How do I get the group id from a given slug? I looked at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/the-bp-global/ but it doesn’t print the group-id. I need the group-id for making effective joins between the groups and the images table that I plan to build.
Any pointers?
@Michael-
The title of your thread says, “Recent Posts Widget Bug?”
So, let’s again clarify. With exactly which widget are you seeing this behavior? The “Recent Blog Posts” widget, or the “Recent Post” widget?
The former is a BuddyPress widget, the latter is a WPMU widget.
I’m closing this thread. A solution to Skollie’s issue is provided in this thread.
Skollie-
I just looked into this and found that Mike’s widget is using a deprecated function call
bp_group_permalink
This changed somewhere down the road to BP v1.0. So, if you are comfortable with opening up a PHP file and making two easy changes, you can search for that function in his widget and replace the above call with
bp_get_group_permalink
If you are not comfortable with doing this, then message Mike and give him the url for this forum thread, kindly begging him to fix his widget as quickly as possible or the world will end.
Actually, if you make the changes to the code yourself, it would also be nice of you to let Mike know that his widget needs a little TLC.
Okay, a couple of thoughts:
1. Off the top of my head I’d say the quickest way to offer some solution is by creating a new extended field and letting your members paste their blog URLs in that field. Call the field My Other Blogs.
This would not bring in any of your members’ blog posts though. It would simply provide a standard place to put an external link to their blog(s). You could tell them how to make the urls look a little prettier by using an href tag.
<a href="http://myotherblogurl/">Hey, look at my cool blog!</a>
2. You could use the FeedwordPress plugin to allow your members a way to aggregate their external blog posts. I’ve never used this and I have no idea how it will play with BuddyPress.
3. You could suggest, possibly offering as a premium service, that they move their other WordPress-based blogs to your site. You would then use Donncha’s Domain Mapping Plugin to faciliate that move while allowing your members to keep their original domains. I’ve never done this, so there may be a lot more to it than meets the eye.
In essence, you would have your existing internal Mu blogs co-existing with all the newly imported and mapped blogs. I’m not sure what conflicts this could cause with WPMU or BuddyPress.
Amhyaut-
Which version of BuddyPress are you running? Whereas I do see the potential error you’re referring to in the two testbp.org links above, when I went to my test install, I could not replicate this behavior.
At first the “uncategorized” category appeared in the member theme when navigating to “Blogs > Recent Posts”. But when I went into the blog’s dashboard and edited the post by reselecting a new category, making sure that “uncategorized” was deselected, and then hitting the “Update Post” button, the problem disappeared upon refreshing the member theme page in my browser.
Perhaps this has something to do with cached data in testbp.org. So, I would not submit a new ticket in trac.

Solution:
Create a file in WP-ADMIN called php.ini
Paste in:
memory=40MB
upload_max_filesize=10M;
post_max_size=20M;
Save and that should fix the Fatal error: Out of memory issue when activating the BuddyPress plugin.

Hi,
I’m trying to install BuddyPress and I’m getting a Fatal error: Out of memory.
How much memory does BuddyPress require?
My stats:
Which version of WordPress Mu are you running? 2.7.1
From where (provide link) did you download WPMU? BuddyPress.org
Which version of BuddyPress are you running? 1.0
Did you open any of the BuddyPress files? No
Did you alter any of the BuddyPress files? No
This is probably a very dumb question, but I’m not finding a whole lot of documentation.
I installed the latest RC release of the BBPress forums according to the instructions listed here (http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt) and everything works fine. When I create a group it creates a forum to go with it.
What I don’t get is why the little “forums” button isn’t showing up on my BuddyPress installation. I can’t find any settings that activate/deactivate the buttons at the top. For an example of what I’m talking about, if you go to any page on this website, buddypress.org, you see the “home” “about” “blog”… etc buttons up at the top of the page, including the “forums” button. That’s what I’m missing.
Where can I go in BuddyPress to create new buttons up there? Should the forums button pop up automatically when integration is turned on?
Here are the answers to the 8 basic info questions about my WPMU/BuddyPress installation
1. WPMU v 2.7.1
2. Installed in root of domain (chickspirit.com)
3. This is a fresh Installation
4. —
5. Running latest release of BuddyPress
6. I have no extra plugins installed
7. Running standard themes
8. —
Ya, custom loop for forums:
It doesn’ t look like Andy has documented this yet but there is a group forum loop just like other parts of bp have a loop. Look at bp_has_topics() in bp-forums-templatetags.php. It looks like I’d use that if I were you.
See: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/ for examples using other bp_has_[something]() loops.
That might be the best way to go with this.
Where can you find the names of the widgets you want listed for users by default so you can add them to the user layout?
Also is there a way of forcing all new users to have the same buddypress theme? EG: Shout? It seems really weird tome that the default mode of operation is that each new users account gets set to the wordpress default rather than the site default.
Could I just overwrite the wordpress default blog theme directory with the contents of the shout buddypress theme?
Thanks in advance,
bump….
have now repaired and optimized the database. error persists
i’ve tried working with it using them as functions.. no luck.

My info:

Did you open any of the BuddyPress files? No

Reading in several posts in the forums that backups should be made daily, I was wondering:
1) apart from the db and wp-content, what other files need to be backed up (i.e. are different from a fresh install) All my buddypress install files are in wp-content. Does buddypress create/modify any files outside this directory?
2) What is the best way to automate the backup. I have been trying to do this manually on a daily basis but I do not have a very fast internet connection and it takes me forever to goto cpanel, download the db backup, log in via ftp and download the wp-content folder.
Thanks.

My memory limit has now been upgraded to 64MB.
When activating the BuddyPress plugin, I get this error message within the plugins page:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 16252928) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php on line 334
Any ideas? I uploaded the plugin manually, does it function better installed automatically thru the plugin search area?
I have bbpress/buddypress integrated and group forums working. I do not have a link to the full bbpress forums from the buddypress pages as I want users to use the forums through the groups.
However, I have noticed that new/updated topics in the group forums do not show up in the activity feed. This is probably best however, my users are asking if there could be some way a new forum topic can be displayed on the buddypress home page so that it can get more exposure.
A way to do this might be to have a widget that shows the last 5 created forum topics. Does anyone know if something like this exists already or how hard it would be to create one?

Hi,
I have this problem:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 16252928) (tried to allocate 4864 bytes)
My allotted memory limit is 32M. My host has advised me to create a php.ini in my root directory and add the parameter in the file and the value – does anyone know how to do that?
i’ve found this only with BuddyPress, WPMU was working well – does BuddyPress require more memory?
Many thanks in advance

but if i use the code it print the avatar for the 2 autor but i want the avatar for the post autor in her post.
help me please! thanks!
Once we’ve got a “stable” bbPress 1.0, I’ve got a stable step by step integration process. 
RC2 is looking pretty good so far so shan’t be long now!
Hey M, I think you are going to be the YEDI-Master of BP Plugins
The widgets you are talking about are not designed to be called from a template. They just don’t work very well for that situation. Perhaps you’d like to investigate the bp custom loops that use template tags. These are designed to be used in templates : https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/
