BuddyPress.org

I tested out Kaltura but one thing to caution you about that I saw was that the last updated date was almost 6 months ago and it shows compatibility with 1.0.x and 1.1.x, NOT 1.2. It didn’t seem to be very actively worked on so I started looking at different options. Here’s their wordpress repo link for you to decide on your own.

Hm, no real instruction manual as such. And no question is a noob question

With regards to features, you can read this page https://buddypress.org/, find some BuddyPress introduction videos from WordCamp conferences at http://wordpress.tv/category/buddypress/. I’ve just got back from WordCamp Ireland where I did an introduction to BP session; slides are at http://slideshare.net/DJPaul/wordcamp-ireland-2010-introduction-to-buddypress

If you can ask us a specific question about BuddyPress, we can come up with a more specific answer (hopefully!)

The issue isn’t with BuddyPress, its an issue with your WP environment. when you were told to change your Permalink Settings wordpress created a .htaccess file. this probably broke your access to get in, it did mine.

I updated the file so that the rewriter worked correctly and all is better. Enable rewriter and you’ll probably be good.

You’re looking for a WordPress <-> phpBB bridge.

Have you tried WP-United?

I don’t know how to integrate the others into wordpress/buddypress, but you could still disable the forum component in buddypress and use the other features.

It sounds like this plugin will help you:

Haven’t tested it though.

BuddyPress utilizes bbPress only for the groups component.

This doesn’t limit you from using using phpBB or vBulletin!

There are a few scripts out there that can integrate phpBB and vBulletin into WordPress.

I’d suggest checking those out.

Are you able to receive emails regularly in WordPress?

eg. when someone posts a comment on your blog or when a new user registers for your site?

The groupblog_blog_id should hold a single value. If this isn’t the case it is misfiring somewhere. Did the following post help at all? Please follow the instructions there and see if you can clean up the meta table. This should not be a problem in 1.4.4, but 1.4.3 causes issues.

Thanks everyone for the tips and tricks, I’ll be checking this page again!

It’s strange but the moment I upgraded to WP2.9.2 and BP 1.2 spam started again.

Previously, I just added SI Captcha and I went from getting 10-20+ spam registrations to none. I added WP-hashcash now and I’ve only had one registration since.

I’ve just disabled the blog registration on the signup page, hopefully that’ll help too.

By the way, there’s also a meta tag in the header of many templates :

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.9.2" />

Removing that may help too….

My registration link is broken too. I’m using the latest versions of everything (WPMU), no active plugins except BuddyPress and WordPress.com Stats, no custom language, and the default theme. Any ideas?

Make a page in the back-end admin area, make a custom wordpress page, by adding a comment with the template name in the top (https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates). After throwing this file inside your themes folder, you get a dropdown on the right side of your page editings page, select the file and you can use normal tags like get_header(); in the php file of the custom page template.

This is the only correct way to make a custom wordpress page as far as I know.

Is it now compatible with a single WordPress 2.9.2 install (for only one blog) with BP1.2.1? or do we have to wait for WP3.0

Does this post help at all: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/371370?replies=4#post-1427856

Do you have access to your db?
