BuddyPress.org

i guess you have to get the logged-in user ID

$bp->loggedin_user->id

I am using Premise (by StudioPress)

@feliperinaldi have you checked out with Premise provider re compatibility with BuddyPress? StudioPress does provide support for their premium themes/plugins.

@cpabramo know that we are all volunteers here living in different time zones.

Just checked out your site. Initial scan shows that your theme is loading up jQuery 1.7.2 when BuddyPress and Bowe’s Code are using jQuery 1.8.3

I know you mentioned that you changed themes and checked plugins already. You didn’t mention if you checked out site after changing to BP Default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress at the same time.

I think so.

@danny80 WordPress/BuddyPress versions? What theme are you using – BP Default or some other theme?

@filipmedia add the following to your theme’s style.css file

#buddypress .standard-form div.submit input {
color: #000 !important;
}

@nahin if you want to install BP in a subsite, then add the following to your wp-config.php file (at root of your WP installation)

define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );

change the number 3 above to the ID of subsite

@lradden
1. backup database and server files.

2. Change to Twenty Eleven theme and deactivate BuddyPress.

3. Now re-activate BuddyPress. You should see the Installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ Follow instructions and select the BP Default theme in panel which shows up during this process.

4. Continue on to Configuring Components codex.buddypress.org/legacy/configuring-components-v1-5/

5. Check your BP pages in the front end.

6. If all is working as expected, then backup DB again.

7. Upgrade to latest WordPress and BuddyPress versions.

Not sure if anyone else still needs the ability to combine @mentions with the personal activity stream. I took the guidance of @mattamatic with an alteration to get it working with BP 1.7 (beta 2, in my case).

I opened up `buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-classes.php`, found `lines 620-624` (part of the get_filter_sql function), and changed it from:

`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;
}`

To:

`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
$search_terms = ‘@’.bp_core_get_username($user_id);
$user_sql.= “OR ( a.content LIKE ‘%%”.like_escape($search_terms).”%%’ )”;
// END Also include @Mentions in User Stream
if ( !empty( $user_sql ) )
$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;
}`

Works for me on BuddyPress 1.7-beta2 (wish there was a non-hacked way to combine multiple scopes for the activity stream). Also, I should mention that you really only need to add the parts between the START/END comments, but I included the rest for context.

Thanks again @mattamatic!

I’m having the exactly same problem. Currently trying to install buddy press on a sub domain. It’s there (as in, it shows a blog with the buddy press theme). The only place I see any buddypress control is in network admin dashboard > settings > buddy press. I don’t see any buddy press controls on my subdomain dashboard, despite changing the code in the bp-custom.php file and the wp-config.php file.

Help? I’m a real beginner at coding and have no idea where to go from here.

NB. I have also, on this fresh install, tried allowing search engines to crawl (via Settings – BuddyPress – Reading… Search Engine Visibility… Discourage search engines from indexing this site”, untick) as suggested elsewhere… http://www.social-ink.net/blog/buddypress-activity-stream-no-blog-posts-showing#comment-4833

there is an js error on one of the image. I gues one of the static pictures at the right of the slider. FF doesn’t see it, but IE 9 does.

Both browser says there is an error, but i’m unaible to locate it. Image corrupt or truncated: http://<unknow&gt;.com

Check also the slider settings for any auto-resize value and deactivate it. Such errors are also mainly due to image that are not correctly built by a software (photoshop, etc)

Deactivate all your plugins and use only WP, BP, your slider and bp-default and see if it works.
Reset also your permalinks (just by saving again the settings).

Also, be aware that WP polls 2.3 is only given to be used up to WP 3.3

And if you use BP 1.7b2, use bbPress 2.3b2 it’s much better.
