    Nope, never got a notice to go through the upgrade wizard… The main thing I am worried about is xprofile data, there is like 5 groups with probably 40 profile questions, as long as those will stay in tact, thats great.

    I always backup through backup buddy – great plugin

    I’ll keep you guys posted on the results.

    @pawriter you need to post these types of questions to the respective plugin groups to get support:

    Hello,

    Most likely you have installed a plugin for adding posts ( one click post Maybe)

    Here is how to get rid of that error.

    1-open you PHPMyadmin ( your MySQL database from your hosting control )
    2-Look up a table called “wp_bp_notifications”
    3-in that table look under the column “component_name”, delete the entire row of any field you find empty under that column

    This should fix your problem, please let me know if you have any questions

    Hi guys,
    I am having a problem! When editing a users profile, I click “save changes” and the page simply reloads and no changes take effect, this also seems to be effected on almost all BuddyPress forms(messaging, etc). I am using Gravity Forms for user registration, so users can still sign up that way. I have also tried on the default BP theme.


    – Here are some of the questions to what you guys would like to know…
    – I am running the Latest version of WordPress and BuddyPress
    – WP is installed in the root
    – I did just recently upgrade both WordPress(3.X.X to latest) and BuddyPress(1.2.9 to 1.5.5)
    WordPress was functioning fine before upgrade, the issue was there before the upgrade, which I hoped was going to fix the problem
    – Running BP 1.5.5
    – Upgraded from BP 1.2.9
    – Other plugins installed are: Advanced Custom Fields, AutoChimp, BackupBuddy, BP Blog Author Profile Links, BP Chat, BP Members Avatar Map, BP User Profile Map, BuddyPress, BuddyPress Album, Front-end Editor, Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types, Gravity Forms Directory Add-on, Gravity Forms User Registration Add-on, Lightbox Plus, Members, Remove Dashboard Access for Non-Admins, Simple 301 Redirects, The Events Calendar, The Events Calendar Pro, WordPress Database Backup, WordPress SEO, WP-Users Online
    WP Hide Dashboard, WP Maintenance Mode
    – I am using a custom theme, though I am getting the same issue on default BP theme.
    – I have not modified WP or BP core
    – bp-custom.php includes only “define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”,”profile”);”
    – Not running bbPress
    – Do not have access to error log
    – Another agency is providing hosting for our “joint client” and they dont like to give us access to anything, I have FTP access only.

    Let me know if you need anything else!

    Good Afternoon,

    Sorry to ask such a generic question and I feel so stupid to ask but to be honest, I’m finding using these Support forums quite stressful / frustrating.

    I have posted a couple of questions here but cannot work out how to find the posts to see if anyone has responded. If I search using the field at the top it appears to provide links to lots of articles but not my posts. I cannot then find a search box within the forum itself.

    Appreciate all your help and maybe if someone replies, could you message me too as I probably won’t be able to find this post either !

    Really am sorry for missing a trick!

    @mercime thanks for the response. To answer your questions:

    WP version = 3.3.2
    BP version = 1.5.5

    Hosted w/Hostgator

    I went through the Installation Wizard, step-by-step and confirmed everything. I performed and confirmed each step several times.

    Site URL: boostego

    WP Theme = Themefuse: Sportedge

    I did not install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin to make the theme compative with BuddyPress. I’m not sure of what the steps would be to “fix the HTML structure of the BP template files”. Could you please elaborate? TIA..

    Thanks so much for your help! I have begun to explore the drop down menu strategy, however I don’t know how I will manually enter 230,000 schools into the drop down field. Is there a way to do this quickly? For example, perhaps I can just upload the entire list somehow? Thanks again!

    Hello, im going to tell you a quick easy way to do step number 1.
    Create a field called School or w.e you want to make it and make a drop down field of all the schools that you can think of.

    I would also download buddyprress-better-directory ( it may not scale well with your theme depending on what theme you are using )

    so now onto question number 2. As I said for your answer for number one, using the drop down menu for the schools will make it easier to search rather then having the members type in their school. as far as searching for UNC and University of North Carolina, Im sure the search would list all the UNC first, then list the University of North Carolina,

    I would also suggest installing s2Members (plugin) and follow the steps to help make your buddypress/wordpress more secure,

    @vuiet914

    Best of Luck,
    Ps, this is just a suggestion and it really isn’t a FULL answer to your questions.

