Hi @rglennnall

WordPress uses Plupload for file uploads, so you may want to check out that:

https://github.com/moxiecode/plupload

Hi,

do you mean this plugin ? If it is the case, you have to ask the author directly.

Or if you only want to add some comment to a content you share, you can use this plugin. It is outdated but still working (i use it without trouble since years).

it could be possible that your host plan doesn’t allow you to use BP.
it could be possible that you shouldn’t use php 7.1, as BP is not completely ready to use this latest php version.

To get sure, create a php info file and upload it at the site root (same level as wordpress)
Once uploaded, go to your-site/phpinfo.php. There you will see all information i asked you about your install. Check them and report them here please.

If you have an access to a php config via your host admin interface, go there and try to set it to php 5.6 or 7 instead of 7.1

Yes, it is not recommended to use 3rd partys automated WP installation tools. It is also not recommended to use page builders. Such tools are rarely updated, correctly maintained and often bugy… For 1.5$/mounth you can’t expect the creme de la creme, even if talented marketers try to suggest you the opposite.

Just jumping back in on this one.

I’ve been developing a large & complex WP site (60+ CPTs using Pods & BP) for the past few months on PHP 7.1. I ran all PHP 7.1 RCs and so far the only issues I’ve seen are related to BP. I’m now at the point where I’ve had to disable BP to continue development on PHP 7.1 (I need nullable types and void returns from PHP 7.1) and ignore any BP features I have on my roadmap until it’s stable (I hope soon 🙂 )

I can’t report any issues with WP-core and PHP 7.1 that I’ve witnessed.

No trying to say that BP is crappy 🙂 – just a hint that the issue may be more likely to be on BP side (especially since it seems that BBPress had a similar issue which they’ve already fixed – see my link in previous post).

The other issue I’m seeing on PHP 7.1 seems to be related to enabling Opcache and BP – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7361

Hope that’s helpful 🙂

Okay. The story is that PHP 7.1 is supported by WordPress 4.7 (or newer). Likewise, BuddyPress will need at least that version, too.

We’re currently tracking some unit test failures in PHP 7.1 (see the very bottom of https://travis-ci.org/buddypress/BuddyPress), but we’ve not figured out if they are our bugs, or some bug in WordPress core. Likewise, this do_action issue might be a regression WordPress should fix instead of us (if we’re getting caught by this, I bet many other plugins are, too).

At any rate, I’m going to try to fix the unit tests once I get a PHP 7.1 box set up (hopefully this week), and then I’ll test the basics of BuddyPress, and see what other issues crop up, and fix or report them as necessary.

I think I’d wait a month or two to use PHP 7.1 with WordPress and BuddyPress in the wild, to be honest.

Thanks for finding that one.

I’m trying to get someone from the WordPress team to confirm some details on their PHP 7.1 support, and once I have that, I’ll reply here again.

Hi,

not sure that this plugin was made to run with a defined root blog.

If you have issues with settings, you better have to ask for help on their support, or at least, read the documentation.

localhost/wordpress/index.php/members/: this is wrong and shouldn’t be used – even if you think it is working. It is not and that’s why you get a 404

This path should be localhost/wordpress/members/ or even localhost/members/
You cannot have a slug to a file followed by a directory. This doesn’t work, never and nowhere.
index.php is a file
/ is a directory
members is a directory name

Your htaccess is wrong too (at least for a standard install). Read here.

Check your local server settings first and reinstall correctly WordPress.
They’re hundreds of tutorials on the web. Select a recent one (> 2015) and follow the instructions.

If you are using latest WordPres (4.7). Then use custom WP-API endpoint to post content from cross domain. https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/

You will have to authenticate somehow, preferably oauth. https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/

https://v2.wp-api.org
https://oauth1.wp-api.org

I mentionned “groups” because you asked about forum – usually bp+forum is group forum…

What have you entered as site url in WP settings and what do you have in htaccess file ?
Did you enabled pretty permalinks ?
What is the permalink of your members page ? (the one under the page title, when you’re on the WordPress page editor screen)

Check your forum settings and sync WP and BP users.

