BuddyPress.org

I wish there was some way of contacting users in these forums to see if they ever found solutions to the problems posted.

I am having the exact same problem as the original user.
… and yes, while I understand that ‘protocol’ is to start a new thread, perhaps it’s time the community took an iterative and evolutionary approach to this practice, as the way that search engines work, allowing people to connect when the issues appear IDENTICAL (and yet often never result in the publishing of adequate solutions) would support people to self-correct their own work through better search capacity within the collective intell of the group…
and also too often new threads go weeks and more without adequate response.

If anyone actually has found a solution, please post?

edit:

The text from “users who like / who likes this” also disappeared..

Best hack I could find, so far! (component works, database-entry work, notif appears – sometimes)
Some few issues though…
see pastebin..

1. The Notification appears in the bar, but firstly it appears in the likers-notifications (quite earlier than in the liked-profile)

2. Theres no text/link, the Notifs are empty

3. In the likers-notifs, the live-notification(-plugin) appears (but also without text), but this doesnt happen on the liked-profile (with no appearing “notifications”-wording, right before the count + with no live-notification-popup)

Would be great to have some more explanation!

Thank you very much!

I had lots of members complaining with poor performance, and combining W3TC page cache, CDN, and Minfiy and WP internal cache it’s now running lighting fast.

To minify your scripts and stylesheets is essential to get your page speed up, also moving all assets to CDN, I’m using CloudWatch was a big performance boost. It’s so cheap its worth paying for a good CDN service, quarter dollar for 10TB traffic or something.

Dont forget to add <?php define('ENABLE_CACHE', true); ?> in your wp-config.php file, made a huge difference for me as well, small things that your members will thanks you for.

Hope that helps.

I got exactely the same problem over here. Field types “Website” & “Birthday” don’t show up on the “edit profile” screen. They don’t display on the “view profile” screen even so. All I see is the message from the privacy plugin, telling the visibility for the specific field.

Other field types like “Textbox” or “Checkboxes” work well.

I am using WordPress 3.5.2, BuddyPress 1.7.3 and BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.6.5 – my theme is Custom Community.

Does someone know what’s wrong?

BP not working, no BP button in left vertical nav of WP dashboard

@fel3000 Since BP version 1.6, you can configure BuddyPress from admin dashboard Settings > BuddyPress. Before activating other BP plugins make sure BuddyPress.

Re creating a group, the Group Create button which is usually beside the Groups Directory page title, goes missing in some themes when the_title is not within the WordPress loop. Also, make sure that you did not disable group creation in Settings > BuddyPress > Settings > Groups

@marcella1981 hello i required same registration form as @davidveldt..and you have already given an solution to it but i cant understand where the ” pastebin ” you gave should be copy in buddypress theam..?

agree: The activate page is superfluous and it causes a lot of confusion!

Help, how do i get rid of the activate page?

Activate Page

How have you removed /members/? BuddyPress as a way to do that so links get changed automatically.

add_filter( 'bp_core_enable_root_profiles', '__return_true' );

<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink( bp_loggedin_user_id() ); ?>

or

<a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain(); ?>">Profile</a>

@layo_bcn https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev/es/default and export po file near bottom of page

@aliona_k you’d need the bbPress plugin to set up Sitewide and/or Group forums in BuddyPress

@neil-mcevoy Not an issue with the BuddyPress plugin. Deactivae the BuddyPress Social plugin and post at plugin author’s forums at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-social

@ssavvy default way is to go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings – Groups > Group Creation and make sure the Setting is disabled. Then you could set up a Blog Post or Forum Post or Contact form where users who want to create a group can contact you. You set it up for them and make them admins and remove yourself from admin if you prefer.

Or, you could limit Groups per user with http://buddydev.com/plugins/limit-groups-per-user/

The button was showing yesterday.

Yes, it would show up in BP Default theme, Twenty Ten Eleven Twelve and Thirteen, and all other themes which have the page title template tag within the WordPress loop. If your button doesn’t show up, then you’d either have to add the code to your theme file e.g. example.com/groups/create (just need to add /create to URL). Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, add link to create a group in toolbar apply patch per this trac ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1838

@tosen the only other media plugin I know which is compatible with BuddyPress and which allows media (photo, video, audio) uploads via post update box in Activity Stream is the premium BP Gallery plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/

There’s a free media plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/ I haven’t used this plugin so do check if it allows uploads from Activity Stream post update box and which is free and which upload is PRO/premium version.

@kukuruk where are you hosted? Windows or Linux server? BuddyPress requires pretty permalinks, have you set your permalinks to other than default in Settings > Permalinks? Have you gone and set up BuddyPress in Settings > BuddyPress?

A few years ago I set up my first buddypress site and sold it.

I definitely remember using a dynamic url for links to the users profile, activity stream etc.

It was something like:

http://www.mydomain.com/member/$profile/

Are we all sure that this can no longer be done?

@stewartjanderson check out http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/

@mohsenm @4ella
Yeah Brajesh’s plugin works great. Here is an alternate method I posted on my blog if you wanna give it a try.
BuddyPress Redirect To Profile Trick Using A Landing Page.

With the update to BP 1.7.3 is bp-custom.php no longer a valid way to make configuration settings changes?

It depends on the change. See https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/ for some more info. We haven’t changed how bp-custom.php is handled, so things should still work IF they used to work.
