BuddyPress.org

Do you mean the action that triggers the email, they are in the WordPress Action reference I think:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference

@galador WordPress login is same as BuddyPress login; you can create a themed login page as well.

IF you are concern about WordPress.com login options, it might be possible you have enabled it inside Jetpack plugin setting, you can disable from Jetpack option https://jetpack.com/support/sso/

@yusterlan
https://myweb.com/members/username/settings/notifications should point you to the login page ( wp-login.php) and redirect to https://myweb.com/members/username/settings/notifications/ after login, the link is correct and seems working fine.

Error 404 for non logged in users

Chat – BP Better Mesage :replaces the standard message system BuddyPress supports attachments (video including) and smilies, you can also conduct group discussions

groups, extended profiles, news areas, activity feeds – this is a full-time functional BuddyPress

polls – bbPress + GD Topic Polls, WP Easy Poll PRO also allows users to create polls

for photos and albums (in addition to the voiced options), you can also try BuddyDrive

but in general, you can see a list of plugins in my profile – there are a lot of things for BuddyPress (not all work correctly, but most of it is used on the sites I follow)

Thanks @venutius.

I’m actually using Paid Memberships Pro plugin for my memberships management and they just recently released a BP integration which takes care of the xprofile fields plugin problem as I was told by one of their tech support. It is better installed when you just create your site as they still have to create syncing issues between their fields and regular old xprofile fields for older members – currently this syncing is not available but will be. So as a result I will have to manually move the data over from the members prior to using their integration (about 200 people but it’s doable) . I’m waiting for the code to be installed on my site by their tech support to do this.

But if anyone is interested, they should check out PMPro for managing bp or other memberships, it really is great and it’s always supported. I am using the Pro version which is expensive per year however you get great tech support and they will go into your site to modify things and help you install various add ons and integrations. This BP integration plugin is available in free version too I believe. If you have a serious memberships site where you do or intent do make money, it’s worth to pay for the yearly fee though for support and access to more add ons.

I’ve tried other membership plugins and just wasn’t working for me.

Hopefully the old xprofile fields plugin can be cloned by someone for those who are not going to use PMpro. It’s odd that there are not many options for this plugin and it’s not supported as it’s very essential.

Here’s PMPro info:

The integration plugin below, you need the above memberships plugin installed though:

Paid Memberships Pro – BuddyPress Add On

Hi there,

I have a plugin called BP Profile Shortcodes Extra. I’ve added a shortcode to provide you with a configurable Private Message link [bpps_profile_private_message_link] you can use the user_id=”” setting to determine a specific user to private message. Let me know what you think.

Hi Glenn,

I’ve never tried Peepso or Social Engine, so I@m not speaking from a point of balance. I have tried other dedicated hosted platforms such as Ning though so I do have some wider experience.

I think your issues can be boiled down into two areas: Maintenance, and features.

Any WordPress site, any site for that matter is going to require maintenance the main question is who does that maintenance, how well is it done and how quickly new issues can be resolved.

With a WordPress/BuddyPress installation I’d say that the level of maintenance that you yourself have to do (or pay for) is going to be higher than with peepso. Much depends on what features your add to the basic installation, in my experience in general WP and BP updates are solid and cause few issues, it’s usually the other plugins that can cause issues (prime eample recently was a SiteOrigin Page Builder update that wrecked my front page and they did not fix it for several months).

My expectation with Peepso is that what you sacrifice in the way of variety of options available to you I’d hope that in return the options you do get will be reasonably well integrated with each other and less likely to cause conflicts resulting in feature or site loss that you would need to take a hand in resolving. The downside is if you find there are specific feature you need, or issues that are not getting resolved, you have few alternatives to go to, you may find yourself stuck.

I once had a paid hosted site costing $50 per month which pretty much ground to halt and the provider refused to see the problem. It made me feel pretty helpless and it was the reason I moved to BuddyPress – I figured the money I saved on hosting I could use to fund feature additions to the basic BP setup.

Anyway getting back to the point, so I reckon peepso will be less maintenance but with less features, and this brings me on to the second point – features.

I think it would probably be a good idea to map out exactly which features you want in quite some detail and see how that drives your thoughts. For example you say you want video, would this be you hosting the video files or libraries of YouTube style embeds? Would you need group galleries, user galleries, sitewide gallery etc?

