Hi all,
I am on the hunt for a solution that will allow me to give users permission to edit a single page as well as create posts within a custom post type and create regular posts within only a particular category. Anyone know of any plugin that does this? I’m looking at Press Permit Pro but unsure.
I know this isn’t quite buddypress related, but we are using BP on this same site.
Thanks!!
Lauren
Thanks. I am have tried multiple sitemap plugins and they all give the same error when BuddyPress is active. If I disable BuddyPress the sitemap works fine. I am using WordPress SEO by Yoast at the moment, same deal. http://bphope.staging.wpengine.com/sitemap_index.xml
Hello,
I’m using the mentions feature in buddypress to let users post on other users activity stream. I’m using the plugin bp-activity-as-wire plus some snippet of code that I found online. that snippet of code makes the mentions appear in the user’s activity stream (the user who has been mentioned).
Inside bp-activity-classes.php in the get_filter_sql() function. I replaced:
if ( !empty( $filter_array['user_id'] ) ) {
$user_sql = BP_Activity_Activity::get_in_operator_sql( 'a.user_id', $filter_array['user_id'] );
if ( !empty( $user_sql ) )
$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;
With this code:
if ( !empty( $filter_array['user_id'] ) ) {
$user_sql = BP_Activity_Activity::get_in_operator_sql( 'a.user_id', $filter_array['user_id'] );
// START Also include @Mentions in User Stream
$search_terms = '@'.bp_core_get_username($filter_array['user_id']). '</span>';
$user_sql.= "OR ( a.content LIKE '%%".like_escape($search_terms)."%%' )";
// END Also include @Mentions in User Stream
if ( !empty( $user_sql ) )
$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;
It worked perfectly until the last update (2.2.0).
I can see that there is a new method get_scope_query_sql() which overrides activity arguments. When I comment out the function call inside get() everything is working.
My question is what might happen if I leave that function call commented out? Is it going to break anything on my site? I can’t upgrade to 2.2.0 without fixing this issue first.
Hi,
Is there any plugin that allow buddypress to have elections? , I tried with http://www.wp-elections.com/ but its too simple.
Thanks in advance
BuddyPress is only a plugin you can use with almost any correctly formated theme.
See here how you have to do this:

Problem:
Buddypress user can create a group which have the same name of an existing group. In this way, there are two group whith the same name. How to solve it?
BuddyPress version 2.1.1 installed.
Hello there,
I’ve installed buddypress on several servers allready and I am familiar with most of the settings. But in my actual installation I have problems setting up the needed directories.
I’ve created the site register and activate but I can’t associate them in the settings.

Can anyone help me please?
I use WordPress 4.1/ Buddypress 2.2 and I have no other plugin activated.

A question regarding BuddyPress as used by Educational institutions:
Can multiple teachers set up multiple students (thus classes) with each set of teachers and classes being private or not accessible by others except the teacher and the admin? Is that functionality in BuddyPress?
Hi – I changed Messages to Mail in the BuddyPress nav menu. And everything is fine except for members/[user]/messages/view/[#]/ page where the member views their messages. That tab still shows “Messages” instead of “Mail.” Below is the function that I added to bp_custom.php.
function sb_custom_messages_menu_tabs(){
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_user() && bp_user_has_access() ) {
$count = messages_get_unread_count( bp_displayed_user_id() );
$class = ( 0 === $count ) ? ‘no-count’ : ‘count’;
$bp->bp_nav[‘messages’][‘name’] = sprintf( __( ‘Mail<span class=”%s”>%s</span>’, ‘buddypress’ ), esc_attr( $class ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );
}
}
add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘sb_custom_messages_menu_tabs’, 201);
Any reason why this would not work for the page where members view their messages?
I have the wpmu site , in which i install buddypress 2.2.0, i create a copy of page.php named buddypress.php, when i try to access page members/admin, i didn’t found any content from the_content() function. same problem arise on members and other pages also. my theme also has the_content() function. please help me in that issue.
@danbp Thanks! That helped me move to ‘display_comments’ => ‘stream’ without touching the buddypress core files! 🙂
But that is not what I meant. This is going to be a lengthy reply. So, please bear with me.
Chronology of events:
1 Jan – Status update of Member A
2 Jan – Status update of Member B
3 Jan – Comment on Status update of Member A.
Default behaviour — SWA appears as:
– Status update of Member B of 2 Jan
– Status update of Member A of 1 Jan
– Comment of Jan 3 on Status update of Member A of Jan 1
Modified SWA With your suggested function:
– Comment of Jan 3 on Status update of Member A
– Status update of Member B of Jan 2
– Status update of Member A of Jan 1
How I wanted it:
– Status update of Member A of Jan 1
– Comment of Jan 3 on Status update of Member A
– Status update of Member B of Jan 2
Any way to get this?
By the way, on a side note, in my view, that is the most logical way of a reverse chronological sequence. Whenever an activity happens about a post like a comment, that entire conversation becomes a new conversation.
Still, so so near yet so far. If you don’t mind a bit of mathematics, its lim n -> 1
Hi,
ever heard about html and CSS ?
Go to your profile, check the source code of that page and you will see how it’s made.
If you use your browser web developpers tools you can check more indeep.
If you like to learn, you can read the codex about theming.
If all this is already right for you, you can go to bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/and grab the appropriate template file, in occurence member-header.php
Ans to make this work correctly, you have to create a child-theme first.
For much more details, Codex is your friend.
The activity loop is in the template. And the file you can edit doesn’t exist.
In fact it exist, but you have to make a copy of it first, make your modification and add the copied file to your child-theme.
Be warned 😉 : if you modify the original file, the modification will be lost at the next update of BP.
The concerned file is /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php
Inside that file you will see what is explained on the codex page i indicated you previously.
All the other points are also explained on the codex.
Would be better if there was an option in the Admin section
Do you imagine the number of settings which would be necessary to fit all existing and upcoming use cases ? Even our spumoni dudes devs haven’t implemented a pizza oven yet ! 😀
Would be better if there was an option in the Admin section (BuddyPress settings) in which admins could just select Activity permissions.
hi @melle328, @milenushka
i opened a ticket about that issue. Feel free to connect to Trac and give your feedback.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6202
To login, use same credentials as on this ofrum.
Found the issue, thanks for pointing me at this way of troubleshooting. It’s the buddypress activity privacy plugin that causes the error, so I opened a support ticket at this forum now. 🙂
@djpaul If you can integrate p2 theme for buddypress maybe efforts at re-inventing wheels can be spared. p2 has a status box that can post single or multiple images as well create albums (galleries) from the status text area box (which also lets you post blog from front end)
This should be fixed in 2.2. What version of BuddyPress are you all using?
Apologies for the widget styling.
You can apply the following patch for a temporary fix until we issue 2.2.1:

Thank you to the developers for keeping Buddypress alive.
I have the same problem.

I know that’s quite a lot of plugins, but how can I reduce them, if I need the functionality? Is it possible that the problem comes from just too many plugins?
