Hi @Bpisimone –
No worries – I’ve been using Filosofo Remove Dashboard plugin from wordpress. And I fixed the above issue by adding:
if (preg_match(‘#wp-admin/?(.*)?$#’,$_SERVER) && (‘index.php’ != $menu[$page][2])) //send everything packing
wp_redirect(get_option(‘siteurl’));Around line 53 – just below the index.php redirect.
Hope that helps.
Now.. back to our regularly scheduled GroupBlog question
OK. I know this is not inherent only in Buddypress, but is a larger philosophical question that Buddypress has the power to Revolutionize!:
What is the difference between an Activity Post, a Forum Topic, or a Blog Post? And I’m not talking schematic / programmatic differences, I’m talking at the basic fundamental.
To illustrate, let us play a guessing game. Which of the three am I describing?
1) A user submits some information / a story / a bit of news / a question
2) Other users respond with comments / answers / reactions / more questionsI find that many users to my Buddypress site (a captive / motivated audience mind you) get confused – posting forum topics in Activity streams, or blog posts in forums… Are they just plain ignorant, or are the unwashed masses just more enlightened than us system Admins? Are we trying to artificially create a difference where there is none? Or is the difference there – Buddypress is just not making it clear enough?
Permit me to add fuel to the fire —
1) I find Buddypress.org’s support forums to be virtually un-navigable. Compare that to bbpress, or even the WordPress support forums – which are clean, intuitive, and user-friendly (and in the case of bbpress, dying a slow death). So Buddypress is not a forum. But it has that potential.
2) Buddypress hides blogs in the sea of sameness — basically taking over your entire WordPress site and subjugating the blog to the needs of the community theming. So Buddypress is not a Blog.
3) Buddypress theming is so complex that only the brave dare tread there. Whereas I could bang out a unique wordpress theme in under an hour, Buddypress essentially locks you in to a handful of themes or days of tweaking…Don’t get me wrong. I think Buddypress is AWESOME! And has so much potential. I think, as others have pointed out, it suffers from an Identity crisis. So, what is Buddypress?
Buddypress is a VITAL but SEPARATE part of the blog community. Buddypress is a way to connect. It is NOT a blog. It is NOT a forum – but a way for Forum users and Blog readers to connect with one-another. So – why not take that idea, and put Buddypress in its own room – the cocktail party happening next to the lecture seminar and just down the hall from the AA meetings.
Proposal (largely a strategy of theming):
1) Blogs are blogs – let them look like blogs.
2) Forums are forums – let them look like forums (subjects, topics, you know… like forums)
3) Buddypress is Buddypress – when people enter the social area of buddypress- lets knock their socks off.But trying to mesh them all under one Tabbed upon sub-tabbed menu system only whitewashes the whole deal into one bland sameness. And confuses our users.
Discuss amongst yourselves. I think I posted this in the right place.

