Users are finding it very confusing to manage their profile in two places :
wordpress-mu/…/wp-admin/profile.php and /wordpress-mu/members/…/profile/ , /wordpress-mu/members/…./settings/ the last two being buddypress options.
The scenario is that eah has his blog (wordpress-mu) so that they like to have ‘About Yourself’ widget in the side-bar in the blog, while they will like to change the user nick which can be done at both buddypress and wp-admin, however changing the nick is not global, which it should be.
Is there any module or is there any way so that users can manage all their profile related detail in one place?
Within their own profiles? Not that I know of.
However, if you use WPMU, your user blogs could use some WPMU-compatible e-commerce plugins such as eShop or Quick Shop.
eShop – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eshop/
Quick Shop – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-shop/
Hope that helps!
Does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows users to create there own store within their profiles on buddypress?..if there isn’t how hard do you think it would be to make? I want to make my own using paypal to tie it all together, but I am concerned with the security. Do you think it would be safe for someone like me with small to medium amount of experience developing plugins for wordpress/buddypress, especially e commerce plugins? I do have quite a bit of general programming experience.. So what do you think?
Yup that’s right.
The other thing is you might need to ensure that CubePoints is loaded as well.
Try something like this in your cubepointsbp() function:
function cubepointsbp() {
if ( function_exists( 'cp_init' ) ) {
//your ninja code
}
else {
// display error message
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'cubepointsbp_error_msg');
}
}
function cubepointsbp_error_msg(){
echo '<div class="error fade" style="background-color:red;"><p><strong>CubePoints for BP requires the CubePoints plugin in order to work. Please deactivate this plugin or activate <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/">CubePoints</a>.</strong></p></div>';
}
Untested… but see if that works.
Create a page in WordPress, then create a WordPress sub-page?

Thanks everyone for the responses! Now I have a better understanding of how the different components work together!
In order to keep the stickiness of people coming back to my website when someone replies to a comment of theirs on the WordPress Post side.. I reactivated my Comment Reply Notification plugin for WordPress so now people get notified by the BuddyPress stuff as well as the WordPress Stuff!!
Just as a side note, my website has over 168,000 comments on it and I attribute that to my use of the comment reply notification plugin that I’ve used for the past couple years. Glad to see that BuddyPress has those notifications built in!
I’ll most likely add the Forum Reply Plugin that you mention r-a-y as well. Thanks for the useful post! And thank you all for your help!
Next up.. getting my BBpress skinned to look like my site and getting that darned BuddyBar to work
I’ve made it so that my assets get put into a folder called files and it has the 777 permissions.
PHP Version 5.1.6
bp_comment_author_avatar() should work when used in the comments section of a WordPress blog post or page.
What Boone said.
Blog-related stuff is handled by WordPress.
Activity replies are handled internally by BuddyPress.
I would recommend what glamgrif mentioned and that is to disable the activity stream for blog comments and forum posts because the activity stream and blog comments / forum posts are independent from one another.
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/faq-how-to-code-snippets-and-solutions#post-37843
You could try replacing blog comments with the activity stream:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-as-blog-comments/
For forum replies, you could use a BuddyPress plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/
Boone, that answers my question I believe.. BuddyPress will NOT email you if someone posts a comment reply on the WORDPRESS side.
Then why is the option on BuddyPress called “A member replies to an update or <b>comment</b> you’ve posted”?
Are the “comments” in BuddyPress somewhere? Are those posts in the Forum considered “comments”?
Thanks Boone!
D Cartwright, how is my show considered NSFW? I have over 300 million views on YouTube and they wouldn’t allow my show if it was not safe for work!
Thanks glamgrif! As Boone said above, I think the WordPress side comments don’t get email notifications from BuddyPress.. or is that not correct?
If you are just using WP-standard (ie one blog), then you will need to either switch to WPMU -OR- wait for v3.0 when this functionality comes to standard WP: http://technosailor.aaronbrazell.com/2009/05/30/wordcamp-sf-announcement-wordpress-and-wordpress-mu-to-merge/
What version of PHP? (I’m at the ‘let’s see what’s different between you and me!’ stage of things)
ETA: Are the permissions on your blogs.dir correct? I had to make the avatar folder and set permissions on that directly
Hi ipstenu, I’ve upgraded to the latest nightly, haven’t noticed much difference, and the avatars still don’t work.
I do have GD library 2.0.28 installed and >>
array(12) {
[“GD Version”]=>
string(27) “bundled (2.0.28 compatible)”
[“FreeType Support”]=>
bool(true)
[“FreeType Linkage”]=>
string(13) “with freetype”
[“T1Lib Support”]=>
bool(false)
[“GIF Read Support”]=>
bool(true)
[“GIF Create Support”]=>
bool(true)
[“JPG Support”]=>
bool(true)
[“PNG Support”]=>
bool(true)
[“WBMP Support”]=>
bool(true)
[“XPM Support”]=>
bool(false)
[“XBM Support”]=>
bool(true)
[“JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support”]=>
bool(false)
}
So that’s not the issue either. It doesn’t look like it’s getting to the actual thumbnail creation.
Hello,
I’m sorry if this question has been asked before but how do you setup blogs for each member? I am not using WordPress MU. My site is http://www.ipvideogroup.com/
Is it possible to give each member their own blog?
I’m becoming a fan of WP-Invites and you might want to try this…
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-invites/
It’ll allow you to dole out codes for users to signup and as far as tracing goes, I’d just generate one invite code for each existing member and it’ll store that invite code with the new user profile so that you are able to determine who the invitation was send from based on which user was giving the code. I’d even go so far as manually generating the code with the existing username in it so that you don’t have to go digging to determine whom signed up whom.
Thanks Paul. So, how can I get the user avatar? How WordPress link the userwith the avatar if is not sotred on database? Thanks.

