1) Groups in buddypress are like ‘post types’ in wordpress, while you can deactivate it so that it doesnt do anything, it’s hardcoded into the core and the only way to remove it completely is by editing the core plugin.

Thanks for the reply @mercime.

1. I don’t have any groups registered, I just wanted to know if the functionality can be removed completely.

3. http://www.sweepbook.com is my main site, wordpress/buddypress is installed in a subdirectory, http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/. If I use the WordPress twentyeleven them, the logos redirect correctly to http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/.

1) Re: delete not deactivate

You can safely delete each Group you’ve created in each Group’s admin settings.
You can uninstall the Forums for groups in dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > uninstall group forums.
You can uninstall Sitewide Forums in dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > uninstall sitewide forums.
Then, go to BuddyPress > Components > remove checks for User Groups and Discussion Forums

2) Re: if you look at my site http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/ you will notice the menu items are on top of each other

– I don’t see that in your site. So it’s either you’ve changed the theme to bp-default theme or you’ve decided to use bp-default’s custom menus to organize your links.

3) Re: The logos on my site, redirects to http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this

– Right now I see that you have HTML pages at domain root http://www.sweepbook.com/
~~So where did you install WP/BP, in subdirectory rate-this?~~ and the redirect is to
redirect is to http://www.sweepbook.com/sweepbook/rate-this/ .
WP Settings > General > Site Address URI/WordPress Address URI was changed without proper checks and this is not a BuddyPress issue at all.

Hi,

I just installed buddypress and have the following question if someone could please assist me?

1. I do not use Groups and the forum on buddypress, can this be deleted instead of just deactivating it?

2. I have a problem with my menu, if you look at my site http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/ you will notice the menu items are on top of each other, I would like to have it horizontal as per the original theme, it just changed for some reason??? I have also tried custom menu, but that did not work either.

3. The logos on my site, redirects to http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this and therefore throws the famous 404 error, the URL is missing the / after rate-this. It should be http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/ instead of http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this. How can I fix this?

I am currently on Windows share hosting with GoDaddy. Thank you in advance.

Plese, perhaps somebody has already demanded for this, but it’s almonst impossible to search for something specific among thousands and thousands of forums, in this support section.
Is there a way to sort this out?.
It would be easier to find stuff, and perhaps it´d diminish repeated questions.
The search field in the upper bar hasn´t worked for me.
Thanks for your great work, as usual.

I found this script at, http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/15444/is-there-an-easy-way-to-move-the-wp-admin-bar-to-my-own-location

I’ve tried to implement it though I’m not having much luck. Should I be changing anything within which would allow buddypress to use it?

function wpse15444_wp_print_scripts()
{
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
wp_enqueue_script( ‘wpse-15444’, plugins_url( ‘wpse-15444.js’, __FILE__ ), array( ‘jquery’ ), false, true );

// wpse-15444.js
jQuery( window ).load( function() {
jQuery( ‘#wpadminbar’ ).appendTo( jQuery( ‘#wpse15444-admin-bar-container’ ) );

Single WP install, sure. Just add the categories from backend and users can only choose from the available categories.

If you’re talking about categorizing a multisite blog, you could use something like this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blog-topics/

Or if you’re looking to create categories in main site which are automatically added to new subsites of multisite install http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/12201/wordpress-multisite-global-categories

aces
Participant

For a few individual pages you could just add redirect rules, a line per rule, to your .htaccess file – something like:

`
Redirect 301 /oldpage/ http://domain.com/newpage/
`

The old page address is from the site root (the same as the htaccess file) the new address has to be from http://

Topic: Is BuddyPress suitable for a large-scale, social network with custom authentication and content moni

in forum Miscellaneous

Dave McClintock
Member

Hi,
We are building a system that includes social networking features for a specific target audience, and has a proprietary set of authentication and protection features. I have some questions about whether we could build it on this platform:
1) We need to overlay additional user authentication features – such as biometrics or additional personal questions, conditional on login circumstance/conditions (e.g. new IP address or PC, etc.). Is it possible to customize the login requirements/steps?
2) 3rd party monitoring: Each user may have a 3rd party who can view their activity, (but not post). Can this be supported, or could we adapt to support this for our use?
3) realtime system monitoring – We’d like to integrate realtime filters and monitoring on content (think automated/assisted moderation). First layer is automated, with escalation based on incidents/filter results. Is this possible?
4) Will it support mass market scale? What are the biggest buddy press installations thus far? What tweaks are required to make it work? (e.g. what Database?). Can it go up to 1M users or more? Can you also provide an estimate of the server requirements for each of these scales?
5) We are seeking a development house (e.g. consulting firm) to implement our changes and install and maintain this app. Can you make recommendations of firms who have implemented this before?
Thanks,
Dave

Topic: Is BuddyPress a good alternative to Elgg?

in forum Miscellaneous

Aelfgifu
Member

Hi, there!