Here’s what I tend to use:

Chat – IfyChat – free version limited to 10 concurrent users but an excellent chat engine
Video/photos/audio – Either MediaPress or rtMedia, rtMedia is more stylish but add-ons are quite expensive.
Groups/xprofiles, activity, friends – BuddyPress.
News areas – probably more general workpress based solutions for this, are you thinking RSS feeds from other sites or internal news (could be done with a simple News category?).
Polls – never really looked at polls, I note there is this – https://themekraft.com/new-plugin-buddypress-polls/ for starters, looks interesting but I’ve not tried it.

Regarding supporting mobile, BP is coming out with a new theme – BP Nouveau, this has options for vertical menus which I think will be a lot more mobile friendly.

The bulk of being mobile friendly comes down to the theme you are using and whilst most are responsive these days I personally find that having a mobile responsive theme is not good enough for phones, what I do is run a second mobile specific theme and use a theme switcher to detect and switch themes.

Another point to bear in mind with BP is that there are a great many plugins that help you choose how your site is going to work, there’s a range of plugins that change the may notifications and email subscriptions work. This is a benefit of BP, but it does also increase the plugin count.

@worksofweb the plugin I have mentioned add notification when someone mark favorite any activities. It’s not for regular WordPress Post.

You can check this also https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ulike/ it add like button on regular WordPress post and cpt as well.

@michaellanfield all forums created by groups are also parent forums. That’s why default will list them. You can create your own set of forums with a specific category and display them at Forum index with shortcodes.

Individual forums in not displaying at your site, it might be theme specific issue, you can cross test with default WordPress theme.

@ravipatel you can report it inside https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report

@worksofweb You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-favorite-notification/

@everaertlawyers Friendship component is not required for groups; you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/invite-anyone/ it will allow inviting any member of your site.
Members will display at member directory page after their first login.

@markleeuw user is getting logout after password change that’s why you are getting 404 error page. Try to debug with the default WordPress theme and only BuddyPress plugin, might be some plugin is creating conflict.

Hi Glenn, welcome aboard.

I’m pretty new to BuddyPress myself, at least on the in-depth side of things but I’ve been a user for a few years now. Just recently started writing plugins. I know what you mean regarding integration, I guess that’s what you get with a private system, less features but better integrated.

I’ve just created a plugin that I hope will take a step in the right direction integration wise. It’s called BP Post Status and it integrates WordPress posts with BP, allowing posts to be shared in groups and to friends. It’s also got a neat group homepage feature. If you intend to give your members the ability to blog it’s worth taking a look at. Still got a few teething problems though, nothing major, just my lack of experience shining through 🙂

@grwebs Your register page seems working fine http://grhs88.glenrocknews.today/register/
If that’s still an issue, make sure you have mapped the pages correctly inside the WordPress Dashboard
Setting >> BuddyPress >> Pages

MY PREVIOUS POST IS MISSING SO I’M REPOSTING AND HOPING THIS ISN’T JUST LAG…

OK I found a more targeted way to fix this. Short answer, I added this code add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'stripslashes_deep' );

HOW I added it is kind of important, I think. I’m running a plugin called Code Snippets https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

By creating a snippet with just the code above, it takes care of removing those backslashes from comments on activity before it is displayed on the front end. If you apply the fix with this plugin, you can also select “run on front end” in the snippet editor for efficiency/performance.

If you wanted to fix it in your child theme (I don’t know why you’d only want the fix to be theme dependent, but that’s up to you …) then I believe this code would go into your functions.php (untested):

add_action('plugins_loaded', 'jrevillini_buddypress_get_activty_content_body_stripslashes' );
function jrevillini_buddypress_get_activty_content_body_stripslashes () {
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'stripslashes_deep' );
}

Now I know that stripslashes is already applied to bp_get_activity_content_body by buddypress itself because I found it listed in this document, line 00079: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2NrrKAXLm0JQ01GT1ZGQlVOMkE/view (so my code *seems* redundant)

The only thing I can assume at this point is that the code built into buddypress to attach the filter is running too early for all output possibilities at priority 5. By simply adding it into a code snippet which is running as a plugin at the default priority, it seems to do the job before output on the member activity endpoint.

It should be noted that even without my fix, the same activity post will appear fine at some endpoints and not others.
The ones that I found that already worked:
* within a discussion e.g. /members/NAME/activity/73/#acomment-74
* on /member/NAME *as a reply* but *not* as an activity post

@kriskl You can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/inactive-user-deleter/
Make sure you have created a full database backup before trying the plugin

@axcelluloid You can filter inside BuddyPress Strings, it’s not inside BuddyPress codes
You can also search via Find in folder approach for BuddyPress plugin

By Default, BuddyPress only need account activation via email to start using the site.
“Please upload your profile photo to start using this site.” must be coming from your theme or any 3rd party code.
