BuddyPress.org

Well, this is pretty specific to your issue: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1096

I’m closing this thread as it has nothing to do with BuddyPress support. If you’re interested in offering your services to Pcmike, you have his email address in the OP.

@Pcmike-

Please realize that you’re asking to convert your single-user WP blog into a WPMU + BuddyPress site. Make sure that the person you use understands this important point.

Works here too. I had troubling setting it up originally, but that’s because I hadn’t read the readme.txt carefully to do what @Jfcarter above has just said.

@Sinan,

I’m using it with WPMU 2.7.1/BuddyPress 1.0. Here’s where I have the plugin files located:

wp-captcha.php and wp-captcha.tff – in wp-content

wpmu-signup-captcha.php – in wp-content/mu-plugins

Works beautifully for me.

Lo.

> Why is it when I add a page to my WordPress site, it doesn’t show up in my BuddyPress navigation?

Because that’s just the way the default home theme is written. The items listed on that menu aren’t ‘Pages’ in the WordPress sense, anyway, so it makes little sense for the default, out-the-box BuddyPress theme to do that.

The bit of code you’d need to change (or to add in your custom/duplicate theme) is in header.php. Where you see:

<ul id="nav">

Add this underneath:

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>

Documentation for that function is at https://codex.wordpress.org/wp_list_pages

go to wpmu forum, there’s a thread about this.

(This is not buddypress question)

Anyone got running this plugin on sign-up page with 2.7.1?

in comments it works, but i can’t see it on register page and i have no idea how to make it work there.

Hi,

I have had the same problem for the last few days, using wpmu2.7.1, bp1.0, bb1a6, bbpress integration plugin and buddypress-enable.

The steps that seem to have solved the problem:

1. Delete all cookies.

2. Go to bbpress, register a new user. Log into bbpress as keymaster and give define that new users as admin.

3. Create a new forum in bbpress (any new forum).

4. Log into wpmu, go to forums setup and use the new user you just created.

5. Delete all cookies.

5. Log in, try starting a new group in wpmu.

I’m trying to pinpoint which of these steps did the trick to reuse it beyond my test installation.

Let me know whether it works for you as well, and if you figure out what the reason is.

Good luck

Remember also, that the navigation in header.php has NOTHING to do with WordPress pages. They are hard coded to the BuddyPress predetermined hi-jacked URLs.

The bp home theme is entirely optional. You can use your preferred wp theme for all the usual things and integrate whatever selected features what you want into the theme. Or none at all. The member theme is still available through the top admin bar.

See this in the codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/

bp has to be installed in a folder called /wp-content/plugins/buddypress. Try uploading the plugin again. Activate sitewide.

This makes sense, because like you said above, the Member Themes aren’t real WordPress themes; BuddyPress just muscles itself in and takes over the place. And as long as the member theme functions.php registers a sidebar with the same name, WP doesn’t know the difference and loads it up.

It’s posts like this, Burt, that lead me to believe that there’s a whole lot of progress that will be made in modifying the Member Theme area.

Good post, A+ for the day.

Since this is a BuddyPress forum, I’ll assume you’re talking about the Buddypress widget “Recent Blog Posts” and not the WordPress widget “Recent Posts”

You need to look in bp-blogs-widgets.php for the code. But, do not change the code within that file. It is a core BuddyPress file and any changes you make will be lost the next time you upgrade. Instead, make a copy of that file and create your own custom widget.

Derosion-

Although the WordPress widget API clearly advises developers not to use the widget functions starting with wp_, there is an issue with localization of Widgets in BuddyPress if the register_sidebar_widget() is used.

If you’re not planning on distributing your custom components or widgets, then you can code them with the register_sidebar_widget() function call instead of wp_register_sidebar_widget(). However, if you plan to make your custom component or widget available to the community, you should use wp_register_sidebar_widget() at this time.
