hi Guys!
I have migrated from phpbb3 to buddypress
site went live today, there were some hiccups with script, and not everything was converted.. private msg or attachments. and links in posts are not right..
anyways, here it is. opentuition.com/forums
PS. I have not done it myself, but people who did it, if they did it for me, they can do it for you, drop me PM and i will forward your info!
So let me get this right. These are a combination of Joomla, and WordPress?
Dude, you must be some kind of PHP Svengali.
They all look very nice. I couldn’t pick one over the other technically, but I like the first one the best.
Really good stuff man.
Cool one rsqst, will the Ursuline nuns be accepting male, or female guests only, at the convent? 
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/ has been updated and it’s working in child blogs.
Cheers.
Could be I got the same issue here. 2.92 WordPress (single user) and latest BuddyPress installed via BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.
With nothing disabled in BP general settings, everything enabled in component setup.
There is no “create group” in the “groups” tab. Only “My Groups” and “Invites”. Clicking the “groups” tab goes to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupedoll/groups/ which seems fine.
But I want forums. And it seems forums are a property of groups. So I need groups. How to create groups?
(After much confusion) I enter MANUALLY: http://ultimatecultureclash.com/groups/create/step/group-details/
This goes to /groups/create/step/group-details/images/images/bg_body.gif which looks good. The heading says “Create a Group” and there’s input fields for “Group Name” and “Group Description”.
But entering group name, group description and pressing “Create Group and Continue —->” button only reloads blog homepage and creates nothing.
Here’s more examples. “Activity” tab + “Personal” tab resolves to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupe3903doll/activity/just-me/ which is probably right. But “Profile” tab + “Edit profile” tab redirects back to home page.
How weird is that?
And one more thing I noticed. When tabs resolve where they should? I get logged out. But when tabs redirect to home page? I remain logged in.
The plugin bp-member-filter[1] works for me.
You need to use :
<?php if ( bp_has_members_filter( 'search_terms=metal&per_page=10' ) ) : ?>

I am using the most recent versions of BP and WP and user registration seems to work fine sharing the username and password. How can I make BP import / sync additional usermeta fields? I have custom usermeta fields for my WP install and I create custom xprofile fields but they don’t seem to sync so I have two separate user tables basically. Is there any way I can make sure the xprofile fields update the wordpress usermeta everytime there is a change? or only use 1 table for both?
I have searched everywhere to get more info on this topic but can’t seem to get anywhere. Also all of the mass user importers for BP 1.2 don’t seem to work with the regular WP install so I’m kind of stumped. I would be happy to sponsor some support help on this. Thanks.
Hey Aran, I could not get this to work at all with just regular WP, but after deleting and installing WordPress MU in its place, I was able to get BuddyPress to work with no problems. Very strange…because I was able to install BuddyPress with just a regular install of WordPress 3 days ago on another site.
This is the first beta of the 1.0 version.
This version is a complete rewrite of the old plugin.
It has a new logic, and much more functionality.
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/seo-for-buddypress.1.0beta.zip
If you update from an old version, please go to the settings page and click on “Update Database”.
bug report and feature requests go in here please.
I’m thinking about to add the following features into the next versions:
– Nofollow control
– Image-title and alt-tag management
– Letter and word counter for the meta edit pages
– Add meta description in the post edit screen
If you have any suggestions, please contact me.
The avatar folders are there and the main picture I upload is being saved in there, but it is not creating different sizes. On the page itself it is showing at this point SCREENSHOT- http://freelancerunplugged.com/files/crop-problems.jpg
So for some reason, the whole cropping function is not even working. And I have tried it by disabling all the plugins except for buddypress and it still does the same thing.
This morning I Automatically upgraded to the latest wordpress and latest Buddypress using the auto update buttons. I don’t really want to re-upload the whole thing again due to the time it takes and also (as it was just upgraded this morning) I do not believe it will change the current outcome. Unless you disagree then I will do it all again.
