Dear BuddyPress,
Thanks for the GREAT plugin. I installed it from Trunk on 2/12/2103.
I’ve been playing with it and have decided i need to downgrade because i am beginning to get some traffic on my site. So i have 4 questions:
1. To what version should i downgrade? 1.7Beta, 1.6.4?
2. I am pretty new to WordPress although I have been a software developer for a long time. How do i do a downgrade of this plugin?
3. Do I have to delete dependent plugins like buddypress-docs?
4. Are there database implications?
Topic: User Date/Site Security
I’m using BuddyPress 1.6.4. My site is: http://www.vezera.com/test
To best protect my user’s data, I want to utilize the best security add-in’s possible. My two questions:
1. Should I use BP plugin’s or Hostgator’s tools? Hostgator’s security tools consist of: Password Protect Directories, IP Deny Manager, HotLink Protection, GnuPG Keys.
2. If you suggest that I use BP plugins, which ones would you suggest? My fear is that I don’t want to install multiple ones that override each other.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Topic: Theme Integration
Hi
I’m new round here. I represent a non-profit about to launch in the UK. We are building our site on WordPress using IThemes Builder and child theme to create our site. We want to add a social network to enable members of the various facets of our community (Groups) to talk about their experiences in our market and answer questions we pose to them. We figure BuddyPress would be a good way to go. We are not technical however so need something to work pretty much “out of the box” and look like part of our site by adopting our theme look and feel. I’ve seen the latest video about 1.7 release and this seems to point to BuddyPress working with any theme.
The question is does it work out of the box, do I just upload the BuddyPress plug in and follow the instructions? Do I need to touch code? (I couldn’t in any case !) We already have our site developed so does it just create what’s required by default? presumably we need to create some new menus and configure some stuff?
Some guidence would be much appreciated.

Topic: Two questions
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find a three column version of Frisco, a child theme of BP Default? Or how I can convert it into such?
Also, can anyone tell me how I can prevent a category’s posts from showing up in the activity feed (both user and site-wide)?
Thanks,
Nathan P.Topic: Auto Accept Friend Requests
Hi everyone,
Note: I’m offering a $50 bounty to anyone who can answer this question. This question is also active on WPSE located here
I’m attempting to create a function that auto accepts friend request in Buddy Press, the function is as follows;
`
function bp_auto_accept_friend_request( $friendship_id, $friendship_initiator_id, $friendship_friend_id ) {friends_add_friend(
$friendship_initiator_id,
$friendship_friend_id,
$force_accept = true
);friends_accept_friendship( $friendship_id );
}add_action(‘friends_friendship_requested’, ‘bp_auto_accept_friend_request’, 200, 3);
`The above function works by creating an entry in the wp_bp_friends table with a value of 1 for the is_confirmed column, however the default friendship request action is still being executed which adds an additional entry to the table saying unconfirmed.
`
id initiator_user_id friend_user_id is_confirmed is_limited
2 1 3 1 0
3 1 3 0 0
`So we have both a confirmed and unconfirmed entry for the same friendship. This means that on the user profile page it will appear as if you have both a confirmed friend and have a friend request from the same person.
The above function was adapted for simplicity from;
http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/auto-accept-friend-requests
There’s also this accepted answer from WPSE here;
How to auto-accept a friend-request in buddypress based on user meta
…which when adapted to my use case produced the same results described.
Any thoughts on how to prevent the default action? So far I can’t unhook the request…
Note: Currently using WordPress 3.5 and BuddyPress 1.6.4
Topic: Using BuddyPress
Hey,
I am looking at using BuddyPress for a project but it has the following requirements is it possible I am looking for something like Ning.
I need each member to need to be accepted before they are allowed to use the member only area – they need to fill out a few specific questions when they join is this possible?
I need to be able to have 2 dictionary style listings a-z etc would a wp plugin work?
I recently signed-up with WPMU DEV because they have very interesting plug-ins. What attracted me was their ads like “Submit feature requests and we’ll develop our plugins just for you”, “it is like having your own wordpress development team”, “Unlimited Q&A, live and manual support for any WordPress issue” in their join page. But as soon as joined, I realized that they only offer help with the usage of the plug-ins and they don’t really offer any customization help, and there is no real amazing community as they suggest because my questions were answered by stuff members, and they told me to find a developer for what I wanted. I thought their advertisements were very misleading and decided to quit. Now I am looking for a classifieds, and event management, bookings (appointments) plug-ins that work well with buddypress and they are not WPMUDEV plug-ins. Any suggestions?
Hello! So I’m almost done setting up buddypress for my new website! I do have a few questions and it’d be great if someone could help me find the answers.
I created a few custom fields (using Extended Profiles) for a user’s website and one for a short bio. Right now the entries for these fields are processed like tags, it seems. They are searchable in the the members directory. This great for hobbies and occupation, but not for the bio and website field.
I’d like the website field to link to the actual website (instead of to the buddypress directory) and I’d like the bio to be “linkless” (right now it’s linking to the buddypress directory). I need it to be plain text. Can this be done?
Then I’ve also got an issue with the fact that, on the members page, you can’t search using more than one field (name in combination with hobby, for example). There’s a topic about that issue here: http://buddypress.org/support/topic/cant-search-for-multiple-words-in-memory-directory/
Any help at all would be appreciated! Thanks 🙂

Dear All,

Hi,
I’ve been going round in circles for a bit trying to figure out a way of allowing users of a BP site to communicate easily with each other individually, and in groups, but also allow users who are NOT part of a group to message all members of a group.
Here’s the scenario – There are about 80 members of a community drumming band. These are all members of a group called ‘The Whole Band’. As well as this super-group, there are smaller groups, such as ‘The Dancers’, ‘The Committee’, etc, which are smaller sub-groups. We need a way to send email to everyone, to smaller groups, or to individual members, and have these messages stored for later retrieval or viewing through the website.
I need to find an easy way for members of a group to email all other members of a group, and was thinking of using the forums as the main repository for group messages (with one of the plugins installed to send out email alerts).
But I also need to allow people who AREN’T in a group to message all members of a group (and receive replies to their messages). I was thinking of creating a form on the group forum page which allows non-members to insert a new forum post, and I’ve managed to get this working, but I’m not sure how to ensure that the ‘guest’ poster will receive replies, or how to alert the group members. Also, I’d need to allow them to reply to replies – effectively continuing the forum thread, but without allowing them access to the whole group forum. (I’ve asked questions about this in another thread).
All in all, I’m just not sure whether I’m even going down the right track in trying to do it this way, and whether there is either a better email-based plugin I can try – though I have searched around for ways of sending emails to groups and haven’t found anything that allows it for non-admin users.
Or perhaps I should try installing something like fEmail (http://flourishlib.com/docs/fEmail) and try to plumb that in somehow?
If anyone has any bright ideas on the best way of getting this kind of functionality, I’d be glad to hear them…Cheers
