🙂 supposition is not reality.

Hi @lunchgirl,

it seems you are on a hosted WP service. Did you install your site with any integrated WP installer ?

If yes, i would recommend you to not use this service and install your WP via FTP. SO you’re sure to have a complete and latest WP. You currently on 3.4.2…

Your BP regisrer page leads to a free cooking book. That’s well, but /register/ is a path, not a book ! 😉
Also, have you set a page from within BP settings ?

Read the codex to learn how to install correctly WP+BP before using a special template as “marketplace”. Don’t know if this one is ready to use with BP anyway.

Nice tutorial!. Nice tips to use. Spamming is bad for business and buddypress is not doing anything to stop it. I own a buddypress site and followed this tips here

This work like a charm. No spam registration

Members only appear in BuddyPress content when they’ve logged in to the site (at least once!).

Hi @sbla

On the groups pages (where the styling isn’t correct) it seems to still have in the ‘home’ class in your body tags (which has the transparent background)
`body class=”single-item groups group-home home custom-background”
`

So it’s calling this CSS which you don’t want!
`
.home #wrapper {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
margin: 20px auto 20px auto;
padding: 0;
}
`

Where as the page that it is correctly styling hasn’t got “home” in the body classes.

`body class=”directory activity custom-background”`

How are you currently adding the ‘home’ class to body?

`function add_home_class($classes) {
if (is_front_page()) {
$classes[] = “home”
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter(‘body_class’, ‘add_home_class’);`

@masonjames Thanks for sharing. Curious. What version of BP and WP are you using?
Using BP Default theme in one multisite and a child theme of BP default in another, I go to Blogs Directory page example.com/blogs/ and click on the “Create a Site” button which goes to example.com/blogs/create/ since my default slug for the Blogs page is blogs. From wp-admin, creating a new site goes to example.com/wp-admin/network/site-new.php

Can you create a ticket over at http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org? I can confirm this isn’t working as intended in some cases.

Yeah; pretty sad loss. Maybe @modemlooper himself can chime in?

Note: I ran into this today and the link in the dashboard to create a new site from ‘My Sites’ is incorrect (that’s old news).

Your “create site” link will be whatever slug you have for “site activity” in BuddyPress settings + the word “create”

So if you used the default page it’ll look like this:
http://domain.com/site-activity/create

Hope this helps others who come along. Thanks!

WP 3.5 BP 1.6.2 Testing this plugin on local installs. first a single site with bp default theme. Flags show up correctly everywhere, backend settings show up —– but clicking on flags does nothing on my set-up.

Hopefully the developer will come back to this or a bp angel will adopt it. Surely a vital component of any social network/forum ???

Hi JP,

You’re right, that it’s all a bit confusing right now. It sounds like some part of the update script didn’t run, as it would normally remove the duplicate roles.

Having multiple roles is a bbPress specific feature, that BuddyPress will likely adopt to some small extent in 2013. The basic goal is to *not* have 1 dropdown with a bunch of roles in it, restricting users to having 1 set of capabilities. Since no site is the same, and no user will always have all/some/none caps, being able to have multiple roles is pretty critical.

In BuddyPress, it’s less-so, because we assume all users can do all things in BuddyPress, and have purpose built restrictions in place for super administrators.

You should be able to safely remove the duplicate and bbPress roles with some calls to remove_role(). bbPress 2.x adds its roles dynamically at run-time, and only on the site it’s activated on. Visiting the Users list in wp-admin for that site should show you the columns you describe.

hi,

q1) https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/

q2) The promotionnal stuff is generally in the footer ! Different methods are explained here: http://wpmu.org/daily-tip-2-easy-ways-to-remove-the-powered-by-wordpress-link/

If you want linking into BuddyPress you have several options ranging from the PollDaddy (not so much integration out of the box) through to BuddyPress links and other plugins. It all depends on ‘what’ you want the voting / polling to be linked to and how you want it to work really.

hi @brianws,

not a official plugin but BuddyPress Polls exist here:

New Plugin – BuddyPress Polls

Hi @hindicell

first of all create a child theme for Frisco.

And use conditionnal tags to show/hide template parts intended for logged in or out users.

Something like

<code> if ( is_user_logged_in()  ) :

the stuff to show to logged in users

endif;</code>

and/or

<code> if ( ! is_user_logged_in()  ) :

the stuff to show to logged  out users

endif;</code>

But before going on a overcomplicated work, you would prefer a private BP site ? If so read here:
