@prettiggeleerd what theme are you using? Have you tried changing to BP Default theme to check if it works?
Hi everybody, thank you for this great plugin.
I begin with my platform datas:
– wordpress 3.5.1
– buddypress 1.7.1
– bbpress 2.3.1
That’s my site forum: http://escrivere.com/forums/forum-groups/indice-argomenti/
I’ve made the transition from buddypress group forums to bbpress following your guide.
All seems to work fine, but there’s a big issue that i can’t deal with!
When a user tries to invite some other user to his group the invited users don’t receive any notification, not via mail nor on their status bar!
The problem exists on public, private and hidden group forums.
Some solution?
Other issue: Even if a forum is private or hidden (using buddypress administration) users that are not subscribed to the group can see the topic title here:
Discussions
If group is private they are redirect to the page where they can request to enter in the group.
If the group is hidden they get a 404 error page.
I don’t know how to deal with bbpress forums options, if I made a group forum “hidden” using bbpress settings group vanish from topic index, also for users that are subcribed to the hidden group, except for moderators and keymaster.
Ah, and another big big mistake when a users try to change group settings of his group (private, hidden, public) forum option is deselected and forum group vanish, until you select again the forum group!
Hope you can help me!

Hey thanks for spotting the bug. I just updated the plugin to 1.4 so read the readme.txt and install it to check and see if the added code takes care of the issue. Thanks!

Similar problem here: WP 3.5.1 multisite + BP 1.7.1
When admin accepts membership requests all works well; new members are added to the group list. But the new member doesn’t actually get access and still gets a message that says “this is a private group, request memberhip”.
I also use the DB Cache Reloaded Fix plugin.

Nice plugin. Is it easy for you to include function in this plugin to do either of the following:
* Automatically block (or make Private) the listing of posts in Activity from specific blogs on the network.
* Automatically block (or make Private) the listing of posts in Activity from specific users of the network.
I have been trying to do this for a long time but no such plugin or feature is available yet.
Thankyou.
I spent a few hours creating a development version and testing, but I still can’t get it to hide private discussions from the activity stream.
Here is what I tried so far:
– Deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress, to see whether it is a conflicting plugin issue
– Reverted back to default BuddyPress theme
– Set the group to public, then back to private again
The only strange thing I’ve found so far is when I go into the database. Inside the bp_activity table, the discussions from private groups all have “hide_sitewide” = 0. If I set hide_sitewide for these discussions to 1, the topic no longer appears in activity stream. But where does hide_sitewide originally get set?
Thanks Hugo, I tested it with all plugins deactivated except for BuddyPress and bbPress, and the problem persists. I’ll need to test it with the default theme as well, and possibly revert back to BuddyPress 1.6 to see if it still happens.
The only change I made recently was update to BuddyPress 1.7 and change from sitewide forums to group forms.
I’ll have another test and see what I can find. Thanks for putting me on the right path
This should have dealt with quite a few versions back so something may have crept back in. If you can ensure this isn’t some odd plugin issue and that this definitely wasn’t happening in 1.6 please open a ticket on http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org using your site credentials.
I will just add though that a quick test on a local install running trunk does NOT show any issue like this, so check carefully it isn’t plugin issue also scan through trac to see if there was a recent ticket and fix put in place.
I’m using BuddyPress 1.7.1, and just noticed that discussions from private groups are appearing as updates in the activity stream.
This didn’t happen when I was using BuddyPress 1.6 and bbPress 2.3 sitewide forums. But I just noticed it started happening with the latest BuddyPress and group forums. A lot of my users aren’t pleased that their discussions, which they thought were private in their group, are now being displayed to other users on the site.
Is there a way to prevent private group discussions from leaking out into the public activity stream?
Hi
Thanks
I’d already tried that and nothing
Did it again so yo ucan see. The register page link form “create an account” is wrong, the page is http://retiredandkicking.com/index.php/register/ but it’s looking for http://retiredandkicking.com/register/
How do I correct this? Is the register page supposed to have content, as it seems to have none at all
Can I pass login details privately?

Try this plugin to see if it fits your requirement just understand it makes all BP pages private but line 24 in private-community-for-bp.php can be edited and commented out the components you don’t wish to protect there is an example built in the plugin for sitewide forums to see how to comment certain components out:

For the life of me I cannot figure out why it doesn’t work for the friends loop. Am I missing something glaringly obvious?
Anyway I thought why not just build the link and throw it directly in the friends template?
echo wp_nonce_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/compose/?r=' . bp_core_get_username( bp_get_member_user_id() ) );
@henrywright-1
I’m not going to spoon-feed this to you.
But you’re on the right track.
( I should have said ‘ The clue is in your reply…’ )
You’ve found what is the same in those two situations.
So what is different about them ?
Sometimes it’s easier to start anew.
For example – instead of ‘how to I change this to do that’, start with ‘how do I do that’.
Use echo to confirm the required variables.
Use var_dump to expose all the fields in objects.
@shanebp you mean the bp_directory_members_item is different? That is the same in both the members directory and the friends list (both use the members loop)…
@henrywright-1
What’s different? The answer is in your reply “Thanks for that… ”
@valuser
That usage makes sense and has been mentioned by others.
But it’s not a simple tweak.
And would require an admin screen so you could choose to show / not show the button in loops.
And etc. etc.
I’ll write an article in the next week or so on

Thanks for function https://gist.github.com/shanebp/5391229
works bp 1.7, wp 3.5.1, bbPress 2.3.1 Theme: Child of bp Befault
Any chance that it might call up your BP Profile Message UX 1.1.3
Interestingly I just tried this outside of the members loop. It doesn’t work on the friends list page. What is different about the friends loop and the members loop for this not to work? Humm…
Thanks for that! I can see now you’ve created a new function display_private_message_button which hooks on to action bp_directory_members_item in the members loop. Sorry for being slow, i got there in the end :}
Start with the add_action and follow the function calls.
If you see a function that isn’t defined in the gist, then that function is in the codebase.
Find and study it.
The add_action calls a function that calls bp_send_message_button() which creates the button.
Part of creating the button is creating the link.
The link can be filtered – so look for apply_filters in that context.
@shanebp
Is it possible to explain how the code works?
Bummmp, I’m curious too. Thanks for any info!
I have set up a new WordPress site using Turnkey Linux running WordPress 3.5.1 and I installed Buddypress 1.7 and bbpress 2.3. I have enabled Friends in the Buddypress settings page, but the Friends tab does not show up when I log in. When I go to members, I can send a friend request, but I can’t find where to accept the request. On both sides it shows a button that says cancel request, but not accept request.
This is a private website, so I can’t link to it. But here is a screen shot.
gs is a shared environment as such it is not recommended for anything but private buddypress sites (maybe not even then). unlike other shared environments gs will not throttle you but instead they will bill you for overage the thing to really watch for is the GPU. WP+BP will use something like 100x the GPU of a typical static site when i used them on a BP site with about 2000 visitors a day about 2 years ago we were looking at about 200 in overage in the first month alone.
#1 some media temple term that doesn’t mean much just think of it as total bandwidth cause thats probably what it is.
#2 yes.
#3 1
#4 probably not but i’m sure you can buy extras. email accounts are totally separate from wordpress/buddypress accounts.
