Please include any links to bbPress forums that refer to these statements:

that bbPress function turns out to be riddled with bugs 🙁
(I guess JJJ’s “condemned” remarks would imply the same conclusion?)

>Is there a way to completely disconnect BuddyPress notifications from the bbpress forums?

Try changing this line:
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification', 10, 7 );
to
//add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification', 10, 7 );
in bbpress\includes\extend\buddypress\notifications.php

Thanks for the help, Henry–that bbPress function turns out to be riddled with bugs 🙁

Is there a way to completely disconnect BuddyPress notifications from the bbpress forums?

[@mercime]

I have read many stories about converting BuddyPress to BBPress format

@netentry Just to clarify that the only converting we ever did was to import content from the very old stand-alone bbPress 1.x.x versions included in very old BuddyPress installations into the bbPress 2.x.x plugin a long while back. That’s it. BuddyPress itself cannot be converted into bbPress forums.

Are there any good tools for performing a BBPress-to-BuddyPress conversion?

Another clarification here. BuddyPress is not a forum. It is a social network plugin with many components which could have Sitewide and/or Group forums if bbPress 2.x.x is installed and activated.

So in your case, if you only have the bbPress plugin activated, you could install and activate BuddyPress and set it up in the bbPress Settings screen to allow Group forums in addition to the Sitewide Forums. Take note however, that if you activate bbPress and BuddyPress at the same time, the BuddyPress member profile pages will trump (or will show up instead of) the bbPress member profile pages.

Hey @wecreatehype

Feel free to show off your community in the Your BuddyPress forum. It’ll be great to see a live version of Boss “in the wild”.

[melek_taus]

@danbp AWESOME!!! Works great! Would there be any way to exclude the bbpress forum index from this, since that is where my users will be redirected to log in?

[Henry Wright]

You could try the BuddyPress Ideas forum:

Ideas

[danbp]

Hi,
query seems to be correct, but you probably have to read through your plugin doc & tutorials:

Creating new wpDataTables with Table Constructor

… and, please, use the code button when you enter code on the forum.

Hi,

try BP auto group join

This question was asked many times in the past. Search the forum. Ie.

Auto join group based on role

how to add new members to groups automatically?

3 reports in 3 weeks sounds as though there could be an issue here. Can you open a ticket on Trac?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

You can use the same username and password that you use here in the forum to log in. Please provide as much background info as you can regarding your setup.

[VeeLow]

According to bbpress, this is a BuddyPress thing. They don’t think notifications hooks up with bbpress subscriptions.

In case it wasn’t clear, I’m talking about “Notifications,” the BuddyPress feature. The little pop-up number balloons. Not emails (to which one can subscribe). When I search support forums I see that people use these terms very loosely, but I was trying not to do that!

[Henry Wright]

Hi @veelow

Try asking this question over at bbPress.

[Henry Wright]

Hi @damland

Thanks for the report. Bug reports can be opened on Trac:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

The username and password you use here in the forums will work there too.

Actually I asked quite unusual question my apologizes, it can be easily triggered by add_action('publish_{custom_post_type_name}', 'function_to_perform');
Can anyone help me out with this, I want to get user_id when a user submits a forum topic so that I can award points, as currently I am using bbpress moderation so when user submits a topic until its published by admin they won’t get any points. I want to make custom function to award user points for submitting topic even if its under moderation.

[MvdO79]

Hi, I have the same issues:

– the buddypress register page is not creating users, after submit it shows the register page again and the passwords are gone.

– there are no users displayed in the backend

– there are no pending users

i have followed all directions found online and on this forum, fresh install of wp with fresh install of bp, no other plugins active etc…

Should I use an older version of bp? Do I have to create manual pages as the default bp theme is not active anymore?

@ch1n3s3b0y Hi there, im gonna chime in on this as im starting to believe that buddypress can most definately scale vary well (even though its not been proven yet to scale to say a million users+ i think its quite possible), as henry may remember from previous threads i have commented in i have decided to look into the ultimate server configurations to try and find the best way to actually move forward into my own buddypress build.

This has meant concentrating and learning about lots of different server configurations for the past couple of years in-between my other projects.

Do you think Buddypress can support hundreds of thousands, if not millions of users?

Lets just switch this notion right on its head, rather than ask yourself if buddypress can scale to a millon users start asking yourself if your server setup and configuration can scale to a million concurrent users instead.

The key to success on a buddypress active and busy site becomes more of a server and administration task rather than how you have buddypress setup on a basic server config (before long you will bottleneck somewhere if you do not setup for expansion).

