Hi everybody,
Sorry for the subject – not enough room to describe what this is all about. I’m having issues with the way BuddyPress converts/displays date/time in various places. I have read everything I can find here on buddypress.org, but nothing has been helpful so far.
Here is the summary
* WP: 3.4.2
* BP: 1.6.1* Server setting for date/time is ok
* Straight WP handling of date/time is ok (i.e. new posts have the correct date/time, etc)
* date/time is stored at the DB in GMT in all cases (this date/time is always correct in GMT)* date/time is converted properly based on timezone for the BuddyPress Group forum topic itself. i.e. “user said 5 days, 8 hours ago:” – this is correct. (-5 for me .. EST)
* date/time seems to be converted twice (-10) for the corresponding BuddyPress Activity Stream record as seen by the end user
* date/time is not converted at all for the same Activity Stream record when viewed via WP Admin. i.e. the time is straight GMT from the DB.

Here are the details:
1). From what I can tell (I used shared hosting), the Centos Linux box that hosts my site has the date/time set correctly.
I asked them to issue the date command and send the result. What they provided was the result when logging into the box via SSH. i.e. “Sun Jan 27 10:45:24 CST 2013″. The server is hosted somewhere in the CST timezone, and the date/time was correct at the time this info was sent.
2). I am in the EST time zone. My WP general/settings/timezone is set to Montreal.
3). When I publish a WP Post (for example) everything is fine. The “published on” date/time is correct (in local / EST / Montreal time). In fact, everything to do with straight WP date/time related handling is fine. BuddyPress is a different story!
4). BuddyPress: When someone sends a private message, the time on the received email is one hour behind. I assume this can be explained by the CST server time and the EST timezone I’ve chosen in WP Settings/General/timezone. I can live with this – Or could change the timezone to the server timezone (chicago / CST).
This is where it gets interesting.
5). BuddyPress: When somebody creates or adds to a topic in BuddyPress Group Forum, the date/time is also correct. i.e. “username said n seconds ago” is 1 second after the update is made. OK.. But, the corresponding Activity entry shows 5 hours and 1 second ago. i.e. 5 hours in the past!
Looking at the Activity Table record via phpMyAdmin, the date is stored in GMT (i.e. + 5 hours as I am in EST).
Looking at the Topics Table record via phpyMyAdmin, the date is exactly the same – i.e. stored in GMT.
So, when the forum topic is displayed, it’s doing a proper conversion from GMT to local time (-5), but the Activity Stream page seems to be doing the conversion twice, and I end up with -10 hours from the stored time in GMT.
6). BuddyPress: Of course, when somebody just posts something to the activity stream, it always shows up as “username said 5 hours and n seconds ago” also. i.e. a -10 conversion from the stored db time which is in GMT.
7). BuddyPress: Finally, when looking at the Activity via WP Admin, the date/time on each entry is straight out of the DB – i.e. GMT time – No local time conversion at all!
If anybody can make sense of what’s going on, I’d really appreciate it! I will provide any information that you need and access to the system if required.
Best regards,
Mike.NOTE: I replied to another topic with these same questions here:
http://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-activity-time-is-off-by-5-hours/#post-151831
I’m not try to post this all over the place, I just want to make sure it’s in the right place!
Hello,
First of all – my WP ver. is 3.5.0 pl_PL, BuddyPress – 1.6.4. No other plugins except Akismet. Site is localhosted (still working on it).
My stupid questions are:
1. I would like to lock wp-admin for all registered users except staff members – something like here. On my site all users can manage their profiles using WP Dashboard, similar to BuddyPress account edit page, so I see no reason to keep it up twice. How to do that?2. I would like to create activity stream in user profiles, but without their “activity”, like status updates, activity comments or “Favourite” button. Just auto-updates like “XXX joined the group YYY” or “XXX started a forum topic”, etc… Which components should I turn on/how to configure it?
3. Look at it:
In this profile you can see that user became a registered member and posted an update – http://testbp.org/members/luxubu/
In this – only update and activity comments, no other actions – http://testbp.org/members/chirs/
And in this – nothing – “There was no activity found…” – http://testbp.org/members/klassicd/On what it depends?
4. As I saw, users can set their name beside their nickname. How to change it? (nick given at registration is automatically displayed name and users can’t edit it in their profiles)
Thanks for replies – it’s my first contact with BuddyPress.
See you,
GeekboyHello all,
Going to have a lot of questions. First though, after a person registers the activity stream is updated with the following:
User Name became a registered member 1 hour, 18 minutes ago
As you well know. Now, in the registration form I have included a Company Name. What I need to try and accomplish is to change the activity stream to read:
User Name from Company Name became a registered member 1 hour, 18 minutes ago
I spent hours trying to find an answer yesterday to no avail.
Thanks,
LeeHi All,
I played around with the demo site and installed BP on my XAMPP on a test site, everything went well but here is the scenario I am trying to accomplish.
I want to keep my WordPress (website) separate from BP, in other words, I don’t want BP to change anything in my website theme after installation. All I want on my website is to have a “Community” button/link that when you click, it takes you to http://site.com/community/. From that point forward, you’ll be on BP website for social networking purposes.
