@paulhastings0 – Also – thank you!
Code changed to none since that is probably more appropriate than using 0px.
Personal Note: One of these days this site is going to look like something else besides a default theme with color changes. Guess that means the header.php file needs to be changed more … hehe
@modemlooper – thank you!
Found this in the default.css using firebug.
`div#container {
border-right:1px solid #E0E0E0;
border-bottom:1px solid #E0E0E0;
}`
Changed to 0px – and all is well 
Oh – and moved that wave.png into the footer.php and footer-wiki.php – it looks nicer.
Hi There
Just installed Buddypress with the P2 theme. Everything seems to be working except some of the people who register are not showing up in Buddypress. They show up in the User listing in the WP admin panel, but they can’t post on BP and they don’t show up in the member list.
One person I deleted from the WP users list and manually added from within WP and then she showed up in BP.
The strange thing is that it’s totally random. There are 23 Users in WP (all confirmed) and only 19 members in BP.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
@ipstenu
Thanks for pointing that out… clears things up!
This looks like a classifications listing website? Why not look at classipress? I don’t think buddypress activities would work in this case, even a simple wordpress loop might work better here… frontend editor isn’t available without some workaround and plugins but I think its coming in the next release of wordpress… classipress theme has a frontend editor
I’ve done some research, but can’t find anything Here’s what I’d like to know:
I have an existing WordPress site. I’d like to install Buddypress into a subfolder, i.e. http://www.example.com/community.
1) Do I need a multiuser version of WordPress?
2) I’m doing a fresh WP instal in the sub folder. Can I use the main WP install DB or should it be different? (presuming a different table prefix of course)
Anything else? I did it once with the same DB, diff prefix, but got 404 errors all over…
Thanks
Mike
hm… Thanks ray for the code.. I have used the one that is placed on the functions.php.
But i have a little problem.. When i resized the image.. it is pixelated.. when i inspect the element.. It is fetching the bpthumb..
I also want to change the Avatar in the profile.php using the same avatar as the buddypress too…
Can anyone help me fix this please? thanks a lot!
Is this possible? I have approx 30-50 docs that I want to have associated with a group in my buddypress install. Is there anyway to go around uploading these one at a time?
thanks for the info about the admin bar. So there is no workflow built into BuddyPress that enables someone to post on the blog? If thats the case.. how is an account supposed to be able to know where to make a post.. or get to the back end of WordPress at all? Is this something thats missing from my install.. or a feature that doesn’t exist in BuddyPress?
Also.. Anyone have any tips on setting up my domain/subdomain/wp-install directory correctly so its all named correctly. I have a external domain set to the Bluehost name servers… a subdomain – sdcityrobotics.saltbored.com – set up to alias to the publichtml directory my install is in.. so how do i get everything to look like http://www.sdcrobotics.com/activity .. instead of http://www.saltbored.com/sdcityrobotics/activity?
Even if you take the “Network” setting out of the plugin’s main file, BuddyPress will not work only a bunch of separate sites on the same network. It’s not built to support that.
bp adminbar requires a little work in that respect, I’ve created my own set of links for users with elevated roles from ‘Subscriber’ have a look at :
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/
It will give you some guidance to modifying the adminbar.
Ok I figured it out. The author role does have the ability to make blog posts… Its just that through their buddypress interfaced account.. they’re never given a link to —-> http://www.saltbored.com/sdcityrobotics/wp-admin/post-new.php… to create one. Where in the buddypress front end can they choose to “create a new post”. or to get to the back end WordPress interface to see the dashboard?
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wp-fb-autoconnect/
i tested it and on my site it did not integrate easily.
Others report it worked fine.
@hnla – Thanks for the link to the documentation, but that doesn’t answer the question. Installing BP on a secondary blog still requires a Network Activation of the BP plugin.
Is it possible to manually control which blogs on a WPMU network have BP and which do not? Is there any other option besides “Network Activate” ?
