BuddyPress.org

This plugin is awfully close to what you’re trying to do. You might try modifying it to show groups in a drop down instead of the options offered:

BuddyPress Registration Groups

I doubt that any plugin is going to support group creation at registration; group creation is a multi-step process, and is too much to ask a new user to do at the same time as registration.

Hi, there are a lot of reasons that email fails. There’s a current issue with non-SSL domains and Outlook.com for instance: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-emails-not-going-out/

If you’re not receiving any emails from your WordPress site, start by testing your site setup with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

In any case, we’ll need more detail, like what the user’s email address domain is, to help you troubleshoot.

Sounds like you could use a non-user-specific site wide notice for that. Something like this, maybe:

Simple Notices

Hi @jcrr-

Please open a ticket about this issue: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Sounds like you’ve gathered some useful/interesting/disturbing info about the underlying issue.

Thanks!

Hey Kristjan,

Congrats on the success of your community!

BuddyPress is designed and architected to scale quite elegantly, so long as the underlying hardware can also support it. It’s a bit of a non-answer, but is ultimately what it boils down to.

(For example, WordPress.org has about 13 million registered user accounts, and on any given day they are active across the various connected properties, but there are a few dozen web servers handling the constant database reads & writes, API calls for software updates, caching various parts, etc…)

Group creation (and subsequent user memberships) all eventually just bubble down to a singular and easy to use function call, so depending on your parameters, and with a small custom plugin, could be automated pretty easily. Nothing exists in BuddyPress itself to facilitate the automation part, but there’s nothing preventing it either.

Perhaps to more directly answer your question, there is no technical limitation to the number of users or groups or group members your community could have, beyond the limitations of MySQL, PHP, and modern computing itself (maximum 32 bit integer value, etc…)

I don’t think they work that way, I also looked at BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields but that did not allow for that, just a single field to enter the value. You might want to suggest it as a feature request on BuddyPress Trac:

There is already a ticket about it: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/408

Hi @plumis-

A group will always have an admin (the person who created it), so I’m not sure about your criteria for deletion, but deleting groups is straightforward. You’re going to need to add some cron jobs that run every fifteen minutes, then find the groups your want to delete (based on your criteria). Something like this:

// Get recently created groups:
$groups = groups_get_groups();

foreach ($groups as $group) {
	// Delete groups with only one member.
	$members = groups_get_group_members( array( 'exclude_admins_mods' ) );
	if ( 1 == $members['count'] ) {
		groups_delete_group( $group->id );
	}
}

You’ll have to figure some things out, like how to schedule run the routine via cronjob (check out this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/), and also what your criteria will be. bp-groups-functions.php has many helpful functions in it that you could use.

@drpranshumehta Emails are more server-specific functionality; You can test using some plugins https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email
If the server is is not able to send emails, you can try SMTP configurations to send emails.

by default email is sent from wordpress@yourdomainname
You can change with email using any 3rd party plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mailfrom-ii/

Hi @kevin000012, seems like you had multisite enabled earlier and after migration it’s disabled. you can enable it again using the following approach.

There are a couple of plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-specific-rss-feed-menu/ you can use them to offer category RSS for your members.

@tom-corvus You can check codes at
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-default-data/tags/1.2.0/process.php with function name bpdd_import_users_profile()
BP Default data plugin have created some fields and field group for BuddyPress.

@pmaheepala domain/members/username/ should link to the front page, which needs to be added inside BuddyPress Menus http://prntscr.com/icjcek for time being, you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-direct-menus/ it’s an outdated plugin but it will serve the purpose for now. http://prntscr.com/icjklb

@grounder BuddyPress use same user table to display users, it does not have its own instance to save the password. It might be possible you are using some custom approach to create an account, and it does not set the password, and WordPress is generating an auto-generated password for it.

There’s no plugin that allows you to do that, but if you’ve got FTP access to your WordPress directories, it’s actually quite a simple task.

Firstly you need to find out the numeric user id for the person whose profile image you wish to change. I just looked them up in the bp_xprofile_data table using phpAdmin. however if that’s over your head you can go to Dashboard>>Users>>All Users and waive your mouse over that user, you will see the user id in the link address to edit that user, it will be something like …user-edit.php?user_id=17….

Once you have the user id, go to the wp-content/uploads/avatars directory. If the user already has a profile image there will be a directory with the same number as that user id, if they don’t you can create one.

Look inside the directories for one of the other users. Inside there you will find two files – ……bpfull.jpg and …….bpthumb.jpg. Download and find the size of these files, then you can create your new profile images, name them something similar (with the same length random string at the front, starting with a number, and that should be it.

Sorry I don’t have a really simple answer.

@normancates that screenshot it not BuddyPress theme specific, it’s regular WordPress Profile screenshot.
Bp-nouveau will be part of BuddyPress template files after BP-3.0 updates.

See last message:
Outlook.com and Apple iOS Mail 10 does not support HTTP URLs for the List-Unsubscribe header (which is what we are using), so the “Unsubscribe” link will not show up in these clients.

Now Outlook.com rejects those emails.
