Does anyone else see my forum posts as being by “Deleted User”? That is weird!

@djduckworth please post once. Closing this duplicate of https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-moderation/forum/topic/integrating-wpmu-qa-with-buddypress-moderation-1/

[@mercime]

@manswab As mentioned above, based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your wallow theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your wallow theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.

Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`

`

with the following:
`

 

<div id=”post-“>

`

Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `

…

` or `

..

` to
`

// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //

`
AND move title to above `

`. Just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.

Save files.

Hi,

i had a similar problem on a multisite install: after update from 1.5.6 to 1.6, no access to profiles, topics and some plugins. All links going nowhere else as my homepage
I searched in the recent tickets and found a solution here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4415
By commenting the (very old) NOBLOGREDIRECT line in wp-config, my url’s where back

On a single install, it maybe possible to add this filter
`add_filter( ‘bp_do_redirect_canonical’, ‘__return_false’ );`

These solution was already given by @boonebgorges on this forum a few days back i guess

[miguelcortereal]

Never mind just got it.

SeoPress plugin from Themekraft, with wonderful options to take care from titles and meta descriptions tailored for BuddyPress was causing this.

Working fine now.

By the way any advice on an alternative to handle SEO meta descriptions for BuddyPress ?

[juanmaguerrero]

Hi, @modemlooper I researched a lot and there’s no one who did this, maybe you heard of myself since I wrote a kind-of-tutorial here at the forums explaining how to achieve this, but I would like to make a plugin with it

I have all the work done, you can see a working demo here (scroll down to see it in action) http://www.horizontea.com/ the thing is I do not want the “Load More” button to appear since the user won’t need it and the appended items will have problems with the way that the new instances of the button are created…

I just want to know how some plugins code manages to “rewrite” some theme parts from backend, not frontend, if such a thing is even possible. For example I want to replace as explained in https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/auto-load-more-activity-stream-items-when-scroll-reaches-the-bottom-of-the-page/ (I have poolished and improved the code now loads only when needed and included throttling functionality).

If it cannot be done it will keep being just a tutorial and never a plugin, sadly

[smartmwp]

Resolved – here are the steps to resolve it:
1. Uninstall bbpress plugin,
2. Go to Buddypress->Settings->Pages and set the Group forums page to Forums (with “forums” slug)
3. Go to Buddypress->Settings->Forums and press the button “Install Site wide forums”. This would install bbpress plugin.
4. Once Installed and activated, you will be redirected to installed plugins page so again go back to Buddypress->Settings->Pages and set Group Forums page to a new page “Group-Forums”.
That should do it. at least this worked for me…

[frank tredici]

all three questions (a) – (c) simply related to the same issue @mercime.

I got a warning so do I really need to update the forums anyway? So what if I don’t? My question about being concerned was not to get feedback from my Sys Admin (which I am the S.A. for the site and server). WP warned me — so do I need to be concerned? The warning was cryptic with respect to WordPress/BuddyPress, not the server.

An my manual update question was this — if the automated WP routine can’t update the forums, is there a manual workaround.

[@mercime]

@frank13 my answer (a) was to your question (a) and so forth. So you should contact your webhost about how to resolve the SSL certificate error

(b) I will presume you’re posting about updating the bbPress plugin if there was a nag to update it since Group Forums get automatically updated with the BuddyPress upgrade to 1.6

(c) You asked about a manual way of updating the forums (bbPress plugin) and so yes, do it via FTP.

[frank tredici]

So @mercime, if I already have bbPress installed and running, I should download it and install it again? It’s bbPress that drives this warning message?

[c0rp53]

oh, damn! Thanks, I swear I searched for a place to post my error on the themekraft site, but just found there was a support forum for premium costumers. Thanks again, should I delete this topic or something?

[Hugo Ashmore]

If you don’t want threads locked do not! insult people or get tetchy it does you no favours. No one is obliged to help and one takes what help one does receive with good grace even if not quite what what one was after, also do bear in mind tech help forums are not services, members are not obliged to write code snippets for people.

As for giving free time be careful using that as reasoning; many of us give a huge amount of our time, seldom spare, and is not something insignificant, for instance a few of us are just bringing a community theme to fruition which has taken a lot of our time little of which could really be said to be ‘spare’ time and when this is how you make your living, especially in a freelance capacity that is best not overlooked as something insignificant.