The main blog folder (which is number 2) is now 777 and re-uploading a new picture did the same thing. Picture shows up in the FTP area, but no crops and the page shows the SCREENSHOT again – http://freelancerunplugged.com/files/crop-problems.jpg
Apart from the glitch with the avatar not showing up to crop, I feel this is an issue that a lot of other people are facing but instead of fixing it they delete/ reinstall everything. And Im not really able to do that as the website has a few hundred poeple on it.
I found this mail sended in 2007 on wp-hackers, while searching for error message stuff at plugin activation
It seems to be be already the same situation in 2010… so devs, you know…
wp-hackers] Plugins : return proper error on activation faliure

Some complex plugins may fail during activation (creating database
tables or what not).
currently there is no way for plugins to return an error signal + error
message in such cases: only thing they can do is to print the error.
this is problematic as the error does not fit well into the wordpress
admin page, and can also cause problems if for some reason the someone
tries to set an http header after the plugin was activated.
I suggest that we allow plugin to return error message back to wordpress
on activation.
The visibility of the Admin nav-item is a side effect of “Site Wide: true” but it isn’t the correct way to fix this.
The “Site Wide” meta value doesn’t have anything to do with users, roles, or capabilities. It’s only there to tell WordPress that plugin can act as the umbrella that covers all blogs/sites in a network.
The offending plugins are simply just not using the correct methods to add their navigation to the Admin area.
WordPress has many wrappers to help make this easy for plugin authors:
add_management_page
add_options_page
add_theme_page
add_users_page
add_dashboard_page
add_posts_page
add_media_page
add_links_page
add_pages_page
add_comments_page
All of the above functions are passed an $access_level variable, that can be set to a “current_user_can” value to limit its access.
I’d drop a message to the authors of the plugins that are showing their settings to unauthorized users. That isn’t just inconvenient/embarrassing/confusing, it’s a security risk.
Got pretty much the same issue here. Latest WordPress (non-MU) and BuddyPress installed via BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.
With nothing disabled in BP general settings, everything enabled in component setup.
There is no “create group” in the “groups” tab. Only “My Groups” and “Invites”. Clicking the “groups” tab goes to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupedoll/groups/ which seems fine.

This goes to /groups/create/step/group-details/images/images/bg_body.gif which looks good. The heading says “Create a Group” and there’s input fields for “Group Name” and “Group Description”.
But entering group name, group description and pressing “Create Group and Continue —->” button only reloads blog homepage and creates nothing.
I’ve read somewhere that this might be theme-related? I run Atahualpa, pretty extensively customized. Yet the BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin was supposed to integrate everything painlessly (for ignorant non-coders like me). And the weird thing is how smoothly it seemed to have done the job. Until it came to creating groups.
Hello,
I’m using BP 1.2.3 on a WordPress 2.9.2 install with the WP-FB-AutoConnect plugin.
On registration, WP-FB-AutoConnect automatically set the user first_name and last_name and I like that. However, once registred users can not change these first_name and last_name when editing their BP profile.
Is it possible to let members change the WP user data in adition the the BP profile fields ?
On the profile page of each author on my blog, I want to show a link to all posts by a user.
Okey, that part is easy. But I want to show something else, if the author has not yet made any posts, such as “This author has not made any posts yet”.
At the moment, the link looks like this:
“>Show all posts by <?php bp_user_fullname() ?>
But if the user has not made any posts, they end up at the 404 page, which is a bit unprofessional.
Is it possible to fix this with some nice coding?
Any help highly appreciated.
I am using WordPress MU and Buddypress (latest versions)
Hi
I’m having trouble with using custom fields in single.php.
My problem is simple:
In the “(Year) in (Category) by admin” section, I want to replace the “admin” part with a value from the key “Author-Alias” in that post’s custom fields.
However, I don’t know PHP and thus I don’t know how to code it.
Can anyone help me (please don’t say I should post in the WordPress forums because this is related to BuddyPress)?
Hi everyone.
I have been having upload avatar issues for about 6 months and have ignored/turned those features off. But, I want it fixed.
I recently upgraded to the latest WordPress MU 2.9.2. and latest Buddypress Version 1.2.3. To give you the back story, these issues have been happening since before BP 1.2 but I am unable to fix it still.
