BuddyPress.org

@lehn6 For clarity, let’s go over some points you made above.

>> I have a multisite network set up and had Buddypress installed on http://www.example.com/subsite1, as in that subsite was where the BP install was placed

So do you have something like this in your wp-config.php:
define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', $blog_id ); where $blog_id is a the ID number of your subsite

>> UserPro plugin was added and network activated, then subsite1 was improperly deleted

Do you mean subsite1 was deleted by you or developer? How was it deleted? Do you have a database backup of your site before subsite1 was deleted?

>> looking to install BP to the main site and network activate. When I go to do that I find that as soon as I network activate BP the network admin dash and the main site dash are basically the same, where it says I am in the main site dash but none of the pages or posts are displayed.

How are the network admin dashboard and main site dashboard the same? Do you mean you have no access anymore to the Network Admin menus? https://codex.wordpress.org/File:dashboard.png vs https://codex.wordpress.org/File:superadmin-options.png Can you post a screenshot?

Create first a bp-custom.php file and add it to the plugins directory.

Than add these snippet, which let you handle activities which may not be commented.

function browserco_activity_nocomment( $can_comment = true, $type = '' ) {
        if ( empty( $can_comment ) ) {
                return $can_comment;
        }
		
        // list of activities which can't be commented
        $cant_comment_types = array( 
				'new_forum_topic' => 1,
				'new_forum_post' => 1,
        );
 
        return ! isset( $cant_comment_types[ $type ] );
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_comment', 'browserco_activity_nocomment', 10, 2 );

Some BP activity types
activity_comment
activity_update
last_activity
friendship_created
joined_group
new_blog_post
new_avatar
updated_profile

Note that some plugins add their own activity types. To get activity type names, go to the DB and check the “type” column in _bp_activity table.

then added that to the buddypress pages

@seph
Make sure that you didn’t add the Register link under any of the main BP component pages (e.g. Members, Groups, Blogs, Activity) in the menu links.
Make sure that you didn’t add any text in your “Register” page so that BP can automagically add the Registration Form and the first group of the Profile fields in thepage.
Make sure that you’re not logged in when you go to the Register page.

I was having the same issue. When I set up my menu, I saw a section on the left that had a BuddyPress tab below the Page tab. Turns out the BuddyPress options map to the user that was logged in. I don’t think all themes show this because I have a test environment that does not show the BuddyPress tab. Check your url and make sure that you are going to domainname/groups/ (or whatever your page name is for the groups). My site was going to domainname/members/username/ when I clicked the Groups link in the menu.

hi @rezon8dev

see if this topic can help you:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/find-the-new-field_-nameid-in-the-database/

No, that’s not a BuddyPress standard behave. Frienships are made by request, and not automatically for each new registered user.

If you don’t give the list of used plugins, nobody will help you to resolve the “perhaps”.

You’re welcome. 😉

FYI, reading the codex and this forum is a good way to learn.

And if you like BP, don’t forget the 2015 Survey. 😉

Currently when someone registers they have automatic friend requests in Friends-Requests space, from everyone already registered.

Never seen this in BuddyPress. Do you use some friendship or social plugins ? What is your theme?

It’s unclear: do you have public or private groups ?
– Groups set for public viewing not showing up.
– There are groups on the site which are set for private viewing.

Privacy settings are different for these types of groups.

hi @minglonaire,

Your question is related to bbPress, but the answer is no. CSS is not made for that.
To change the words, you can use the language file or try this code, found on bbPress forum.

Read the whole topic first, as they’re some points which are important to take in consideration.

Titles – Roles

Hey @planetearthlings very good idea, i like it! I wish you guys the best with this project as it seems very ambitious, in regards to what you want to achieve i would look into plugins available such as buddypress gifts 2014 and mycred and maybe combining them together for the awards system you mentioned, maybe you could even have the plugins customized specifically for what you need.

I am unsure how and what you intend to do about integrating a game and app system into use with buddypress, this seems like it could be a massive task to achieve and will no doubt give you a few headaches to overcome, i have sat back in the past and thought about how great it would be to have games and apps integrate with buddypress the way they do on other social networks such as fb.

Like i said i wish you all the best in this project and im sure others can give you a few bits of input and ideas.

I wish I could… but things are really screwey right now from what I can tell. If you read the 6107 linked info you would see that there are essentially three different code bases / thingys going on right now that are all producing different title results – see this spreadhseet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ww95Q184EAHG0ztI9MtkdjpA2pALnMY0L-R7FA6QqGc/edit?pli=1#gid=0

I had some code cobbled together to make everything “work” as I needed to fix most of the buddypress titles – but that was with buddypress 2.1.1 and Yoast 1.7.2 – now it seems that updating to 2.2 and 174 my custom cobbled code gets broken..

so now I have an updated site, and updated plugin from yaost.. but if I activate the yaost plugin it overrides my custom page title and meta description settings (from the code I have added in mu-plugins folder) – for now I have disabled yaost, which has brought back my custom code to add titles and descriptions to many bp pages! But now that yoast is turned off, I have lost the custom titles and descriptions for the main pages of the web site – meh.

Ash and Vladislav from premium.wpmudev.org came up with this code to wrap to fix my issues as it were before the latest yoast updates:
(hmm.. I tried posting the code, and I get “Error your reply cannot be created at this time” – stupid bp.org – I think the word seks is offensive along with alt seks lifestyles here – anyway – you can probably see the code without being a member / loggin in here anyways:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bp-meta-tite-description-for-groups-and-members-pages#post-806736

Some of that is hard coded instead of how it could be done (there is stuff in the codex about another method of calling “field’ => ‘age’, ‘user_id’ => $user_id))” stuff…. and there is not php tag at opening to make it plugin..

Maybe the info in another forum post here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bussdypress-title-and-seo-yoast-problem/#post-236244 will shed SOME light on the issue.

when I create another social network

How are you creating another social network? I’ve not seen this myself – I run a wp-ms with buddypress.. it is one social network, in which each user can create new blogs (which the system calls creating a new “site” (which is stupid imho)) – but not seen an option to create new social networks.. so I am confused what you mean.

I’ve run into the same problem and asked for ideas around here and seen others that have posted about it in the yoast forums a few times – don’t know why yoast does not get into the bp pages thing. I got some help from the wpmu-dev guys that cobbled together some code that creates page titles and meta descriptions for members and groups pages – which is awesome!

Does not fix the member/username/messages and similar sub-sub pages (but I block those with robots.txt wildcard matching anyhow)

Would like to see buddypress pages added to some kind of taxonmie thing that yaost would auto pickup.. and love to see the options for setting templates within buddypress itself, so as to not rely on yaost for some this, and custom mu=plugins hack to fix other parts of it… google’s webmaster tools alerts missing info on many pages of an active bp site, and has for a long time.

hi @5high,

as @hnla mentionned it, CSS is not the correct way to ‘remove’ something, because it’s not removed from source code, but only hidden to visitors.

Here is a solution to remove what’s new form from the activity page, but let it live for groups.

1) copy bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php
to the child-theme, to get /child-theme/buddypress/activity/index.php

2) open the copied file and remove line 7 to 11

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

   <?php bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

To remove the form from members single activities

3) copy bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/activity.php,
to the child-theme, to get /child-theme/buddypress/members/single/activity.php

4) remove only line 35

bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

Hope this help.