I’m closing this thread as it does not ask any questions that can be answered.

@shawn38

Shawn Roger provides a great deal of help and support of the forum, and has provided you with some valuable pointers and guidance here which should have helped you. Throwing that help back in someone’s face and insulting them is not very wise, nor is it ever acceptable behaviour on open forums.

Many of us that can provide the help people require are ‘Professionals’ in the strict meaning of the word we earn our living from web development, I, nor any of the others I suspect, take kindly to phrases like and the ones that use it to gain money should be banned! it’s not a very clever thing to say!

This thread has become unproductive and I’m closing it.

Please avoid insulting members on this forum in future.

@rogercoathup If your not going to provide real world examples then just stop posting here. Most people on this forum are not php programmers and the ones that use it to gain money should be banned! If your not going to provide real world examples then just stop posting here. Most people on this forum are not php programmers and the ones that use it to gain money should be banned! @mercime This is just my opinion but I am tired of people telling you what to do but not enabling or giving you the knowledge of how to do it. Telling someone to hire a developer is not an option because most people including myself are poor, so @rogercoathup If your not going to provide real world examples then just stop posting here. Most people on this forum are not php programmers and the ones that use it to gain money should be banned! Post your bull on the job board if you wanna make money. If you really wanna help open source then quit beating around the bush and give real help when its needed!

[juanlopez4691]

I finally made up a solution adding some meta fields (blog_id, blog_path, blog_name) to groups on creation:

`function bp_group_meta_save ( $group_id ) {
$blog = get_blog_details( get_current_blog_id(), true );

$fields = array(
‘blog_id’ => $blog->blog_id,
‘blog_path’ => $blog->path,
‘blog_name’ => $blog->blogname
);

foreach ( $fields as $field => $value ) {
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, $field, $value );
}
}
add_action( ‘groups_created_group’, ‘bp_group_meta_save’ )`

When showing the list of groups for the current blog, I build a list with the groups with the blog_id value that matches the blog:

`function get_groups_by_meta ( $field, $meta_key, $meta_value ) {
global $wpdb;

if ( is_string( $meta_value) ) $meta_value = “‘” . $meta_value . “‘”;

$sql = $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT $field from {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_groups_groupmeta WHERE meta_key=’$meta_key’ AND meta_value=$meta_value”, OBJECT );
$res = $wpdb->get_results( $sql );

return $res;
}

function get_groups_by_blogid ( $blog_id = 1 ) {
$list = get_groups_by_meta( ‘group_id’, ‘blog_id’, $blog_id );

if ( count( $list ) ) {
$res = ”;
foreach ( $list as $item ) {
$res .= $item->group_id . ‘,’;
}
return substr( $res, 0, -1);
} else {
return FALSE;
}
}`

And finally, in the groups-loop.php template:

`$current_blogid = get_current_blog_id();
if ( $current_blogid > 1) {
$groups_set = get_groups_by_blogid( $current_blogid );
( $groups_set !== FALSE ) ? $extra_args = ‘&include=’ . $groups_set : $extra_args = ‘&include=-1’;
}

if ( bp_has_groups( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘groups’ ) . $extra_args ) ) : ?>`

In my wp-config.php, I have defined BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG as true, and also a common place to upload user avatars:

`//Buddypress multi-sitio
define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

//Avatares de usuario comunes a toda la red multisitio
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_URL’, “http://mainblog/wp-content/uploads&#8221; );
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH’, ‘F:/xampp/www/mainblog/wp-content/uploads’ );`

I don’t know if this is a overly complicated solution. I suspect Buddypess 1.6 can deal with this situation (segregated groups, activity, forums but common user base) in a far more simple way, but I have no idea how.

Any clues?

