BuddyPress.org

Do they end up in the spam / junk / trash folder?
Have you tried the suggestions in BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications) on the following page: https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/ ?

hi,

explained on Codex:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

oops ! 😀 didn’t notice this detail here.

hi @michael4fm,

read here: http://alex.leonard.ie/2012/05/24/wordpress-admin-area-favicon/

Sorry @mercime (and, yes, I’ve already read through the ticket in trac, along with the documentation, etc.), but Administrator elevated Moderators from within a community definitely do not belong in there messing around with Group naming structures and descriptions. They are there to merely moderate the internal content and behavior within the Groups/Forums themselves (like I need to tell you that, being that you are yourself a Moderator here on BuddyPress – and a hell of a good one at that if you don’t mind me saying so!), and that’s it.

With this proposed change, will newly elevated Group Moderators then also be able to delete and/or upload Group avatars once given these new permissions, or even change the Groups privacy settings at will? Not a good “fix” at all if you ask me, no matter what the existing documentation and so forth has to say about it.

I believe that the real error here occurred at some point in time within the direction of the documentation if anywhere, and that is actually what needs to be fixed here, and not with keeping on going down a road where the sign with the arrow pointing one on where to safely go somehow got turned around at some point and is actually now pointing off over the cliff, right?

Hugo ( @hnla) has it absolutely right here with his take on this proposed change within the trac ticket located at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4737

If you look at our own Group structure within our currently-being-developed site at https://PhysicalActivity.com (which I’d personally registered all the way back in December 1999) you’ll see that we’ve got over 200 meticulously generated Groups, and with thousands more to come, that we definitely do not want members who have been elevated to Moderators digging in and messing around with when it comes to Group names and descriptions, among other things, and I’m guessing a lot of other folks (site Administrators) would feel the exact same way about it as well. Isn’t it enough that Moderators can already pretty much clear out the entire contents of a Group/Forum?

We do not allow our members to create their own Groups, and that is definitely by design. It would certainly create havoc and chaos if we then, eventually, had 100’s of Moderators running wild within our set Group naming structures, descriptions and so forth, especially with thousands upon thousands of Groups to have to keep track of in the future.

When we’re done here, we’re definitely going to be one of the bigger sites making use of the WordPress/Multisite/BuddyPress platform so, needless to say, and like a lot of other folks here too, we’ve got a lot of time, effort and money invested in helping to properly see this whole thing (the ultimate development and direction of BuddyPress) through as well, even if our contributions and/or opinions are just brushed to the side at times.

We’ll definitely be stripping this update out of the code when (if) it drops with, what looks to be from @djpaul, 1.6.3 in the next several days or so here.

If anything, this sounds more like an options type of thing (“Allow Moderators to Change Group Name and Description” – “Do Not Allow Moderators to Change Group Name and Description”), or even plugin territory for the few people who would actually get good use out of something as reckless as this.

All of you guys and gals working on BuddyPress with your time, efforts and skills are absolutely fabulous (and I know, because I’ve been working with and dabbling in BuddyPress since its inception when Andy Peatling was still running the show, and I’ve been working with WordPress since its beginnings as well, even going so far as to register domain names like WordBlog.com, CustomerBlog.com, NoteBlog.com and so forth to use in conjunction with it way back in 2003/2004), so please don’t take this as anything more than me just tossing a little dirt (with a pinch of love) into the gears in the hopes of getting people to stop and take a second, or even third, look into a quick and hastily made change that just shouldn’t be made in the first place.

You know what they say about fixing something that isn’t broken…

Thanks for lending an ear or two to me here. Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

Kyle

ok thanks for the info sounds somewhat familiar although i cannot say without doubt that it is their service to blame for my issue at this point :/

@ubernaut,
My issue had to do with CAPTCHAs not loading properly. We went back and forth for a week before they finally fixed something on their end to make it work properly.

I gathered that they lock down write permissions on the server, and the settings were set incorrectly on my account. Like I said, they ultimately fixed the problem, but I was underwhelmed by their support in the sense that, initially, they said it was my fault when, in fact, it was theirs.

@faeronsayn your issues are related to your theme Mingle/Salutation. Google for the first part of your fatal error https://www.google.com/search?q=Call+to+undefined+function+vt_resize&ie=utf-8

Change to bp-default theme and see if the issue is resolved.

@saukgp which page exactly? Are you referring to the single post page or archive page or elsewhere?

it dosent looks neat

Could you like to be more specific as to how “it doesn’t look neat”? Does it look messy in all browsers? Btw, which browser are you using?

@doncgarner as Hugo mentioned above, we have a list of walkthroughs aka “template-packed” WordPress in the Codex. Here’s the link for the Continuum theme before http://wp.me/p1I84P-36

@buddies we were supposed to continue the assistance in the WPorg forums because this is not BuddyPress-related at all. Posting in both forums is not only confusing but does not lead to a solution. I’m closing this topic and we’ll continue this at WPorg.

@seriousdon you’d need another forward slash in front of your comment before the code like so http://pastebin.com/HSpJNLyV

In order to place the dynamic profile link at the beginning of the menu change this following line from
$menu = $menu . $profilelink;
to
$menu = $profilelink . $menu;

@sapna1809 as noted in the trac ticket I linked to above it’s being considered for BP 1.6.3
Please be patient. Thanks.

@latinoleader where is the code for your page.php file?

(unless you’re using “blogs” as the slug for “Site Activity” possibly… haven’t tested that).

@masonjames Yes, I’ve always used blogs as the slug in all my installations so never had that issue, thank goodness. Thank you for the clarification and for posting the trac ticket 🙂

Have great weekend!

I have to confirm exactly that issue with WP 3.5 Multi Site, BP 1.6.2, bbP 2.2.3.

Only group forums are affected, not sitewide forums.

Also, I don’t have the bbPress Settings -> Theme Packages options as shown in https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ ?  So I’m using the BuddyPress Default theme.

Only advice I found so far: “Disable BuddyPress’s Forums component” – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/version-2-2-fatal-error-creating-topic/ …

If it is a BuddyPress bug, or if there’s something WP Engine needs from us, they know we’re ready and available to ping ideas off of. They’re good folks, and I’ve met several of the guys in person on multiple occasions.

If you can, update in this topic whatever happens, and we’ll make whatever changes we need to on our end.

If it gets to the point where WP Engine can’t understand what BuddyPress is doing, please let them know — or any other web host, actually — we’re happy to work with them on any problems; paul@buddypress.org.

This is probably just a bug(s) in BuddyPress rather than the host; hopefully someone will be able to spend some time investigating soon.

hi curious about your situation @themightymo i also have been experiencing a rather odd bug of my own since we switched to wp engine:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/my-join-group-button-is-acting-funny/

i have found them to be very knowledgable over there and the service itself seems to be beyond comparison for wordpress hosting.
