Ok, this is a serious problem. I’m experiencing essentially the same thing. We’re running BP 1.1.3 and just upgraded form WPMU 2.8.6 to 2.9.1 . But as soon as I finished upgrading the entire site (including all the blogs), I went to the front page and everything is shown exactly 6 hours older than it really is.

See here: http://jibenow.com/

I’ve done some digging around and this is what I’ve found so far: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/16374

I’ll be giving it a shot and see if I can make a simple hack like they mentioned.

These aren’t BuddyPress questions. Look on the WordPress and WordPress MU websites and forums.

hi Eric

Sorry for not responding earlier. recently, I was a little bit busy with my other work, so could not keep up with the forum.

Just checking the functionality and going to update my older plugin today. will update you here /or Pm you tomorrow as posting link here may be considered as adv.

[dainismichel]

Right, and what code displays the “Main Themes” and where do I put it…I have some attempts here https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-access-to-bbpress-admin-from-buddypress but that’s not cutting it.

Maybe I’ll just try sticking

$forums = bb_get_forums();

“somewhere…”

[hatiro]

Yeah, I would have done but I’ve been skinning this one since about 1 Nov 09….. and have made it fit what I’ve been doing. I had originally done the site in 1.0.3 which has been live but then ran into trouble with plugins, so decided to redo to 1.1.2 when I couldn’t upgrade without losing a few things, I decided to start over with 1.1.2…

Trouble is (not that I’m complaining here) that you are developing the system far, far quicker than I can keep up…

As I guess quite a few of us aree running older version, it may be worth considering setting up different forums to cope with legacy systems as like the IE issue, we still have to cope with those who are just not up to it………..

[josephtravers]

Okay… maybe I mispoke.

What can we add to one of the php files so that html tags like “img”, “em”, “strong”, etc will work?

I’m one of the many php/buddypress newbies who are still learning.

[peterverkooijen]

@snark, I simply removed the function bp_core_disable_welcome_email() from bp_core_activation.php. But then the password in the welcome email is wrong, as discussed here. Haven’t been able to come up with an explanation/solution for that…

On the 2nd, Andy worked on this by trimming all whitespace from newly entered values. You can see the changes here:

https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2547

I tested this on http://testbp.org/, and yes, it does keep the problem from happening for new members. There are two outstanding issues with this however.

1. It silently trims the whitespace, so you have no way of knowing that your username is not what you entered. At a minimum, it should send you an updated username with the confirmation email. Only after looking at the site activity, and seeing my username with the space trimmed, did I realize why I wasn’t able to log in.

2. It doesn’t help any of the existing users with spaces in their names (such as myself on this forum).

Admittedly, this is a tough problem to solve for existing users, but yes, AFIK, it is still unsolved.

WordPress-MU 2.9.1.1 + BuddyPress 1.2rc (upgrade from 1.1.3) = same problem.

[catinw12]

okay, well that was 2 hours not well spent.

reinstalled the plugin recommended on the wpmu forum, namely collin mcdonald’s WP-Mail-SMTP Plug-in

it doesn’t work, no matter what variation I tried.

I cannot believe that with all the 1,000’s of buddypress users on here that I am the only one with issues about making sure our members get their messages and that they don’t go to spam.

a default server email address like the one I mention here is sure to go to spam in many email programs. …

the relentless search continues

[catinw12]

okay, tried adding our mailserver info and user login and password and changed the port in the file class-pop3.php in wp-includes.

sent a bunch of messages, using different configuration.

nothing solves the default server from line.

looking at the wpmu forum per DJPaul’s recommendation. I had found a plugin there and tried to install it – didn’t work. Looking again.

Hi Zastrow,

As far as I know there’s not an explicit way to edit the links from the admin site.

Just to be clear, if you don’t use Forums and Groups, disabling them BuddyPress ‘components setup’ page will automatically remove them from the user menus.

I’m not sure how comfortable you are with theme modification, but for more fine-tuning (including adding pages), you can create a simple child theme and in the functions.php file create actions to modify the menus. You action might look like this:

function mytheme_add_top_pages() {

wp_list_pages( 'title_li=&depth=1');

}

add_action('bp_adminbar_menus','mytheme_add_top_pages');

Please, note, I have not tested the above function!

@1stAngel; Groupblogs is not presently compatible with wpmu 2.9.1.1 (for many). At the very least you’ll need to add the code mentioned in the middle of the linked topic below. That may, or may not help as results seem to vary. For me (with bp1.1.3) new group members are not automatically becoming blog members unless I promote them to Mods or Admins. Hopefully once bp 1.2 is stable the plugin can be updated to work well with 1.2 and wpmu 2.9.1.+:

I believe they just use a seperate bbpress install here.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

I haven’t seen any plugins do this

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Um. We’ve seen lots of issues on the forum here about corrupt installs via simplescripts or other weird options. I’d suggest you install WordPress and BuddyPress manually.

[symm2112]

That’s not really a buddypress question, more of a bbpress question. If you’re using the one click install group forums, you wouldn’t be able to use any plugins anyway. The only way to use a plugin for this would be to use the external bbpress integration.

[josephtravers]

Has there been a plug-in developed to allow for this? Especially one that will work with 1.2?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

This is not a BuddyPress question. This was introduced in a recent version of WPMU. I am closing this thread; if you need further information, please visit the WMPU forums.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Two things

1) If they have released this as a plugin, it will work on any WordPress site. I do not have to remind you that BP runs on WP.

2) Do not put Andy’s name or anyone else’s in the subject of a forum post. If you really must have his attention, sed a message to him and see if you get a reply. We will be locking or deleting any such threads in future.

Same trouble when i want to create a topic: “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare checked() in /home/vhosts/siteurl/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 380”

WordPress-MU 2.9.1.1 + BuddyPress 1.1.3 (new installation)

Install WP/MU as a directory.

Directory install, is it in root.

BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in

Active plugins: “rus-to-lat”

Using the standard BuddyPress theme.

I didn’t modify the core files.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

You can’t out of the box

[Nick Watson]

I posted the full solution here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/email-login-randomized-user-urls-solution

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

I have found a plugin in the past which sorts this. I can’t remember the name. This is a WPMU issue as BP uses WPMU’s email function; I suggest you look at the WPMU forum.

Email Login & Randomized User URLs

check out the following link for the solution:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/email-login-randomized-user-urls-solution

When a user goes to register, they get to type in an email and a password.

Their ‘username’ field is hidden.

The code will randomly generate a URL for the person like below:

mem12345abcdefghijklmnopqrst

so their URL would be

http://www.yoursite.com/members/mem12345abcdefghijklmnopqrst

Freeing up the good names like John and Smith to be created manually by an administrator.
