I’m a longtime WP user, but a BP newbie with some general questions about using BuddyPress and Multi-Site. I want to use BP on the main site of a multi-user installation. When I do that will my BP users have all of their activity tied together from the entire network?
Once they log in will they be able to do the following and have this activity show up in their activity streams?:
Comment on the main site
Comment on the subsites of the Multisite network
Comment in a BBPress forum on the main siteAlso, if anyone can point me to any good guides or blog posts on bp + multisite, I’d love to read more about it. Thank you!
Topic: Theme styles and search bar
Hi all, thanks for being so helpful, so often.
On my site, http://occupyeugene.net, I’m using a custom child theme of bp-default. I have a few more questions.
First, I’d like to give the active tab of the navigation menu the following styles: I would like the text to be the same color as in the other tabs, and I would like the background color to be dark grey. I cannot figure out where these styles are set. What code do I need to accomplish this?
I’d also like to move the nav menu out from within the header image… Is there a way to make the menu underneath the header image on its own? I imagine a grey rectangle extending the width of the header with the links inside and perhaps separated by vertical lines or something. How might I do this?
Finally, the search bar within the header seems to be malfunctioning… it seems that as soon as you click in the form field to enter text, it loads an empty search. How can I fix this? And, how can I change the options listed in the dropdown menu, as well as add a site-wide search option? (I may also try to remove it, but I assume I can figure out how to do that if I know where some of the code is…)
Thanks, modemlooper. I think that would have worked if I tried to figure it out. User ‘aces’ posted a reply in another thread with the link below though. It was exactly what I needed
Hello, forum!
My blog page does not show any content (showing WPMU blogs not working) and I am definately responsible for that. Thus, I have deleted the Blogs page and created a new one.
How can I link the new Blogs page to public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-blogs so that WPMU blogs start appearing in the page? If that is not what needs to be done, what exactly should I do?
Any response is appreciated. I wish to thank you in advance for the time spent to answer my questions.
Cheers…
The URL is http://entreacting.com/
Activity, Groups and Members pages display on the menu bar, but Register does not? Also if I try and go straight to the URL (entreacting.com/register) it just takes me to the home page.
Also I cannot edit my user profile. when I click me name on the right it takes me to “Page not found”
Ill try and answer all the questions I think will be asked
BuddyPress Version 1.6.1
WordPress Version 3.4.2
I have installed BuddyPress fresh.
I am also using the default theme.
Settings > General > Anyone can register IS CHECKEDWhen I create a new topic in the Forum Directory, I am given the option to choose which Group Forum I would like to post to, which is great. The issue I am having is that unless you choose a group forum you will lose the entire post when you hit submit, which is frustrating.
So my questions is, can I set the default group to post to in the forum directory of buddypress? Or can I disable posting new topics from the Forum Directory?
Hello,
I’m interested in preventing users from entering more than some set character limit (say, 300 characters) in one or all of the custom profile fields I’ve set up. I’ve seen a few threads here and on StackExchange saying one needs to either use HTML or Javascript, but I haven’t been able to figure out exactly where (specific Buddypress files and line numbers) to make these changes. I’d prefer to limit characters on the user input side of things, not just let them enter as much as they want but limit how much I display.
Would some kind soul walk me through how I might do this, assuming out-of-the-box latest versions of WP and BP? I’m thinking I need to make changes somewhere inside buddypress/bp-xprofile, but haven’t been able to get anything to work… e.g.
– this StackExchange thread (http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/36159/how-to-limit-character-length-in-buddypress-function-output) doesn’t tell me exactly which files/lines to alter, so I haven’t been able to get its solution to work
– haven’t been able to figure out this Javascript solution (linked in another thread on this forum)–where to place the function and textarea code, and do I replace existing code?Pertinent specifics:
Wordpress 3.4.2, running locally via MAMP
Buddypress 1.6.1 (latest stable release) installed
Using the standard BuddyPress Default themeThank you for your help!
Hi BP community,
I have a bit of a conundrum and could use a hand! Permanent member identity within the community is important for my site, so users do not have the ability to modify their Display Name, and are forced to use the name they select at registration.
In order to have valid nicenames and URLs, BuddyPress replaces spaces or other special characters with hyphens when saving users to the database. If a user were to register as “John Doe”, he would need to login with the username “john-doe”.
While this is fine, and doesn’t cause any issues for the site, I do have to deal with a number of contact form submissions from confused users who are unable to login as “John Doe”. What I would like to do, is filter wp_authenticate (or somewhere else if appropriate) to grab a user’s submitted username and str_replace spaces with hyphens for them before the login request is processed.
I’ve tried my hand at filtering $username in ‘authenticate’ in a manner similar to the suggestion provided here:
Unfortunately I have not been successful, so any advice from the community on handling this would be awesome!
Thanks very much,
AndrewHi,
I’m trying to complete BP’s installation wizard but the 4th step, which is the “theme” page, does not load. It’s only showing a blank, no error messages or anything. I’ve tried ignoring this step and complete the installation wizard but my BP isn’t working properly. eg. Whenever I try to access things like BP’s Settings under the Plugin page, this message appears: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”
Does anyone have any idea what’s causing the loading problem in the theme page?
Background info:
1. Running WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.6.1
2. I’ve followed all the steps to installing BP
3. I’ve tried uninstalling and re-installing BP also.
4. All other plugins I am using appear to be working fine.
5. I’d tried deactivating all other plugins, but that doesn’t change anything.
6. I’m running a custom theme called Sahifa, and this thread was started since my questions about making BP compatible with Sahifa on another thread (
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/help-with-buddypress-integration-with-sahifa-theme-themeforest/) was deviating from the OP’s question.
