BuddyPress.org

Is this a plugin or BuddyPress? I’m asking as you say custom subscribe fields. Are those profiles or using a custom plugin?

@rastarr
Are you using WordPress SEO plugin in conjuction with this fix from BuddyDev:

Making WordPress SEO plugin compatible with BuddyPress

It also helps having links to your site from other popular social networks as well as linking back. I am not an expert on SEO I just know what worked for me in the past.

We’re only a new BuddyPress installation though the site has been going for about 4 years – http://www.geekandjock.com

My challenge is getting participation as well as expanding the community’s existence in the big wide wonderful world.

For me, any suggestions in getting the word out would be really appreciated.
What do others do for this? Maybe this would make a better topic elsewhere

There’s one I know

very nice !

I suggest you use http://serverpress.com to easily install WordPress and then the plugin BuddyPress

@gcarlos8377 Your htaccess

# uploaded ?les
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)??les/(.+) wp-includes/ms-?les.php??le=$2 [L]

Normal/default htaccess

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

See if you can just write over what was generated and save htaccess file, then re-run Settings > Permalinks and double-check htaccess file again.

@totoff

re disable group creation for all users except admin -> you can do this in Settings > BuddyPress > Settings — Groups

re automatically link user to several groups -> no plugin that I know of does this. You could either code this or wait for a developer to create one or hire a developer to make a plugin

@wgbcworship Did you check if your registration works if BuddyPress is deactivated? What’s in your .htaccess file?

@gcarlos8377 Where did you install WordPress – domain root, physical subdomain or subdirectory folder? What’s in the .htaccess file of you multisite installation? Where is BP installed in the main site of your network or in subsite? does your registration work if BuddyPress is deactivated?

@gcarlos8377
When troubleshooting it is wise to deactivate “ALL” plugins other than BP and maybe bbPress and reverting too either the Twenty Twelve theme or bp-default. Do not selectively keep certain plugins activated when troubleshooting because the one that is causing the issue may be the one you failed to deactivate. If the registration then works you can start reactivating each plugin individually while testing the registration process against it. When you find the one that caused the issue then you can either not use it, or request support from the plugins author.

Go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings – Groups and remove ability of all users to create groups. Then, there’s also the BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation plugin which extends the capabilities but I’m not sure if it’s still compatible with current BP 1.7.2

@gcarlos8377 Basic troubleshooting involves deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and switching to the Twenty Twelve theme to check if registration is working by default. Then add on each plugin and test.

Never used Magic Member before, so if you find out that it’s causing the issue, I suggest you search the plugin’s forums for any report on BuddyPress conflict. Usually, support is guaranteed along with the purchase of the premium plugin.

@daniel-alonso could be that your page title is not within the WP loop. Appending /create to the groups directory URI will help you get to the Groups Create page. e.g. example.com/groups to example.com/groups/create

Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can add the code to your My Account section of the WP Toolbar https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1838

Thanks for posting back and congratulations on getting your issue resolved 🙂
Marking this topic as so.

@sullyllus
You really need to do a little more research on this topic because it will give you a better understanding of WP and BP. The short answer to this is Yes you need to install WordPress because BuddyPress is a plugin that extends WordPress. There is lots of info in the codex of WP and BP. There is also lots of video tutorials on YouTube. Google is your friend as well. Good luck!

@gcarlos8377 more like an issue with the seed registration plugin. Deactivate that plugin and change to Twenty Twelve theme then go through the regular BP registration process.

@dsvay Looks like yout issue is not with BuddyPress but the Customizr theme as determined at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-media-and-buddypress?replies=8
Please post at the theme’s support forums https://wordpress.org/support/theme/customizr

Not quite sure what you mean. Look at the navigation style https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7.2/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css#L505 and override or use Firefox add-on Firebug to identify what you need to change

This is the old thread but the same question, I didn’t want to spam here that’s why I will ask the same question here again, I would like to dynamically populate buddypress data into custom post types gravity forms when the user is logged in, I am succesfully populating wordpress user meta, but I don’t know the code in functions.php for buddypress profile fields to make them work, I have already asked on Gravity Help forum, but there are plenty of questions like that and the same as mine question they have never been answered, I hope that maybe somebody from this forum already had to resolve that problem in the past.

@tfazlani Would you mind sharing your working code Tfazlani?