    Hello! I am a WordPress newbie trying to create a social networking site for a niche group with Buddypress. I would like my users to be able to display all colleges/universities attended on their profile, and for other users to be able to search for other members based on this information. I have two questions:
    1) I have a list of ~230,000 colleges/universities. Assuming this information can live somewhere on my WP site, is there a plugin that will automatically detect the name of the school a user enters and then auto fill the field so that it matches the school’s ‘standard’ name on the list? LinkedIn has a function like this, but I have no idea how it works on the back end.

    2) Is it even necessary that the school field be standardized as described above in order for users to successfully search for other members? For example, if one user reports that they attended “UNC” and another reports “University of North Carolina,” will the first user be as searchable as the second?

    I really would like to be able to compel users to use the standard names for consistency’s sake, but I’m not sure if it’s possible in Buddypress.

    Apologies if these questions are unclear or misguided. I am a total beginner! Thanks for your help!

    I have numerous issues with my installed buddypress on http://lakasmuhely.hu and I cannot find answers to my questions anywhere. I am not a pro but I do have the time to research, however when I find literally nothing under the getting started section or can’t even search the forums on this site I just feel I should give up on buddypress. My problems so far:
    – cannot upload avatar for a user although the first notification says it was uploaded successfully
    – cannot properly see the “add friend”, “send message” buttons because they are too pale and can not be seen
    – adding a friend prompts the “there was an error” message although adding friend happens allright
    This is how far I got with testing buddypress please let me know if I could find answers to my questions. Thanks

    1. WP Version 3.3.2
    2. Directory
    3. Root
    4. No WP Upgrade
    5. WP Working fine prior
    6. BP Version 2.0.2
    7. Fresh install
    8. Too many plugins to list
    9. Standard BP themes
    10. No Core mods
    11. No custom functions in bp-custom.php……

    OK enough of the questions that really go further into things than need be.. I might as well just give people access to the site and let them find the answers themselves at this point.

    To my point. I was going to install both group and sitewide forums. I installed both then changed my mind and decided to go with simple sitewide. Now the group forums will not uninstall. It says it does but if I go to another page and come back to it it once again has the option to uninstall and my forums link that went to the sitewide forums now goes to the group forums.

    Forgive me if I sound a bit terse but I’m finding support on several issues and plugins associated with BP to be dismal at best and am extremely frustrated at this point since this all should be a very simple process. And if one more “support” link sends me to buddychimp I’m just going to scrap the whole thing.

    Good Morning,

    I wonder if anyone has any suggestions as I am struggling to find a plugin but may be searching on the wrong terms.

    In a nutshell I’m trying to create ‘private’ fields on a users profile. So when they register to join the site, they complete certain questions which would be part of the ‘request to join’ process rather than the profile. Those fields would only be viewable by the user and the site Admins.

    Once the profile is completed the user would automatically be joined to a general group and then an Admin would reassign them to another group once processing the application.

    Any help would be very much appreciated,

    Thank you !

    Not familiar with bp-sidbar plugin as the requirements for adding sidebars and or widget regions with or without page checking is a relatively simple one.

    Not sure what you have done incorrectly then if you have tried creating a new sidebar region, added it as a call in the sidebar.php. It’s one of those questions that is impossible to answer without seeing the code really.

    All your requirements seem to revolve around creating specific widget regions and adding them to sidebar.php and correctly wrapping the block in an if ( bp_is_members_component() ) or bp_current_action() or something similar.

    @Hugo Thanks for the response. Reading this article and a few others, (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4907350/php-help-with-using-variable-inside-code) I have to close out the tag after author=

    I searched WP Codex in and out… How would I call or filter my query by the buddy press “displayed_user” variable?

    Thanks so much!

    Hi. I’m in the process of building a new wordpress powered web site and I’d like to incorporate a social media component. I have a multisite install running and I would really like some advice before going with Buddypress.

    As I understand Buddypress, it aggregates blogs from across your network and adds social media functions similar to Facebook. I also know that you can turn off the Buddypress features you don’t want to use which is an attractive element because I know I don’t need all its features.

