If you’re a developer please read https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/i-need-help-converting-existing-theme-into-a-buddpress-ready-theme and let me know if you can help me. This is a paid job. Please read my post at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/i-need-help-converting-existing-theme-into-a-buddpress-ready-theme and let me know if you can help me. There are about 8 pages to edit.

1) This is indeed something that only comes with WPMU.. But WordPress 3.0 is almost ready and multi-networks (read=user blogs) are a option in 3.0.. So you might enable this feature for your community as soon as WP 3.0 is released.

2) You can add youtube videos into the activity stream by using the oEmbed Plugin created by Ray. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/. Simply copy and paste the URL to the video into an Status Update, Reply or Blog Comment, and it’s gets embedded into the stream. Awesome!

3) Currently you have two options for this:

keep an eye on this topic: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-album-new-features-requests-and-discussion. It’s an album plugin which is shaping up nicely and offers albums for your users.

or check out http://www.buddydev.com which offers BP-Gallery. A media plugin which allows the creation of video, pictures and audio galleries. It’s currently almost in it’s final stages, but if you would like to use it you need to have a paid subscription.

I hope you enjoy BuddyPress

wp_enqueue_script is a wordpress function that lets you add javascript files to your site. Just put it in your themes functions.php file or a plugin file. The great thing about it is that it looks if that file has been included already. If it hasn’t only then does it load it. You can also specify dependencies, i.e. jQuery. This means that it will always load the dependencies first. You can also specify if you want to load the script in the header or the footer. Here’s the function:

wp_enqueue_script( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $in_footer );

@smuda I totally agree with you, it just doesn’t look good if someone could go inside the “admin panel” of Facebook, for example (imagining such a thing exists ) it has nothing to do with your theme design, surely not customized, etc, etc. Even if they could not change any configuration (always talking of a social web with no “blogs for everyone” as is my case too).

@etiviti (rich!)

Thanks for your help! I’ll try to apply that

@Paul Gibbs

I’ts fine, I understand, nevertheless I think this kind of questions/debates should be able to take place here since the people who asks are BP users and everything is related at some point. For example, WordPress gives us the admin panel and BP de “Social Layer” where one feature could be the “everything can be managed from the outside interface”… please don’t take this as a hard complaint just my 2 cents

now can download from wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-badge/

@viau5-

If you’ve discovered the plugin(s) that was causing your issue, please list it here so that if others have the same issue, it may help shed some light on their problem.

Would a conditional shortcode plugin like this one work, even if hard coded? http://www.hostscope.com/wordpress-plugins/conditional-shortcodes-wordpress-plugin/

So, to confirm, you’re running BP 1.2.3 and WPMU 2.9.2, correct?

Could it been that I have too many plugins and it’s slowing down the system???

At this stage I would assume it is being caused by a plugin conflict or an out-of-date plugin. The first action to take is what I detailed in this post:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/dashboard-failure-when-activate-buddypress#post-49572

If WP/BP works when running in the barebones configuration, then you can reasonable assume it is either one (or a combination of) your 3rd-party plugins or your custom theme (if using one). So, follow my instructions in that post to figure out which plugin is causing the issue. Once you’ve determined that, contact the plugin author and ask for assistance.

By the way, before installing and activating any plugins or custom themes, you should check to make sure that they are compatible with the versions of WP and BP you’re running.

Sounds like an old problem, one which I haven’t heard in a while.

What version of WPMU are you running?

And you can also run buddypress on WPSA (stand alone).

I think I may be having similar issues. I had to move all my plugins out of my folder because my entire WordPress had crashed and I was getting nothing but a blank screen. (it seems like it was continously cycling through the plugins.php file) I got my site working again however, I dowloaded a fresh version of Buddypress and still the same thing. I really love this plugin and I want it back!
