible with BuddyPress 1.2.8 / WordPress 3.1?
If you need to hire somebody, post here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/
If you want to explore upgrading the installation yourself:
– backup database and server files
– deactivate all plugins and change theme to default theme
– version upgrades of BP/WPMU and later BP WPMS
– download BP versions from here: https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags
– download WordPress WPMU/WP from here: https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
(MU versions in last table of webpage)
Better yet, if that install has not been used at all, drop tables and delete .htaccess and wp-config (after DB backup of course), and start from scratch – WP 3.1 and BP 1.2.8