    On my network, new users will not be blogging themselves on their own sites. Instead they will sign up to belong to my network and become members only. They won’t really be going anywhere other than the main site on the network. I know that statement might prompt you to wonder why I’m using multisite at all but I don’t want to bore you with the details of the project.

    Members on my network have the power to, among other things, read and comment on blog posts. I would like my members to have their own profile pages and the power to form their own discussions or interact in other facebook-esque ways (status updates/likes/etc…). However, much like a traditional blog I want the articles written by myself and guest contributors to aways be the center of attention on the main blog-page.

    I’ve looked at a pluggin called Mingle and it seems to accomplish what I’m looking for but I get the impression that Buddypress really is the premiere social media engine for WordPress. Also, Buddypress needs its own theme and Mingle doesn’t which does make me a bit hesitant to go with Buddypress.

    My questions are:

    1. Even though my users don’t have their own blogs is Buddypress going to give me the functionality I
    described above or should I go with something less powerful like Mingle?

    2. Can anyone recommend a buddy press theme that would present my articles, front and center but still allow for the other social media type features I’ve previously described?

    Thanks in advance so much for your help. This is a major facet of my new site and I’d really hate to get it wrong.

    We’re running WordPress 3.3.2. After upgrading BuddyPress to 1.5.5, some of the functions in our WordPress plugins have stopped running if they hook WordPress’s “init” action. For example, in this code:

    `error_log(“one”);
    function foo() {
    error_log(“two”);
    }
    add_action(“init”, “foo”);
    error_log(“three”);`

    the strings “one” and “three” get written to the error log (proving that the PHP file is being loaded), but “two” never happens. This problem is also mentioned on StackOverflow:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9895881/buddypress-wiki-component-action-on-init-not-called

    Any ideas how to debug this? Or is it a known bug? Thanks.

    Deactivate BuddyPress. Is activation email sent/received if you deactivate BuddyPress?

    I want to use BuddyPress to allow commenting on Posts on a WP website (dedicated to outdoor rec). I have two questions:
    1. Can it be installed as a module that shows up at the bottom of Posts? (Like FB or Disquus.)
    2. If so, can Commenters attach photos?
    Thanks all!

    Hi,

    I have a couple of questions about buddypress. I’m using wordpress 3.3.2 and Buddypress 1.5.5. I’m also using the Fusion theme from mysitemyway.com. Here are my questions:

    1) How do I remove the “All Members” activity stream?

    2) How do I move the “My Accounts” plus sub nav and “Notifications” and place them on the main navigation menu?

    The register form appears to be displaying when I visit the link?!

    I’m afraid that you are asking theme specific questions and this support forum is really geared to buddypress itself and it’s default theme. Salutation does a have support forums and asking there will get you a far better response also they will have guides that you should read and follow.

    The top tabs are accessed from /wp-admin/themes.php?page=sidebars-top-tabs you need to also do something about adding their behaviour in the Appearance > widgets page

    I’ll say thanks in advance! Here’s the scoop. I have a family and friends site (BP WPMS) some of it can be open with registration necessary, and other parts will be hidden or private. Am using BuddyPress Groupblog to associate the private blog with the private group (successfully) BUT on the homepage I have/had a listing of the blogs on the site which leaves the private blog open as it is a secondary blog not the main one.
    Question #1: Can I use Multisite User Management to set the permission on the private blog, if so, how (and please be specific…my brain is fried!) To me it seems that the subscriber level would give subscribers to the main blog access to the private one as well. Any other ideas are welcome as well.
    Question #2: Does anyone know of an easy way to protect a text link going to the homepage of the private blog? That should work as well.

    I can just go through the Group panel but none of the others are that way but I can do it if that is the only option.

    While we are asking compatibility questions… with the groupblog plugin, will any of the group hierarchy plugins work????

    Thanks in advance guys! I appreciate it!

    @abbas667 there are indeed some who have not succeeded in installing group forums but there have been many many more who have successfully gotten their group forums plus sitewide forums going for old and new installations.

    What we’re doing now is troubleshooting to see why it’s not working for you and how to resolve this. I can empathize with your situation and frustration, but in order to assist you, we need to know the answers to the questions I posted above – WP/BP versions, hosting, etc.

    You should also check out – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

    Then, to enable forum in each group – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#forums-faqs
