Hey Paul, thanks for responding, I appreciate your help brother.
I’m using a modded version of Elegant Themes’ Lucid that I’m in the process of styling for buddypress at this very moment. Though, even when using the default bp theme that comes with buddypress, I have the exact same issues.
If you have any other questions for me, I’ll be happy to answer. I appreciate your help in advance.
Also silently asking for an update on the achievements plugin, I had the same errors that others were mentioning to you on the WP 3.5 upgrade the other week.
No it’s not. I didn’t notice that you wanted those sidebars outside the wrapper.
I have provided some basic instructions at http://pastebin.com/vtdLX2pM
Adjust widths to taste. At this point I leave you with link to good tutorial on adding sidebars to theme http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress
For questions on how to improve layout, please post at WordPress.org forums.
If you have questions on the achievements plugin, this is not the topic to do it in.
Closing this topic, since it’s long since fixed.
Sorry I meant to mention this takes care of only number one of all the questions in your thread.
Actually, to answer some of my own questions, it seems item_id is only the group id for a first message (which these types of message will always be).
secondary_id is used if there’s a reply/comment to a message, so for these purposes I can keep it as 0.
And the mptt values get updated with new replies and comments, so, again, for first messages such as the ones I’ll be inserting, a value of 0 for everything should be fine.
Would still like to know if there’s a BP function I can use to do the job though – and any potential pitfalls I might be missing. I am by no means an experienced coder…
Cheers
I know I’m new here and some of you guys might wonder if I’m going to keep posting questions lol this is really my only other question and will appreciate your help.
How do I remove the login/register/logout form from the right sidebar in the BP Columns theme? (I plan to use the Theme My Login widget there instead.)
Thanks,
Anthony
@mercime thanks for that.
But when I change the subject of the Activation Email it does not change anything. The subject is the same as before.
Also there is no option to send a welcome email. Only a welcome private message, which isn’t what I was looking for because I wanted to provide them with their username and password in the email (and obviously they’d need that to login and see the private message).
Is there any other ways to get this done?
Hello,
When users sign up for an account they get sent an activation email, but it has the subject “[BuddyPress] Activate Your Account”.
I’d like to remove the “[buddypress]” part from the subject. Can someone please tell me how to do that?
Also after they activate their account I want to send a welcome email that contains a welcome message and their Username and Password. Is there a plugin or something I can use to add that feature?
Thanks,
Ben
Hi JJJ,
Hmmmm…
This is my first BP site so please forgive the seemingly ignorant statements and questions 🙂
I thought that BP created the Member role when it was first installed?
It is possible that another plugin I use did, but I’m not sure…
I definitely did not add_role for Member myself…
So you are saying that BP never created a ‘Member’ role at any time (i.e. it is not a default role for BP)?
I just tested on the site. In addition to to not being able to see the WP Toolbar, the users with Role = ‘No role for this site’ cannot post activity, etc in BP (as I guessed since they have no Capabilities.
Ok, I’m getting this now and have some new questions.
1: How can I list all of the different blogs somewhere? Not necessarily most popular but all blogs in some form of list that people can look through.
2: How can I make some of the plugins non network? There doesn’t seem to be any option for making network available or not?
3: Same as above but for widgets.
4: I see that users can access their blogs once logged in, however, the network administrator needs to set up blogs for users. Is there a way to allow users to create their own blogs after they have registered?
5: BuddyPress – I installed BP from the network admin however, all of the plugins seem to be networked again? Is this so that blog owners can have the forums which are a part of BP or something else? I was wanting to make BP available only on the main site.
PS: I realize some of these questions are WP so no requirement to respond on those and I can post them there. Just figured I’d ask 🙂
Don’t worry, that was my final question for you guys.
You can be mad, or you can have compassion for the umpteen other fires we put out on a daily basis. Repeatedly pinging us to answer questions for you, that you could answer yourself by checking out trunk, doesn’t help us get 1.7 released sooner, it only makes us your search engine. 🙂
I have a few questions that I need answered about Buddypress.
WordPress version: 3.4.2
BuddYPress version: 1.6.1
Site: http://members.gapzip.com
We have a membership site that includes the following:
-Wordpress Woo Canvas Theme
-BuddyPress
-S2Member
We want to split our community into 2 separate communities using Level-1 and Level-2 access for specific members.
We ultimately want to create 2 different member experiences using 1 website. Is it possible with BuddyPress to:
1. Redirect members to their own homepages based on their membership level (1 or 2)?
2. Make BuddyPress plugin only accessible for Level-2 S2Members?
Does anyone have any suggestions? We are looking for a solution without having to create an entirely separate membership site.
Many thanks!!
Going back to your first post, anyone who creates a group is the admin of the group by default (no plugin needed) so therefore has admin rights including setting privacy level to uploading avatars and promoting member/s of the group as co-admin or moderator/s among others. You should answer questions posted above, otherwise flying blind here.
i believe it is (applies to both questions)
There are lots of existing examples on the internet and in the codex on how to integrate BuddyPress into an existing theme. Start there, and come back with specific questions when you have them.
@rickkumar You can run BuddyPress on single WP. Just contact webhost WP Engine about the Multisite issue.
Couple more questions:
Is there somewhere a list of various profile fields that can be added?
Is there any plugin that can help add various profile fields?
Thank you.
Thank you @ubernaut
My WPEngine hosting (Professional Plan) came with Multisite enabled.
Is it possible for me to just have regular buddypress site and disable the Multisite?
#1 there are a couple of options actually in your network admin network settings.
#2 you can also network activate the themes if choose.
#3 correct
#4 not necessarily if they understand css it should be fairly easy also depending on the built in them options they will not be able to “modify” the them files themselves
#5 buddypress certainly makes the whole site creation process more visible since a normal wordpress install doesn’t really do that at all (at least i don’t think it does).
#6 yes thats why they can’t do it only the network admin has the ability to add new theme/plugins.
#7 the only difference is the ability to admin their own sites but there are different settings to where they couldn’t even create them themselves (you’d have to activate any sub sites if you choose that option).
Hi,
I enabled the Multi-site and then installed the buddypress.
I am new and there is one surprise after the other, so want your help to understand the following:
1. Enabling multi-site on buddypress means that new members will get the option to have their own sub-site (on the subdomain of the main site) during the registration process. Right?
2. For each of these new subsite, we have to manually activate the mainsite’s theme for the members to use for their subsites. Right?
3. The members will get the option to then login to the backend of their subsite/theme so that they can modify the looks of their subsite/blog etc. Â Right?
4. It won’t be easy for the new members to edit/modify the theme unless they are very familiar with wordpress and know what they are doing. Right?
5. Is it a good idea to enable multisite on buddypress given all the above difficulty for new members to create, edit, and maintain their subsites?
6. Is there a security risk to the main site if all the members are allowed to create and edit the themes for their site from the backend?
7. What are the advantages of allowing (“Multi-site” on the BuddyPress) Versus (just BuddyPress withOUT Multisite)? Is it better to just go BuddyPress and no multisite?
Please share your experience so I can make a better decision.
Thank you very much for your help.
It helps a great deal. I have definitely decided buddypress is for me. I’ve built several wordpress sites and it’s a no brainer now. Sorry for all the noob questions. More to come has I dive deeper in.
Boris,
I have a few questions. I really like what you’re offering in Shabushabu and have questions about utility.
1. So this map can be added to each user profile to correlate to their location. Can you set it to private?
2. On your events plugin can you set the event geo tag to correlate with the profile. Meaning if you have a profile search event, to create begin and end point for instant navigation.
3. Is this offered to the US? I’m not sure what the prices are for us here.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
