Thanks for your feedback, can you confirm this patch is solving your issue ?

Perhaps list all of the featured LinkedIn has that you want to have in your BuddyPress site then recommending plugins will be a little easier

From a developers perspective, BuddyPress gives you a large amount of functionality in what a social network is known to be. For FREE. The last bits that you need for a unique site/app/experience is up to you. BuddyPress even includes many APIs to add more functionality.

BuddyPress dropped theme dependency in version 1.7. The base templates that come with the plugin are generically a basic social network. This is just one example of how to use the core software on the front end.

Here is a perfect example of doing something besides a “dated social network” as you put it, and this was years ago, it’s a web based game with BuddyPress. http://www.bpinspire.com/zombies-vs-hippies

It is really a disservice to the contributors of this project when people post these rants. They work countless hours to give you something that is ridiculously feature rich. No one is ever going to develop for you a “magical just what you expect” social network for free.

If you think there are areas that need enhancement then help contribute to the project.

Hi @imath, @boonebgorges,

I think the problem is caused by bp_update_to_2_0().
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5569

@eddieb12180 Did you even try adding the styles I provided above? Of course you can make some changes in the registration page’s markup. Copy over the register.php file from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into yourchildthemefolder/buddypress/members/ folder and make the changes you want to html tags available there.

@eddieb12180 Add the simple tweaks below to your child theme’s stylesheet and adjust to taste. Basically, tame the styles of the descriptions and settings so it will be more visually pleasing.

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-toggle,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-notoggle {
font-size: 14px !important;
}

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings legend,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-toggle {
font-style: normal !important;
}

#buddypress .current-visibility-level {
font-weight: normal !important;
}

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings a.visibility-toggle-link {
font-style: italic;
text-decoration: underline;
}

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings legend,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-toggle {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

@simple-man you might want to read the release docs more carefully 😉

From what i see, the latest user you registered “Leon123” is an author. Have you changed his role manually ? else the signup process is ok.

174 users seems to be problematic

I wonder who is adding ‘signup_ip’ in the usermeta, have you reactivated the plugins ? Or it maybe the theme you are using ? In options i see that “buddycorp” is adding a lot of options and some are related to signups, is it your theme ?

Otherwise, i think i would test this :
0/ make a back up of the database.

1/ It looks like you deactivated BuddyPress and rollback to a previous version of the database several time because in the signups table, there were signups in “8plicate”
So before batch activate or activate, you’ll surely need to run this query :
DELETE FROM wp_signups WHERE signup_id > 173

2/ try with one user (for example “sert” ID = 2006) to edit his user_status to 2 and then go into the BuddyPress signups management screen and try to activate him. Once done check his role.

3/ If everything went fine, i think, i’ll update the user status of the 174 users to 2, then form the signups management screen batch activate the 174 users, i think it’s best to do it step by step, you can increase the number of signups displayed from the screen options, but i advise you not to set it to 174, maybe 40.

to update the 174 user status, you can run this query in PhpMyAdmin for example :
UPDATE wp_users SET user_status = 2 WHERE ID NOT IN ( SELECT user_id FROM wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key = "wp_capabilities" );

For your info activating the signup for the “admin” user won’t work as the activation key is empty, so you can just delete it for this user.

I wonder if it’s not simpler for you to batch edit the user roles.

@livsy

Just tested in WP 3.9/ BuddyPress 2.0, the role set for a new user is the one that is defined in the WordPress setting (wp-admin/options-general) > New User Default Role dropdown field.

This sounds like something that can be achieved without multisite.You can use Buddypress Groups and bbPress running as a forum for each group to achieve the discussion / chat.

Each project could become a BuddyPress Private Group with its own forum / docs.

If you want a seperate blog for each project then that would require multisite,but one blog categorised by project could achieve the same thing without the additional comlexity.

@godavid33 If you’re on BP 2.0 version, go to Dashboard > Tools > BuddyPress and run repair tools one by one. https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/buddypress-repair-tools-admin-screen/

@ksample Thanks for posting back about the plugin conflict. If you like the plugin might I suggest informing the developer about the issue so he can update it https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-like

Marking this as resolved.

I just tried mentioning 11 users on P2 and couldn’t duplicate your issue.

It appears this issue only occurs when you view the post on the frontend since you state that the correct content shows up when you edit the post.

Try the recommendation I listed in the ticket you opened:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5565#comment:1

If that doesn’t work, what other plugins are you using?

@ksample What theme were you using? Change theme to one WP Default themes like Twenty Fourteen/Thirteen/etc. to check if issue is resolved. If not, deactivate plugins other than BuddyPress to check which plugin is causing the media upload conflict.

@mr-bronze answered you at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/upgraded-and-now-nav-and-sidebar-is-responsive/

Try the following:

* Login to the WP admin dashboard
* Navigate to “Tools > BuddyPress”
* Check Repair user “last activity” data
* Click on the “Repair Items” button

Let the task run. After it’s done, then, check to see if that fixes things with the members widget.

Hi Djsix,

The problem occurs because a check is added to see if a user is logged in before the activity comments block is displayed.

I’ve created a new ticket about this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5567

In the meantime, you can override the specific template by copying wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/entry.php to your theme.

The file should reside here – wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/buddypress/activity/entry.php. Then, make the file change listed in the patch linked in the ticket above.
