BuddyPress.org

I have the same problem: with buddypress & nginx, a 404 error occurs in groups/create/step/group-avatar/

Hi,

not exactly a response but see this awsome tutorial for bbPress 2.2 and BP 1.6.2 setup.

http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/

@imath provided another solution for single or multisite here 2 days ago after the same question on bp-fr.net

Hi,

don’t try to prevent spammers. They already know how WP is working. 😀

So you have many unconfirmed subscriber anyway. In such case, you could resend the activation email or delete the unconfirmed account. A small plugin do this very easely:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/

I use it regularly on my 1.6.2 network without problems. 😉

Hi,

you haven’t to rename it ! bbPress is part of buddypress as the integrated group-forum software and as is, use the BP theme or child theme.

bbPress themes are here: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei

If you want to use bbPress separatly as standalone forum, you have to activate the bbPress plugin. The forum activation lets you choose for such an install. (group-forum and/or separate forum) and install the plugin automatically.

The buddypress theme (bp-default) sits in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default

WP themes are in wp-content/themes/

If you use any other theme, it must be placed in the same directory like this:

wp-content/themes/your-theme

or

wp-content/themes/your-child-theme

If you need help, we need to see where and how you’ve put the code. Please tell us where you’ve put the bp-custom.php file, and if you can, share a copy of the contents of that file on pastebin.com

> once they find out that they have to activate their accounts etc then they just don’t bother any more

Unfortunately, time has shown this not to be true; it certainly lowers the amount of spam accounts, which is why activation is on by default. Spammers are either automated or just won’t bother to read any notices you show them.

I thought we fixed this in a previous release, but maybe not fully. Please submit a bug report on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org, and you can use your name/password from this site. Thanks

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4629 might be of interest, too!

I’ve happened to done some work on this for BuddyPress 1.7. See the commits and discussion on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4661

You’ll have to wait for 1.7 for this to work. I can’t guarantee that making those changes on a 1.6 install will work or be safe: YMMV.

This is very much a server configuration question, and there’s probably not many people on this forum that know enough to offer meaningful advice (I certainly don’t). If you’re on a Linode 512, there just mightn’t be enough power on your server, especially if you are running other services, too (e.g. MySQL).

Hi Everyone,

Here is the solution on half part of the saving custom value in the user meta table:

/* Add sign-up field to BuddyPress sign-up array */

function bp_custom_user_signup_field( $usermeta ) {
$usermeta[‘expertise’] = $_POST[‘expertise’];
return $usermeta;
}

add_filter( ‘bp_signup_usermeta’, ‘bp_custom_user_signup_field’ );

/* Add field_name from sign-up to usermeta on activation */
function setMeta($user_id, $password, $meta)
{
global $wpdb;
$signup_tbl = $wpdb->prefix.”signups”;
$users_tbl = $wpdb->prefix.”users”;

//Query to get the custom field store in the signup table here I have set it to expertise
$metadata = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT meta FROM “.$signup_tbl.” WHERE user_login=(SELECT user_login FROM $users_tbl WHERE ID=”.$user_id.”)”);

$user_exprts = unserialize($metadata);
update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘expertise’, $user_exprts[‘expertise’] );
}
add_action( ‘wpmu_activate_user’, ‘setMeta’, 10, 3);

It’s still broken

@prabhat1205 do stop posting in year-old topics. Closing this.

@prabhat1205 please do not post in year-old topics. Closing this.

What exactly do you mean “get a page in my menu”? Do you mean links in your menu instead? If you mean the latter, then check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what WPMS with BP gives me so figured I’d ask here.

Create a Network, make sure that user and blog creation is enabled in network options and test that you can indeed create subsites. When all is in working order with your WPMS install, you can then install and activate BuddyPress.

One other thing that has been perplexing me is trying to find information showing how a user could either set up their blog when registering or, be able to set up their blog later on if they have already become a registered user.

If you allow user account and blog creation as I mentioned above, then the default registration will show fields for blog(subsite) creation. If you want your users to be able to create a blog only after registration, then you remove the blog creation test/fields in the register.php file. The Create a Blog link will show up in the Blogs Directory page for logged in users.
