Hi all,
I just submitted a post in how-to and troubleshooting about 10 minutes ago. Then I saw the extensive list of questions I was supposed to answer when submitting the form.
I went to edit my request but couldn’t get back to it. I see the post headline and link in the list but when I click on it I get a message that says there are no posts in this topic.
Secondly, speaking as someone who spends many hours providing wordpress community support each week, I believe there is a limit to how much you should ask users when submitting a support request. There does come a point when a user is so turned off by the extensive list of questions that they don’t even bother submitting a request. Over time it hurts adoption. I think it’s important to find a balance of questions that help your support team be responsive and timely and helps users/customers feel like the “cost” of using your platform is not too high.
Perhaps you can separate this list of 15 questions into a short list of essential info, say 3 or 4 questions, and make the rest nice-to-haves for those that know how to find or deliver the information you’re after.
1. Which version of WordPress are you running?
2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?
5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
6. Which version of BP are you running?
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
14. Which company provides your hosting?
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?For my previous submission that I would edit if I could:
I am using WordPress 3.2.1, Buddypress 1.5.1Thanks for listening.

I didn’t feel this would work as a ticket as not directly related to the project but would like to get core dev and community feedback if possible.
I plan on working on a html5, mobile first responsive version of BuddyPress default. Ideally this would be a ground up theme taking the styling but redoing a lot of the styles.
Other ideas could be build in some simple theme options like Twenty-Eleven does. This was something @modemlooper suggested and is a cracking feature I think. I would like to underline this would not be a framework that is not at all the aim in this.
I can’t see it being a suggestion for a patch to default as some styles will have to be changed and ideally this should be done form ground up to make mobile first and updated.
A few questions though:
– Core devs, would a theme like this be considered to go into core or should it be done with a view to go in the theme repo?
– A more community opinion question: Would it be better to do as in the style of default or as a Skeleton theme little to no styling more of a toolbox for designers/developers?
– To that matter if it does take all the styling but isn’t a child theme is this ok to do? Links to the theme would be made of course but checking. It would not be sold it is purely to give back to community.
okay so I’ve done some digging and found – nav-menu.php
copied it to my child themes folder and created two seperate menus in my admin dashboard.I found this code for the menu config: here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu
`<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘theme_location’ => ‘logged-in-menu’ ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘theme_location’ => ‘logged-out-menu’ ) );
}
?>`
Am I getting warm..?If so, just two questions remain..
a) where in: nav-menu.php do I add the above code..?
b) Does the above code need to be wrapped at all..?
Kind regards in advance
Topic: Group Avatar not uploading
This is kind of a long problem because there is a history to it but I think I’ve turned it into a legacy problem.
I started out with WP multisite and BP 1.2.5. Back when I originally installed everything, there was a known problem with user avatars displaying in the comments in sub-blogs. It was simply a broken image path. After much searching, I found the code snippet below to straighten out the user avatar path and it fixed the problem.
`// Custom filters to clean up issues in WP 3.0 with avatar paths.
// Written by @theandystratton
function sizeable_bp_core_avatar_folder_dir( $path ) {
$items = explode(‘/’, $path);
$path = ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/uploads/avatars/’ . end($items);
return $path;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_avatar_folder_dir’, ‘sizeable_bp_core_avatar_folder_dir’);
function sizeable_bp_core_avatar_folder_url( $url ) {
$items = explode(‘/’, $url);
$url = ‘http://’ . $items[2] . ‘/wp-content/uploads/avatars/’ . end($items);
return $url;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_avatar_folder_url’, ‘sizeable_bp_core_avatar_folder_url’);`I have that code in bp-custom.php
I was able to operate for a long time with that bit of code because I wasn’t using BuddyPress groups. It turns out, with that code snippet the group avatars and user avatars get confused. If the numeric id for the group was the same as that for a user, then whenever the avatar for either one was changed then it would update for both. It linked the two together.
Because I haven’t been using groups, it wasn’t a big deal, but now I’m looking at using groups. I found a workaround by going into the database and changing the group id number of the most recently created group to an ungodly high number (1000001). Since I’m never going to get that many members on my site, now all newly created groups are id’d sequentially after that number. So now I think I’m fine, I should be able to upload group avatars without it affecting the user avatars.
Only it doesn’t work.
Uploading a group avatar errors out with “problem cropping…”.
I’m guessing that it is because I screwed up the avatar paths so long ago with that code snippet.
I tested by removing that snippet to see how things went and the user avatars went back to not showing up in the comments on the sub-blogs. Okay, that’s expected (sort of), so I attempted to upload a user avatar under the organic paths that are in BP 1.5 and it failed (I tried about 10 times to be sure).
So now I’ve got the code snippet re-enabled in bp-custom.php but I can’t upload group avatars.
Questions:
How do I fix this?
What is BP 1.5’s default path for user and group avatars?
