… even if “Hide admin bar for logged out users” is set “Yes”.
To fix this, add 2 lines
if ( (int)get_site_option( 'hide-loggedout-adminbar' ) && !is_user_logged_in() )
return false;
at bp_core_add_admin_bar_css function (in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-cssjs.php) before line 16
It will be wonderful if this could be fixed in the next release.
Thanks in advance
can you provide your server php info ? especially php memory_limit
who is your host ?
what’s your WP and BP version ?
mySql version ?
php version ?
Hi,
i have a blog on a Server with 8gb of RAM. Without Buddypress there will be about 4500MB free. But when I activate it, you can see, how the memory usage explodes. And after a few Minutes the system is overloaded and kills the mysql process.
Does anyone know about this problem and how to fix it?
@hnla – I think I’d class it as a bug, as it breaks child themes on existing sites
… or perhaps just a deprecated / implementation changed without clear warning mistake
Glenn… there is nothing new in charging for premium themes, it’s not a BuddyPress phenomenon… there are hundreds of people selling premium themes for WordPress (e.g. WooThemes, ThemeForest, …), and even more sites that are completely bespoke developments costing many thousands of pounds.
If you don’t like what people are providing you for free, you don’t have to use their work. If you don’t like the price of their paid for work, don’t buy them. You can take the bp-default theme for free and extend it as you want.
As I explained in one of your other threads about availability of themes, BuddyPress is extremely difficult to create distinctive generic themes for – it’s no wonder that some people charge a few pounds for their themes.
I’m new to BP and am trying to set up redirects for non-logged in users. I don’t want them to go to the Register page or the WP login page, as the community is private. I have asked on the plugin forum for Private Buddypress but no reply and I think there may be an easy way to do this but not sure exactly what to put in the PHP code. All I need to know is how to make the below point to a page in my theme folder rather than the WP login:
`wp_redirect(get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/wp-login.php?redirect_to=’ . $redirect_to);`
I am guessing I change siteurl to something else but what?
That means I can not view members, groups and profiles on other wordpress sites of my wordpress installation? Other sites are sites which are not buddypress primary sites but which do have buddypress activated because buddypress is a network plugin.
I spent all day yesterday installing this theme and making it look nice on the home page, I then browsed around to find that inside the theme there is a lack of functionality such as no activity streams in group, poor css making pages look messy, no new topic buttons in the forums. Then you start to look for assistance and its hard to get, then you find the theme author offers a premium version of the theme and a membership group with ongoing subscriptions. If I had known this before I started I wouldnt have bothered.
Is it just me or are others finding it a little annoying that buddypress seems to be not in the keeping of the wordpress ethos of free software for all. Everyone seems to want to make money from it, which is fair enough at the right price, but monthly subscriptions have you by the balls.
Is there anyone out there who makes a nice free theme or a premium theme with upgrades at one off fee or an acceptable yearly fee ?
Okay. I’ll try it. Thanks, @rogercoathup
Yes, there is a BuddyPress primary site … where you’d run a BuddyPress specific theme, that lets you view members directories, group directories, member profiles, etc.
Error after 1.2.6 upgrade
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move ‘/tmp/phpgytUT4’ to ‘/home/collabbo/science3point0.com/wp-content/uploads/group-documents/7/1287752340-blogcont.png’ in /home/collabbo/science3point0.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/include/classes.php on line 234
@modemlooper. Your theme is realy OK. It was a mistake on my side. Every thing is well now.
Thanks Roger. That documentation confuses me a little though. If I activate buddypress it is activated on alle sites of the wordpress installation, so what does “if you didn’t activate BuddyPress site-wide” mean? I want a buddpress community over several worpress sites, are these sites not all equal in the community because there is a buddypress root blog?
@Chouf1 Thanks for the suggestion but right permissions. I’ll try and get in touch with the polish maintainer @Paul_Gibbs if I can find him/her. Thanks
Look in the documentation on this site about installing BuddyPress in a secondary blog.
That tells you how to do this
I know buddypress is a network plugin so it’s also activated in the default site. But what I mean is that I have to use the default site first before I can use other sites with buddpress. That looks like a bug.
Running WP 3.0.1 with a child theme of the BP default, just upgraded to 1.2.6 and I’ve confirmed that the GMT time lag still exists for private messaging.
I believe Ticket 2203 was supposed to fix this and was committed to the 1.2.6 release. Help?
Hi,
I hope someone can help me with my current problem. I had BuddyPress installed, along with several other BP plugins, on the following site:
http://melbournemodernquiltguild.com
Our members weren’t happy with how BP worked, so we installed a separate forum, and decided to revert our site back to WP without BP. However, some members want now to access their personal messages, and so I’m trying to accommodate by reinstalling BP, and trying to import the backup file I’d made right before uninstalling BP.
I have some questions about whether this will work:
1. Will this work to reinstate my site to exactly the same as it was before the backup?
2. Should I reinstall the additional plugins, or will the backup have all those?
3. All the users are still listed in the site’s current user list, so will the personal messages between users be restored?
4. Is there anything else I need to do before importing the file?
Thanks,
Helene
Yes I am really a novice … 
Thank to @karmatosed and @DJPaul for you suggestion …
I use the theme named Blogs-Mu … and my subscription to the theme source(WPMU DEV) has expired …
, and I’m a bit short of cash
So , I’m out of luck now ..
But the link you provided is very help full …
Thanks again, both of you
Let me ask a question : I have checked the trac link provided by @DJPaul and found most similarity with old codes for bp default theme and Blogs-mu theme . Will making changes, according to the trac, suffice the need ? or is there anything extra that should be done ?
Please help ? This is a question of life
If everyone’s going to be friends with everyone else, I’d suggest just turning the Friends component off since it won’t be doing anything interesting. Dashboard > BuddyPress > Component Setup
As for groups, you have a few options. If you make all groups public, then everyone will have access to everything. And if you hide all of the “my groups” and “join this group” buttons in the theme, people will never know (or care!) whether they’re a part of groups. They’ll just be auto-joined if they choose to post on the forums. A different method is to modify something like this: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/auto-join-groups/
I run a niche site. All my members are there because they share a common interest. I like the social network aspect of buddypress but could there be a way to just do away with the “friends” feature. The thing is my community is for animators. So upon joining up they should already be friends with everyone in the site and not pick and choose. If a group/forum is created, everyone on the site should have access to it and not have to join the group first.
I hope this makes sense. Basically, I run a community of animators (http://flashfilmmaker.com) I just want to maintain it as a community with the added social interactions buddypress can add, but remaion a niche community not a full blow social network like facebook.
@hnla CDATA, yes you’re correct.
I opened a few tickets in the past mentionning this same problem with previous version.
We have also a long tread on the bp-fr.net forum here (opened 6 mouth ago), with mac and pc output difference. But finally i bring it to work under bp 1.2.3 – anf FF 3.6
IE says code error due to CDATA
I’ve searched everywhere for this and I can’t find this. I want to include a function in my theme so that every post has a small excerpt of the buddypress profile field Bio. I’ve found examples of people wanting to expand the members loop and they were using things such as this
echo bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Bio' );
I can not get it to work in my post loop file. Is this possible? If so I would also like a way to truncate it at a set amount of words in case the bio is really long. Any way to do this.
Thanks
@djpaul –
Can we happily run the 1.2.5.2 default theme (and children thereof) on the 1.2.6 core? Thereby allowing all our existing child themes to continue to behave the same without any mods at all?
And, as a corollary to this… is there an install option for 1.2.6 that won’t overwrite the 1.2.5.2 theme (other than copying it somewhere pre-install, and then re-instating)?
