If we can get the developer to amend this event for BP,would be great!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-events-calendar/
You are right, I should have explained.
I am making theme both compatible for WP and BP by using something like this
<?php if (get_option(‘gangmei_switch_platform’) == ‘buddypress’) { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/_inc/member-search.php’); ?>
<?php } else { include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/_inc/search-form.php’); } ?>
This work 100%
( If buddypress is enable from theme option page, it will show the buddypress member search form
else it will show the wordpress search form)
But i want something like I said.
It want something like this
if bp_is_enable
buddypress code
else
Wordpress code
I think this will really help and ease theme developer
Can this be possible?
Hi @Burkie .. Do you have any idea when EventPress will be released? Looking at the site, development seems to have stopped.. http://gsocevents.wordpress.com/
Also, I’m not able to see the “Create Event” page anywhere! I can see the /events/ page but that’s it.
Has anyone come across this problem?
Hey guys, I love wordpress and WANT to use buddypress, but organizing events at a group level is central to what I need. PLZ suggest some clever way that I can make scheduling reasonably workable within buddypress at a group level. GIVE me a reason to stay! Even if its really barbaric way, help me get some kind of scheduler in buddypress groups (beyond simply using forums). THANKS
What did you install before you had that problem? If plugin, rename the folder of the plugin you installed in plugins folder via FTP or cpanel. If that doesn’t work, access your database and check if you’re still admin.
As I am using WordPress as forum with BP, I like to edit the message we see on the activity page
Little boy comment on the blog post …..
Little boy wrote a new blog post ….
to
Little boy comment on the post …..
Little boy wrote a new post ….
If this is to do with the POT file, Can I edit it directly from the template?
Why not just use a group for this?
There isn’t a way to do this in BuddyPress without writing your own code to do it. You could use WP_User_Search to look up users, it is defined in /wp-admin/includes/user.php starting near line 637.
Here’s an example from http://www.clarksonenergyhomes.com/wordpress/2009/03/16/wp-get-users-by-role-function/ (found via Google).
function get_users_with_role ( $role ) {
// gets all users with specified role
$wp_user_search = new WP_User_Search( '', '', $role );
return $wp_user_search->get_results();
}
This type of user search is intended for use in Administration Panels, not on public-facing pages. So be sure you know why you’re exposing that information before you do it. I’d urge against ever showing a member’s user role publicly. It’d probably be much better to use a Group for those users and display them that way — based on their membership in a certain group instead of their user role.
Hi there,
The same problem!
Tried to change permalink to all others options, but with no success. What exactly should I write down in permalink, and what options to chose? (Url – http://localhost/wbook/…?…/)
Anyway, I am testing Buddypress in localhost on WampServer2.0f for Windows;
Using WordPress 3.0 and the last version of Buddypress.
If not, tell me what to change in .htaccess file which looks like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wbook/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wbook/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Please keep in mind, I am not an expert in WordPress and English language.
Thanks, Ema
For any future additions to core, I think we’ll make an effort to update on http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/.
I posted a ticket on this and a quick and dirty solution, which I can pastebin if required
http://pastebin.com/gsNJgGET
Needs to go in a bp-custom.php file in the plugins folder
It’s basic but got a bit fed up having to manually get to dashboard.
Would be interested to see this code, as well as Derek’s changes to it.
I hate what WPMU-Dev did to the free plugins section on their site. Luckily, most of all the good WPMU plugins are now hosted on wordpress.org!
any advice is appreciated…

Oops… sorry the “My Blogs” menu only shows up if you’re using network mode in WP 3.0! This isn’t necessary unless you want to allow your users to create independent blogs on your site. Sorry for the crummy advice there!
You can always visit the dashboard manually by going to:
example.com/wp-admin/
You can also customize the BuddyBar to include a link to the dashboard manually as well.
I really don’t see this “My blogs”! The only thing I see is the My activity, notifications and Visit menu. But there is no way to enter my dashboard! 
Hi! 
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Is it possible to be allowed in capital letters in usernames? All the Links on Google and buddypress.org doesn´t help…
I have tryed out a few things… For example, I’ve replaced in the bp-core-signup.php on line 321
preg_match( "/[a-z0-9]+/", $user_name, $maybe );
with
preg_match( "/[a-zA-Z0-9öäüÖÄÜß]+/", $user_name, $maybe );
In line 327 an error message is generated when the user name does not comply with certain criteria.
if ( !validate_username( $user_name, $strict = false ) || in_array( $user_name, (array)$illegal_names ) || $user_name != $maybe[0] )
$errors->add( 'user_name', __( 'Only lowercase letters and numbers allowed', 'buddypress' ) );
When I comment out followed code in Line 327:
!validate_username( $user_name, $strict = false ) ||
my preg_match rule works with the capital letters and special characters, but I think that will later have an impact on the log on and other things.
Capital letters are now being accepted, but no special characters such as “ßöüÖ” … -.-
validate_username() is a WordPress function
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/validate_username
and it uses
sanitize_user() which is documented here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_user
Has anyone any idea how to do this without an sql injection or incompatible usernames later?
I would have liked that a user can log in as “SteffanieKönig” …
When we get together at a solution I would like to summarize the whole issue and as a plugin, but I’m at the end of my knowledge! -.-

Wordpress 3.0, Directory root install, Buddypress 1.2.5
Customised Buddypress social theme
My problem is on the activity page. When clicking on a new tab, such as ‘my friends’ or ‘my groups’, no content displays until the page is refreshed. How can I work around this?
Thanks
99% of the wordpress themes out there are gpl. snag away.
I have this in my wp-config.php file
define (‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’,’groupforums’);
I’m on WordPress 2.9.2 (single), and the latest BuddyPress.
@alanchrishughes – try contacting the plugin dev and see if they can update the content filters for buddypress. the only profanity filter bp-ready i’ve seen is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/webpurifytextreplace/ but that is a pay-for-solution
@grosbouff There is the BP Followers Plugin by @apeatling for your reference
One difference between Friends and Followers is that Friends is in core while Followers feature needs the plugin to be activated.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-messages-for-followers-only/
The other difference is Followers is ala Twitter following. The “follower” doesn’t need to be approved by the one he follows. While for “Friends” to connect completely friendship request must be approved by the other party.
