BuddyPress.org

If you know WordPress theming the book gets you up to speed with the extra functionality BuddyPress brings to templates.

BuddyPress Theme Development

No. The default them was deprecated. BuddyPress works with any well coded WordPress theme

@robg48 something else you could do is use a honeypot. An example is

http://www.pixeljar.net/2012/09/19/eliminate-buddypress-spam-registrations/

It works by adding a hidden field to your registration form. Users can’t see the field so will never complete it (it will always be blank). Spam bots, however, don’t view the page in the same way as users. They ‘see’ the page source so will always ‘see’ the hidden field and try to complete it.

On registration form submission, if the hidden field is blank then we know it’s a genuine user trying to sign up. If the field is completed then we know it’s a spam bot and we can halt the registration. Hence, the name honeypot.

Take a look at BuddyPress Like

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

It’s close to what you want. You can change the ‘like’ wording to ‘recommend’ easily via the WP dashboard.

>to use the normal bp loop functions to return all potential results regardless of location, and then write a PHP function to apply the radius test.

Don’t do that.

Use the radius, etc test first to gather matching user ids.
Then pass them to BP_User_Query, using the bp_pre_user_query_construct hook, so that you only have BP process the relevant ids.

I think you may be running on a windows IIS server as your links are of the form http://www.hout.us/Hout.US/index.php/about/ I’m not sure, but I don’t think you are meant to have index.php in a URL –

Also I think that capital letters in a URL are also invalid as maybe also is a dot between slashes ( in this probable context ) – ie the dot in: /Hout.US/

Are you sure you have installed wordpress correctly with mod_rewrite or substitute.

Does the suggestions on https://buddypress.org/support/topic/404-error-when-using-toolbaradminbar/ help?

Unfortunately I can’t be of more help as although I run windows I use an apache server, But others may have a better idea….

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you very much for the BuddyPress plugin (it is an awesome work! )
I have the same issue than nigelsd =(. When I click on “Complete Sign Up”, the page is reloading emptying just the password fields.

I have just installed on a local environment with MAMP:
– The latest stable version of wordpress (3.8.1).
– One plugin alone: BuddyPress in its latest stable version (1.9.2).
– I have installed nothing else and all with a new clean BDD.

Could you support us in order to be able to go a step further in the use of BuddyPress please?
Thank you very much in advance

Hi, I’m using Buddypress Version 1.7.2 and WP Content Filter Version 2.33. i already add your code at line 208 and it doesn’t work. i also add it into bp-custom.php file and also doesn’t work. did you have any suggestion for me.

Thanks

Hi @matthew.hout, Did you try Buddybosses Second idea? That’s what it sounds like the problem is. After you install BuddyPress you need to assign certain BuddyPress Pages to WordPress Pages (Activity Streams, Site Tracking, Members, Register and Active, are the pages depending on your Component Settings). To set these pages go to; Settings -> BuddyPress -> Pages. I don’t remember if BuddyPress creates the WordPress pages for you. You may have the create a blank page for each yourself. After you connect the WordPress pages to BuddyPress, I’d imagine it will start working.

@neerajkumar2020 have you posted at plugin’s support forum as Henry suggested in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-ass_digest_items-in-usermeta-table/ ?

That sounds like a better approach than mine. I just have a rather crude looking button which marks as read all unread notifications.

bp_notifications_mark_notifications_by_type is the function I’m using to do the marking. For example:

if ( bp_is_active( 'notifications' ) ) {
    bp_notifications_mark_notifications_by_type( bp_loggedin_user_id(), buddypress()->messages->id, 'new_message' );
    bp_notifications_mark_notifications_by_type( bp_loggedin_user_id(), buddypress()->activity->id, 'new_at_mention' );
}

Hi @neerajkumar2020

Ah right. So it’s this plugin you’re using:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

It’s very easy to update user meta in WordPress. See:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_user_meta

But the plugin uses the BP version of this function AND I see that there are conditions in place which govern when this particular meta value is updated.

Have you tried asking on the plugin’s support forum? That might be the best place to start as you’ll have people there far more familiar with the plugin’s code.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-group-email-subscription

ass_digest_items isn’t a meta key BuddyPress uses (to my knowledge). Are you sure it doesn’t come from a plugin?

@offereins – Thanks for the post.

Grabbing $_GET['s'] is, of course, intended behavior. But not allowing overrides – that, I would interpret as a bug. You can see the behavior here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.9.2/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php#L335

The proper fix is for us to sniff out querystrings *before* parsing the arguments passed to the function. That way, you can pass a null ‘search_terms’ parameter to bp_has_groups() to bypass our default behavior. Would you mind opening an enhancement ticket for this at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org?

For the time being, you can continue to do what you’re doing by manually setting/unsetting $_GET['s'], or you can filter the clause out of the SQL statement, both of which you’ve suggested above. The only other workaround that comes to mind is something like passing a space character ' ' as a search_terms param – though even that might miss groups with one-word names and descriptions.

For their own URL, this will happen automatically with BuddyPress. So to use your example, by default it would be: http://samplesite.com/members/tom-jones

These two membership plugins are both known to play well with BP:

Responsive.. sounds cool. Yeah BuddyPress will adopt your theme just like any other plugin. So you can design the theme from scratch. BuddyPress has its own HTML content that it will inject into the page via the_content, so you can style it with that in mind. It has its own stylesheet that you can build around, or deregister if you wanna go all out with your custom styles.

I think it might have been the process of updating, rather than the update itself, as I’ve searched and found several similar posts. We rolled back to 1.9.1 and the issue persisted.

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bad-link-to-profile-edit/ seems to have the same issue, and we’ve tried adjust the database as recommended by breakster, again with no luck. The OP from that post mentioned she was using BP 1.8