I know it seems daunting to think about all of this rather than install it build it and launch it and expect it to scale! But to me doing something half hearted isnt the way forward with a serious build on any project. If you prepare and understand the potential problems before you have that killer network built with 100s of thousand of concurrent users its much better to be prepared than to sit back and go NOW WHAT! when you finally grind to a halt and noone can use your site anymore and you dont know how to fix and expand it. Proactive is the way forward.

I am currently testing my buddypress install on one of my servers with nginx and HHVM (hip hop virtual machine) that was created by and is used by facebook instead of standard php, this speeds up the PHP execution speed PHP code is translated into C++ compiled into a binary and run as an executable to really speed up the way php works, therefore making everying load much much much much faster! I have only just started messing around with HHVM and will keep you updated. is anyone else actually running HHVM? if so please do share with me your finding, to me this seems the way forward with any buddypress installed website.

Also as i have stated before once i have decided on my final server configurations and im 100 percent happy with exactly how my setups work with wordpress/buddypress to scale to massive amounts of users i will create a post and guide on how i have it all set up, but still will take me more time yet. and also as stated before if anyone else does want to give there 2 cents on it feel free because on these forums there is not much talk about actual configs that people are using, even though i do realize this is server tech department, i also believe it is a valid issue for buddypress because instead of questions about scalability there could also be a few answers which is my ultimate goal. 😉

Hi djsteveb, I appreciate that but it’s been several days since I asked on the wpmudev’s support forums and they haven’t replied yet, so I’m anticipating the “you’ll need to ask BuddyPress” response. I figure if I ask in both forums, one side may have an answer.

And since this is a function of the BuddyPress Profile Fields, I assumed I might have a better chance of getting a response here anyway. I know this isn’t overly complex for someone who knows the answer, I’m just hoping to find someone who does.

[Lars Henriksen]

Hi, thanks for answering.

At least and by default, in the whole white zone, right of the left black sidebar

You can see a group page here

On group pages only, I would like to skip the left vertical black menu bar, to get more space for group forum threads.

Thanks for digging, djsteveb. Keep us posted … 🙂

[djsteveb]

adjunkten – I wish someone would of answered this question – it would help others figure out if that documentation is old and no good, or what… maybe someone else has already answered this exact question in the forums here recently and that is why no one has answered (?)

Have you tried searching the forums to see if there has been another answer to this exact question recently?

[djsteveb]

@yespapa – there have been several posts in the forums about restricting views of various pages based upon logged in / logged out. I can’t remember any of the solutions, if there were any at this moment.

I think you need to establish first which pages will be viewable by public / not viewable unless logged in – and make sure your language is correct / thorough.

eg – in wordpress world “pages” are like “static pages” – they end up in nav menus, not in the blog “loop” – etc.. blog posts are posts.. and in bp world stuff like profiles, groups, are kind of “pseudo pages” – which are not easy to hide with standard user role / permission plugins like “press permit core” – and I’m not sure if s2member has started to be able to lockdown bp’s psuedo pages..

there are some details posted by others in the other threads that have alredy discussed this kind of thing.

[djsteveb]

@proforma_jec – given that wpmudev’s stuff (most of it anyway) is premium / paid things – you are likely to get little help with their stuff here at bp dot org.. the good thing for you is that wpmudev peeps are usually pretty quick to answer questions there, and generally come up with good solutions quickly as well. I’d suggest you ask about this via their support forums.

[niyaza]

I also faced the same error, showing HTTP error while upload avatar on buddypress profile.
On my site also have bbpress and BuddyPress plugins.
In my site don’t have BBPress plugin ‘Forum Restrict’.
Can you advice how I would resolve this issue.

[djsteveb]

@rocketslime – not sure if “The 7.2” theme is a premium theme you paid for or a free theme from somewhere?

From what I have seen in the bp forums, if it’s a premium theme – chances of you getting support here is less than 1%.. if it’s a free theme and it’s in the wp-repo – there is a slightly higher chance.. but most bp support is limited to the default 2014 / 2105 themes.

You should check this with your theme author to see if they can fix the problem.

[JECPFG]

You are correct on all three of your questions.

I tried switching themes and am still seeing the same issue.

I’m actually using BuddyPress in conjunction with WPMUDev’s Membership 2 Pro plugin, so it’s an issue with how those two are functioning together. I’ve posted on WPMUDev’s forums but can’t seem to find an answer there either, so I tried posting here hoping one side would know what the problem may be.

[shanebp]

bbPress has it’s own support forums.

As you probably know, PHP notices are not that critical.
You might try looking at the file in the notice.
I suggest you review the function and perhaps add a conditional to check if topic is empty before adding to $new_title
You may have found a bug. You can create a ticket here.

[LJagermaster]

@edoescad you might have more luck creating your own post herehere

I’m not a developer, in fact this was my first ever post on bp.org so I can’t help you on this… 🙂
