BuddyPress.org

If you have other query_post loops running on the page, you might need to reset the loop.

Use something like wp_reset_query(); after a query_posts loop or use a WP_Query loop, which doesn’t require resetting altogether:

Use a query_posts loop:

I’m quite sure that a plugin exists to do such a thing.

Will this do what you need… it lets you (as admin) directly add members to a group:

Oh man, barking like a dog would have fixed it Oh well…

1) What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress?
2) What are the file permissions on .htaccess? Can the webserver write to it? If you do have to change the permissions, then after doing so, go back into WordPress and change the permalink settings to something else. Then set it back to what you wanted the permalink to be and try again (this will re-write the relevant part of the htaccess).
3) What other plugins are you running? What theme are you using? If it’s custom, what sort of thing do you have in its functions.php?
4) What type of GoDaddy hosting are you using?

If you’re using WPMU aka Multisite on GoDaddy, as far as I can tell, you’re in for a lot of trouble

I was looking for the exact same thing as @rossagrant when I found this thread (a basic empty custom tab that admins can add content to). I’ve tried using the Group Extension API per the documentation, but the code seems to be unaware of the API when it gets processed. I get an error saying it doesn’t know what BP_Group_Extension is. If I remove the extends from my class, it falls over at the bp_register_group_extension call.

I have put the sample code word-for-word in my bp_custom.php file (per @boonebgorges).

I am a developer, but am new to wordpress/buddypress dev. I’m using latest versions of WP/Buddpress.

Thanks for any pointers.

@bennadler The problem with doing it that way (in BuddyPress core) is for installs where /wp-content/ is moved out of the WordPress root and located somewhere else, which is a common configuration for the more security minded folks.

That fix will work for most everyone else however.

Yes, This plugin works well and is compatible with BP

@dlittle800 Try disabling all plugins and use default settings.

What version of wordpress and buddypress are you using?

@hnla You raise an interesting point about plugin development vs core development. Speaking from the point of view of someone who makes a living off of WP and BP-related development, I can note that it’s often quite easy to justify the development of plugin-type functionality for a client. The client’s job needs a specific type of functionality not available in, or appropriate for, the core of BP, so it makes sense for them to pay to have it developed as an add-on. From there it generally takes just a bit of extrapolation and cleanup to turn that add-on into something that can be released as a plugin in the WP repo. (If you’re really lucky, like I am, you have paying clients who actually *encourage* these cleanup and extrapolating steps in plugin development.)

It’s a bit harder to bill for core-type development, since so much of core development involves extensive bug testing on a wide variety of different server and software configurations – something that isn’t really required for a specific client project.

Still, this all makes me think about Andy’s awesome post from last year, “Give a Little”: http://apeatling.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/give-a-little/. Now that I’m starting to catch up from my month-long break from BP (honeymoon ftw), I personally am going to start devoting more time to the core project, which I understand broadly as this buddypress.org community as well as the ongoing core development on trac.buddypress.org.

There are a couple ways to make themes for BuddyPress.

One way is to make a child theme for bp-default. Instructions can be found here: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ This is a good option because it’s relatively simple, but it will restrict you to some extent to the general structure of the bp-default theme.

Another way is to integrate BP features into your own Svelt theme. The BuddyPress Template Pack will help you do that. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ Basically, it provides the extra templates necessary (on top of your existing WP templates) to run BuddyPress functionality. Follow the Template Pack instructions carefully on a test installation, and see what you think. Once you’ve gone through the Template Pack setup, you can start customizing the way that BP integrates with your theme to your liking – but BPTP will give you a nice headstart.

I also have the same problem as u Ky, but Im running it on a local server. I also check my email account and there are no whatsoever emails from bp after I finished filling up the form in the registration, do we need to run bp online to test it, although there is an online demo, i need to check it b4 doing it on an actual online site?? BTW, It also shows up in my dashboard’s users.

Also, I wanted to ask if BP needs to have MU enabled?? Im using it in wordpress 3 (they say it has MU in it also) and buddypress.1.2.5.
I tried using Buddypress on wordpress 3 (wwithout enabling mu) and it works fine and the only prob was that the registration doesn’t work the way it did like when I register here at BP forum.

I hope someone can help us with the problem. Thanks to u all.. ^_^V
Really sorry if this is a super newbie question..