7. WP is a directory install.Thanks in advance for the help!
I have read all of the topics similar to this question here, on wordpress.org and even on Google. I’ve tried dozens upon dozens of suggestions, but am still stuck.
My installation is WordPress v3.4.2 with Multisite using subfolders, BuddyPress v1.6.1, bbPress v2.1.3 using Groups and Sitewide forums.
The problem I have is that BuddyPress Group Forums will not display. The mydomain.com/forums/ page is blank. I’ve seen some people have included the bbPress shortcode in the Forums page and have said that fixed their problem. In my configuration, I have a Sitewide Forums button on my top navigation bar and it shows the sitewide bbPress forums correctly. I can go into wp-admin -> Forums and I can see all of the bbPress sitewide forums. I can add them, delete them and even post topics to them. Adding the bbPress shortcode to my Forums page just duplicates the forums I already have on my Sitewide Forums page.
From what I can tell, the rest of BuddyPress is working – the Activity, Members, and Groups buttons display correct pages. It seems like only the Group Forums are not working.
I’ve gone into wp-admin -> Settings -> Forums of my main site and changed the bbPress Forums Base to sitewide-forums. Also on this settings page I have BuddyPress Enable Group Forums enabled and Group Forums Parent set to (Forum Root).
In Network Admin -> Settings -> BuddyPress, I think I see a problem. Initially I had all Components enabled. On the Pages tab I don’t have any settings for the Forums page and so I can’t change it. Activity Streams, Site Tracking, User Groups, Members, Register and Activate. It just seems odd that I don’t have a setting for the Forums page. I’ve disabled and re-enabled Discussion Forums component, but still no setting for Forums page on the Page tab.
Logged in as admin on my main site (mydomain.com/) I can click on my username and it brings up mydomain.com/members/admin just fine. I see tabs for Activity, Profile, Sites, Messages, Friends, Groups, Forums and Settings. All of these tabs work and I can view/change data. There is no option on the Settings tab to enable/disable Group forums as I’ve seen some articles refer to. When I click on the Forums tab I am surprised to see that there are articles in Forum Topics that I created from within wp-admin -> Forums -> Add New.
Now I am confused… It seems that what I thought were Sitewide Forums are also being displayed in what I thought were the Group Forums and I’m starting to think I have not just one problem, but at least two!
What I am wondering:
1) There is a problem with BuddyPress that is forcing me to disable the Discussion Forums component in Network Admin -> Settings -> BuddyPress.
2) The theme I am using (Frisco for BuddyPress) is not compatible with a multisite configuration.
Unfortunately, I have only limited experience with either of these two things – multisite and BuddyPress et al. So I don’t really know how it’s SUPPOSE to function.
Questions:
Is anyone aware of a theme that is compatible with a Networked multisite (subfolder) configuration and also compatible with Group Forums AND Sitewide Forums? Or would you think Frisco for BuddyPress should be compatible?
Is anyone aware of a way of testing that I have both Group Forums and Sitewide Forums enabled and working without using the Frisco theme?
Exactly where do I add a Group Forum? Apparently wp-admin only allows me to add Sitewide Forums/Topics.
Any thoughts? Anyone have any bookmarks on articles specific to multisite install using both Group and Sitewide forums?
Thank you!
Hi
I’m working on a custom theme for Buddpress that I would like to extend with a few small features. But my initial excitement quickly toned down after stumbling in the dark with BP for a few weeks. So I decided to put my nose to the grindstone and study up wordpress theming – reasonably sensible since the basic implementation is reasonably similar, right? Hell I didn’t even know how to work with functions or what a loop is!
Anywayz, I haven’t touch BP theming yet but I have some ideas in the back of my mind that I would like to realize. But first some general questions:
1) This one should probably be available as a plug-in. I need a way to let users be able to upload a custom header-like image, like Facebook’s “cover image”.
2) Before I get going with BP’s theming are there any recommended tutorials for beginner BP themers? I’ve found a lot of good stuff for WP but BP seems to be a bit lacking. In-depth stuff would also be welcomed
3) How active is BP still? I’ve heard some rumors that it’s taken a bit of a nose-dive. I still see some regular updates so I guess BP is still here for a long time? Whatever the situation, I still believe I made the right choice with BP!
I have a number of other questions but these are for starts.
Thanks for your time!
Not sure if this is the right place, but:
I’m looking for a way to enable group decision making in BuddyPress. I’d like questions or proposals to be posted within a group and answers or replies to have the ability to be voted for and commented on.
I’ve done some searching and not sure if such a plugin exists, but I’d be happy to contribute towards development of one that could do this.
Cheers
Hello,
I need a good community platform. I m ! very familiar with buddypress that s why I hope someone can answer my questions:
What I m trying to build:
A user community which will be separated into groups. Each user will only be able to interact with users from his/her group. I will also need to allow certain users to see and interact with more than one group. Activity stream will be limited to the group. These will be some sort of moderators/administrators. I would like to manually specify these permissions. When I add a new user, I want to be able to add him/her to whatever group I want.
Allow users to input data which will be stored in a custom table and generate individual reports for each user based on that data. Reports will be in the user’s profile.
How many users can I have in buddypress before experiencing performance issues?
That s pretty much it. Can I accomplish what I need with buddypress?
Ciprian
@r-a-y thank you. No more bp-template-pack questions anymore come BP 1.7, only plugin-buddypress.php ones
BP 1.7 is going to be exciting, all these new shiny features in templates and forums and all that jazz! …. Errr, what am I saying? We need to create all those new codex pages covering the new features as well, gazooks, lol.
