BuddyPress.org

@b2550 the forums page is the tip of the iceberg.
#.URZ6pmf_34E is appended to the URL’s of many of your pages including WP’s archive pages and BP’s user profiles, and I find xxx/index.php/xxx in one of your site URL’s.

I can only conclude that you are on a Windows server and something went awry with additions to the site’s .htaccess file in addition to using the option of adding index.php to your permalinks for pretty permalinks. That is not going to work with BuddyPress.

Please deactivate BuddyPress and resolve permalinks before activating it again.

I posted a straightforward book link on Amazon.

My greatest regret is that the people working on the gamification elements of BuddyPress 1.8, nor anyone else reading the forum, benefitted from knowing that this newly published resource even exists.

Thank you for reinstating my account.

Well you have provided no code to study nor a link to the problem so it’s hard to help you really, could endlessly speculate but that’s not very productive.

All themes? Doubt that but then..

Deactivate all plugins  just run WP then run through the default themes, add back in BuddyPress, add back in plugins, basic troubleshooting i.e try to establish at point the issue occurs and what if any condition exists such as a specific plugin etc.

nevermind, I got it (newb status)

@chrisclayton How do you rename the directory? do you just rename the zip file? I am very excited to try 1.7 out. @takham did you ever figure out the forum issue?

small update still no final resolution as of yet but they did reiterate that this issue is not normal so they wouldn’t be holding us to the inflated number in terms of billing so that’s definitely good and i do feel somewhat safer in recommending them. i would say that given the fact that i am personally 2 for 2 at this point i would definitely inform a client of the possibility prior to recommending them. i would say they have been very attentive in pretty much every support situation i have had so personally i have faith at this point at least they will turn out to be as i have suspected almost from the beginning the sort of ultimate managed hosting environment at least as it pertains to wordpress.

I’d like to know how I can do this.

@voopress If you mean how to integrate WP Video Posts with BuddyPress, then what you’re asking for requires some coding time which is way beyond the scope of this forum support.

Otherwise, I see that the plugin dev had answered most of the support tickets in the plugin’s WP support forum. Do be patient or code it yourself or hire a developer to do so. Could be that the dev’s busy with another project or something else. Being sarcastic in the forums writing “Really, another dead plugin?” is not a good thing at all.

Thats swell to hear cos their marketing is formidable.

I haven’t experienced the bot / inflated visitor count issue on WP Engine, but I’ll keep an eye out for it. I currently have 2 large sites hosted there. I find WP Engine good for clients who don’t have much in house IT savvy.

If you’re looking to support a smaller shop and get more personalized support, I’ve enjoyed doing business with The Temple Host. I email them at support at thetemplehost dot com with the specs of the client project I’m working on and they always set me up with just the right amount of hosting. Prices don’t ballon each year. Great uptime. So refreshing. Heard about them through a friend. I think word of mouth might be their thing because I don’t understand how they offer such great hosting and support so cheap except for maybe the fact that they don’t have unnecessary bells and whistles on their own website hosting panel. It all works and is easy to navigate, but it’s not cPanel, they don’t offer a knowledge base, beginner tutorials, etc. They just offer solid hosting and support.

Hope that helps.

Hi George,

I haven’t used it, but I’ve heard of this premium plugin that supposedly integrates with BuddyPress: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/fundraising/

Charise

I wonder if any one has done anything with the courseware module with the 1.7 testing yet.

Thanks,

@ssmedia Cool. Marking this as resolved.

@theseoguy At this point I would backup database then deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress, change to Twenty Twelve and check if users with Admin access access the default Admin page. Then activate the plugins (BuddyPress and other BP plugins last) a batch at a time to determine which one/s could be causing the permissions error.

@ssmedia it might be a theme issue. Change to BP Default theme and check if issue is corrected.

@ssmedia the updated installation instructions for group and sitewide forums https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ – deactivate Discussion Forums in Settings > BuddyPress > Components

I know this is an old thread, but still ranks high in Google, so this might be of interest to some people. We have written a BuddyPress plugin for searching Extended Profile data and managing listings and reports.

WP BuddyPress Advanced User Search Plugin

All feedback welcome

I’ve read through the install guide and still can’t figure out why.

Which installation guide did you read? Our updated installation for Group and Sitewide forums notes that you disable Group Discussions in Settings > BuddyPress Components
