BuddyPress.org

I also get the same error on a fresh installation of wordpress….

Hi Ron. Thanks again for this – it will mean I won’t have switch themes mid-development to integrate BuddyPress into a project. Very grateful!

I just gave this a quick install tonight and here are a few issues:

– Error message in the branding area;

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ was given in /home/.perro/czoltok/my-url.com/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339

– Clicking on usernames redirects to homepage;

– It seems that there are two version of the navigation bar – the regular one, and the buddypress one – stacked on top of each other. On the top row are my regular pages and a search bar that has been added in my functions file, and just below, there are tabs for “Home” and “Members”, as well as the BuddyPress bar.

– I have the admin bar of Buddypress set to not show in the functions file, but there is a gap in my WordPress admin page where it would normally go (it’s blank, but the gap remains).

I’d prefer not to put the testing site up here, so I’ll DM you the URL.

Thanks!

the more you try to get this one alive, the more you kill it on your own.

no answer mean no solution YET…

sorry boone it’s an old update. I should have mentioned that.

I added another person to the group just now and their avatar showed up, so it’s fixed… thank you

I’m curious if you have any plans of adding the ability for the admin or moderator to add members who are not friends to a group via the front end instead of the back end.

Basically I am doing everything I can to keep people away from the back end of wordpress. I plan on having a lot of moderators for bp, who really should have no reason to ever see the back end if possible.

If not, no worries, the plugin works perfectly as it is. a HUGE thank you!

Hi dpee,

We are using the plugin found here: http://www.myreviewplugin.com/

I HIGHLY recommend it. The support is amazing (we have found a few bugs and they were fixed within a day). It is the best WordPress review plugin hands down.

I use 1and1 for a couple of my sites…

From what they tell me, 1and1 will not work with most wordpress or wordpress mu sites because they only allow php limited amount of memory.

You can change the memory in php.ini and if you use phpinfo it will show up as 64mb, but at the server level they have it configured for this:

These are the following restrictions on our “Linux shared business” hosting packages.

A process may only use a CPU at 100% for 6 seonds

A process may use a maximum of 12 mb of RAM

A maximum of 12 process to be run at any 1 time

They do have a shared developer package with a lil better memory, but you’ll probably still get the issues…

In your theme/child theme, you just need to add new widget areas in, same as any regular WordPress theme. I’m not a theme expert but have a look at http://www.themelab.com/2008/04/18/see-how-easy-it-is-to-widgetize-wordpress-themes/ under “Multiple Widget Ready Areas”

I don’t even have it my options. My site was just a standard wordpress with the buddypress plug in.

only problem with removing the link:

<?php echo bp_get_root_domain() . '/' . BP_GROUPS_SLUG . '/create/' ?> someone could still access the url directly to start the process.

I went ahead and created a plugin (waiting on repo request on wordpress.org) to disable the steps and show a ‘new groups creation is closed’ message. Also added in a midlevel-cap to allow another set of users the ability to create private/hidden + w/forums. I may expand this to restrict other steps in the group creation process (as other plugins using the group extension api may add in their own step)

Basically the plugin removes the $bp->groups->group_creation_steps – adds in a custom position 0 step to display a closed page.

If it’s related to user blogs, you’re better asking over at the wpmu forums,

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/view/all-topics

Where there are plenty of topics discussing just this very thing. (Yes, it’s possible, yes there are plugins)

If you guys can agree on an existing GPL events plugin that works in WordPress I might consider extending it or forking it to work with BuddyPress. The one that David Lewis mentioned looks promising, and I would probably fork that one since it hasn’t been updated for 9 months (depending on what the author has to say).

The GroupBlog plugin does not fit into that structure really well. While it does some of it, it really is going a different direction in its approach. You’d be best to take a look at this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-community-blogs/

It is no longer under development for a year and will not be updated either. It will not work with 1.2, but it does do what you desire. You could at least use that as a starting point and port the code to bp1.2.

query_posts() is expecting an array to passed to it for the arg ‘category__not_in’. It looks like you are passing it a string of ids separated by commas. get_exclude_categories_loop() should be returning an array.

query_posts(array('category__not_in' => array(2,6)));

See multiple category handling here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

This is not valid PHP:

<?php

query_posts(array('category__not_in' => array(get_exclude_categories_loop))); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

This is:

<?php

query_posts( array( 'category__not_in' => get_exclude_categories_loop() ) ); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

I was actually going to use this one since I don’t need registration or payment: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/calendar/
