In reply to: Limiting My Blog Content
Hugo AshmoreParticipantThis is a WP factor not a Buddypress one. Look into the use of the ‘more tag’ used to split posts where you wish within the post body. The WP codex is your friend for questions like this.

Ben HansenParticipanti would echo everything hugo says and maybe add a bit more of my own perspective. First off whenever someone offers me equity as partial or full compensation you have to answer two fundamental questions #1 what is the value of the equity they are offering and #2 does the commitment they are asking from me allow for the proposed cash/equity split. Now those two questions may seem simple but the devil is always as they say in the details.
Unless you have a huge bankroll and can support your own expenses until the point the site returns the value you are hoping for if someone is asking for a full time commitment the answer to #2 will always be no.
If the offer is not for equity but just payment down the road then it really isn’t an offer at all he is asking you to extend him a line of credit. What happens if the site never makes any money? No matter how good the idea may seem, good ideas, businesses and sites die everyday for a lot of reasons as a designer and consultant i feel like it’s my responsibility (both for myself and my clients) to always assume the worst case scenario, remember there are now over a billion websites out there just having a great idea and strong execution is by no means a guarantee of success.
Your wall street client should understand these thing intimately and as hugo suggests the implied tone suggests he’s looking to lower his own risk at your expense and my antenna would be fully perked at this point if were you. Assuming you trust in the idea and the client and you getting some kind of equity cash split make sure the cash portion is something you can live with especially if you are giving up your existing full time job to start the project and think of the equity as being a bonus based on the success of the project.
I do not personally deal with contracts myself (unless a client or vendor requests one) i require deposits and stage payments for large projects but if theres equity involved you absolutely must have a contract as well as lawyer who has no relation to your client to look it over for you. you will also need to value the company in order to calculate what your equity would be worth. if there are no expenses other then your time then theoretically you should have 100% equity.
I’ll sign of with a quote hope it helps mindset wise.
“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.” – Albert Einstein

Paul Wong-GibbsKeymasterI am absolutely certain I’ve answered this same question somewhere else, a few days ago. Please don’t ask for support for the same issue multiple times. I’d prefer Welcome Pack questions on the WordPress.org plugin support forums, too, please đ

mohammadParticipantSorry for not responding to the questions – I never received notification of any replies! If you still need any help, send me a message at mohammad@duable.com and I’ll try to help out the best I can.
Valuser, 7 months later, I’m sure you have your answer, but that is where you place the code to manipulate/display the information about each user as it runs through the loop.
February 23, 2013 at 12:59 am #153820In reply to: BuddyBoss Theme for BuddyPress — Wow!
Kevin M. SchaferParticipant@flyveren Okay, I will do as you suggest. I did look around in my db and I couldn’t differentiate the buddypress tables from the rest of the tables. I’m going to read up on this.
A fella like me that’s new at all of this, I don’t need the Beta version. I have successfully re-installed 1.6.4 and everything is working great. I really like this BuddyBoss theme. My mother is going to like it, too, when she sees it.
I’m glad to hear that you have this theme as well. If I have any questions, I will send you a mention.
I do have one concern that although everything is fine now, when it comes time to upgrade to the newest BP version when that time comes, that everything will go as planned. I think there’s something to be said for allowing WordPress the chance to install plugins and themes on its own instead of using FileZilla. I would imagine the final version of BP will be slimmed down to clear entry into WP. Either that or WP will update just prior and relax the upload limitation a bit and allow a slightly bigger BP folder to come up and install.
I’m going to enjoy my new theme and get building my social site. If you, or anyone, thinks I should clear those tables and reload 1.6.4, please let me know. I’m not afraid to try it. If you think the tables are fine — because my site is running fine — I’ll leave then alone. I just hope when the day comes to upgrade that I’ll be okay. By then, I’ll have a great deal of time invested in my site.
Thanks for taking the time and helping!
Kevin
February 23, 2013 at 12:57 am #153819In reply to: WPMU BP Install
danbpfrParticipantDoes one enable define ( âbp_enable_multiblogâ true ) prior to BP installation or directly afterward, or does it not matter.
Doesn’t matter. BP is a plugin who went on a single or on a network enabled WP install. bbPress also.
Should one network enable BP & bbPress upon installation or not?
see previous answer. If your network is activated, you see under each installed plugin in your network admin the activation link who says “network activate”. Remeber also that with network activated, you have two dashboard as super-admin. One is your main blog and a single WP admin, the other one is the network admin where your BP and bbPress plugins are/should be installed.
I have followed The Definitive Guide To BuddyPress & bbPress Configuration
This (good) tutorial was updated for bbPress 2.2+ and BuddyPress 1.6.1+ But time and things changes rapidly on the WP Planet….
Actually we have 1.6.4 and we are close to 1.7 ! It’s better you read here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
Be aware with the group forum page slug and the bbP plugin forum page slug – this is really important.Before you came accross with new questions, can you please indicate your BP/WP version and your main blog theme name & version ? Or much better, your site url ?
February 22, 2013 at 11:05 pm #153799In reply to: WPMU BP Install
daspedParticipantThanks @Chouf1 forsuch a  detailed response. Unfortunately WPMU is not an issue, I’m quite familiar with it and run it on alternative sites already. My current project is where my difficulties began.
WPMU with multiple sub-sites and mapped domains are all pre-configured and ready to roll. (Users can register, I can upload and post images etc etc)
BUDDYPRESS: The problem I have experienced over the past week has been Buddypress & bbPress is failing me.
What I’m therefore trying to achieve, or at least figure out  is exactly why….
Every time I step forward, from the point I’m at right now and install Buddypress with bbPress things fail! Problems I’m experiencing are as follows.
An inability to edit, spam, stick etc. Any ‘Sitewide Forum’ – (Group forums are fine)
E-mails do not get sent to subscribed users.
Site registration fails, email is sent but link with auth code in fails and no user is created.
What I’m trying to do here on my 6th complete new install is break things down step by step to see if its a process issue.
Theme is fully BP & bbP friendly, and all pages display excellently when BP/bbP is installed.
For the record I can also state that I use Buddypress on an alternate singular site with WP, no issues whatsoever.
This is my first BP WPMU Install and I can only say its been a complete nightmare, thus far. Hence why I asked the questions I have, trying to breakdown every aspect of my install, process of elimination.
Questions again –
Does one enable define ( ‘bp_enable_multiblog’ true ) prior to BP installation or directly afterward, or does it not matter.
Should one network enable BP & bbPress upon installation or not?
I have followed The Definitive Guide To BuddyPress & bbPress Configuration, over at http://labzip.com to the letter also, but on the last five occasions my WPMU BP bbP istall has failed, as described above.
Yes, savage troubleshooting headache…
P.S- Thanks for your Root Blog explination đ Much appreciated.

