Topic: Cant update user profile
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!
Topic: Finding your own posts
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!
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. Thankssorry if i am asking a questions that has already been answered but
1)i will like to know how i can add Pagination to my buddypress activities or loading … when the number of comments gets to a specific number ….
2)how do i collapse my comment when it gets to a specific number
3) how do i create a mobile version of my site the default buddypress mobile does not work well with blackberry, and how can i change the theme of buddypress mobile plugin
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.
Topic: Private profile fields
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 !
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.
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!I shall bring a plus to the creators Buddy

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!
