Have you tried this plugin?

Have a read of this article, it’ll help you make up your mind as to whether multisite is the best approach for you:

Don’t Use WordPress MultiSite

Hi @froshdimeji,

the registration process is part of WordPress. Check on the codex or on the wp forum, but i doubt that a phone number can be used instead of an email. Perhaps it can be added to the mandatory username, password and email fields. But sorry, i have never heard about such.

Note that BP allows you to add fields to the register page, but these fields will never be part of the registration itself. So even if you add an xprofile phone type field, it won’t be considered (as first) as mandatory for registration.

No problem also hosting on GH. I’m actually doing that myself. My approach is GH for dev, wordpress.org for distribution. See here https://github.com/lsquo/octothorpe

Cool theme! Will you be submitting to wordpress.org?

BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin so will need a copy of WordPress to run. Does that help?

Try this plugin from @johnjamesjacoby:

Did you try this?

What you need is not a simple plugin.
You may need a commercial solution or to hire a developer to write custom code.

If you consider all your users to have the same ability to publish, you can simply setup WP’s default role from subscriber to author. You don’t need a plugin to do that. To allow categories, search on WP codex, as this has nothing to do with the fact you use BuddyPress.

For customizing the Howdy menu item, use this custom snipet or take one of the existing plugin to do that.

BuddyPress’s toolbar menu works like any other toolbar sub-menu item.

See WP codex for details

OK, so fresh over-install (copying overtop of running site) of 4.7 and as soon as I turn on buddypress, I loose the admin completely. Take it out of the folder via ftp, then I get admin back. Thoughts.
New godaddy hosting account
Wordpress 4.7
current BuddyPress.

1. Yes

2. You mean WP posts ? Yes, if you give them permissions.

3. They can ‘friend’ each other. There is a plugin re ‘Follow’.

4. Probably – but you’ll need to customize the Follow plugin.

You should install BP on a test site and start trying different settings and additional plugins.
After you have done that, you can ask more specific questions here.

Hello BP Team,

I’m the Founder of MyKenz. We created a website based on your plugin to connect the schools and clubs of the world and teach soft skills to the youth.
This project is very ambitious but thankfully, we have the support and help of very important international partners. The aim is to help kids and teens around the world to learn what they love but cannot find in school.

One day before launching the website to the public, we had a issue/bug on the “Post Update” feature. It works for Facebook registered users and also for manually created users (via WordPress admin dashboard), but it doesn’t work for new users who created their account through “Registration” process.
By ‘not working’ I mean that when a user tries to post an update on the Activity Feed, he sees a message : “There was a problem posting your update. Please try again”.

Our freelance Dev contacted you to help him but your advices were not enough to solve our issue.
The website is now blocked for 2 weeks and we really are in a big mess.

We really need your help to debug this urgently and apparently we cannot do it without you.

Can you please get inside the site and try to find a solution ? We contacted the devs of the template (Woffice from Alkaweb) and they couldn’t do it… They advised us to get in touch with you.

I beg you to help us as soon as possible.

Best regards and wishes for 2017

There is nothing wrong with using a plugin. Check WordPress .org for a plugin. If you insist and do not want to use a plugin you can check through the code to find out how they accomplished it

BuddyPress display members, but those members are referenced in WordPress. No idea to share about what you want to do, but have you searched on the plugin repo ?

@baramagnus,

official requirements for WP (hosters) are given here. Minimum php version for WP is 5.2.4, while most used php version is 5.6
More WP stats here.

BuddyPress users use all 5.3 and above (as of preliminary 2016 survey results).
This means that if you use 5.6, you’re anyway fine.
And about WP and BP compatibility, you can read here.

Hi @mohamedalikortli,

thank you for the sharing, but I am afraid that your proposal is not acceptable in regard of coding best practice. I let your snippet in place, but i also warn all readers to use it, unless they know what they do.

This forum is public and most users coming here for help are querying at first for BuddyPress related issues solution, not third party plugin tricks like the one you share here. The majority is also not very comfortable with php or even site development.
This aspect is one of the main reason to provide usefull and safe code.
IT IS NOT THE CASE HERE – and i wouldn’t recommand it.

Not because it doesn’t or wouldn’t work ( and i haven’t tested it), but because it is not correctly written. Allowing such a snippet is like encouraging (and by the way perpetuating) bad practices. Hopefully you understand and agree that we don’t want this on the BuddyPress support forum.

@sbrajesh ‘s BuddyPress Clear Notification plugin was last updated in march 2016, which is pretty recent. I doubt that the bug is in his plugin and i expect more a menu related issue… but this is only an expectation of mine.

If you estimate that your workaround is helpfull for that plugin, get in touch with Brajesh or publish it on the plugin support.

By the way, next time you publish code on this form, use the code button available on the editor toolbar to insert it properly.

FYI about what you did wrong or not properly:
– hacking a core file. Notification template should be used, but from inside a child-theme, not directly from bp-legacy).
– comments should be in english (some in your example are in french)
– your recommendation is against all WP usage:

copy this script into ur document root where u have installed ur wordpress

– you can add custom code via bp-custom.php. There is also no need to go to wp root, when you can do the same thing from within your child-theme.
– why do you recall jquery ? It is already loaded when you run BP…
– i’m not a developer, but i’m pretty sure there are other things to mention about coding.

In regard of the script itself, BP provide much simplier way to delete notification or show a delete button: reference.
You’re also using french in that script.

Calling a file “test” is ok, but in that case you should provide some explanation on how to finally use your snippet. As already said, not everybody here is able to understand – and use raw code – when you provide a workaround. Providing code is fine, providing code+tutorial is always better.

Désolé d’être sévère et rien de personnel, mais juste une mise au point nécessaire.

Hi,

that’s a general wordpress knowledge question. Read here how to proceed:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates

@johnjamesjacoby This specific error has already been fixed in BuddyPress trunk a couple weeks ago (I don’t have the changeset number to hand). netweb fixed an identical problem in bbPress a couple of months ago: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6113/trunk

The issue reported by @larsivar two weeks ago is by a change in PHP 7.1. We have fixed this specific issue for an upcoming release — our ticket tracking PHP 7.1 is here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7392

While we could ship a release today to fix that specific error, there is at least 1 other PHP 7.1 error that I know about, which is in WordPress itself, which I reported here https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39277

We’ll do more testing for PHP 7.1 in BuddyPress in the first couple weeks of the new year (probably) and ship what fixes we have. We may or may not choose to wait for the next minor release of WordPress (4.7.1) before doing that. Still to be determined.
