Don’t listen to that BS. If that person that replied above that mentioned that plugin really wanted to help then they would period. That user is a phony and I will leave it at that!

I know this thread is over a month old, but I have a question about this plugin. Has anyone successfully modified it to allow for the editing of entries? It looks like the only options are add and delete. “Edit” would really make this plugin complete, though.

I plan on using it for something a little different than resumes, and my using will probably be editing their entries a lot — so forcing them to delete and rewrite them each time would probably make me public enemy number one.

@wpmirwin yeah that could be the difference, I’m using the latest Buddypress.

take a look at cubepoints: https://wordpress.org/plugins/cubepoints-buddypress-integration/

I’m having the exact same issue. Have completely up to date buddypress and wp installations, deactivated all plugins, then tried buddypress pending activations plugin by itself and then unconfirmed plugin by itself. No luck, still have users with blank forum roles and completely unactivated accounts.

Hi SondreGrande – I am having the exact same issue – also hosting at Godaddy.

(I notice you have solved the issue)

How did you solve the problem ? Also, did you have to do something to get activate url to work?

Much appreciate the help. Thanks!

@haies
You can add the below code to your themes functions.php or bp-custom.php
You can change “profile” in the below code to whatever page you need if profile is not the page you want the user to be redirected too.

function custom_login_redirect_to($user_login, $user) {
	bp_core_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . "/profile/" );
}
add_action('wp_login', 'custom_login_redirect_to', 10, 2);

There is also a plugin that you could try but it hasn’t been updated in over a year:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

the original group based forums have been depreciated now what happens is each group is it’s own forum/topic in the regular site wide forums which are connected vis the forum tab in the groups page.

I’m not sure how I could contribute to be honest

well i don’t know jack about php i contribute by helping pick off some of the low hanging fruit here so that people who have more development related experience can address more challenging issues. i also contribute to the ux/ui discussions and will soon be helping help build the new template pack pieces as that kind of thing is more in my wheel house. i also help out with testing when i can.

Does Automattic not have some level of involvement in the development needs of Buddypress?

yes but it’s not like they make money off of it or anything so I’m sure the resources they are already donating are purely a cost i doubt it would make sense for them to hire dedicated support staff just for buddypress.

I could contribute financially to get a developer to assist with this specific problem if need be but don’t know any devs who are BP qualified

i don’t want to be taken as speaking for the buddypress development group as a whole but as much as the sentiment is probably appreciated as far i know there really isn’t any kind of ongoing cost for this project other then people’s time. perhaps if money is the best way you feel you can contribute you should consider being a sponsor for the next buddycamp? just a thought, again probably your time and whatever your expertise is would probably be appreciated as much if not more. devchat is today (and every wednesday) at 19:00 UTC on irc channel #buddypress-dev

@ubernaut I’m not sure how I could contribute to be honest as I don’t have the required level of development skills to really make any kind of meaningful contribution. Does Automattic not have some level of involvement in the development needs of Buddypress?

hi i saw this solution does it help?

If you create a new profile group, then you could move some of those profile fields to these new groups and it won’t show up on all a once in the registration page.

To create a new profile group, login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Profile Fields” page. Next, click on the “Add New Group” button located in the header text.

@shreyachaudhary re backups – Read
– https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
There’s also a plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/

Can’t see how deactivating BP Login Redirect plugin could affect those customizations. Did you follow instructions on how to customize labels at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ ?

@nomad-one The feeds for all your public groups are working. There are no feeds for private groups which is how it’s supposed to be for logged out users.

I was wrong to use bp template pack?

@prn86 As of BP 1.7, BuddyPress is compatible with almost all WordPress themes without installing BP Template Pack plugin. Did you check your BP pages first, e.g. Members and Groups, before installing BP Template Pack plugin?

If not, deactivate BP Template Pack plugin then delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your gameleon theme folder in server during the Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

well you’re always welcome to help make things better it is definitely frustrating when a problem you can’t figure out is posted here and you don’t get a response or a partial one i think its basically a thing where people have to decide how they can best help and devote what time they can to help buddypress thrive.

there is no question that time is universally rare commodity amongst most of the people around here as I’m sure it is for you as well. you should consider taking part in the devchats or helping out either here on on trac, if you have the time.

sorry @ubernaut, I thought seeing the last reply without any solution was more than a year ago was a really bad sign. We’d only know someone’s working on it if we’re told and I do appreciate the work you guys do.

It is quite frustrating though as much as we know it’s open source software when it’s promoted so positively and then in real world use a person runs into crucial problems which derail projects and tarnish the image of the product.

Even more frustrating is the incorrect mimetype problem with group RSS feeds which i posted about here – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-group-activity-rss-feeds-not-valid-mime-type/

thats not very helpful is it? please understand everyone who posts here is a volunteer like any open source project. we are working on this bug currently (today in fact) you can see that here:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4564

@shreyachaudhary,

Not to worry,

You will be able to access your site through FTP, then rename buddypress to buddypres, and rename Commons in a Box aswell then you can Investigate further.

Naijaping

@zap4ever deactivate by renaming buddypress-group-extras plugin folder in server via s/FTP or cpanel

@prn86 if you need to post long blocks of code, please do so at pastebin.com and paste the generated URI here.

What theme are you using? If you are on WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.7.2, BP pages are rendered automagically without the BP Template Pack plugin.
