BuddyPress.org

Personally I would recommend a host close to where your community is located. This helps a lot with speed already. Since most of the “recommended” hosts are located in US, which will make your site load slow if your for example located in Europe.

to the group,

I am running WordPress 3.6 and BuddyPress 1.8.1 and have the exact same problem as above. When I fill out the Registration Form and his submit, it just blanks out my “Confirm Password” field and re-displays the form with the original data that I entered. I have tried changing the Twenty Twelve or bp-default themes, but no luck. Any thoughts?

thank you!

Hi Guys – had the same problem but simply used a WordPress user approval plug in which worked fine with BuddyPress. I used: https://wordpress.org/plugins/new-user-approve/

Update: When logged in, I am replicating the problem due to the toolbar appearing in the header. The solution above works when a user isn’t logged in. Furthermore, “responsive mode” doesn’t have these issues.

I was having the exact same problem (BuddyPress 1.8.1 & WordPress 3.6). I found a solution: I turned off “Show the Toolbar for logged out users” under the Buddypress settings. It seems that the image mapping for menus may get misaligned when that setting is activated (or possibly some other conflict)

All of my menus work again on the iPad & iPhone 🙂 It should work for you too.

I’m working with Gabor and have a complementary question.

In Using bbPress 2.2+ with BuddyPress I read in the “Migrate BP Discussion Forums to bbPress” section that bbPress has a bunch of cool features that BP Discussion Forums doesn’t. Isn’t one of those features that a BP group using bbPress can have multiple forums?

After doing some research I have found that the avatar upload step was showing up in my child theme but it has been discontinued due to security risks with uploading images to the server for non-registered users. I cut this block of code out of the register.php file per the directions in this codex page:

Maybe this will help you !

ps: cool radio !

A few things to add to the situation.
I have looked in the register.php file which I can modify in my child theme folder (Registration/register.php). The code to upload an avatar during the registration process exist at the end of the register.php file. The upload step however only displays when I have my suffusion theme active. It does not show up in the default twentytwelve or twentythrirteen themes or the buddypressdefault theme.
The final step of the registration process says “Your Current Avatar” and gives the option to choose a file and upload the image. When I select a file and click the Upload Image button the cropping tool should display but it doesn’t. Instead I get directed back to an empty registration page.
Please let me know if anyone has a fix for this. I would really like to use the avatar upload in registration and I think others want this option as well.

not really any different from any other plugin, install, activate, the instructions on the repo page are a little dated, there is no wizard anymore.

You have nothing to add to bp-custom.php
If you’re on a local install, verify that the gettext php module is activated.
If you are on a network install, you have to set your language in WP’s settings
The translation file path is wp-content/languages/buddypress-sv_SE.mo

@modemlooper: yes I got this.
Thanks

if you dont have header-buddypress.php file then it falls back to the default header.php

Just put the actual code on the registration page?
You can edit register.php in the theme.

You could also take a look at bp_get_current_signup_step(), if you want to make it an actual step in the registration process.

Maybe you could add a form that shows when a users tries accessing the register page that would require them to enter a security code first before seeing the actual register page.

Something like

if(!is_user_logged_in()) {
   if(!$_POST["access"]) {
     -show access form-
   } else {
     -show register page-
   }
} else {
  -redirect user since he's already logged in-
}

(Just a raw sketch)

Just redirect any url towards the register/login page if the user isn’t logged in?

Because the forums inside buddypress only work for buddypress groups. If you want a global forum, you will have to install bbPress as well.

Jetpack->WordPress.com Stats->Configure->Put a chart showing 48 hours of views in the admin bar.

Then go to Settings->General and see what New User Default Role is set as.
Anyone other than subscriber will see the stats. You will have to go back and change the subscriber settings for anyone that registers.

@roger: I have installed buddypress plugin in my wp site but there is not any header-buddypress.php file exists.
