BuddyPress.org

@solomonsun – have you gone to:
admin dashboard
settings -> buddypress –
then the tab near top: “pages”

scroll down to registration and see which page is selected there? tried changing it and saving it, then change again and save again perhaps?

Steve
ps- this is not the netowrk superadmin dashboard, but the regular main admin dashboard if you are in multisite setup I think.

@solomonsun
– ” http://www.schoolhome.com.mg/” – comes up as server not found from where I am at.. so it does not seem that this url is valid / working.. if you go to that url it works somewhere? Is something on the web server locking it down where no one can access it but you.. or some other blocking system to prevent me or others from seeing your url?

You might wan agive up on buddypress – for several reasons.. cuz it doesn’t get any easier – things are going to get harder as some point.

you never posted what your htaccess file says in it.

you never ” don’t say what happened “before”. Before what ?” – explained what you changed when it stopped working.

sorry to hear it’s not working for you

Hi,

not sure you need to use Softaculous to install bbpress. You can use the plugin installer shiped with WordPress or upload it manually via FTP.

Seems you have to read the install documentation of bbPress first. And if you need help to use bbPress plugin, you have to ask on the right support forum. Here you’re on BuddyPress !

Hi there !

Avoid to add – URGENT help needed! to topic titles, it is the best way to not receive any help.

You’re already under help when your topic is posted, so there is no need to ask twice. And this doesn’t bring you faster or more attention.

The word Urgent is also banned, as urgency is already on the way. Not only for you but for ALL forum users.

So as usual,

The urgent is done, the indispensable is under way. For miracles, allow time.

Please wait and read the codex. BuddyPress. WordPress.

1)BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.
2) new users are always registered in the main site
3) if you allow users to create their own blog, they will appear in the user list of that blog.
4) multisite network means also that you use a wildcard on your host. Is it the case ?

Please search the forum before asking questions! For ex. “allow html in description”

Allow HTML Attributes in Profile Description Field

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/allow-html-in-xprofile-field-description-boxes/

Now, it’s me who doesn’t understand ! What do you want to do finally ? What is not working for you ?

Or try to get some help on the italian WP forum.

Support Forums

or get in touch with one of BP’s italian translator for help or at least some explanation

Template Overload from a Plugin

Here a working example you can study to understand (and use to see how it works)

function bpfr_post_profile_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

	$parent_slug = 'audio';
	$child_slug = 'posts_sub';	
	$post_count = count_user_posts(  bp_displayed_user_id(), array('post', 'post' ) );

		//Add nav item with posts count
		bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
			'name' => __( 'Audios' ) .'<span>'.$post_count.'</span>',
			'slug' => $parent_slug,
			'screen_function' => 'bpfr_profile_post_screen',
			'position' => 40,
			'default_subnav_slug' => $child_slug 
		) );
		
		//Add subnav item 	 
		bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
			'name' => __( 'My latest audios' ),
			'slug' => $child_slug, 
			'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/', 
			'parent_slug' => $parent_slug, 
			'screen_function' => 'bpfr_profile_post_screen'
		) );

	}

	function bpfr_profile_post_screen() {	
		add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bpfr_profile_post_screen_content' );
		bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
	}

	function bpfr_profile_post_screen_content() {
		do_action( 'my_profile_post' );
	}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_post_profile_setup_nav' );

And here a content test:

function luisa_conteni() {
   echo 'Forza BuddyPress';
}
add_action( 'my_profile_post', 'luisa_conteni' );

Add all snippets to bp-custom.php.

The example use the default plugin template (/members/single/plugin.php) as generally there is no need to create a new template while on a profile (except if you need something very specific like a table or a an iframe).

Please use the support forum for BP Simple Events.

You can easily configure BuddyPress to use root profiles which will mean URLs look like example.com/username. Note though, there’d be no @ character in the URL.

See the Advanced Configurations section here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Hi @luisa227,

considering your questions, i would suggest you read attentively both WP and BP codex.

– child theme
– bp-custom

bp-custom.php goes to wp-content/plugins/ directory, not into the (child)theme folder.

such path members/single/swap is related to BP legacy by default.

But as swap is a custom folder, that custom path means in fact wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/swap.php, where /child-theme/buddypress/contains copies of all your customized legacy files and your own additionnal files you want to use.

Hopefully reading the codex will help you to understand a little better how all this works together.

It’s a known bbPress issue.

Get more details here

Non-members can see child forums in groups

Closing this topic as duplicate of the above.

@christiankramer,

in case you haven’t investigate about that issue, here’s the ticket on BP trac

and the one on bbPress trac where you can/should post your own remarks as it is not a BuddyPress issue!

As it has no answer yet, i recommend you to bump that ticket.

@robdnc,

could it be that you use php 7.+, and/or bbPress, on your local install ?
That issue was already reported past month. Please read that topic for details.

Hi,

to deactivate a plugin you can use WP’s plugin manager page or to go directly to your files via FTP where you can remove the plugin from the directory wp-content/plugins/your-plugin/

Those warnings are not obligatory in direct relation with BuddyPress. Why ? Because you’re the only one until today who mention such an issue. I activate and deactivate my BP many times a week and have never get such a warning.

