I’m trying to get two new sites up and running so would appreciate some help please?
hi,
I’m able to set the page “activity stream” as startpage of my blog in wordpress under “Settings > Reading”, set front page to “Activity Stream” but I don’t see the option to set Members Directory as the startpage.
I tried to manually enter “members” in the database under page_on_front and show_on_front. Because when you set the startpage to activity stream it reads “activity”
I doesn’t work.
Can anybody please assist me?
Thank you.

Hello,
After a long time,I am back to buddypress.org..
I am now tying to integrate Buddypress1.2.1 with my Single wordpress blog(WP2.9.2).
When I set the front page to Activity stream,the other pages of my blog are displayed in the front page one below the other..
Can any one please tell me how to fix it??
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep
Ok, we’ve found another bug. We’re running BP 1.2.1 and WPMU 2.9.2 on our site. We’re using the default theme bundled with BP 1.2.1 and are displaying the “sitewide activity” option on the front page.
When we place the “Members” widget in the sidebar it only displays some of the user’s display names correctly. More precisely, for some users it displays their “username” while for others it shows their “display name”.
But everywhere else on the site their “display names” are always shown, which is what we want. But why isn’t this happening on the “Members” Widget? Logging in as some of the users I see that in their WordPress dashboard profile that their nickname hasn’t been changed at all.
If I change their nickname from the wordpress dashboard then it displays correctly on the “Members” widget. But changing the “display name” in Buddypress doesn’t always change the “nickname” back in WordPress.
But then I log in as another user and now even changing their publicly displayed name in the WordPress Dashboard doesn’t change their “display name” in their Buddypress profile.
So there’s some inherent problem with the Buddypress/Wordpress profile syncing.
And yes, I’ve checked that the “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” option in the Dashoboard “Buddypress” >> “General Settings” is marked to “No”.
Any help? Is this trac-worthy?
When you say blog post you mean more than just updating the front page activity stream? (as seen here: http://testbp.org/ )
You mean actually writing a blog post?
There’s 2 ways you might go about doing it.
1. In your blog dashboard go to “Site Admin” >> “Options” and change the “Dashboard User Default Role” to Author. That will now allow every user on your site who signs up without creating a blog of their own to be able to post on your site’s main blog.
They still won’t be able to post on the front without going into the dashboard until you switch your main blog to a theme that supports front-end posting such as P2. To make the P2 theme compatible with BP install the “Buddypress Template Pack” plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
2. Or you could instead go into your Dashboard to “Settings” >> “Reading” and set the “Front Page” to “Activity Stream”. Then install the “Oembed for Buddypress” plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/
Posthaste experiments go nowhere. I’m closer to a solution with P2, with the theme integrated directly into the bp-groupblog plugin (old version for 1.1.3…).
I’ve boiled the problem down to this: I need to tell the p2.js file which blog it is operating in. Without a blogid it assumes it’s working on the main blog.
The solution is probably in here somewhere: Get blog_id in external files. Also mentions the switch_to_blog function that Marius Ooms pointed out to me in bp-groupblog.
How can I turn that into a line of javascript that I can add at the top of p2.js? ‘var something = something;’?
Or should I add something to functions.php? It has functions like this:
function latest_post_permalink() {
global $wpdb;
$sql = "SELECT ID FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1";
$last_post_id = $wpdb->get_var($sql);
$permalink = get_permalink($last_post_id);
return $permalink;
}
What should I add to a function like this to tell it from which blog to get the last post permalink? Or can I add $blogid as global or something like that?
Hello there-
I’m trying to get the “Multiple Content Blocks” to work:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multiple-content-blocks/
I tested it in WP 3.0a with super simple twentyten child theme and it worked like a charm. I turn on BP with my child theme and it fails…
I don’t have a clue why.
Can someone confirm this with their child theme?

We have run into an issue on our site that is causing some problems. Currently, when a user registers on the site the table user_url in wp_users is not populated with the url of their profile. This does not become populated until they edit their profile page at /username/profile/edit/group/1 and save it.
This causes problems if they comment on a post before they edit and save their profile because then wp_comments.comment_author_url is left blank, which results in function calls for that field to return nothing.
We basically need wp_users.user_url to be populated on registration to avoid this issue.
We are using Buddypress 1.2.1 and wordpress 2.9.2
Brajesh Singh has a plugin for that:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/
You might have to modify it to suit your needs.
@itoube he’s using WordPress not WordPress MU.
question is interesting for me too.
So I setup WordPress+BuddyPress. BuddyPress doesn’t come with any function to add links, photos and videos.
So what will I do ? Use some other Buddypress compatible plugins for these functions ?
So, following up on http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/16906, why does BuddyPress show me the site name in the header of every blog, no matter what the blog may be called?
Thanks,
excellent summary, Thomas!
has anyone had any issues with the avatars in the sidebar? Mine are all showing up in a vertical line instead of a block. I’m using the BP Template Pack with BuddyPress 1.2.1. I’m working on a client site that isn’t live yet and I would love to get the bugs worked out before we upload it to a permanent url. http://workingonthisnow.com/MHA
Thanks!!
Does anyone tried the BP-FBConnect plugin with BP1.2 on a single WordPress install 2.9.2? any issues?
@peterverkooijen I think I understand your structure a bit, however frontend posting will always be tied to a theme that is activated on the blog itself. I don’t think it will be possible to post from the group url. Not until frontend posting develops into a plugin rather than tied deeply into a theme. If all the features P2 offers would be part of a plugin, than it could be activated on any theme and we would be one step closer to post from within the group.
You could potentially still do what you wish, nut it would require each blog to set up two front pages as described here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page
You could then use one front page to be loaded inside the group structure and style it as the group by attaching a unique stylesheet. Your other front page would be the main blog front page and could look entirely different.
That is probably as close as you will get, until someone comes up with a clever frontend posting plugin.
I will be making a child theme for P2. From there you can set that theme as the default group blog theme, wish will enable frontend posting.
That is not the same as frontend posting on the group home page. You can already use P2 as the group blog theme now.
Also note that in 1.1.3 group blog defaults are overridden by the blog defaults plugin. Haven’t yet tested if that is different in bp-groupblog for 1.2, but for my site I don’t want another category of blogs that looks and behaves different from the other blogs.
For me the groups and blogs serve different purposes; the blogs are for “individual expression”, the groups are for interaction, collaboration, community, etc. I don’t want to mix and confuse those functions.
The group home in my site should become a collaborative space. Front-end posting is a first requirement, so I’ll continue to bang my head against the wall trying to figure that out.
