I am looking to do the same thing and installed WP-Members. I find that it allows me to moderate members signing up which is great, but even though I have it set to block all pages and posts from non-members they are still showing. I’m using the BP default theme.

Anyone have suggestions?

Here is the site – http://forums.saintelia.com/

I’m closing this thread it’s feeling antagonistic and unproductive now.

 

I’m not really clear on what was required here but essentially WP/BP have nothing to do with video file conversion and formats, other than attempting to render some where possible. Your reference to a plugin earlier  has little to do with BP or WP but more to do with working as an addon for an actual plugin:

This plugin adds automatic video conversion support for BuddyPress Media plugin.

 

Regardless you are asking a question in the wrong forum, the question is outside the remit   of this support forum for the core BuddyPress application.

Useless answer. I didn’t ask anything about integration, I asked only about functionality. If you don’t have anything constructive to offer, why bother saying any of the above.

I’ve been using and pushing open source since the early 90’s. It is frustrating to use software where it’s community isn’t more actively helping others with replies in the forums and so on.

It certainly appears to me that open source is on the decline, mostly because of replies like yours. Everything that’s worth anything, we’ve bought and paid for.

Not sure why but this forum keeps cutting out links / random parts of my post.
The second piece should be, for the content above to make sense:
`remove_filter( ‘bp_create_excerpt’, $length, $options );
function pnb_excerpt(){
$lenght = 500;
$options = array(
‘ending’ => __( ‘ […]’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘exact’ => false,
‘html’ => false,
‘filter_shortcodes’ => $filter_shortcodes_default);
}
add_filter( ‘bp_create_excerpt’, $length, $options );
`

Either way tried both of them.

Thanks,
Ruud

@b2550 the forums page is the tip of the iceberg.
#.URZ6pmf_34E is appended to the URL’s of many of your pages including WP’s archive pages and BP’s user profiles, and I find xxx/index.php/xxx in one of your site URL’s.

I can only conclude that you are on a Windows server and something went awry with additions to the site’s .htaccess file in addition to using the option of adding index.php to your permalinks for pretty permalinks. That is not going to work with BuddyPress.

Please deactivate BuddyPress and resolve permalinks before activating it again.

I posted a straightforward book link on Amazon.

My greatest regret is that the people working on the gamification elements of BuddyPress 1.8, nor anyone else reading the forum, benefitted from knowing that this newly published resource even exists.

Thank you for reinstating my account.

@chrisclayton How do you rename the directory? do you just rename the zip file? I am very excited to try 1.7 out. @takham did you ever figure out the forum issue?

[@mercime]

@tuxkapono @tux-kapono Your account was blocked because: a) you posted a link to site which had numerous pop-ups when I checked it out and b) the link you posted had no direct relevance to the topics where you added the link. Those of course led to the conclusion that you were a spammer along with 7-8 other spammers I blocked around that time. We try to keep the forums as clean and free from spammers and spam as much as possible.

Given that you came back to explain your side, I have unblocked “Tux Kapono” and you may resume using it to post in BP forums.

[@mercime]

@purnimagore Cool. Glad you were able to change the styles yourself 🙂 Marking this as resolved.

[@mercime]

I’d like to know how I can do this.

@voopress If you mean how to integrate WP Video Posts with BuddyPress, then what you’re asking for requires some coding time which is way beyond the scope of this forum support.

Otherwise, I see that the plugin dev had answered most of the support tickets in the plugin’s WP support forum. Do be patient or code it yourself or hire a developer to do so. Could be that the dev’s busy with another project or something else. Being sarcastic in the forums writing “Really, another dead plugin?” is not a good thing at all.

[PurnimaGore]

Hi. That worked perfectly thank you. As suggested, I went into Google Chrome, inspected the element and then changed the text in the style sheet with a single test. When that worked, I changed the other elements and they look much better.

[PurnimaGore]

Will give that a go. Thanks

[@mercime]

Given that you’re using a premium theme with customized forum templates, it would be guesswork . to help you with the styles aside from the fact that the site is private. Since you have access to the site, I suggest using Chrome where you can right click on the Topic tile and Inspect Element. The developer console would show up and highlight what you need to change.

[ssmedia]

Thanks v much @mercime – that worked 🙂

The other issue I have related to this is that topics aren’t being shown. For example, I just created a new topic in a group and it’s not shown in the forum tab: http://causepages.com/groups/testeeee/forum/

And ideas?

[PurnimaGore]

Hi. They are group member forums so don’t have a public link to them as they within private members pages. I have uploaded the images to flickr though http://flic.kr/ps/Lvkkb and hopefully that will give you an idea. Thanks for having a look

[@mercime]

@ssmedia the updated installation instructions for group and sitewide forums https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ – deactivate Discussion Forums in Settings > BuddyPress > Components

[@mercime]

I’ve read through the install guide and still can’t figure out why.

Which installation guide did you read? Our updated installation for Group and Sitewide forums notes that you disable Group Discussions in Settings > BuddyPress Components

[@mercime]

@purnimagore it would help if you provided the link to your forums, can’t find it.

[vobpler]

Still haven’t gotten anywhere. This was on a fresh install with no plugins.

I tried going into Settings -> Buddypress -> Forums and enabling the “Site wide forums” feature – what ever that does. No difference, still can’t view the forum, and it doesn’t show up in the menu.

I also tried creating a new forum from Forum -> New forum. No difference. Even tried going into Settings -> Forums and selecting the newly created forum as “Group forums parent”, which didn’t change anything either, so i’m unsure as to what it does as well.

I’ve tried using the default Buddypress theme as well as a custom one.

I’m running PHP 3.5.1.

Ideas?

[Stephen Edgar]

There is a chance it could be affecting new groups though I thought if that was the case this would have already been picked up as a bug.

The best way to determine if that is the case will be with phpMyAdmin looking at the foloowing tables:

• `wp_bp_groups`
• `wp_bp_groups_meta`
• `wp_posts` using this query `SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type LIKE forum`
• `wp_postmeta` using this query `SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = _bbp_old_forum_id`

[Erlend]

Hmmm, interesting. Could that still affect new groups made with group forums though? Because we’re experiencing this same issue with those as well.

[Stephen Edgar]

I have a feeling it may be related to Step #6, when the bbPress repair tool ‘Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships’ works only the first time it is run, subsequent attempts will not actually update bp_groups_groupmeta.id with the correct forum ID.

Details of this are in bbPress ticket #2089

If and ONLY if in your WP database tables `wp_bp_groups.slug` is an exact match with the associated post for the forum in `wp_posts.post_name` then the 2089.2.diff patch will work as long as this forum was one of the group forums originally imported.

Diving into phpMyAdmin and looking at these values and manually updating them I think will be the best solution.

[Erlend]

• WordPress 3.5.1
• BuddyPress 1.6.4
• bbPress 2.2.4

After we had converted our legacy forum to bbPress 2, I created a new forum category called “Projects” and made all the remaining group forums parent to that category. By remaining, I mean that the other group forums had now been re-purposed as ordinary forums with no group attached. I did not re-link the remaining group forums with their respective groups until a few months (and probably a BuddyPress and bbPress update in between) after the initial forum conversion.

We have a simple hierarchy. 3 main categories (Troubleshooting, Development and Projects) act as parents for all underlying forums. The ‘Projects’ category holds all old and new group forums. We followed the BP Docs to do the conversion right.

[@mercime]

@sadr WP/BP versions?  Did you create a Forum(Category) for your group forums before you converted or after? What’s the hierarchical structure of your converted group forums? How did you convert group forums to bbPress? Did you follow the instructions in BP Codex?
