BuddyPress.org

@harvey1233 what site are you referring to as Surf Cannon? You posted http://justinharvey.com/ as site URI in your other post.

installed a few widgets and now the ads are stuck on my site

Again, BuddyPress does not add those pop-up ad widgets to anyone’s site nor is BuddyPress responsible for such.

The ads pop up from text within my web page.

URI to page with pop up?

Ah that would work

Sure it would and you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

Not a BuddyPress-related question 🙂 But go search via Google and one of the results -> http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/

Hi all and thanks for all the info 🙂

I’m looking aswell for a plugin that automatically fill in the Buddypress users’ X-Profile data from the uers’ Facebook profiles.

I have tried the free version of https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/ but it has a serious problem. If I login with my FB account a few times, this plugin create a new user every time in the wp_users table. I don’t know if the premium version of this plugin fix this problem, so if any of you have tested it, I would be very thankful for your comments 🙂

yes it’s weird ! Did you asked on the bbPress forum ?
The doc is relatively poor, but you can read here:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp_has_forum_topics-site-wide-vs-groups-question/

http://etivite.com/api-hooks/bbpress/component/bbp-topic/

what worked for me was to copy the source code of my forum page and slap in into the home page

@harvey1233 If you want your forum index page as your home page:
1. Create a new empty Page named “Blog” or “News” or whatever you want to represent as the list of new Posts in your site.
2. Go to wp-admin – Settings > Reading – Front Page Displays > Choose Static Page.
3. For Front Page – select the name of your Forums page
4. For Posts Page – select the name you set in #1 above.
5. Click on “Save Changes” button on the same panel.

Hi @purplemonkeyking you only have to disable the users’ registration option here: http://example.com/wp-admin/network/settings.php

Then, try to connect with the plugin you’re using and done. I’m using the same plugin and it works for me 😉

By the way, are you using the premium version of https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/ it’s because I need the premium BP features and I would like to know other people opinion before to buy it.

Thanks!

I found this tips and guide.

Kill and remove buddypress spam registration

It works perfectly

@panashe What theme are you usuing? Site uri?

@panashe add/remove styles in your theme’s style.css file. Depends on your theme.

@panashe Something’s getting lost in translation or it might just be semantics, but what exactly do you mean by “dashboard”? Examples? Thanks.

Where did you find the plugin?

Going to https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-privacy/ says it’s no longer there. The other reference to it here it gone too http://simplercomputing.net/2010/03/18/simple-buddypress-profile-privacy/

Please know that BuddyPress does not include any advertisements. It looks more like you’ve been hacked by the tone of your rant. Surf Cannon is the link to what? Do give a specific site uri.

@ubernaut the fix was in BP Default’s functions.php file. Did you check if it was corrected in BP Default theme? For that matter, did you try to apply the same fix in the functions.php file of Reviewit theme and see if issue is resolved with the fix?

and i only can access the main forum from the side bar

Actually, you have your sitewide forum index page at http://justinharvey.com/F/

Also i am trying to add CSS to My pages and cant figure it out. any tips?

One usually adds the styles to your theme’s style.css file. However, since you’re using the BP Default theme, any modifications made to the style.css file will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress. It would be better if you created a child theme of the BP Default theme and add styles to that child theme’s style.css file. Or use a WordPress theme and install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

@mrk-1 Current BuddyPress tables with xxx_bp_xxx can be seen at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#bbpress-forums-tables-in-database
(xxx_bb_xxx tables are not included, those are for bbPress Group Forums)

Please change to BP Default theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and check if issues are corrected.

Haven’t seen this before. Is this single or multisite WP? Where are you hosted? Have you tried re-uploading BuddyPress via FTP/FileManager/etc?
