edit: i looked at groupblog, but it is not what i’m wanting to do, i just want a simple page for each activity my project organise where i can add some of the features of BP.

using a WP page i can easily create links to pages like members, activity, profile, etc. really thee only important thing is that it needs to have the groups forum in the homepage somehow.

if there is a way add a page like this (with the group forums) to the BP area that would also work out great.

@kakilo, I posted 3 different version of that code in the forum and it is still working. It is for member-header and not members-loop but there is nothing stopping you from making it work with
members-loop just pay attention to the code.

I still have that coding working in my member .

@yoshimitsu1234 Please always check the BP codex for matters like this.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

The bundled cut down version of bbPress that shipped with BP for groups was removed a few versions back, if you have legacy forums in use then it’s best to update things to use bbPress 2.* The guide above explains how to proceed.

[yoshimitsu1234]

Also built in buddypress forums says it jas been retired. So should i use both buddypress and Bbpress simultaneously? Will it cause any issues? As buddypress already contains Bbpress components is it necessary to install Bbpress along with buddypress?

[shanebp]

It is possible.
I’m not aware of a plugin for that.
So it will require custom code.

[modemlooper]

yes, step through each upgrade but current BP you may need to install bbPress and then convert forums

[modemlooper]

EEK!

There have been many changes between these versions. Did you by chance backup your database before upgrade? You need to do an incremental upgrade. Also, current BP doesn’t use it’s own forum anymore and you have to install bbPress separately.

[Hugo Ashmore]

BP no longer carries the cut down version of bbPress, to provide group forums you install standalone bbPress plugin. Please use the BP codex as your documentation source, avoid help videos we’re hearing altogether too much about vague videos that are floating around.

@pmuktan for importing your Mingle Forums to bbPress Forums (which BuddyPress uses), check out how to do so at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/

You’d find support for Mingle importer at https://bbpress.org/forums/
Log in using WP username and password. Good luck.

@shubh14 ,

@mercime is right. It could be a plugin conflict.

I tried the same thing on my local site and works completely fine.

You can try it by deactivating all other plugins and switching to default wordpress themes. If still the problem persists than you should contact the support forum @ https://rtcamp.com/support/forum/rtmedia/

Friendships need to be accepted by both parties. It could be easier for you to make all the bands ‘groups’. That way bands could invite members to become a fan and when the groups are open to accept every members, any member can become a fan with 1 click.

Next to that, fans can see other fans of the same band and become friends with each other and every band could have their own forum.

Maybe an option for you?

[flexclique]

Well, I’m making progress…

I installed the plugin and now the code displays on the page… not executed, but just as it was typed. So it’s similar to putting bat ticks around it in this forum. I even checked the box that says allow execution of php in the plugin’s settings.

[Matt McFarland]

Yes this is very easy to do.

Adding the featured image of a wordpress post into a buddypress activity stream can be done by doing one of the following. I’d like to add that I had trouble finding out how to do this at first and it took a lot of searching. The first copypasta I have for you was actually found on these very forums. However, due to so many people asking this question (and not getting answers) it is buried and very difficult to find. So without further ado please enjoy…

You can either edit the activity page activity/entry.php or just copy paste the following function into your functions.php file.

function icondeposit_bp_activity_entry_meta() {
 
    if ( bp_get_activity_object_name() == 'blogs' && bp_get_activity_type() == 'new_blog_post' ) {?>
        <?php
        global $wpdb, $post, $bp;
        $theimg = wp_get_attachment_image_src(  get_post_thumbnail_id( bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id() ) );
        ?>
        <img src="<?php echo $theimg[0]; ?>" >
 
    <?php }
 
}
add_action('bp_activity_excerpt_append_text', 'icondeposit_bp_activity_entry_meta');

If you want further customization, I recommend editing activity/entry.php

Function Warnings :

If you choose to remove a menu item, be sure to update this function. If you have a menu item in this function but not on your site you will notice a gap where the menu item would go.

ex: Suppose you disable the groups option and no longer have the group menu item…Your menu will look something like the following…
profile | activity | friends | | forum | settings
——————————————————————————————–
If you add a menu item that is not in this function, it will go into its default position, essentially nudging the item that you have set to be in that position over by one position.

ex: You add a blog option without updating this function. Lets assume the blog menu item defaults to position 30 so that is where it will go …Your menu would appear something like the following …
profile | activity | friends | blog | groups | forum | settings

[Cassey’s Designs]

Hi,

I am not sure about how many users buddypress can handle, I doubt they have any built in restrictions. You will need to find out your host limitations rather than the plugins.

