BuddyPress.org

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

This plugin blocks any activity type you define.

The template pack approach is all but redundant now with the imminent release of BP 1.7 which will work with any theme without having to go through the template pack process – you will likely not have performed the third step where you need to match the copied BP files now in your theme to your themes standard markup structure.

So if you’re just starting to build your site please do so with the beta release of 1.7 more than likely by the time you’re ready 1.7 RC t will be ready and even if not the beta is very stable and won’t change much other than to fix any little bugs found.

BuddyPress 1.7 Beta 1

Great minds… 🙂

I think we should be de-emphasing a difference between group and site; BuddyPress supports just forums, and we add that if people want to add a tab to their groups, that they need to click a button inside bbPress.

@djpaul I have updated the forums info last Jan 3, 2013 using bbPress plugin only -> see forums component listed at https://codex.buddypress.org/component/forums/ onto the page https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ Just need to complete Group Forums only section – have some questions there.

Your site is in maintenance mode, so we can’t see it. Further more, your question is best posted to bbPress.org as this element is part of bbPress, not BuddyPress 🙂

I have the same issue and have tried a bunch of different options. Most of the plugins that do this are old and don’t really work. I tried editing some of my php but without success.

Previous may have mislead:

IN addition to Dashboard/Settings/Buddypress there ought to be

Dashboards/BuddyPress and so

Dashboard/BuddyPress/xxx is also possibl; perhaps that’s where you expected Courseware to be – but I don’t see that it’s a problem if it is at Settings/Courseware if you have access to the settings you need.

HI

The correct place for the BuddyPress settings menu is Dashboards/Setting/BuddyPress

It may have been somewhere else in much earlier versions.

I don’t know anything about Courseware but I don’t see how it could be further nested under BuddyPress in the Dashboard – I’ve never seen any WP settings file except immediately under settings.

It would be up to the builder of the Courseware plug in to decide where to put it but the options would seem to my unsophisticated eyes to be Dashboard/ or Dashboard/Settings/

Hi
Having been a newby 6 months ago and having set up a BP installation a couple of times now with a few months in between I would say that setting up Buddy Press involves following the instructions VERY carefully. BP 1.7 makes some of that easier but it is a touch more involved than installing and configuring a typical WP theme.

Your post above is not very clear about what is and isn’t working. For the more technie guys to help you you should also provide your WP version, the theme you are using and your URL.

One thing to check is if you have turned on the components that you need to do the things you want (given that BP 1.7 intstal leaves a good few of them turned off for the good reason that not everyone needs them).

Look at the topics on this page to see if one addresses your problem: https://codex.buddypress.org/version/1-7/

Sorry I can’t be more specific but a. I’m not an expert and b. you haven’t described in enough detail what you did, what you expected to see and what you aren’t seeing.

Sorry this is not too much help.

It’s good to see some marketing around buddypress 1.7 going on. 🙂

Two very important things as I am testing 1.7 but not finding

1 . How do I let a site member block another site member from posting to him/ seeing her profile and activities?

2. How do a site member makes her blog post / photo viewable to a friend/friends only?

3. How to post comment to a blog post from activity ( see oxwall.org) ?

Too Pricy for me! 😀

Hi friends, can you help me? i have an problem with avatars on my buddypress multisite. All is fina and the avatars are upload and show well on main blog of community, but whem i go to another blog created the avatar is missing.Seems like there the avatars are on wrong url

for main site if i click and see the url of the avatar is this: sitedomain/wp-content/uploads/avatars

but in the blogs created, where the avatars aren’t show sucesfull the url is: sitedomain/avatars,

so here is missing /wp-content/uploads.

What’s the problem o How i can fix this problem

I’m running actually the latest versions from both, wordpress and buddypress…

Thank’s

@mercime

Thanks. I opted for option 2. For the benefit of others, here’s what I did.

(This was a new install)

Deactivated and deleted BP and BP compatibility opting to remove files.
Removed BP folders from child theme and header-bubbypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php. Thus making a clean start.

Installed new BP beta.

Theme worked perfectly without any tweaking. So far no issues.

Many thanks.

The Buddyboss guys are good at keeping up on updates 😉

Does one enable define ( ‘bp_enable_multiblog’ true ) prior to BP installation or directly afterward, or does it not matter.

Doesn’t matter. BP is a plugin who went on a single or on a network enabled WP install. bbPress also.

Should one network enable BP & bbPress upon installation or not?

see previous answer. If your network is activated, you see under each installed plugin in your network admin the activation link who says “network activate”. Remeber also that with network activated, you have two dashboard as super-admin. One is your main blog and a single WP admin, the other one is the network admin where your BP and bbPress plugins are/should be installed.

I have followed The Definitive Guide To BuddyPress & bbPress Configuration

This (good) tutorial was updated for bbPress 2.2+ and BuddyPress 1.6.1+ But time and things changes rapidly on the WP Planet….

Actually we have 1.6.4 and we are close to 1.7 ! It’s better you read here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
Be aware with the group forum page slug and the bbP plugin forum page slug – this is really important.

Before you came accross with new questions, can you please indicate your BP/WP version and your main blog theme name & version ? Or much better, your site url ?

I would backup you db and then delete the buddypress tables. Delete the files and upload them all over.. before trying to aktivate agian.

I would also go for the stable version 😉 and not the beta version