Last May, when I was young and inexperienced in the ways of social networking software, I started up a social networking site for homeschooled teens, using Elgg social networking software. Elgg worked out well for several months, but in the last month I’ve absolutely come to my wits’ end with it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice software. However, it’s just too hard on server resources and is using way too much of my limited spare time. After my Elgg site started repeatedly crashing due to overusing the maximum amount of MySQL connections alloted to me, I found out that I either have to switch to a different software, or purchase the $70 a month ‘VPS Pro’ hosting from my webhost. As you can probably imagine, a social networking site for homeschooled teens simply does not make enough money to justify a $70 a month hosting bill. For those reasons, I’m considering switching over to a software that’s not quite as labour-intensive/hard on the server. BuddyPress seems to meet these requirements, but I have a few questions before I can decide whether or not to use it.

First of all (and this is the question I wish I’d asked when I started with Elgg), would BuddyPress/Wordpress require VPS hosting, with only about 150 members in all and generally a maximum of five (though usually more like zero to two) users online at any given time? (Of course, I won’t mind upgrading to better hosting when my site gets larger, but for now I can only afford about $25 a month, maximum.)

Second, is there any simple way someone who’s not terribly skilled at PHP or MySQL (like myself) could import user data (i.e. member login data, blog posts, groups) from Elgg to BuddyPress? This isn’t extremely important to me, as my site members should be alright with moving their accounts over to a new site by themselves, but it would be nice if this were possible.

Lastly, is it difficult to learn how to make plugins and themes for BuddyPress? Would the documentation be very hard for someone who’s just a bit more than a beginner with PHP and MySQL to understand?

Thanks in advance for your help! I’m really liking the look of BuddyPress, and I hope it ends up working out for me!

Topic: [Resolved] Ray of Light WordPress Theme issues

in group forum Installing BuddyPress

centennialchristianchurch

Hi. I currently am building a church website and I am using the the Ray of Light by Orange themes.

What I have done is made a test website to see if this theme would work with BuddyPress but it does not.
I have installed the BuddyPress Theme Compatibility and ran this with the Ray of Light Theme and this broke the theme (Go here to see what I mean: http://buddypress.centennialchristianchurch.com/activity/)

So I contacted Orange Theme with this response:

Hi. I have purchased your WordPress Theme Ray of Light.

I currently have a church website that uses this theme. I do love your theme and wanted to add a social network feature as well.

I currently am using Mingle for the social network, but this plugin has so many bugs I want to switch.

I want to use BuddyPress. I am told this is a great plugin that fits my needs for a social network.

The issue that I am having is the Ray of Light theme is not compatible with BuddyPress.

So I use the BuddyPress theme converter and when I did this and go to a buddypress page, the site theme breaks, here is an example: http://buddypress.centennialchristianchurch.com/activity

Now this website is just a test site for getting buddypress to work.

So I was wondering if you could make me a Ray of Light theme that is compatible for Buddy Press so that I can still have all the wonderful features of the Ray of Light Theme but also use BuddyPress so that the theme does not look broken like http://buddypress.centennialchristianchurch.com/activity

They responded with this message:

Hello,
Since plugin is integrated, it would be easier to edit plugin. Try contacting plugin support, and ask them help. We are not familliar with Budypress code, so we won’t be able to help. If plugin authors will need any help from us, they are welcome to ask questions.

I am creating a buddypress site. I am having a hard time figuring a few things out. I need to have two membership types: 1) user (buzzer) 2) biz-buzzers

The user is just a general user and can do just about everything except be in the biz-buzzers group and blog. The biz-buzzer is going to be a business that pays us (can pay online or offline) to be listed in the directory, be designated as a biz-buzzer, be able to blog, be a part of the private biz-buzzers group, and be able to use the biz-buzzer group forum.

My issue is what plug-in can I use to designate the 2 levels. I am giving 90 days free and a discounted membership to certain businesses and than to all other businesses it is one set price. How can I do this?

My other issue is how can I not show the biz-buzzers profile questions to just the general user? I only want the biz-buzzers group and options to fill out the biz-buzzers profile questions for biz-buzzers. I do want any user to be able to see biz-buzzers profiles. I just do not want everyone to fill out those questions.

Hope this makes sense. I really need to get this figured out because I want to launch the site by the end of the week. Thanks
