BuddyPress.org

Single WP will work fine. MU is only to add user blogs.

See https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/custom-avatars-arent-shown-on-single-blogs-in-wpmu/, too

This looks like just a WordPress site without any BuddyPress in it?

Or is this just spam?

If you register through the BuddyPress registration, you’ll notice that your username will not be allowed to have spaces, capitals etc.

Same thing applies here, don’t let your usernames contain spaces.
BuddyPress just can’t parse the %20 (which is a space) and sends you back to the frontpage.

Start a new thread please and supply details about your setup.

@Giovanni hi,
I had a problem with Invite Friends plugin. My WPMU admin was messed up. Whenever users were trying to create a post or page on their blogs the Css was loading wrong or giving wrong outputs.

After disabling the plugin everything went ok.

I hope you consider checking that out.

Thanks

Take a look at Brajesh’s Global Search. It has functions to return search results for forums, blogs, members, groups and site pages/posts.

Creating The sitewide global/unified search Page for your Buddypress Theme

In the WP admin under BuddyPress in the left side bar you can create more than one profile edit screen. Click profile field set up. Then you can create things for users to fill out on their profile. The default screen is called base but you can change that name.

I think you might be barking up the wrong tree. Since you want to repurpose an existing query (the ‘my groups’ query) you don’t really need to alter the querystring. Instead, you should be altering the behavior of the query itself, which happens at the level of the bp_has_groups() function, as found in bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php. One of the arguments for that function is user_id; when one is passed, you know you are looking at a my-groups loop.

Ideally, you would be able to filter bp_has_groups() to detect when a my-groups-type query was being requested, and then hijack it and do a query just for hidden groups. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that there is going to be an easy way to do that in this version of BuddyPress. For one thing, while there is a filter on bp_has_groups, the original arguments (like user_id) are not passed along to the filter in BP 1.2.7 (it’d be a good enhancement request). Second, there is no way to filter groups by status (public, private, hidden) at the moment (that too would be a good enhancement request).

One quick and dirty way to do something like what you want to do is to filter bp_has_groups, grab the content of the group query out of the groups_template global, and remove the ones that are *not* hidden. It’s not an ideal solution for a number of reasons (for one, it screws up pagination) but it can work. Here’s an example off the top of my head (untested!)

`function bbg_hidden_groups_only( $has_groups ) {
global $groups_template;

// when we are looking at a my-groups page…
if ( bp_is_user_groups() ) {
foreach ( $groups_template->groups as $key => $group ) {
if ( ‘hidden’ == $group->status ) {
unset( $groups_template->groups[$key] );
}
}

// reset the keys so you don’t end up with blank spaces
$groups_template->groups = array_values( $groups_template->groups );
}

return $has_groups;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_has_groups’, ‘bbg_hidden_groups_only’ );`

There’s an issue tracker at trac.buddypress.org (same username:pw as you use here), where you should feel free to open tickets for ways that BP needs to be changed in order for your Open Social add-on to work. For more general discussions – when you are talking about extending BP rather than modifying it – this forum is probably a better place. There are certainly more eyeballs here than on Trac.

It’s possible that there will be a version of the BP buddybar that is built into the WP 3.1 admin bar by the time the next version of BuddyPress comes out. However, I do not think that the BP Buddybar will be taken out of BP in the next version in any case, as it would disrupt many people who have modified and extended it. Worst case scenario, the Buddybar will be taken out and put into a plugin so that site admins will have the option of installing it for that Classic Look

Thanks for the info. I have made it that far and have installed the forum but it is giving me a plain white page. How do I activate the forums?

@grow-stories this is an 8 month old thread you have dragged back up. please, in future, if you have an issue you require help with you must start a new post/thread and describe the problem in detail along with any applicable info such as version numbers , custom themes, plugins in use.

You activate the plugin in the usual place for plugins, you visit the BP menu section and configure any options you want such as forum install, extended profiles etc, then visit the theme section and activate the bp-default theme or suitable BP compatible theme you might have.

So I have a WordPress self hosted site and installed the BuddyPress plugin but I do not see where I can access the plugin to utilize it. Any help?
