Topic: BuddyPress Newbie Questions
Hi, I just recently added BuddyPress to my customized themed WordPress website. I am using BuddyPress 1.7. I know which features of buddy press I want implemented into my site I just have zero clue on how to do that. I am not even sure if this is the place to ask but I would like to hire someone to customize BuddyPress to my exact needs.
Here’s what happening. I created an index page called All Forums. All it has on the page is this shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
It correctly generates a list of forums I have. Six made in a earlier version of Buddy Press, one made in version 2.2.4. For weeks it worked fine with an earlier version of both bbPress and Buddy Press. I set up 7 test forums and all features worked as expected.
It did work correctly yesterday with the newest version of both plug-ins installed. Today it does not work and I changed NOTHING except for a ID on a category that shouldn’t have anything to do with Forums or Groups.
Sorry for the extra long post, but necessary to explain how screwed-up thing got and to explain what I did.
Right now if I click on my icon (from within any of the Discussion Groups I get what you expect… a full listing of MY activity. Clicking on the title of the Forum now hangs the server. Clicking on Topics hangs the server.
The firefox browser now reports this error message:
The page isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
Google’s Chrome Browser reports this error message:
This webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at http://www.be-awesome.org/GeneralForums/all-forums/theres-always-room-for-jello/ has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.Explorer 10 browser just hangs, times out and says page can’t be found. Well Duh! It no longer exists. It shouldn’t find there’s always-room-for-jello forum, I DELETED it!
I had deleted the forum titled there’s-always-room-for-jello, so WHY now all of a sudden it tries to get that I have no idea. It didn’t yesterday and things worked fine, I changed NOTHING.
Next I went to Dashboard found the one new forum I created in bbPress 2.2.4 and from the Dashboard added a few lines of text. Updated the page, it accepted the changed and from Dashboard you can see the changes made. Now here we go again… Returning to my test page blah-1 I click on All Fourms, guess what. The Forum I just updated in the Dashboard did not show any change and is still show no posts instead of the one I just made from Dashboard. Yes I did refresh the browser. Yes I get the same stupid thing in three browsers. Yes I disabled all Buddy Press and bbPress plug ins except of course for the prime plug-in for each.
UPDATE
This makes NO SENSE. I went to Dashboard Tools-Buddy Press and in DESPERATION under Repair Forums I checked every ding dong choice and kept my fingers crossed. Now it works again! Keep in mind I added, deleted nothing. First thing this morning I accessed the site when to my test page and right off the bat it was broken.
Some questions:
How does it get “broken” when nobody added or deleted anything overnight?
How does an administrator KNOW when Buddy Press Forums break?
How often does this happen?
Am I better of starting from scratch?
Is this kind of error caused by trying to migrate posts from earlier versions?Funny thing is I did nothing to migrate anything. I just installed the latest version of Buddy Press, the latest version of bbPress and BINGO everything that was showing in earlier versions was already there. The only problem was not having an index page which I explain in another post and was corrected yesterday.
Excuse the promotional post here but wanted to bring this to people’s attention as a great way to get your BuddyPress questions answered.

LinuxHello Im having trouble with the CSS with my buddypress. At first it looked like a simple fix and now i have invested two days chasing after this problem. I would really like to continue using this theme and change the css files. The problem is inside buddypress media on the members profiles all the lettering inside the songs list generated below is very huge and cuts off.
I was able to find in css where it allowed me to change the font size however any size i change it to cuts off the bottom half. I also noticed that its using H3 for its call out. That would explain why the lettering is huge and i was concerned that it could modify the text through out my site.I will include some pictures to see.
If someone could please tell me how to fix that it would be greatly appreciated. I have invested over two days and even imported the entire site to dreamweaver to fix it and couldent. Im fairly new to all of this so forgive me if the answer is simple and ive waisted 2 days of my life…lol
I can read the script and make changes, im having the most trouble with finding the locations. It loads the file and generates it on the fly in php but im not too familuar with how thats all done so it looses me chasing after how to fix this..Thank You For Your Time.
Only 1 activity item is showing for logged out visitors, unless you hit “Load More” – I want the page to be full of activity stream items for logged out users to show how active it is. Just 1 item makes it look really inactive.