GodwrxParticipantThank you for your quick response.
To answer some of your questions:
– What theme are you using?: This is a custom theme we built
– If you change to BP Default theme, is registration issue corrected?: yes it does work, strangely, before it didn’t work, hence we changed the host.
– With all plugins active, it works on the BP default theme.Any suggestions as to where we can start looking into the problem that we have? Thank you for your time and valuable feedback.

jddeiselParticipantHi @saurabhshukla
How would I go about grabbing the geotag in the exif data? Does BuddyPress Media do that already? The reason I could not get buddypress media to work for me is because it doesn’t give me upload photo button on the posts? Or maybe it does and I don’t know how to use it. Maybe you can help with my questions. My Ultimate goal is so I can upload a picture and the put it on a map(like google map.
Best Regards,
DaveFebruary 21, 2013 at 12:28 am #153569pdillon809ParticipantI have two questions.
I’m using a child theme of Evolution and put all the 6 folders and sidebar-buddypress.php header-buddypress.php in the Child theme folder – it seems to work but is this the best practice?
Also, what’s the purpose of the “jQuery(document).” stuff at the bottom of sidebar-buddypress.php? If I copy your code as is, I see the text starting with jQuery(document). actually on the pages. Shouldn’t there be some pointy bracket stuff before jQuery(document).
Sorry for the lay terms, I’m not a programmer.

NormParticipantI’m looking into this too. I think the problem is that bbpress is adding that forum tab and not buddypress. Did you figure it out?
Otherwise this is a good reference.

Jchamp311ParticipantTO answer your questions @mercime….before going back to scratch, what exactly was done re menu? Was a plugin created or was it addressed via themeâs functions.php? Have you tried reverting to BP Default theme to check if issue is resolved?
1. it was not a plugin he created it was addressed via the themes functions.php
2. yes I have tried reverting back to the default theme but the pages are still missing.
3. He has taken out the code now too.February 11, 2013 at 1:12 pm #152818brisrocketParticipantOh and related questions, can I send email notifications to my subscribers to let them know:
1) When I change them to ‘editor’ level
2) tell them about the backlog of notifications they have missed because of my fumblingFebruary 6, 2013 at 6:21 pm #152510In reply to: [Resolved] How do I prevent users creating blogs?
Jay CollierParticipantGood questions!
However, I am, indeed, using the default BP theme. I have temporarily hidden new blog creation with CSS, but the HTML is still there.
February 4, 2013 at 9:10 pm #152382In reply to: how to override buddypress function using hook?
Mitesh PatelParticipantThanks @shanebp. A couple of questions before I mark this thread resolved one way or other.
It seems a whole lot labour to write a plugin (which I’ll have to learn first đ ) for a solitary redirect, but can I not do it in bp-custom.php, which seems to be for the same type of purposes, and conveniently resides in plugins directory?
Secondly, $location refers to the url of the page from which action originated as opposed to the location where the page will be redirected afterwards, right? I checked the referred wp codex page before I asked the earlier question, but couldn’t figure out what it meant.

indirakrishnaParticipantAny updates on the questions from the above developers??
And @Talon is it working on your site now ? And how is it ? are there better or best alternates for point and ranking system for all the buddypress users

@ChrisClaytonParticipant@stobywan – Please don’t create new threads, there is a response that is waiting for an answer at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-form-not-submitting-2/
You’re more likely to get a response via answering the questions there. By not responding to questions, those who are attempting to help assume that it is fixed and move on and help others.
February 1, 2013 at 7:40 pm #152202In reply to: HELLO?!?! Any Moderators?
intimezParticipantI noticed this is the second time it being mentioned so would like to clarify.
Are all support questions now going to wp plugin page and not on bp support forum?
January 29, 2013 at 12:21 am #151943In reply to: [Resolved] threaded comments won't work after update
factorianParticipantubernaut:
Thanks alot. Your topic gave me some ideas.
After what you said above, reading your post and looking at the ticket description. I suspect my problem is a combination of both a DB issue & AJAX call or hook (I’m an end user so if I get the terminology wrong please bear with me).Also, I have 2 questions:
– what did djpaul mean when he said: “Recreated by several users on multiple installs…..” Specifically what “multiple installs” is he referring to?
– Did you ever get your issue resolved after applying Changeset 6679?
Thx!

NormParticipantIt looks like the default is in wp-content > uploads > avatars.
I think you can restrict upload sizes in the wpsettings.