Here are my questions at this point:
1) Do I have to install a second WordPress core on a subdomain and install BP on that one? (this option will let me have a separate theme for my BP site which is great but at the same time it doesn’t sound functional because there won’t be single sign-on between the two sites, right?.. So if you are logged in (as a user, not a member) in http://site.com/ and if you click the “Community” button and land on http://site.com/community/, then you have to login AGAIN because BP won’t recognize you as logged in).
2) I read this article: http://codex.buddypress.org/user/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/ sounds like this article is suggesting a different rout, the only thing that I don’t understand is, the article says “Installing on a separate Blog”, does this mean, there will be one WordPress core (in Network Mode) with BP installed?
Can I accomplish what I want if I go with the second option? (mentioned in the article)
Thanks for you help.

I’d be willing to donate if I could at least know that something will be prioritized if more people donate towards it. 🙂
Like making it so that I can move topics from a site wide forum to a group.
I have been tweaking this and can’t seems to make it successful is there any guide on the full procedure on this because I have read hundreds of articles already and can’t seems to help me out on this problem.
this is what I want to achieve, my main domain is the host of the multisite and we have a subdomain sites that has buddypress installed, and that 2 subdomain needs to have both seperate buddpress.
because when I installed it on both subdoamin on my first attempt it both has the same content which is not what I wanted. it must have separate content but running on the same buddypress.
I have used the multi network plugins base on reading of some of the articles but when I create a group it just say “page not found” on both domains.
the PAGE NOT FOUND is the main problem how can I fix that?
here are some of my other questions
1. what is the updated multi network plugin out there in the plugins repository?
i am using this
http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/
http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/2. is MU-PLUGIN is still implemented on the latest build of buddypress (1.6.3)?
because base of the multi network plugin it needs to be installed on the the MU-plugins is it still required? or do I just need to install it on the normal PLUGINS folder?3. is `define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );` needs to be is the bp-custom.php when I want to have separate content on my buddypress?
because base on the codex this is only applicable if I want to have same content running on all site wide buddypress?4. on the wp-config is this code required base on my requirements?
`define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
//define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true);
//$base = ‘/’;
//define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘mydomain.com’);
//define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
//define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
//define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
//define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);`because on some articles it says again I need to remove the DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE and PATH_CURRENT_SITE
5. is domain mapping required? in this scenario and what is the difference of it with multi network plugin?
hopefully someone can give a great procedure I will definitely give credits on your guys for helping me out after this thanks in advance.
I really hate outdated articles still flying around the web giving outdated contents if this settings will be fix I will create an updated articles on this
I am developing a fresh site with WordPress (3.5)-buddypress (1.6)-bbpress (2.0-plugin) on local machine (so no link) and I have some questions I can’t find answer for, so here goes my first questions.
1. is the user login (form and in background) for all three components (wp, bp & bb) different or same (from admin and user/member point of view)?
2. If all three logins are different, I want a single login for all these (because, bp and bb are integral parts of the site) – is it advisable? Any possible security issues? How do I do it?
3. bbPress css integrates nicely with Twenty Twelve theme, but buddypress (theme made compatible with BP-Compatibility-Pack) components don’t. Do I need to change each and every BP component CSS by trial & error (with firebug), or is there a better option?
Topic: Using Buddypress Support
Hi, I keep trying to create a new topic but it doesn’t show on this support forum or in my profile.
I made a topic here instead if anyone could help:
Hello all,
My Name is Adam and I am very new to the WordPress/Buddypress scene. My experience with it has been outstanding. Its ease of use and many features makes this a valuable resource. I have some questions regarding WordPress and Buddypress integration. Once installed I will be running the latest version of both.
Allow me to paint my scenario then asks my questions. Please respond to all that you can. I can also be contacted directly via email at admcalvin@yahoo.com
Thank you in advanced!
I am creating a website that will be generating content (mostly articles) for specific categories. For sensitive reasons I will use bogus examples here. Some examples are Fashion, Design, Hair, Modeling etc… I want to integrate these articles with the social abilities of Buddypress. Providing the end user the ability to comment, post, share, re-post etc…
The site home page will consist of a custom page (not posts) where users will see an aesthetically pleasing overview of the categories. Once they click on the category to read further detail they will be asked to create a profile. This is where the Buddypress integration comes in.
The end user clicks on a category, and begins to fill out the profile questionnaire. Some questions would be, Age, Gender, Categories interested in etc… Once they fill this out they would be redirected to the page that they were originally interested in. At the bottom of the article will be a button for “My Dashboard”.
What I would like to do is to create a sort of Dashboard for the user that would provide the articles/posts per the answers that they filled out in the Profile Questionnaire. Hence if I chose Fashion and Hair, I could click “My Dashboard” and view those articles. I would like the end user to be able to change this content whenever they want. Remove/add cotegories etc…
In the broad sense of Buddypress I still want to use the Profile and Activity Streams. The end user could see new posts or other friends or groups activity, comments etc…
So with that my questions would be this:
1. Create a custom profile questionnaire
2. Setup the redirection once the questionnaire has been filled out
3. Create a Dashboard with content generated from the questionnaire
4. Setup notifications to notify the user that their profile is not complete. For example “Profile Setup” like add more categories or invite friends, add profile photo etc…
Again please answer all that you can. Who knows maybe there are plugins that manage these sorts of things.
Thanks again, I greatly appreciate the input.
