    I kinda feel stupid for starting this forum topic- but the fact is I’m very new to WordPress and Buddypress.

    Since there was this “famous 5 min install” mentioned all over the website, I figure it would take me max 10 mins to get up and running with buddypress.

    Since there was no mention of Configuring SMTP, I didn’t realize that it is a mandatory step in getting Buddypress working.

    It would be nice if the Buddypress install guide can have steps for those who are not familiar with wordpress.

    Hi,

    I am wondering how to add the dynamic links in another part of my site just outside of wordpress, a phpbb3 forum, I have made it so it has the same header and footer by copying the links over , but i need the links in the buddypress bar to be dynamic so they change with who logs in as they do on the actual wordpress site.

    as mentioned I copied the code over, maybe there is a better way? of including some of the files then calling the wp_footer function? if so which files are needed to transfer over?

    Thank you

    Paid or “membership based” plugins are fine, but NOT for a core component of BuddyPress.

    Core components are: Activity Streams, Blogs, Forums, Friends, Groups, Private Messaging, Profiles, and… Photos.

    These components are the key elements of *any* social networking site and have to be *tightly* integrated with the core to deliver a quality user experience. That means that the component doesn’t just “plug in” to Buddypress… it’s part of BuddyPress and changes are made to the BuddyPress core if necessary to make it work better with the plugin.

    You *cannot* have a core component based on a commercial plugin. In has to be free as in freedom *and* free as in beer, *and* open source. And you definitely can’t have development run by a “one man band” …because time and time again the developer goes away, an update breaks the plugin, and we’re all screwed.

    This is not from me. This is from Automattic.

    What I’m trying to get going between myself, @francescolaffi, and hopefully a few other contributors (once we’ve got a solid framework implemented) is a canonical photo plugin that will eventually be merged into BuddyPress. It will have to be dependable, extendable, and secure, and give BuddyPress users the functionality they want. In a nutshell: Facebook Photos.

    If others want to *extend* the canonical plugin, it will have a wide range of hooks and be exceptionally well documented -making their job much easier. So if somebody wants to make a commercial add-on that gives it image editing capabilities, automatic face recognition, streaming video, or something beyond what the average user needs, then they can do that, find customers, and be paid for their efforts.

    I’m not trying to build a plugin that does everything. I want to build a high quality gallery plugin that satisfies 95% of the users out there and becomes the standard.

    You need to set permalinks in your WordPress install.

    Please help, I’ve installed Buddypress to provide more features to visitors but the main content is a specific news feed that FeedWordpress and External Group Blogs doesn’t accept. Without the WP-O-Matic I’m loosing visitors everyday.

    Hi,

    We’re running news sites om WordPress and wants to integrate community functions by using Buddypress.

    Does it run in the exact same way even if you don’t use MU? Or are there strong reasons to migrate to MU?

    Someone please build it so that I can stop seeing this argument recur on these forums every few weeks. If I didn’t have seven thousand other things to do I’d do it myself but hey – I just took all the thinking out of it by drawing a map :)

    i’m wrapping up a buddypress group forum extras plugin which brings in some bbpress plugins to the bp-group forums (sigs, bbcode or shortcode, quote)… this might be tempting; especially the support forum plugin. i’ll look into it.

    Yes FeedWordpress has a solution for duplicate posts:

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress-duplicate-post-filter/

    I agree that it’s a great plugin but:

    – FeedWordpress does not accept all rrs feeds. The ones I couldn’t fetch with FeedWordpress I did it with WP-O-Matic.

    – After activation it fetches all posts from the feed. There’s no control of the number of posts to fetch. In WP-O-Matic you can define 1 post to fetch the first time and then change it to unlimited or the number that you prefer.

    – I’ve tested FeedWordpress configured for hourly fetches and WP-O-Matic the same way. With WP-O-Matic I’ve got the latest posts and with FeedWordpress no.

    – In WP-O-Matic you can customize how the fetched posts will display. You may include a default image for each feed, text and html. You can define the source link name and make it open in a new window.

    Maybe FeedWordpress has more features and advantages, I don’t know, my experience results are the ones I’ve wrote. Besides, when it doesn’t accept the rss feed that I need to fetch … I cannot use it.

    I think FeedWordpress had a solution for duplicate posts. Not sure where I’d seen that. I know, not very helpful… But I wouldn’t give up on FeedWordpress too soon. It continues to surprise me.