Here are my details about my system ( according to this http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support ):
1. WordPress MU 2.9.2.
2. Directory
3. Root
4. Yes, 2.8.6 I believe
5. No
6. 1.2.3
7. 1.2.1
8. A few plugins, but none that I can see conflicting
9. They were customised but overwritten with latest install – so no.
10. Slightly in regards to avatars not working
11. no
12. bbPress built-in
13. Few errors but nothing that relates
14. Hostmonster
Images I upload through the UPLOAD function in admin are uploading correctly and are being made into the crops (150×150 and 300×200) – but with Avatar uploads (and groups and BP Album uploads) I am getting nowhere.
I have recently had the issue where the crop box doesnt even show up SCREENSHOT- http://freelancerunplugged.com/files/crop-problems.jpg
Previously, the error was like other people when they would click accept after cropping but nothing would happen.
I have a feeling there are problems with my rewrite rules or file storage issues but I have been unable to fix the problem using various posts on this topic. Also, please note that I do not have access to MISCELLANEOUS in the Settings area due to using WPMU.
The website in question is http://freelancerunplugged.com
Can someone please walk me through problem solving so I can finally get avatars back on my site (that arent from Gravatar) and so I can allow my users to upload pictures.
Did you try is_home() instead?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
The above link suggests that it should be is_front_page() but given how bp-default is playing around with that setting in the backened, you might need to check is_home()
Thanks @3sixty — after much head-wringing and a little tweak, I got your code to work perfectly:
<?php if (get_usernumposts( bp_current_user_id() ) > 0) echo " | Blog posts: " . get_usernumposts( bp_current_user_id() ); ?>
In the process I learned that “get_usernumposts()” has been deprecated in WordPress 3.0, so when that comes out I assume I’ll have to change this to work with the replacement function, “count_user_posts()”
@Modemlooper – as stwc posted above, he wanted a front page other than c) A WordPress Page
Actually, not really — I just want to show one of the other default BP site sections — forums or blogs or members. But if this is a general solution that also includes that ability to do that, even better.
There are WP plugins that will auto-create a WordPress post from each item in an RSS feed as it happens (well, cron schedule notwithstanding, I guess, or something like that). I kind of hate Facebook, so I’m not sure, but are there RSS streams generated by the appropriate activity there?
Or, come to think of it, if there were an RSS stream from Facebook, you could just use Andy’s External Group Blogs plugin and pull the RSS items into an activity stream for a group, as well.
[Latest BP 1.2.3, latest WordPressMU]
My users are reporting that they can post unicode content (text in other languages) in the Activity streams, but it gets stripped to ‘???????? ?????’ in forum posts. I’ve confirmed with Korean and Japanese text.
Is this one a known bug? Couldn’t find this specific issue with a search here… any ideas on how to fix it (or if other people are having the same problem)? Not a tier-1 issue for me, but it seems like it might be important for installs in non-English environments.
Thank you for the info.
In our case, yes we would want all the updates from facebook to post to the blog.
We have a number of missionaries around the world who post to facebook. I was thinking of creating a subdomain blog for each missionary. That way when they post to facebook it would automatically show up on their blog.
Now a normal person would say, ‘why not just post the blog article and have it pushed to facebook’?
Well, say I have 20 church websites that all support the same missionary. Instead of him having to post to all 20 church blogs, he could post to facebook, and I could have all 20 blogs auto updated for him.
Obviously this is a very specific example, but it would work the same for many concepts.
anyhow, I had not even thought of a wordpress app for facebook. I’ll go dig around and find me one.
thanks again
I’ve never seen one (although there might be), but the challenge I have is understanding what from Facebook you’d want to create the post on the blog. Would you want someone’s wall post to be added to the blog? That doesn’t make much since to me. Would you want a Facebook Note to be added to your blog?
The other option is to add the WordPress app (and there are probably a number of these out there) to your Facebook account. I think a Facebook WordPress app would be able to post to your blog and to Facebook at the same time. At least I think there are 2 way Facebook apps like this.