Bowe, good suggestions. I’ll have a lok at the API again and get back to you with a timeframe.
@all
You can download the plugin now from the repository:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-xtra-signup/
Anonymous User 96400Inactive
The plugin is now in the repository. I made some slight improvements to the code and added a char counter to the description textareas. Enjoy!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-advanced-seo/
Invite Anyone plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/
I don’t think that plugin has the “tracing” ability you want though. You could bring it up to Boone, the plugin author, as a feature request.
@modemlooper….
I was thinking along the same lines.
do you know if this works, and if they get their own members
or using the same database of members.
I would like to experiment with this
and figure out how to really make it work.
If anyone has info or ideas please drop me a line.
@kylecassey…
you would just use the social features (the blog just comes with it) ; )
WPmu is really just one install with multiple blogs
but soon with WP 3.0 you’ll be able to do the same thing with one WordPress install.

.
Finally I got it working
Well first add the lines from this patch https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1426 to bp-core/bp-core-catchuri.php
and then go to bp-core.php and in line 95 put the code like this (note the index.php) $bp->root_domain = bp_core_get_root_domain() . '/index.php';
Well, also, I have a custom template, and in my navigation I have manually put the links in the header to look like this: <li><a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpress/index.php/activity/" title="Actividad">Actividad</a></li> but it probably works also in the bp-default theme.
So, hope this help someone
@qbuster Well when you install this small fix https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1426 you can access links like wordpress/index.php/members (so thats something). But all the buddypress links remain being wordpress/members, etc.
So, I tried to change the slug as explained in here https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ to see if it works change members to index.php/members, but it returns the 404 error.
So any ideas on how to change the links on buddypress to include the index.php ?
I’m running WordPress Stand Alone (not WPMU) with the BuddyPress Plugin
Hi, I get email notifications for everything, signup, private messages, replies to updates.. BUT I don’t get email notifications for replies to COMMENTS on my WordPress Posts. I have WordPress 2.9.2 and the Buddypress Plugin installed and I have every Yes checked in Notifications including :
A member replies to an update or comment you’ve posted is checked yes.
My question is, am I supposed to receive email notifications for COMMENT REPLIES on the WordPress Side? It appears that way, as I am assuming that that is what the option I checked above is.. unless it is referring to comments somewhere else in Buddypress?
I have a plugin installed in the WordPress Side called Comment Reply Notification that DOES give me comment reply emails, but it is a separate plugin and I had it active when I installed BuddyPress, so I am worried that it somehow BROKE BuddyPress and now I can’t get the Comment Replies to work. When I disable that plugin, I receive no email notifications for WordPress Comment Replies. Did that plugin break BuddyPress? If that is the case, how can I fix it?
My site is here; http://www.hotforwords.com
Thanks so much!