    If you change your permalinks, old blog post activity items will not be updated to the new permalink structure

    My suggestion would be to redirect these old blog post permalinks to their new ones using a WP plugin.

    I’ve used this one in the past:

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalinks-migration-plugin-for-wordpress/

    It’s a little old, but it worked for me.

    But you can integrate BuddyPress into your exisiting theme.

    https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

    There really isn’t a comparable plugin out there.

    @modemlooper that will brake all the overlay magic…in release 0.1.3 (later today) css should be right for all browsers, if not please open a thread in wordpress.org forum with tag bp-album ( https://wordpress.org/tags/bp-album?forum_id=10 )

    @tosh my memory was wrong, I forgotten to put is_site_admin in some points, fixed in 0.1.3.

    WordPress uses the standard PHP mail() function – http://php.net/mail

    I *think* this is is the right section to post this in, forgive me if I’m wrong.

    I’m in a bit of an odd position; I’m trying to add BuddyPress onto an existing site rather than start a new site.

    For starters, I currently run a soccer-centric (well, soccer team-centric) blog over at http://www.aishiteru-tokyo.com. I’m using the K2 theme with the “dueling sidebars” stylesheet, for those of you who keep track of such things ;-)

    Starting this year I’ve started a new supporter club for the team, and in trying to figure out the best way to come up with 1) a way for club members to register and 2) a way for me to send out periodical notices to club members (and maybe have them interact with each other). BuddyPress seems like a good way to accomplish this especially since it no longer requires WordPress MU.

    However, when I tried to install BuddyPress, it seemed to take over my entire site, with the menu on top of my header and all that. Since BP and my K2/dueling sidebars theme don’t seem to get along, I’m wondering if I can restrict BuddyPress to a certain “subsection” (for example, if a user clicked on the “TOKYO DAMACY 1999” button on the dropdown menu, it would bring them to the BP front page which would of course have all the information on the supporter club.

    So… is this possible? How? I’m able to tinker around with HTML/CSS but I’m not really an expert. I imagine this is less a BuddyPress question and more a WordPress question, in any case.

    thanks in advance!

    If running on VPS, you should at least need 512mb of RAM in order to run wordpress/buddypress smoothly. But that’s just from my experince running wpmu/buddypress on a VPS.

    How is the sending of email configured? I don’t recall configuring any SMTP server during my installation to let wordpress or buddypress know which accounts to send emails from?

    I was using BP 1.2.1 for the past few weeks- so am confused how this new feature works?

    I saw a reply elsewhere which said the admin can activate users even if they have not clicked on the activation link in their email. But I did not see any “activate” user option in the admin console.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Topic: Link is wrong

    in group forum Installing BuddyPress
    red46

    Brand new to buddypress. I’ve installed it in my wordpress and so far, have one problem. All the links are wrong.

    Example: a mouse over on the links to any section in the header, I see http://judysbookshop.com/blogs/administrator/*

    There is no such address. I can’t find a subdirectory called ‘administrator’ anywhere.

    Can somebody help me figure this one out?

    Hi,

    I’m posting this in both the WP.org and BP How-To Forums as I’m not sure which one I should post in. I am building a site that runs a single version of WordPress (latest version) along with the BuddyPress plugin (which included bbPress).

    As I understand it, WordPress has its own search field which searches the WordPress Blog (posts, categories, tags) and individual WP Pages.

    And BuddyPress has its own search field, which searches Groups, Members, Forum Topics, and Blogs (if using WPMU).

    Is there a way to add two more search fields to the drop down menu of the BuddyPress Search, to include a search function for WP Pages, and the WP main Blog.

    I will have a bunch of WordPress pages that I will be using to host profiles businesses in which any user can comment upon at the bottom of the page (through WP comments). So the WP Pages are like their own section which is why I would like to have a separate search category for them.

    This might not be possible to separate the WP Blog and WP Pages while performing a WordPress search. But at the very least it would be nice to have the BuddyPress Search menu also include a search category for all of WordPress.

    I came across the customized Google Site Search in another post, but that isn’t exactly what I’m looking for since you can’t search within specific categories.

    so, any help would be great. I look forward to hearing what options there are.

    Thanks.

    It took me 5 days, but finally found the answer, on wordpress.org forums. I share it with you. Since BuddyPress is a Plugin, and it causes the bad function of my blog, I just went to my site by FTP, and rename the BuddyPress plugin file by something like oldplugin. And that was all. I could then enter to my site. Now I will try to install again this plugin which suppose to be so easy that even my mom should install it.