Topic: Random Logouts
After testing and deciding to go live with BuddyPress, I’m suddenly seeing a lot of problems that never happened during testing. The most frustrating of which is random logouts. I seem to be logged out every time I add a new group or forum topic. Beyond that, the logouts just seem to be random. I did enable BuddyPress on a different WordPress install, but the files/settings/version/etc match between the two environments. I always test first in on and then upload the exact same files to the live site once done. Has anyone else been experiencing random logouts? Any ideas where to start looking?
WordPress: 3.0.1
BuddyPress: 1.2.5.2I ran into a couple of posts about usng the Google libraries API on WordPress as a CDN… Where it supports:
?Dojo
?jQuery
?jQuery UI
?MooTools
?Prototype
?script.aculo.us
?swfobjectI installed this via the Google Libraries Plugin and it seems to be working fine. What’s your thoughts on using this in conjunction with Total Cache CDN? I read one article where it stated that using the both together further decreased page load speed….
Topic: New Install on IIS server
Has anyone had luck installing Buddypress on an IIS server?
If so can you help with my install? Tried three times no luck.
I have a complete and working install of wordpress on the same site and would like to put buddypress on a sub directory with its own wp install and database.HI I’m new to Buddy Press and WordPress in particular if you guys don’t mind check out this link http://www.animeexplosion.helihost.org is there a way to change the menu buttons example Home, Activity, Members to a color to match the banner? If so how what line of code should I be looking for to change? Also is there a way to change the alignment of those buttons?
I have a couple of issues.
1. we cannot get the sidebar appearing at the side of page content, in buddypress pages. It appears below the content. Have tried the fixes on here, to no avail.
Suggestions Please.
2. when we click on activity of any sort from the buddypress menu, it pulls the last wordpress post as the page title.
So example: say I am looking at: http://sitehelp.com.au/members/blue/activity/
Then the title tag gets used from last post we made.
Any suggestions.
Title tag for above link appears as so:ShineTime: jQuery & CSS3 Gallery With Animated Shine Effects The main issue is getting the sidebar sorted.
Also need to fix CSS because form fields are virtually invisible and the text is kinda skew wiff.Regards Blue. http://siteHELP.com.au/
Topic: Nothing works.
I have installed BuddyPress on my local machine for testing (PC with Windoze XP, Apache and PHP) I have been testing WordPress instillation on this machine forever and never had a problem. Anyway I installed WordPress 3.0 and then the current version of BuddyPress. I changed the permalinks as required (Changed to numeric) and then went to check out the instillation. The only thing that works is the home page. I can click on any link I like and all I get is a “Not Found” message.
Ideas anyone?
Topic: GroupBlog Plugin – User Role
I am experiencing strange User Role behavior with Groupblog:
I created a private (or public) group and group blog (with links to the blogs front end) with default role pairings (user=author, mod=editor, admin=admin) — the blog was created successfully, and invitations were sent out.
But my subscriber had only a subscriber role on the MAIN BLOG — When they try access http://www.example.com/blog1/wp-admin they get sent to http://www.example.com/wp-admin/?c=1 (which incidentally kills my dashboard hide script…)
THEN, I changed the member/subscriber to moderator (by the groups admin page) and this gave them Author privileges… ON THE MAIN BLOG! No role for the group blog.
WP: 3.0.1
BP: 1.2.5.2
Groupblog: 1.4.4(originally posted here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-groupblog-two-error-reports?replies=3 but figured this might be a better area to seek help)
Hi,
I am new to BuddyPress but do a bit of WordPress stuff, this is only a hobby and I create some themes and tutorials.I installed BuddyPress and have created a twenty ten child theme, it is cheating a bit as I use the sliding menu plugin, modified it slightly for the child theme, rather than merging the menu code.
Well I have it working, and sort of styled to twenty ten, it is here as a download if anyone wants to have a look.

Thanks for looking and any feedback is welcomed.

Topic: Help With my buddypress site
Hello,
I am in need of some help with 2 plugins for my wordpress/buddypress site, My site is aimed at kids aged 8-16 years old, as my daughter went on holiday with granparents, when she returned she wanted to use a well know social media site to keep in contact with her friends, worried about the content exposed to her i decided to have ago at creating my own, I am a Computer hardware/software engineer but not a programmer, I have tried all the social media script out there but when i found WordPress/Buddy press i loved it and have been using it for some time.
I need 2 thing for my site,
1. i need a plugin for the registration/activation process that sends and e-mail to a parent/carer email address entered at sign up informing the parent/carer thier son daughter has joined my social network site, with a customizable e-mail template.
2. when Date of Birth is entered i would like a plugin that refuses registration if date of birth works out to be younger or older that 8-16I know regardless of what security you put in place you can not 100% stop wiredos trying to sign up but i am implementing the CEOP panic buttons throughout so kids can report inapropriate behaviour striaght to authorities, and i have knowledge as a parent to use discretion on content posted to the site, i can then make dessisions on weather to remove a user, i am also creating a parents section so if parents are worried they can contact us and we can look into thier childs content within the site. Parents can also use the CEOP button to report worrying behaviour. The loca media has also taken great interest in my project and are willing to give me interviews once the site is up and running as i want it,
Unfortunatly i don’t have much money to spend on this project as i fell ill a year ago and i have been unable to work since, i have started this project now and i want to see it through, you never know it may become famous lol, i am also looking into ways of making my site more entertaining.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any suggestions or help is much appreciated
Regards

SnetkidsUsing WordPress 3.0.1 and Buddypress 1.2.5.
After a member signs up, they get a confirmation email, which they click on and are directed to sign in. But new members are also instructed with the following message:
Activate your Account
Please provide a valid activation key.
Activation Key: ___________This can be ignored and new members are still signed up. Does anyone know what generates this message? Sorry if this is a repeat but I can’t find a solution.
Hi, I see that the wordpress menu selection doesn’t work with buddypress, so whats the simplest way to add drop-down menu to the default theme navigation tabs?
