BuddyPress.org

Questions and installations like this are becoming more common, and we have a loose plan on how to include provisions for this into BuddyPress core. Right now, you’ll end up needing a few extra plugins (and a little bit of on the job education) to make both WordPress and BuddyPress play exactly the way you need them to, but rest assured that both WP and BP do have the ability baked in to manipulate where things live and how they work together.

A few plugins to investigate:

• WP Multi Network
• BP Multi Network

They’ll let you have disparate BuddyPress networks rotating around one central user-base and logins. From there, you can see how these plugins work, and tweak your integration to suit your needs.

Also happy to try and guide you further as you need more specific code snippets to solve specific problems.

Hi @tsabar,

It depends, if you are creating a new site then you may as well get stuck straight in with BuddyPress 2.0 but if your site is being used by lots of users already you should probably stick with 1.9.2 which has been very thoroughly tested, not only by the development team but by thousands of other users, myself included, on their own sites. That way if their are any bugs in 2.0 your users won’t have to suffer.

I hope that helps you decide.

Best,

Joseph

Trust me… btw… if I can find a different program than BuddyPress… I will use a different program than BuddyPress with my WordPress site… because of this.

I hope there is a different program that will work well with WordPress… cuz I don’t want to use this program now.

The BuddyPress Like plugin does that:

I’m having the exact same issue. Change avatar works perfectly, as does just viewing the profile. However if I click edit, then I get redirected to a non profile page (in my case I have a page “editorial” that I get directed to instead of the group/1, but I had that behavior at one point when I re-wrote all the rules to use “change-profile” instead of “edit” as the action.)

I have found that if I uncheck the Extended Profiles component from the BuddyPress setup, then it works just fine. So it’s definitely related to xprofiles.

I’m running 3.8.2 and 1.9.2.

Very interested to see if there is a fix to this one. For now I’ve disabled the xprofile component so the users of this site can update their profiles at least.

Buddypress Wall sort of works, but it is riddled with bugs and the developer seems to be mia. That is to say, I don’t mean to knock the plugin; it is a good plugin but needs some bug fixes is all.

I would deactivate and delete BuddyPress and then re download it and install. Deleting it doesn’t delete settings. Make sure all your BuddyPress plugins are deactivated first.

Having the site installed in a subfolder may be an issue as well.

BuddyPress plugin supplies the template files UNLESS the theme has included them. Only BuddyPress specific themes would include the files. That’s why I asked you to switch to Twenty Twelve so it would use the files from the BP plug folder.

It may be a plugin causing issue. You can deactivate plugins one by one and test each.

read bottom of page

in the BuddyPress settings page there is an open to allow only Admins to create groups

go into the file and check if the code is there. BuddyPress should be installed on one domain. Is this multisite?

Did you remove the comment code from

buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/entry.php

or wrap the code in a check if user is logged in?

Contact theme developer and ask them to make their theme compatible with current BuddyPress. The template files supplied by Frisco are outdated.

That plugin doesn’t have end points for BuddyPress

@j0schi – If you’re currently on BuddyPress 2.0-beta-1, can you upgrade to 2.0-beta-2 and see if that fixes things?

BuddyPress 2.0-beta2

If not, try removing the blog post activity item. Then head over to the blog post, edit it and resave it to regenerate the activity item and test the comment syncing again.

@h2waldmann thanks, but I don’t see how this plugin integrates with Buddypress. Am I missing something obvious?

I am new to BuddyPress as well. From what I have tested, you can only add new members to group from backend Dashboard “Groups” menu. By default, this “Groups” menu is only accessible by site admin.

However, you can setup group admin and moderator. Both roles can invite friends to the group. This requires the friends feature enabled. Group admin\moderator have to add other users to their friend list. Then they can invite these friends of their own to the group.

I hope this help!

I also try to give group admin the ability to add new member directly (instead through dashboard “Groups” menu or invitation), but no luck so far. If anyone knows there is a plugin can do so, please let me know.