Usually on a local site, and standard setup, while you use BP group forum, the forum slug is:
http://localhost/groups/group_name/forum/
If you use wampp, you should have a list of virtual hosts (aka site names), where you installed wordpress. This means also that wp is at the site root. If your site is called mario, you install wp there and then you should have http://mario/ Once BP is activated, you’ll get http://mario/members/ or http://mario/groups/ and so on…

The link to the forum user/author/commenter is
http://localhost/members/member_name/

When you use bbPress as standalone forum (aside or without BuddyPress), the link looks like

http://localhost/root_forum/single_forum/forum_name/
Link to user is the same as the one indicated previously.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

You can also follow the bbPress install guide if you use bbPress separately.

@mohamedouqas, @vidalpaulo

if you want to change the labels for you theme you can go to your theme directory and search for these words and replace them. That’s a rough, dirty trick to avoid. 😉

Much more simple, and best practice by the way, is to use the language file shipped with your theme.

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

But as we’re talking here about BuddyPress, most of the items are in the BP language file.

“Follower” sounds more like used by another plugin. But again, you’ll find it in that plugin language file.

2) There is a plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

3) you’re right, this need some custom coding. Read here how to do that:

Navigation API

If you search the forum, you’ll find many examples too.

if you want to change the labels for you theme you can go to your theme directory and search for these words and replace them .
go to wordpress\wp-content\themes\yourtheme
what i do is search for each word like this ; i use CMD in that directory with this command findstr /s /n /i /p “keyword” * and it’s gonna display all files that contains that word and you can change it manually by accessing those files
2. to make user login in a custom page use ultimate member plugin there are a lot more plugin for this you just need to search for them
3. if you want to hide some activities all i can say is you gonna need to get your hands dirty with the code , but if there might be a way i just don’t know it

Hi,

basically, you can get it by using WP’s get_bloginfo() function (read here).

There is also this BP function bp_blog_description(), which works when you’re in the blog loop.

You have also several action hooks in the blog template (bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/blogs/blogs-loop.php) you can use to insert a blog description to the blog list.

No. Chat is plugin territory.

Hi @archie22is,

thank you for your report. But when you write such information, it is of your responsability to give correct information.

Such alarming title can confuse any user. It is unfair and to be honest, it is only concerning you (it’s your install who has that issue, not WordPress or BuddyPress, in their globality). Especially that the error message has nothing to do with BuddyPress.

In other words, you annonce 2 wrong information on the wrong forum.

The error is related to bbPress. And there is already a topic about this warning on WordPress support.

Read it and try to repair or add your own opinion to that topic.
Open also – if none exist – a topic on bbPress support.

Please be serious,

why do you use index.php (it is a file), when i give you the correct path in my previous answer ?
Such URL‘s can’t work: http://eltconjunction.com/index.php/groups/

You’re on buddypress support forum and your BP pages where correctly displayed, a few hours back when i visited your site.

The error you have now is related to ppress. If you have issue with it, you have to ask for help on the appropriate support.

I invite you to read any plugins documentation you want to use BEFORE using them. And encourage you to learn a bit about internet, wordpress and how to build a site…

Just checked your site… seems to work !

http://eltconjunction.com/register/ is ok
http://eltconjunction.com/members/ is ok
http://eltconjunction.com/members/Alliebells15/ (your profile is……. OK !)
http://eltconjunction.com/groups/ is ok (no groups, but the page is correctly displayed)

So what is the problem ? Do you mean perhaps some missing buttons to access those pages ?

Please read here if it’s the case:

BuddyPress Links in WordPress Menus

How about this:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

You need to find some tutorials on adding plugins to wordpress.

Can you get to the Dashboard in your installation? It should have the URL of http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/

From the Dashboard are you able to get to Plugins? If so then click on Add New and BuddyPress will be displayed (if not enter BuddyPress into the search, once you see BuddyPress then you can click on Install and then Activate.

If you theme’s default page has a sidebar then it’s possible to control which widgets are shown on different pages including the BuddyPress Pages by using Display Widgets SEO Plus.