Basic Trouble Shooting:
Before posting your question please run some essential trouble shooting.
These steps are essential to correctly identifying where the issue might lie and it’s essential that they are done in advance of any questions being raised, also running a search on keywords related to your issue might return previous threads that could help.1. Identifying whether you have a theme issue: Many issue are often custom theme related, it is important to determine if this is the case with your issue; to do this please activate a theme that is known to behave correctly with BuddyPress, that will be any theme that is in the default install from WP so choose either ‘twentysixteen, ‘twentyseventeen’ or a later one. Having activated one of these theme check again if you still have the same issue, if you haven’t then this tells us it’s theme related, and in the first instance you should contact the theme author for help. If no help is forthcoming from the theme author then certainly post a question on the BP help forum, but please bear in mind forum support is limited where third party themes are concerned.
2. Plugins: many issues are caused by plugins, especially where JavaScript is concerned to try and narrow things down deactivate all plugins non essential to BP functioning and then re-active one by one until the issue reappears.
3. BP Themes: Is the issue specific to the theme configured in Dashboard->Settings->BuddyPRess->Options?

Hi!
I need help finishing a Buddypress site. I am a fairly experienced php/wordpress developer but this is the first time using Buddypress and I need help finalizing some of the more advanced features.
http://vettingzoo.definitionad.com/
Setup:
(Most plugins are up-to-date by todays date 4/3/2013)– WordPress 3.5.1
– Buddypress 1.6.5
– BP Media Plugin 2.7.5
– BP Media Kaltura Add0on 2.0
– GEO My WP 1.7.1
– BP User Account Type PRO 1.0.3.1
– Custom designed Buddypress themeThe site is essentially a Job/Service directory site a la “Angie’s List”. The twist is that users can send vendors questions and Vendors, in turn, reply with video replies to the user. If a user wants to proceed with hiring the vendor, they “vet” them which is like making a friendship connection that can then be displayed to other users. The more “vets” a vendor has, the more you should be able to trust them. There is no reviews on this site.
Using BP User Account Type PRO, I created two types of users, regular users and vendors. I then used GEO My WP with Buddypress integration to allow users to search for vendors by zip code/category.
Need:
1. Ability for users to “vet” (make connection) with a vendor and then have the ability (via a function) to pull how many times a vendor has been “vetted”. Ideally, this is its own separate function than “friends” but if the quickest way is to re-purpose “friends” then I’m fine with that as long as we can restrict it to only friending/vetting vendors since that’s the important part. Users shouldn’t be able to “vet” other users. The vet button should display on the vendor profile page but ideally, this is built in a way where I can call a function and plug in the “vet” button into other templates.
2. I need to modify Buddypress private messages to be able to include videos. Right now, it only allows for plain text messages. The idea is that if a user poses a question to a vendor that requires specific and personal answers, it should go only directly to that person as oppose to just posting a video on that vendor’s profile. Keep in mind, videos are being posted using Buddypress Media plugin and we purchased and installed the Kaltura add-on to make sure vendors can upload any video type and have it convert to the right type.
Goal:
I am looking for the main features/functionality to be developed, any css/styling/design that needs to be done, I will take care of.
Budget:
Looking to keep development cost between $300-500 but I’m flexible. Hopefully a skilled Buddypress developer won’t find these additions too challenging.

Topic: Notifications and happenings
Hi,
Assuming we are able to eventually get BuddyPress 1.7 working with our theme, we have a few very important questions that we would like to have answered if possible.
BuddyPress would be a very important addition to our site if we can make some of the following
tasks workable.We have a 45 question member technical profile that is required for joining our Association.
1. Can we have a profile this large?
2. Can it be broken into parts so it doesn’t look so long, maybe filled out little by little?
3. Can we select all the fields to be searchable if we wish?Hello, this is the first time i have downloaded a forum/community plugin to my WordPress. When i installed this plugin i had an impression this will work almost like any other plugin out there, similar to “blog” and use my current theme template. Unfortunately because of the share size of it’s functionality and featured I realized BuddyPress created it’s own theme and it is fine, but my whole purpose of it was to use for a button called “Support” so users can request an assistance when needed or use the forum for our internal use away from public eyes. How can i create a different directory on my site so it does not interfere with the look and feel of the rest of our website for discussing internal issues, etc.? So i just can create a new page let’s call it “Support” and redirect it to the installation of BuddyPress plugin. I hope it makes sense what I’m trying to achieve here, if not feel free to ask clarifying questions. Thank you all ahead of time.
Hello!
I have two questions, I do not need the whole solution but a nod in the right direction would be really awesome! I have some knowledge of php and some java.
1. I want get comments from posts in the activity stream. Today, all the comments made on posts (i.e. on events and other) are not displayed in the activity stream which make some of them go in unnoticed. Is there a way to include an exerpt of the comments?
2. I want a notification system like the one on facebook, where messages and mentions are displayed with count in the header. I know this is displayed in the “admin menu” in the top right corner where it says “Howdy, nickname”. How do I call the function in another div?
Im am very greatful for every answer and, as mentioned, a nod in the right direction is very a appreciated.
