BuddyPress.org

@tutorbe @mongmuon @kinstahosting – Thanks for testing on HHVM. I’ve confirmed the bug and have a patch ready:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7197/7197.01.patch

Please test and let me know if it works for you.

Sorry if this is not clear to you: i can’t explain better.

Posts, comments, or activities of the users in sites other than where you activated BuddyPress won’t be recorded in the Activity Streams when you install BuddyPress in only one site of the network.

BP should be activated on the main site where WP is installed, if you want the whole blogs activities.

your-site/ here is WP declared as network
sub-blog1/your-site/
su-blog2/your-site/ you activated BP on this secondary blog. OK fine, but it’s a sub-blog and BP will only show the activity of that sub-blog.
sub-blog1/your-site/
etc…

dashboard > BuddyPress > settings > options > Main Settings and check
Toolbar [] Show the Toolbar for logged out users

If it still doesn’t work, check your theme settings.
You could also test with Twenty Sixteen and see if there is a difference.

After chat disruption and sudden 404 errors on all pages, let’s continue here.

All your groups are listed here: http://thebettinguniversity.org/groups/

Most are private and the 2 i found which are public have only one member: the group admin.

I you’re the site admin, you can access to these groups.
If you’re only a group admin, you can only access the group you’re a member/admin of.
You must be logged-in to get access, whatever your status.

For more information about groups, read the codex please.

Groups

Seems also that you have no member page.
Go to BP settings and check that there is a page for members, a page for group, a page for register and one for activation.

Check here:

Configure BuddyPress

same problem with the plugin wp mai smtp Buddypress not sending activation emails

Put this in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php

code on gist

Thanks for the reply @danbp

I have not built the site and I also have very little technical and coding knowledge (sorry!) I will update WordPress later but wasn’t sure how to back everything up?

There is a lot of plugins installed:Admin Menu Editor, Advanced Custom Fields,Advanced Custom Fields PRO, bbPress,BuddyPress, DropBox Folder Share, Easy FancyBox, Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types, Gravity Forms CSS Ready Class Selector, Gravity Forms Remove Entries, jonradio Multiple Themes, Login Security, Members, No Page Comment, OPcache Dashboard,Page Specific Menu Items, PHP Code For Posts, Post Types Order, Social Media Feather, Styles with Shortcodes for WordPress,
TAO Schedule Update, WordPress Importer, WP Google Maps, WP Google Maps – Pro Add-on, wp_mail return-path

Are any of these know to conflict with BuddyPress?

Not sure on the custom functions as far as I know… I’m not confident enough to debug and the site it is also live so not sure what to do?

Think I will update WordPress then disable all plugins except BuddyPress and try on a twenty theme but if that doesn’t work, which seems like the case in other past posts, I’m not sure need help!

Thanks again

@iwasaki1112,

if you want to add some more group settings fields/steps, read here:

Group Extension API

If not, give more details about what you want to do.

@intothemythica,

guess you have to follow instructions belonging to the actual WP/BP version… Haven’t you seen this notice ?
***The following pertains to administrators using WordPress 3.0 in network mode)***

BP should be on the same site where WP is installed.

Follow Codex from here and note that:

One site of the Network

C. BuddyPress Activated in Main Site only
D. BuddyPress Activated in Secondary Site only
Posts, comments, or activities of the users in sites other than where you activated BuddyPress won’t be recorded in the Activity Streams when you install BuddyPress in only one site of the network.

Installation in WordPress Multisite

I can confirm that HHVM/3.14.3 + WP 4.5.3 + BP 2.6.1.1 don’t work together.
The profile page (and other related ones) come up as soft 404 errors:
http://buddypresstest1.kinsta.com/members/buddypresstest1/

The error and debug logs are completely empty too, unfortunately. Let me know how can we help tracking this down!

Thank you,
Mark

Add this snippet to bp-custom.php and comment/remove what you don’t need

function bpex_admin_bar_remove() {
global $wp_admin_bar;

	// Remove the whole WP logo menu
//	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'wp-logo' ); 

	// remove only About BuddyPress 
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'bp-about' ); 

	// remove only About bbPress
//	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'bbp-about' );

}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpex_admin_bar_remove' );

I am having this issue with BuddyPress 2.6.1.1 & bbPress 2.5.10 plugins installed

I have used the BuddyPress repair tool but it didn’t work?

Running WordPress 4.4.4 and the Sparkling theme

Any ideas as this seems to be a common issue looking back through older topics

Irony is when I forgot my password to this forum it sent an email instantly!!!

Thanks in advance

BuddyPress is not Photoshop. The cropper is only cropping, ie from too big to admitted default size.
Size is dimension (150x150px), not quality (dpi).

Default avatar are registered in full-size of 150×150 and 50×50 for thumbnails. Both CSS adjusted depending where the avatar is used.

Adjusting a size from to big to smaller is generally better rendered as going from too small to bigger. But once a picture is cropped, his size fits to what is setup for default_size by WP/BP or you.

Picture format: jpg or png ? In brief; jpg remain static, png is more elastic. But nothing to do with BuddyPress img handling displaying (avatar, covers).

To fit img quality – from mobile to retina – you need an original picture of at least 145 dpi, what ever the size and the picture format. Actually for best quality, 300 dpi is a common usage.

But who knows what your users upload for their avatar ? A 3mo jpeg in 72 dpi 2400 x 1850 or a 30ko jpeg in 150 dpi and 800x600px ? Or an exact and optimized (default) 150X150, jpeg/145dpi of 9 ko ?

Frankly the only thing you can do in regard of “quality” pictures for BuddyPress, is to use the default size for avatars, eventually adjusted by a few more pixel because of your theme and available place.

I won’t struggle much with code but inform clearly my user to use a picture of 250×250 max for custom avatar and to respect – so far as possible – the size indicated for a cover img, for which you can recommand a dpi of 150. But without any waranty they obey your recommandations.

To adjust max cropping size, you can add this to your bp-custom.php file:

/* AVATAR MAX CROP SIZING */
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 60 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 60 );
define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 175 );
define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 175 );

Try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
(old but still working)

I think you can do that by creating a custom menu with the profile, message and notification links then using the custom menu widget to place in the side. Use the screen options fold out on the admin >appearance >menu page to make the Buddypress profile, notifications etc menu links visible.