[smartmwp]

@mercime Thanks so much for replying. I am using a theme Supermassive by themeforest and this theme is BP compatible. Was working fine with BP1.5.7. Plugins Installed (all at their latest versions)

bbpress,
jw player,
members (for tweaking user roles),
akismet,
BP Group Email Subscription,
Subscribe2,
Buddypress Group forum extras(deactivating this didn’t work),
enhanced Buddypress widgets,
WP Super Cache
YARRP

Site Wide Forum settings – I have checked “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums”
and Group Forums Parent as “Forum Root”. The pages assigned under Buddypress – Settings have not changed, nor I made any changes to the Site Wide Forum Settings after upgrading to version 1.6. There are only 2 options for me at Buddypress->Settings-> Forums
1. Uninstall Group Forums
2. Configure Site Wide Forums

Thanks and would really appreciate all advise.

[theBestProgrammers]

I have a single buddypress blog under sub directory, I have activated 1.6 version in WP 3.4.1 but I can’t see any forum groups, etc option for users at front end. Also in admin area under BuddyPress >> Settings gives error message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
Not even BuddyPress tab appearing at left menu.

[ToxikRick]

Ok, I did a lot of reading here. I decided to try something much simpler… and it worked for me.

I… uninstalled my forums from the WPadmin area
Made a copy of my bb-config.php on my desktop (just in case I needed to put it back
deleted the existing bb-config.php using file zilla FTP program
re-installed forum WPadmin area(with my forum page I created already selected)

It told me a new bb-config.php file was created. Tested out a post and it worked! I really hope this helps others!

[aberrantlitprof]

@shaista here is the link to that conversation: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/buddypress-1-6-multisite-help/
In my case, I had to add ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id ); with “2” replacing “$blog_id”. Hope that helps.

I’m running out of time for a solution so I hope one is found soon. I’ve been building an online class website and classes start in about a week.

@ mercime

Ok I followed your steps however there is one slight issue.
Steps #1-4 works fine. However Im unable to sync it with buddypress.

According to this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-integration-where-is-bb-config-php-in-bbpress-v-2-0-2/

If that thread is right… I wont be able to because 2.x versions of bbpress dont use bb-config.php.
Of course there is no way to install a 1x series of bbpress in wordpress (or at least I couldnt figure out how its possible).

my bbpress works great, so… am I basically sol until the Buddypress people do the merging expected in v1.7?

EDIT: As explained, I have installed Buddypress but since I couldnt figure out how to integrate the existing bbpress install I turned off the forums option inside buddypress (I didnt want any conflicts). my BBpress forum still works fine.

After digging around for a while I noticed a few things.
1) If I open up a user profile in Buddypress I can see the topics the user created in the forum.
2) If I create a group it asks me if I want to create a forum for that group. In my phpbb3 forum I created forums for groups of people. After converting over to bbpress I have a forum for a ‘group of people’. When creating the group I did NOT create a forum for the group because I didnt want it to overwrite or mess up the existing forum in bbpress (the old forum and new group name are the same).
Without syncing buddypress and bbpress (as I explained above), is there anyway to link a group with an existing forum?
Ideally I want group forums, I just dont want to loose any posts already existing.

[@mercime]

@smartmwp do provide more information about your installation like — Single or Multisite? Custom theme or have you tried changing to bp-default to see if issue is corrected? Plugins installed? etc.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

1. Yes, we changed this to make BuddyPress compatible with more servers. To change this WordPress email address, try a plugin like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/send-from/ or ask on the WordPress.org forums for other recommendations.

2. What theme (and version of the theme) are you using? What version was this working on? i.e. what version did you upgrade from.

3. 1.6 uses the WordPress core toolbar, rather than BuddyPress’ old toolbar. The WordPress logo is added to the bar by WordPress itself.

[@mercime]

@zillabuggs

– re BP Gallery – if you have any issues with the plugin, then bring it to BuddyDev.com forums so @sbrajesh can assist you

– re BP Album – if you need assistance with this plugin, then do post it in their forums which the plugin devs check regularly at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/

[D]

So you mean to tell me that this support forum, that boasts “42,540 forum posts” does not have way to search it? What kind of support is that? I don’t have three days to read 42K posts. I just want to know how (or if) I can set up my BP so that I have to approve registration requests.

[ale_ba]

@rogercoathup
Sorry for my wrong question.
The right is: how can I enable this feature in a BP site?
I mean in my site for example arrive me notification about change setting of group but not for response in a forum’s topic.

thank’s