To switch your menu options you will need to add the following php function to your child-theme’s function.php file…

function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav[‘profile’][‘position’] = 60;
$bp->bp_nav[‘activity’][‘position’] = 50;
$bp->bp_nav[‘friends’][‘position’] = 40;
$bp->bp_nav[‘groups’][‘position’] = 30;
$bp->bp_nav[‘settings’][‘position’] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav[‘forum’][‘position’] = 20;
}
add_action(‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );
?>

*Note : The increments of 10 determine the position order of the menu item. The higher numbers are to the left and read lowering to the right.

Hope this helps 🙂

@mayur-hotkar you now have three threads running on the same question, please don’t open multiple threads, I’m closing this one in favour of the duplicate, I shall also close the one I responded on as I assume you digested that and ran a few tests to establish where the issue lies and read the forum stickies

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/avtar/

[Hugo Ashmore]

If you want help then you will need to be a lot more descriptive of the issue I suggest you read all the sticky posts to understand how to form a question that can be responded to and also in preparation do a search on forum archive topics to see if there are any old topics that may help.

fwiw avatars or images/media not uploading are generally a server issue with directory/file owner/ group settings or permissions.

OK, here’s a followup on my trying to find the source of the automated registrations.

— I disabled bbPress on the network plugins page.
— I renamed the following directories:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums
wp-content/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments
— enable registrations from the network admin settings

And… the automatic registrations CONTINUE.

— disable registrations (network admin) and the automatic reg stops

SO, it’s beginning to look like it is not bbPress. PLEASE ADVISE:

• Do you agree? Or is there some other possibility that will implicate bbPress?
• What other possibilities are there for by-passing registration protocols?

[faishal]

@andriusl you can report this issue on BuddyPress-media (rtmedia) support form -> here

Regarding magnific, we will update it to latest version which is (0.9.9) in next week release. You can track this issue -> here

[ride2719]

Here’s a followup on my progress in stopping the automated registrations. It turns out that my side issue (see my first post) was very important. I found a plugin called “unconfirmed” that gives you limited access to the user records with unconfirmed emails, including the ability to delete them. I had 7100 unconfirmed registrations. The plugin is not fully implemented, so I had to delete them about 20 at a time. (I figured I was not likely to find anything better, so I bit the bullet and deleted 300 groups of records.) Once deleted, the registrations stopped.

So here’s the analysis: there were thousands of pending registrations. For whatever reason, the automaton that started the registration process either could not respond to the email, or was designed to respond to the emails slowly.

So, now I have some time to diagnose the solution to the problem without the fear of my data base being flooded with crap.

Next I’ll try to disable bbPress to see if it’s the problem, but I really don’t want to delete it as I already have several forums configured. I’ll see if I can disable it without deleting it and then turn registrations back on at the network admin level to see if they start up again.

[shanebp]

>Forums are enabled (it’s a primary purpose for the site)

Understood, but try deactivating bbPress.
If the spam regs stop, you know it’s a bbPress issue and you can post a bug report on their site.

If they don’t stop, at least you know it’s not bbPress.

[johnnymestizo]

It looks like bbpress migrates the old group forums and indexing an empty shell forum for each old group forum.

Then it adds a correct version to each buddypress group…

Not sure if that was meant to happen or not.

I will work with that. If anyone else has issues please let me know.

Thanks @palmdoc

Import from Buddypress Legacy Group forums

[johnnymestizo]

What the….

If I visit my-site dot com / community / forum I get a wholee lot of empty forums.

If I create a new page with the short code [bbp-topic-index] life is good again?

Bizarre.
