BuddyPress.org

So this only appears to happen in the Admin user’s profile fields. Okay, a few more questions:

1. What happens if you delete the “blah” data, save the emptied out field, and then reenter some data in that same field?
2. What happens if you create a new text field and try entering data? Does it also create links?
3. What happens if you delete that field then recreate it and enter data?

Carpconnect-

You have another thread here that is dealing with related issues. You never did respond to my last set of questions in that thread.

Finally, to answer your question above:

the plugins i am running are

BuddyPress

BPContents

Support

Signup TOS

Additional Privacy

All in one SEO

Simple Site maps

Upgrades

Invite

I would not have thought these would have affected user profile layout?

Yes, plugin conflicts can affect the way data is output to your browser. To debug this issue, you need to distill your environment down to the lowest common denominator. That means disabling all plugins except BuddyPress AND you need to be using the default themes that come with BP.

Do that, and report back here.

Here are links for these plugins

1. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-thread-comment/

2. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postviews/

wordpress-thread-comment needs some modification to work only with post author

Is it possible with this plugin to have the user actually choose from a preselected sub-list of what tags they want to add?

Example:

1. I create category ‘church affiliation’

2. under that category I create sub-cats like

-catholic

-lutheran

-baptist

-etc

The user then selects ‘baptist’ so the tag ‘baptist’ is added to their group/blog. Then I could create a widget to display all the groups/blogs belonging to tag ‘baptist’… that would make it really easy to sort the members.

The reason I ask about sub-cats is because I am concerned that if they put in their own tag I could end up with either misspellings etc that would end up ‘orphaning’ the group/blog from that category.

There are only a ‘short list’ of categories that I want to ‘force’ the user to choose from such as above. There are many other categories that I would like to add, where user input of the tag itself is preferred, which is obviously the way the system seems to work now.

I can see a ‘future’ where I could somehow tie the category questions to a page the user is presented with after registration like many other sites do. That way from the get go I can sort brand new groups/blogs properly.

We already have something like I describe above for the members profile itself, just curious if this would work for groups/blogs as I don’t seem to find the same type of category choices when creating a new group/blog

thanks again for such a great plugin. I can really see using this one a lot!

The simple answer is no.

The simple answer is yes.

You asked two diametrically opposed questions!

The privacy component derives the basic user data from the wp_user table, specifically the ID field. The BuddyPress xprofile tables all refer back to this particular field to relate their record-level data. So, in essence, there should not be any issue if you disable the xprofile component.

Ronia-

A couple moderators are currently working on a privacy control component that will effectively give users fine, granular control over who has access to which pieces of their personal data. It is a complex process.

So, the answer to your questions is that it is coming, be patient. It is not something as simple as a tweak!

A couple of questions:

1. What locahost environment (OS and server) are you running your install on?

2. Did you install the bpmember theme folder in /wp-content/bp-themes/?

3. Did you choose the BuddyPress default member theme, bpmember, in WPMU’s backed? You do this by logging into WPMU as site admin, then going to “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”.

4. Do you have a .htaccess file in the directory in which you’ve installed WPMU?

A guy from Stackoverflow had the solution

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948116/ajax-404-with-results-using-buddypress/957561#957561

Try adding this line of code to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-ajax-handler.php before do_action()

status_header( 200 );

Concerning your answers In this thread.

Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install? subdomains

Did you follow the detailed instructions in the WPMU’s readme.txt file about subdomain installs (listed under the heading DNS).

Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version? Yes,I upgraded wpmu when I upgraded bp to 1.0 (not sure what previous version of WPMU was)

This could be an issue. You need to follow a specific WPMU upgrade path. If you do not, you can have all sorts of issues. See these links:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WPMU

https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended

Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? 3 plugin widgets of my own that display posts from the database

…AND…

Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? customised themes

To help you figure out what is going on, you need to distill your install down to the lowest common denominator. This means stripping out all extra stuff and focusing on the barebones environment.

So, you need to deactivate ALL plugins except BuddyPress. You need to use the default themes that come with BuddyPress. If the problems go away, then it is related to your custom theme and/or one of more of your plugins.

Here are a few more questions:

1. Which hosting firm are you using?
2. Did you manually install WPMU + BuddyPress or use a one-button installer?
3. There have been a few changes over time to WPMU’s wp-config.php file. If you simply used an older file this could also cause problems. Always verify that the config file you are using is up to date by comapring it to the config file that comes with each, newly downloaded WPMU install package. Did you use the wp-config.php file that came with WPMU 2.7.1?

Granted my site is acting messy right now but I don’t think this is related to the plugin.

I use the FV Community News plugin to solicit community FAQs but instead of pushing questions to a “submitted news” page, I pull then questions and post them in a blog and then members post answers as comments. (I do this because the FAQs are supposed to be posted anonymously.) There’s a widget with the plugin, which makes it easy for people to submit their questions.

You can see it working here:

Hope that helps!

Welcome to the BuddyPress forums. Here are some resources that should answer your questions?

Sugarmindy-

A couple of thoughts / questions:

1. How many times have you reinstalled WPMU + BuddyPress?

2. Did you use the same MySQL DB each time or did you start with a brand new, fresh DB?

3. You mention in point 2 of your most recent post that you’re basically making a custom theme. You changed the code in leave-group-confirm.php. In my mind, changing any code in the default themes means you’re making a custom theme.

So that we can distill this issue down to the lowest common denominator, please select the default BuddyPress themes (bphome and bpmember). If you do not have unaltered versions of these default themes, get them and install them in the proper place. This way, we can rule out theme issues as a source of your problem.

Of course, Manoj is correct. I should not attempt to answer forum questions when I’m dog tired and about to hit my head on the keyboard. I read the thread’s title, not the post, and just thought, “Apache redirect option chosen when setting up domain at hosting company.”

Next time, sleep, then answer!

I just received this error while trying to install Buddypress on a fresh install of WPMU 2.7.1. I was using the “add plugin” feature so I assume that I am getting the latest version of Buddypress (1.0).

Per the questions above, I installed per directions and made no modifications except to move the bp_themes folder to wp_content as instructed. I opened no Buddypress files.

So it looks like this problem is alive and well. I’m at a dead halt with Buddypress.

You currently have the bpskeletontheme member theme enabled and active in your wp-content/themes directory.

Update: I just refreshed it now and it looks like you’re figuring it out slowly but surely. Let us know if you have more questions.

Pierce2, if you’re trying to change the colors of the included “Social Network” logo image in Photoshop, your best bet is to just alter the hue/saturation to your liking. Just filling the colors will make it look all blotchy regardless of anti-aliasing.

This isn’t a design forum, but since it’s BP related I’ll let it slide.

I’d also recommend using Firebug with Firefox. This way you can tweak CSS on a live web page, and then apply those tweaks to your CSS file and upload it once and be done.
