BuddyPress.org

Hi Andy

Thanks for your reply.

I think the problem is the email isn’t being sent out to the new members with the link for them to activate their account.

I’ve checked everywhere including spam folder to see if the message has been received at all but I just can’t find it.

New members are being given the roll of “members”.

Could you possibly tell me where within WordPress I would set up outbound email configuration?

I’m going to turn off all the plugins (except BuddyPress) to see if there’s a plugin conflict that’s causing this problem.

Do you have any suggestions?

Many thanks!

I have almost 100!!! (yes 100) buddypress instalations and all work fine with activation.

Try to use this plugin if you have problems with sendmail on your host: “Cimy Swift SMTP” dont forget to put the plugin on mu-plugins and not on “plugins”.

Check also if you can send emails from a mail client with the email you setup on wordpress.

The P2 theme has some elements of what you mentioned. It’s not a BP theme though, so you’d have to develop a custom theme. P2 is also used in the new version of the BP group blog plugin.

The same way they did before, just go to wp-admin and publish posts like you used to do.

BuddyPress only adds, it doesn’t remove any core features from WordPress.

This is nothing to do with BuddyPress, hackers can just try logging in as admin on your login form and find the same thing.

Number one thing to do when you first install WordPress is to change the admin account to something else. WordPress 3.0 will allow you to change this when you first install.

You can edit the admin username in your database in the wp_users table. Change the user_login and user_nicename value.

1.3 will use WordPress pages for navigation, so you can just add/remove/move pages around to edit the main navigation.

BuddyPress is definately what your looking for if you need profiles inside wordpress. But you will have to adjust your theme to be buddypress compatible before you can actually fully use buddypress.

The “Are you sure” message usually means you’re having a nonce error. If you’re submitting a post or comment or some other data with your plugin, check the core code that usually handles that data and see if there’s a check admin referer in there. Google wordpress nonce to learn about how that works.

The issue is simple… bp-events is essentially the only option and there’s been a lack of communication from Erwin. So now we know. Good. Time to move on. I can now tell my organization that we have a plan going forward and that we can finally launch our site. We’ll just have to use a regular WordPress calendar instead of bp-events. Not ideal but it’s the best we can do. I’m fine with whatever… as long as I have a plan.

Hello I am currently running WordPress 2.9.2 and Buddypress 1.2.1

I have this plugin installed on a test site that I have and from what I can tell, tinymce shows up on the content boxes on activity pages, profile pages, forums (starting a new topic) as well as replying to a forum post. However while on the forum pages once you input some content and press post, everything works fine (minus styling to the blockquote element), even though tinymce shows up in other areas once you hit “post” you get an error saying “Please enter some content to post”.

I have tried this in Firefox 3.6, Chrome 4.1.249.1042 and IE7 so far and while Chrome and IE7 always give you the error when trying to post from any area other than the forums, Firefox will give you the error but if you refresh the page and press post again the content will post.

Would seem like to plugin does just what you want in terms of the forums area and would be fine for me if I could disable it in the other areas unless there is a fix or workaround for the other areas.

In any event thank you and good luck to those who can fix this.

fyi, i installed this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

When i used the standard php_mail option it does not work, if i use smtp mailing it works.

As mentioned before private messaging between users is sending out notifications without any problem (without plugin). Is there any difference between the mail functions here ?