If I manage to fix this, am I going to have to ask all my users to reupload their avatars?Gotta say, hello, and many thanks for keeping up a great community and most excellent code!
Okay, so, I’ve installed WP and BP successfully. I’ve worked with WP for some time now, so I understand about creating templates, mods, plugins, etc. But I’m kind of new to BP. So I came to ask for help…
I have BP installed with the plugin BuddyPress Registration Groups, which is ideal. Now, in BP, I’ve created a separate group of Extended Profile Fields, as is allowed in BP. It’s a great design for what I need, but I have an issue that perhaps someone else has solved and I have not been able to find (after exhausting search options…).
So, let me set the scene:
In my Ext Profile Fields, I have these two groups. The first group of fields is the standard Name, Sex, Location info. And in another group, I have individual information, such as questions I am asking about that person, like hair and eye color.
What I am trying to accomplish is this:
A new user comes to the site, goes in to register, and finds these fields. The stuff on the left of the registration page asks for e-mail and username, etc. Under that, I have (modded) the BuddyPress Registration Groups to be a dropdown box of the different groups I have created in WP. Now, when said user selects a specific group, let’s say “Adult Male”, the fields on the right (which starts with the Name, Sex, Location fields) should also “append” the other group below it. It could be AJAX, or it could be a complete page reload, which I agree, might just be aggravating enough for someone that just filled out the other bits of information. So, without saying, AJAX is preferred.So, the big question here is, “How do I tie the Member Groups of WP, to the Extended Profile Field Groups of BP?
Would anyone happen to know of something that currently does this, and only this? Or is there a feature I am missing here that should blatantly stand out and kick me in the head?
Many thanks to all you kind people for looking this extended post over. I hope I’ve helped to provide enough information.
Hi, I’m am interested in installing BuddyPress on my WordPress site but want to ask a couple quick questions before doing so, since there is somewhat significant traffic to the site and I don’t want to cause any large-scale problems that cause me to mess around with the site for the rest of the day.
1). I’m currently using the default Twenty Eleven theme. I presume I’ll have to change to the BuddyPress theme unless I do something special?
2). I currently have a plugin for Twenty Eleven which makes my widgets show up on all of my pages. Will this be possible with the Buddypress theme? Or will I have to play around with the source code?
Thanks!
I’m not sure if this is where to ask this (let me know if there is a more appropriate group) but I have some questions about the status of plugins. Where can I see:
– the most recent version of bp the plugin is known to work with. I see WordPress versions and I can tell it’s a bp version if I see 1.5.1, but eitherr som plugins don’t show the bp version or it’s not labeled clearly enough for me
– the most recent date a plugin was updated, to have an idea how actively the plugin is maintained
– Status updates on when a developer expects their plugin to be ready for the current version
I think it would also be helpful to filter a list of plugins known to work with a given version. Is using 1.5.1 in the search box going to be effective for that?
As someone new to bp and trying to figure out which modules to use, this would all be helpful. I assume it would also help when deciding when to upgrade a bp site.
Hello,
I was reading a lot of things about buddypress and this is fortunately a lot of things to learn. But there its something I couldn’t figure out and maybe someone can bring some light into my darkness.
I want to create a website that has general content and local content. I want to have a domain like gettoknow.com and a subdomain for every city. The FAQ, About and some other things are general and should inherit the content from the parent site. The child site should add some additional stuff. The theme should be the theme from the parent site. I would like to have a central user administration. The people should be able to use the other sites with the same login.
Is this possible with buddypress in an easy way?
In the forum there should be a part with the location specific stuff and one for the national things.
Greetings, Vanessa
Our buddypress sidebars are not getting css styles applied except on the activity page when viewing a post. I made two screen shots to better explain.
http://www.dancerbodyfit.tv/wp-content/buddypress1.gif – (Screenshot of /members/name/activity/) all buddypress pages look like this with the sidebar not having the correct widget title font size, no title bg color, too wide and below content body etc.
http://www.dancerbodyfit.tv/wp-content/buddypress2.gif – (Screenshot of /members/name/activity/18) Strangely this is the only page that does work correctly? This is what the sidebar is supposed to look like. But it only works correctly if viewing a post.
MY QUESTIONS: Why is this page different than the other buddypress pages. What file do I need to edit to get the sidebar on these pages to use the correct css?
Anything other forum threads I can find similar to this are focused on sidebar width, I’m sure this has more to do with it than that but can’t figure it out. Thanks in advance for the help!!
Hmm…not sure what went wrong with my last attempt at posting this. Anyway, lost all my text and don’t have time to type the WHOLE thing in again now.
I’ll start with just some questions this time:
1) Does anyone know if something changed between BP v1.2.8 and BP v1.2.10 that meant that posts to private groups no longer appear in the “All Members” activity feed?
2) If the answer to 1) is true – is there anyway to get private group posts back into the All Members feed?Thanks
Ross