Try first to deactivate your theme in favor of a twenty theme and see if you continue to receive the messages. If still there, deactivate all your plugins but BP one by one until you find a culprit.

maybe the info / replies on this page would be helpful-

Hi I have a question about the title with buddypress page

(?)

disclaimer, I am not a bp dev, just a long time user, and my knowledge is far from complete.

1 -each Profile / Member offered a separate gallery or media library?
This was a problem from the very beginning, and perhaps the biggest problem for bp aside from lousy filter options for the activity stream. Initially it was handled by the ‘bp-album’ plugin – which was later abandoned amidst some drama – rtmedia is kind of the standard for handling this now – but it’s bloated, important functions have gotten expensive, and it’s not well supported in core or themes – it’s terrible at keeping things separated like comments on media and galleries –
There is a new bp media like experimental thing that looks promising, and some attempts at making placeholders for bp media have been made in the past year, new hooks for bp attachment, etc. Some code has appeared on github showing a great start at possible core bp media handling – but not enough devs on that.

if you must have media with bp I suggest getting the premium “press permit core” and ask for support in limiting what other users can see in the media library. God forbid you have a problem with users trolling other users – and you have media – as you can purchase the buddyblock plugin which will prevent most abuse user to user, but it does not hook into the separate commenting system that rt-media creates. I strongly encourage you to try the other media plugin and hope that works for what you need before getting stuck with rtmedia and no way to export it’s data to something else.

2 a cap on how many Mb’s a user is allowed to upload for the total amount of media space
Wordpress has a setting for this when using multi-site setup – but I think it affects only what gets posted to the user blogs aka sites. I think rtmedia has an optional purchase-able plugin for this if you use their system to allow for the media uploads – not sure if the other competing system has such functionality.

This is a problem, and a solution should include a way for admins to look at users who have uploaded media, not just by user and space taken up, but also by date. There should be more control for deleting content with various parameters as well. I pity you if you find one day a user has uploaded 100s of photos that violate… terms.. and you have to delete each one at a time. If you find a way to handle this better with rtmedia I’d love for you to share it.

Currently I have tons of photos and videos that users have uploaded and no good way to look at or remove, aside from going profile to profile and manually checking what shows up there. A better way may exist, I have not found it yet.

3 – Why do all members have to be Authors in order to be able to Post because this was the only method that worked for me.
When you say post, that sounds like posting a post to a blog – either their own multi-site blog, or perhaps to a group blog. This is how worpdress is and is great for controlling things with blogs. If you mean a user needs to be an author in order to add to thier “activity stream” aka wall or profile or whatever, I do not think they need to be a blog author in order to do so… “What’s new” activity posts work fine without being a blog author.

4 – BuddyPress and BB Press how should I set up my .htaccess file – this should be documented somewhere around here. Wish I could tell you, I don’t have any bb press running with any buddypress installs any longer.

If you don’t want robots to crawl your site, search for forums for making buddypress private – you’ll want to lock down your site with a password required to view anything – if you really want to block bots.. if it’s just the nicer bots you are referring to, like googlebot, yahoo and bigbots – then you can setup a robots.txt with something like

robots *
disallow /
allow index.php

but I don’t think having the main engines index your index.php is really helpful with most WP themes.. you’d probably be better with “allow /about-us/” for example.. as most wp sites I’ve worked with dont have a good ol’ index.html

your experiences may vary..

With BP you eaither have lots of time to code, or you take everything as is for the most part. Auttomatic has not funded bp well since the first dev Andy left – it’s basically abandoned like unwanted bastard child that gets (almost) no support – and has been for years. Instead depending mainly on volunteer contributors that obviously have to do other things like earn a living and pay bills.

Some great people do amazing things making bp better – I appreciate those that are making the documentation better and fighting the good fight of dealing with all the wp core changes and how they affect bp when it updates – and other work to make it better. However what is seemingly most important to many webmasters and end users may not be on the roadmap for future releases – and finding developers to mod up BP is not as easy as one may hope either.

custom fixes today may well be broken with future updates, and no one has thought about the laws in Europe for privacy and users being able to export data you have them.. all kinds of things..

consider bp a huge mix of free code that is very experimental, and in my humble opinion should be removed from the wp plugin repo if automattic is not going to fund it properly – it certainly should not be on the first page view of plugins – anyone installing it likely has no idea what can of worms they are getting into.

If you are thinking of the future and how you may need to moderate user’s uploads and such, I strongly encourage you to test out the mediapress alternative – but realize in order to get core functionality with bp right now you will have to add on a walled garden from one place or another.. without any import / export options – before you invest too much of your time and your user’s pictures and videos into silos you may never escape, you right as well look into and test out peepso (https://www.peepso.com )- as they seem to have more skin in the game and have made at least some import / export things if I remember correctly.

again, I am not a bp dev. also I have not used mediapress yet – although I would with a fresh install – rtmedia has not met my expectations, although not a total fail, it is only 60% of what it should be. I have not used peepso yet either. Just a guy that’s been running a few bp installs for a few years, and my knowledge is fuzzy at best. surely @ma.tt, others thoughts, and your mileage may vary.
