BuddyPress.org

@patricksaad
I was just informing you of the release of the plugin which works perfectly in my test environment. If you can get your code working and integrated into the core great, if not there is a viable option already.

No I didnt try deactivating plugins since I was not sure which plugin is actually causing this error.

Having links showing up twice in Posts when you only posted it once is not normal for any BuddyPress or regular WordPress installation. It’s basic troubleshooting to deactivate plugins either one by one or by batch or all together (except BuddyPress) to find out which plugin is causing the error. Btw, you didn’t mention what theme you are using.

If I click on “add links” , it shows me add link here and then a preview button.

Is that “add links” coming from a plugin? What exactly do you preview after you click “add link”?

What exactly do you mean by post links and where is the issue showing up? Blog post links or Forum post links or Activity Status update post links?

Have you tried to deactivate plugins batch by batch except BuddyPress to determine whether it’s a plugin conflict?

@nanaimomen just tested it in BP 1.7.2 install. That code would bring back the Buddybar of yore and not the current BuddyPress links integrated into the WP toolbar.

If you did want BuddyBar back then check:
– Did you place the code posted above in a new flle named bp-custom.php ?
– Did you upload that file into your server wp-content/plugins/ folder ?

@ihpalash You might want to look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/

@thebuded something you should report in Trac https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
Log in using WP/BP username and password. Please include more info about your installation including from what version you upgraded, plugins used, etc.

And when I looked for the “bp-custom.php” file, I don’t see it anywhere in the recent installation.

@ebarney You need to create the file. In the last line of the first paragraph at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ there’s a link to the bp-custom.php page

@patricksaad
There is now a premium plugin for activity stream throttling from BuddyDev:

Introducing BuddyPress Rate Limit User Activity: Throttle user updates/activities on a BuddyPress Based Site

That was a similar bug in bp v1.7.0 which was fixed in v 1.7.1 see: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/white-line-under-head-menu/#post-163065

You could try the ‘temporary’ fix for that bug: http://pastebin.com/sSBGjPNi in your child theme’s functions.php file…

I don’t really know the code that well to be sure I’m being accurate, though, especially if the codex is instructing people to make changes to core files.

The author answer means that the plugin works only with group forums ?!!!

So you have to search another rating widget who works with bbPress or create it yourself or to configure your buddypress to use group forums instead of a standalone forum.

But as bbP is fully post typed, have you tried to use the plugin’s shortcode ?

hi @4ella,

read here (published on march 2013…): http://wpmu.org/how-to-create-a-custom-buddypress-members-directory/
Step 7 explains how to make a 3 col grid on the members directory. Wouldn’t be difficult to transform in a 2 col grid i guess 😉

hi @ebarney,

is there any chance these codex pages could get updated?

Depends of you! Anybody can contribute to the Codex. 😉 It wworks like a wiki and you can edit each page you want.

Hi @henrywright-1,

i guess you can also filter by group profile ID

<?php if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=2') ) : 
echo bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Email' )
endif;

if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=45') ) : 
echo bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Email' )
endif;
?>

If you installed bbpress on WP, you have a standalone forum configuration ! So no matter if you installed it before BuddyPress. 😉

Have you group forums ?

What is the not working voting-widget plugin you speak about ? Give an URL please.

What BP/WP version do you use ?
What is your theme ?

I have been having the same issue and it looks like I might have a solution – I’ll at least post what steps I’ve taken and what documentation I based them on. I am running WordPress 3.5.1 as a multisite subdirectory installation on a WIMP server.

I read over this page of documentation that seems to apply to the situation, and I added the
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, # ) line to the wp-config.php file in the root directory.
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

That didn’t solve it, so I went back to read over this page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
I find the references to WPMU kind of confusing, since that hasn’t been used since before 3.0, I thought. And when I looked for the “bp-custom.php” file, I don’t see it anywhere in the recent installation. I found some of the same lines in the bp-loader.php file, but changes to that file didn’t change anything, since it seemed to be looking for a multiblog setting fist.

So I went to this page and read through it:
https://codex.buddypress.org/bp_enable_multiblog/
That lead me to add this line to my wp-config.php file:
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

I removed the changes I’d made to the bp-loader.php file to be sure there wouldn’t be problems later.

With both lines added to the wp-config.php file, I was finally able to go to this page and see the pages that belonged to the subsite rather than the root blog: {websiteurl}wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings. I will need to check to see what changes this makes to the rest of my blogs, but at least we have a test site running Buddypress now.

Also, is there any chance these codex pages could get updated? There are all kinds of references to multisite or network or WMPU that are not entirely clear and, as I mention above, there are instructions to open files in the buddypress install that don’t exist by those names anymore.

I don’t want to hijack your topic. But. I am looking for buddypress support in Hong Kong and wondered whether you know of other buddypress users in Hong Kong. If so, Please let me know on giles @ xtrain.biz.

Many thanks

You can use the procedures from this tutorial:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/
You could have a different logged out menu in which you could include the register link.

@dmd54
If your a beginner you should have just used the register page and changed the name tile to “Sign Up” and changed the slug of that same page to “sign-up.” Learn a bit more and get versed in the codex before you start customizing and changing things so much since you are a beginner. Basically you need to learn to crawl before you walk. Don’t jump into the deep end until you have some basic strokes! After all your on localhost so that is where you perfect things before putting it on a live server so study the codex, and have fun!
