“need a FTP script” – tried filezilla?
I use smart ftp more often, but filezilla is free last I checked.

ftp in, download a backup of all the files.

Don’t know what you mean by “SQL script to remove buddypress” – I would use phpmyadmin to login to your sql database, click export, custom, check ‘add drop table’ – and save a copy..

then I would go to (via ftp or file manager in cpanel) – site / wp-content/plugins

I’d rename the plugins folder to /plugins-hold – then create a new /plugins folder

at that point you should be able to login to the site if you to sitename/wp-admin/

I’d immediately check appearance – themes – change to default.. then start adding the needed plugins one by one.. if you find that enabled two plugins at once causes a problem – you probably have found the conflict.

Of course it could be a theme issue, a corrupt database, a hacked site – who knows.. but that’s what I would do.. I’m not an expert, and double check the documentation at wordpress.org for making backups. ( https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups )
Hope that helps.

@phound1

have you tried to see if bp emails work when the other plugins are disabled?

maybe some of things we posted about in the forums long ago may offer some clues as to where the hiccup is. I stiff refer to https://buddypress.org/support/topic/not-receiving-notification-of-new-user-registration/ on occasion.

Hi,

for 1) try
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . 'type=alphabetical' ) ) : ?>

For 2) read here perhaps it helps

On any decent server config, warnings and errors will not be shown on screen in production environments. Instead, it’ll be written to a log file. So you will still have the problem.

Try switching back to your real theme (so the warning comes back), and then disable plugins one-at-a-time. See if you can figure out if it’s a combination of one plugin and your theme causing the problem.

Is this a custom theme you wrote? Or did you buy from somewhere? Are BuddyPress templates defined in the theme (it’d be in your_theme/buddypress/ subfolder)? If it’s isolated to only your theme and not your theme+plugins, you’re going to have to debug through the members templates and figure it out.

BuddyPress doesn’t have a wall feature like how you think it does. You’ll need to check out a Wall plugin for BuddyPress, maybe http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddyboss-wall/

You could use member types to create child and adult types and add a radio button to the BuddyPress registration form?

Member Types

Using BP Theme Compat in Plugins.

BuddyPress has no more theme since 1.9. The old BP-Default theme is only in for backward compatibility.
If you build a plugin for BP, i don’t think you need to build an extra theme for it. BP use only templates, who have enough flexibility to fit with almost any theme.

Globally, for a plugin, you have to match with BP’s templates, not with a theme or another.

Ie. if you need a setting screen on profiles, you can use a simple call to a kind of pre-build template you can use for plugins
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );

By using this, you’re on the profile with a new tab related to your plugin and automatically also integrated to the user’s theme. In other words, BP takes in account your plugin and the theme takes account of BP.

I wouldn’t recommand to build a theme with a plugin, as they are so many different themes on hand. If you don’t fit to the majority of them for any obvious reason, you’ll get in high difficulties if you are to specific. Don’t forget that you will have a plugin support to manage…

Made it simple and efficient and if possible, easy maintainable and upgradable. For you but also for any user type.

Here’s an example of what’s allowed:

Activity Stream Plus for BuddyPress

Note, the following is an example of what isn’t allowed:

BuddyPress Activity Stream Plus

You may come across older plugins that use the 2nd naming style. That’s because the guidance above was introduced by the WordPress Plugin Review Team relatively recently.

Some documentation here:

Template Overload from a Plugin

Using BP Theme Compat in Plugins

Hi @tronix-ex,

Give this a try. Read more will only appear again if you use more than 500 000 characters…
Add to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_excerpt_length( $length ) {	

$length = 500000; // adjust the length to desired number of characters 

// Is the current page a user's activity stream page ?
	if( bp_is_user_activity() ) {
	  return $length;
	}
}
add_filter( 'bp_excerpt_length', 'bpfr_excerpt_length', 11, 1 );

Hi,

you can use BuddyPress in the plugin name, under condition the public can understand clearly that it is an add-on FOR BP and not a part OF BP.

For the domain name, i presume it’s the same trademark condition as for wordpress: no, you can’t. You can use bp-something[dot]com but not buddypress-something[dot]com

BuddyPress comes like WordPress under GPLv2 license and has similar terms of use.
