Hi @julesmaas-1

Try asking on the bbPress support forum. They cover all questions that are forum-related.

Hi @eversatile

In case it helps in future, there is a support forum for bbPress where you can ask forum-related questions.

https://bbpress.org/forums/

Members need to log in at least once before they appear on the front end.

If you have questions about bbPress ( forums ), please ask on their support forum.

I’m having this issue, too. http://www.maaspublications.net/testsite/client/groups/webinar-participants/forum/topic/i-have-questions-lots-lots-of-questions/

Hi @espyd,

Sorry you are having this issue after upgrading. Just to help us understand why it’s happening, could you reply to these questions:

WordPress version ?
WordPress configuation ? (Multisite or not)
If multisite: is BuddyPress activated on the main site or in a sub site ?
In the General settings of WordPress is the registration setting on ?
Are you using a cache plugin ?

@jjj just thought i’d ping you since nobody followed up on this one and he was still asking questions.

🙂

rhetorical questions…
Did you try it?
Is the hook I mentioned also in that template?

Hi Christian,
in case of limited no. of trusted users, we can add the capability ‘bp_moderate’. Still, I will say it is a flawed approach and insecure. Please do not try that.

Can you please let me the answers of the following questions and may be I can put some code:-

1. By notice, do you want to show the users who created this notice?
2. I assume there can be more than one notice at a time?
3. Should all users be mailed on notice(also a local notification be generated for each user)
4. Is there anything else you want to be part of this notice feature?

Thanks

Hey @ubernaut. All thoughtful consideration is appreciated and encouraged, but your “doesn’t currently exist in buddypress” response was neither, considering @skyrant appeared to already frustrated by BuddyPress not performing to his expectations.

It was also inaccurate, as functions like bp_current_user_can() exist explicitly to enable developers to extend this functionality. If skyrant is unable to make it work, more open-ended questions about the approach will help us figure out what’s not working correctly, be it on his/her end or ours.

And this…

please let me know if you feel like my participation is no longer desired around here

This isn’t the case, and if it ever was to be, never let that stop you anyways. We are all trying to build cool things and improve the world through better open-source community software. It’s inclusive at it’s core. Only twice in eight years have we excluded anyone because of clearly malicious abuse of other members, and it still bothers me to have needed to do so.

Not tested recently, may not work with upcoming 2.2

@giuseppecuttone no, you do not need to donate any money to get responses – as you know by now. Please be aware that we are all volunteers living in different time zones.

Please start a new topic if you have questions relating to BuddyPress. Closing this topic. Thanks.

We’re looking to improve the invite process for BuddyPress 2.3.

I’m going to ping @dcavins, as he will be implementing the invite improvements, so he’s aware of this.

Just to answer your questions:

Notification in the profile window’s (there are 3 notifications: message (1) – friends (1) – but in GROUPS there is no notification).

The “Groups > No Pending Invites” nav item is for invites you have requested. Not invites that are pending for the entire group.

The user (A) has posted in a group wall’s and the user (B) has done a comment.
The user (A) hasn’t received notification neither admin toolbar or administration profile windows.

Currently, notifications do not occur for activity comments. We’ll likely add this enhancement into core eventually, but for now, you’ll have to use a plugin for this:

BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier

The user (A) has opened a forum in a grup. The user (B) has done a comment.
The user (A) has received notification in the administratio toolbar. But when the user (A) has done a comment the user (B) don’t has received the notification.

How did user A reply to user B? On the group activity homepage or on the actual group forum topic? If user A replied on the group forum topic, then this sounds like an issue with bbPress, not BuddyPress.

Well, I kept searching and found the solution to my problem. Check out this post on StackExchange:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/15304/how-to-change-the-default-registration-email-plugin-and-or-non-plugin

It worked like a charm for me.

Since BuddyBoss is a premium theme, your purchase entitles you to paid support.
So you’re better off asking those questions on the BuddyBoss support system.

Hi @pahroblem

Try asking bbPress-related questions over at bbPress:

https://bbpress.org/forums/

Hey guys, this is Michael from BuddyBoss.

@style960 Thanks for the kind words 🙂

@ronia

Can you please share a link?

The next theme will be available later this month, so check back at buddyboss.com every so often and you’ll see it advertised there. It is an entirely new concept.

If you really want to play with it now, send an email to support at buddyboss dot com asking to be a beta tester, and I’ll let you in.

@disha76

do you know how to contact the Buddyboss people for pre-sales queries?

Here I am, ask away 🙂

They seem to have no open forum

True, we used to have an open forum, but we had too many spam signups and closed it to customers only.

I submitted some queries via their contact form – and got no reply from them – its 4 days.

Sorry to hear. We are usually faster, but may have been slower due to the holiday season. What email did you send from? (you can PM me this if you prefer)

I visited the Buddyboss demo but it does not show how standard Blog post…

Here is a sample blog post:
http://www.buddyboss.com/demo/buddyboss/an-argument-for-simplicity/

Front-end posting…

We are going to build a plugin for front-end blog posting. In general we prefer to put big features in plugins rather than themes, so they can work with any theme. Then we style that functionality in our themes so it looks really nice.

Do the Buddyboss people frequent this forum ? If they do and answered such queries it would be a good sign indeed.

I check out buddypress.org forums pretty frequently and answer questions 🙂

@djsteveb

I found that most buddypress responsive themes are based on bootstrap – and since rtmedia loads a lot of bootstrap, and font awesome stuff, things would break when I put them together..

Agreed, bootstrap bloats stuff and causes problems. BuddyBoss themes (current and future) are just CSS and media queries. We’re not using bootstrap.

Without knowing everything exactly the way you envision, from reading:

4 different categories where different Contributors can write new posts and interact with the Participants in the forum (better way to comment and reply to questions using the forum, than WordPress’s commenting system). These Contributors, however, must have their own public profile and allow for Participants to subscribe to their posts. So far, I’ve used different plugins:

I think if you drop buddypress… do a WP MultiSite install – with 4 sub blogs… look into creating “author pages” – not all themes do that well out of the box… a simple subscribe to blog plugin for each of the 4 blogs.. I think you can install bbpress and mix it with each sub blog – but I have not messed with bbpress in a while, so not sure the best way to connect that.. I think you can enable to the bbpress “sitewide” then each individual sub blog author and enable it or something.. then code that into the sidebar if each blog.. that would do everything you have said I think.. maybe that will get you in the direction you are trying to go.

I suggest searching the wp plugin repo for plugins that are “multi site” enhancements.. look into “author pages” in the codex, and search for themes that have special author pages to make experimenting easier..

hi @xuanling,

there is no forum in BuddyPress. You can use bbPress if you want group forums or a general forum.

Answers to your other questions are here:

Configure BuddyPress

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

Questions regarding a third party plugin should be asked on that plugin support forum.

Subsidiary question to you: how can a code snippet or WP know the difference between the mystery man picture and your grand’ma picture ?

As you know, WP uses Gravatar and some other services. You can deactivate the mystery man to use one of them in replacement. At least a more colorfull alternative, even if it’s not the answer you expect. 😉