Thanks for the feedback. Are there any other people interested in being sponsors for this plugin? @finni3 it would be similar to the BP wiki plugin in functionality, however it would actually work. And it would be rock solid so that no users’ data is lost (which is the great downfall of the wiki plugin). Also, you could comment on pages as well as edit them. @Bpisimone it would be possible to have a global directory, but probably not in the first round – but it would not be hard to do.
Reinstalled the forum integration through the “Forums Setup” section of the BuddyPress options. everything seems to work fine now!
@cells
If you are on single wp, upgrade to wordpress Multisite.
Then you can limit it from Super Admin->Options->Limited Email Registrations
@r-a-y I agree with many, this would be a valuable plugin on many sites I think! +1 for the plugin!
@hnla I don’t have much experience with BP on the tech side (i.e. hacking core files…at least I’m able to customize BP template to use with wp theme). For now core features of BP and a bunch of stable plugins are enough to start with. So far I’m only missing a photos plugin but I’ll wait the new release of album+
The fact is that if I’d use jomsocial+joomla again, I’d have to spend more money on components and jomsocial’s 3rd party plugins. Most of WP 3rd party plugins are free ones, compared to joomla’s ones.
Paul,
Thank you so much for your insight! Here’s what I’ve got now:
1. I’m pretty sure we’re using the single site version of WordPress(maybe this is known as the MU version?). It was installed through our server using SimpleScripts. I was aware of the plugin option, but didn’t want to get into that yet until I had the account creation issues taken care of. Thanks for the info.
2. Disabled the BuddyPress plugin, as well as the Group Documents plugin (and reverted to the default non-BuddyPress theme). Created an account, and got the confirmation email right away. The WP account registration was just “username”, and “email”… and WP emails the password. The BuddyPress registration required much more info. So without BP turned on.. Accounts worked.. with it turned on.. The account gets created, but no activation email gets sent out.. thoughts?
3. I’m referring to the WordPress setting: Site Address (url): “Enter the address here if you want your site homepage to be different from the directory you installed WordPress.” I’m trying to point the domain to sdcityrobotics.saltbored.com , and it will display as http://www.sdcrobotics.org (our domain).
4. Got it. I was just curious as to if there were some settings I was just totally missing.
BlueHost Issues !?!?
1. Ok don’t use SimpleScripts or WordPress.. Just install WP manually on my server, and then install the BuddyPress plugin manually? And that will get it to work?
2. I’ll definitely search around for BH. Thanks for the tip!
now switching to buddypress for a huge community site
Having stated experience with Jom, I assume that you have as much or more experience with BP as ‘Huge Community Site’ worries me slightly, not trying to put you off BP in the slightest, but generally one would tackle large projects only when 100% confident developing on a particular platform, and BP does require a fair bit of work to get what one wants.
@johnwinch42
I’m not really sure what you are asking:
Do you want to allow all blogs to have their own choice of theme, but ensure that they use the same font for the admin bar?
That’s not really possible, because you don’t have any control over the CSS files in the sub site themes – if they define their own CSS settings for the admin bar / standard fonts / etc., they are the ones that will be applied in their site.
If you want that degree of control, you probably need to create a small set of bespoke themes that they can choose from, ensuring you have set the admin bar settings as you want them in each of those themes.
@sulley – on the flip side – with one company developing it, you have a single point of weakness. if they go under, the whole project disappears – not just one plugin.
However, I tend to agree with you: BuddyPress would definitely be a more attractive development platform if a solid company took more responsibility for specifying standard components, resourcing their development, ensuring stated deadlines were met, and supporting them.
@TedMann – No, manually going to your signup page will not trip the spam alarm. Putting in the URL with all the submit stuff (like attempting to pass registration info via the URL instead of entering it like a human) will trip the alarm. What it’s checking for is the POST command, and was THAT passed through by your site. Otherwise no one would ever be able to sign up
