No, it looks like there’s no way to do it. It shouldn’t be that way, though – would you mind filing an enhancement ticket at trac.buddypress.org?
Thanks for your replies so far. I too had set $bb_attachments =”read”, which had worked until recently. Changing it to “participate” hasn’t fixed the issue either, despite the fact that logged in users have the participate role turned on.
I’m currently using the Eventpress plugin and it seems only the administrator of the site can add events via the wordpress dashboard. Is this correct?
Is there another option that normal registered users can create their own events?
Sorry – didn’t see your reply https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bb_attachments-roles-for-uploading/
We should close that other thread. I’ll have to study `groups_is_user_mod()` rather than `bb_current_user_can()`

`I just looked through the monthly BuddyPress.org site stats –
655k visits in October 2010, 323k visits in April 2010 (six months ago), and 201k visits in October 2009 (one year ago)…`
The graph looks great!
Yep – tried `read` instead of `participate` but that didn’t work.
Actually, you should try setting them all to ‘read’. It’ll still be limited to logged in users in virtue of the fact that BP itself only allows members to post in forums.
I’m not near a computer at the moment, but I’ll try to figure it the problem as soon as I can.
Howdy y’all!
Be forewarned, I am a techno-klutz. If it isn’t transparent, I usually won’t see it (pun intended, thank you very much) I am trying to set up the forums on my site. I am using bp 1.2.6 & wp 2.8.5. I have yet to upgrade to 3.0.1.
In “component setup” in the buddypress menu, I enabled forums. I configured the forums using an existing bp set up. I got the file name from my ftp and everything. It said that it was configured correctly. Now what?
Um… you know, like where is it? There isn’t a link on the site. There doesn’t seem to be a reference to it in the dashboard: not in the plugins menu, not a widget, nothing. How do I access the forum from the site to put them into use?
This seems a ridiculous question even for me to be asking, but I really haven’t a clue. Can someone please help?

@bowromir: hey bowe, your screenshot page is broken: http://bp-tricks.com/buddypress-slick-screenshots/
Nice theme, I like it.
I ran into the same problem and have gone through the functions’ roles to find an answer. Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution.
forum-attachments-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php
lines 46-51.
`global $bb_attachments, $bp;
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to see list of attachments = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to view inline reduced images = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to download original = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”participate”; // minimum role to upload = participate/moderate/administrate (times out with post edit time)
$bb_attachments=”moderate”; // minimum role to delete = read/participate/moderate/administrate`
Obviously do not want to give upload moderate or administrate to everyone …
Next, the plugin Members was installed, edited “Subscribers” to have upload_files capability and still no joy.
As hnla suggested, the topic is covered extensively on these forums. You can try a search using, ‘white screen’ (https://buddypress.org/search/?f=white+screen)
Before going too far, you might try to increase the php memory limit via the wp-config.php file first. If your host allows it, you can also change the setting in the .htaccess.

i would replace the settings ` ‘screen_function’ => ‘bp_core_screen_general_settings’ ` used in the nav_item with your own set of functions
Hi
I’m trying to write my own custom functions for Buddypress:
on the file called bp-core-settings.php there are 2 functions which define the layout + style of the users settings page.
`function bp_core_screen_general_settings_title() {`
and
`function bp_core_screen_general_settings_content() {`
I created my own functions in bp-custom.php and removed the actions:
`remove_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘bp_core_screen_general_settings_title’ );
remove_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘bp_core_screen_general_settings_content’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘bp_custom_core_screen_general_settings_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘bp_custom_core_screen_general_settings_content’ );`
For some reason it will add the custom functions to the settings page, but it will not remove the default ones. Am I doing something wrong?
Sorry, this is the code for my header
`
<?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo('name'); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); if(get_bloginfo('name') != "") echo ' – ' ; bloginfo('name'); }
elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title(); }
elseif (is_page() ) { bloginfo(‘name’); if(get_bloginfo(‘name’) != “”) echo ‘: ‘; single_post_title(); }
else { wp_title(”,true); } ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/script.js”>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="” href=”” />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="” href=”” />
<link rel="pingback" href="” />
`
I need to remove the
Archive for the ‘NAME OF CATEGORY’ Category
from my posts. How do I do this?
This is what I have on my template:
`
`
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="; charset=” />
<?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo('name'); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); if(get_bloginfo('name') != "") echo ' – ' ; bloginfo('name'); }
elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title(); }
elseif (is_page() ) { bloginfo(‘name’); if(get_bloginfo(‘name’) != “”) echo ‘: ‘; single_post_title(); }
else { wp_title(”,true); } ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/script.js”>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="” href=”” />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="” href=”” />
<link rel="pingback" href="” />
`
`
Then the RSS at the bottom of my page:
I need it to be http://mysite.com/dev/page/feed
So I did that, but it does not work.
My code currently
`

Yeah I just wanted to be sure the regression was real before reopening the ticket. Thanks. 
ps : could you check my previous post which has still no answers ? See https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/strings-containing-new-lines-like-emails-content-are-not-translated/. Thanks.
Hello folks,
I’ve used BP to create an intranet for our students here at the colognegamelab.
So far we’re really happy with buddypress, I’m constantly triying to improve the intranet by adding/exchanging plugins, tweaking on the visuals, etc.
Now I’ve a kind of tricky problem/request from the students/tutors, hope you can help me out:
We’re using the groups in order to organize semesters / teachers / tutors. Now it would come in very handy if professors/tutors could see everything inside the students groups (+ also get updates via Mail) without being an actual member of the group or simply not being displayed as a member of the group to keep things clean. is something like this possible?
I dont know how to find out who the owner of the directories is? On the permalinks page I only can change the structure, nothing else. I do not really know what you mean, what I have to do on this page.
I tried to deactive all plugins except Buddypress and activated the Buddypress Default Theme. Same issue with that! I cant believe that this is a server issue, because the avatar pics still exist and it problem came up since I updated…
Hi @inakie – have you found a solution for this? Interested!
“The primary theme is buddypress enabled,”
@zenzard – what primary theme? Per your post, you’re using “Ecolines” theme from repo, but I can’t find any such theme there https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
1. Build a bp-default child theme – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
2. Open up style.css file of child theme and override fonts, colors and widths of parent theme elements by adding new styles for said elements
Hi!
The ticket #845 (http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/845) has been closed but the core templatetag function bp_format_time still uses “date” instead of “date_i18n”. How to use then internationalization ?
Thanks
Thanks @Chouf1 it looks like a good lead – but unless I pay for help its beyond my minimal skill levels to implement it..
I guess I could start be looking at functions.php and wp-includes/kses.php ?
However Im beginning to think that this is not just a question of getting html in
but also of displaying pictures or other media in an extended profile field on the profile page.
I used a plugin which seemed to keep the html intact – but nothing showed up in the profile.
I still cant figure why this isnt a straight forward thing to do on the profile page as it is easy enough to use Tinymce to add media in a post?
