BuddyPress.org

I haven’t had time to update the plugin (nor my community), but running BuddyPress 1.0.3 and WordPress MU 2.8.1, it shows up below the profile field settings in the BuddyPress secion of the menu.

Perhaps something has changed which breaks the plugin, causing it to not show up at all. If so, perhaps an URL like this will help: http://yourwebsite.tld/wp-admin/admin.php?page=buddypress_stats_wrap

No need for a duplicate of a recent post.

If you’ve migrated the users correctly, they’d only show in the BuddyPress members directly once they’ve logged in for the first time.

Create a child theme, copy in header.php from the default theme and change the heade element (“h1” from memory) and replace it with an image.

If you find out please let me know

When you create a new blog and use the default buddypress theme, it seems to attempt to create a new widgetized homepage…not a “blog”. I’ve run into this problem myself. The only “blog” using the default blog with the blog child theme out of the box is whateveryourdomainnameis.com/blog. I too would like to just use the “blog” child theme for the default theme whenever a new blog is created. I believe there has to be a simple way to accomplish this.

If I’m not wrong, you can just make the Buddypress Default theme available to users in the Site Admin–>Themes section of the dashboard, and disallow other themes.

I’d probably create a new child theme (blank, basically, so it’s identical to the Default Buddypress child theme) and name it after my site, then make it the only one available.

You can change the default WPMU theme if you want more than one available via a code snippet somewhere here in the forums that I have since lost the link to (check the stickies?) or with this paid plugin (which is in and of itself not worth the signup fee I don’t think).

This free plugin may offer the same functionality but I haven’t tried it.

Alternate: Don’t know if this still works. I haven’t tried it.

Well, I don’t know — I seem to have lucked out, or it’s just that my site is too new and so-far untrafficked, but the few very simple, small changes I made last week seem to have stopped the firstnamelastname19xx signups.

1) I changed the some of the text on the /register page.

2) I removed the “powered by” text in footer.php of my child theme (someone mentioned that it was being searched for)

3) I changed the register slug in wp-config.php

4) Added a functions.php file in my custom childtheme with the following code to redirect signups for all blogs to the Buddypress register page

function rk_signup_redirect() {

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-signup.php') !== false ) {

$url = 'http://mydomain.com/customregisterslug';

wp_redirect($url);

exit;

}

}

add_action('init', 'rk_signup_redirect');

where mydomain.com is, you know, my domain, and customregisterslug is the slug I changed in step 3.

I don’t think I changed anything else — no captchas or anything — and I’ve received zero splog signups in the 5 days since, after getting a few a day before that. Fingers crossed.

This is a simple question: once installed, where can I find the stats? I looked all throughout the “buddypress” menus and couldn’t find it.

Looking forward to help on the language’s. I’ve got buddypress translated to dutch and that works fine. After that I activated bbpress but cannot figure out where the language files for bbpress go ?

bb-config says: * bbPress Localized Language, defaults to English.

*

* Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen

* language must be installed to a directory called “my-languages” in the root

* directory of bbPress. For example, install de.mo to “my-languages” and set

* BB_LANG to ‘de’ to enable German language support.

*/

define( ‘BB_LANG’, ‘nl_NL’ );

Where is the root directory of bbPress when one installed it with the one-click install from within buddypress ? e.g. where does the .mo file go ?

I’ve looked through this thread and can’t seen any reference to my particular problem I don’t think.

When I try to upload new avatars to a new WPMU+BuddyPress installation the following message is displayed:

Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/terrywassall.org/httpdocs/blogs/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/3. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

There is a folder called:

blogs.dir 4.00 KB rwx r-x r-x Nov 6, 2009 apache apache

but it is empty and I do not have write access to it of change permissions.

Installation versions:

WordPress MU 2.8.5.2.

BuddyPress Version 1.1.2

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

PS I also get the following message when I try to upload a file (pdf so permitted type)

Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/terrywassall.org/httpdocs/blogs/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

I assume this is the same problem?

See here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-issues

The theme was build for an old buddypress, right now the theming changed so that old theme won’t work anymore. Ask him to update or switch to deprecated theme settings within your buddypress.

when the plugin activated the blank page appears

+1 have you copied the buddypress themes to themes folder and activated default theme.

yes, but after activate the plugin or activate the theme first I cannot log in the admin site again

@M: Good to hear from you! To me your chat plugin is still the most promising…! And I wait with others till you release it.

Ps: To me it seams already pretty mature (more than others who already released it. What about a test-version *smile* ?

Take a look at the “BP Member Filter” topic (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-member-filter#post-28748).

This is a good example of how to create filter extension for members. Principals / concepts will probably also work for groups.

@brentcee234

Upgrade to WPMU 2.8.5.2 and make sure you are using the default BuddyPress theme.

@duna1921

We have no idea about your setup so we cannot offer help. See this:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support

same problem. No idea about fixing yet.

What version of WPMU are you running? Are you using the default BuddyPress theme?

@roydeanjr

I’m not sure what you are asking. All of the code for Burt’s plugin is located in the bpcontents folder. Search the subfolders for any file whose name contains “widget”. Open those files, and you can find the code.
