BuddyPress.org

Hi @awol You can test the BuddyX theme, which works well with Nouveau https://wordpress.org/themes/buddyx/ and can save you from having to do lots of custom CSS work on default themes.

Hi @jcknight,

Just to clarify, BP (BuddyPress?) does not have its own login pages. However, you can use the default wp-login page and customize it with a third-party plugin. There are also several plugins available that offer login shortcodes or widgets, which can help you create a login page. Hope this helps!

For the Private community, you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/lock-my-bp/ until it becomes part of BP v12.0.

Hello, I installed WordPress without utilising Softaculus, a server-side programme, then Buddypress, and ‘boom,’ I was done. Nothing, not even 404 errors, anymore. I won’t ever again use server-side software to manage my WordPress, at least not that one! Now that we know it does cause issues, I hope other people are not using it with their hosting either. The problem is resolved. I appreciate your promptness and diligence in making an effort to take care of me.
I’m grateful.

Hello,

It seems like you’re working on a multi-author website and you’re looking for a way to control access to user profiles. Specifically, you’ve implemented code to deny access to administrators’ profiles, and you’re interested in extending this functionality to subscribers as well.

To achieve this, you can modify the code you provided to include conditions for subscribers. Here’s an example of how you might achieve this:

php
Copy code
// deny access to admins and subscribers profiles. Users are redirected to the homepage
function bpfr_hide_admins_and_subs_profile() {
global $bp;

// Get the current user’s role
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_roles = $current_user->roles;

// Check if the user is an admin or a subscriber
if (bp_is_profile && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1 &&
(in_array(‘administrator’, $user_roles) || in_array(‘subscriber’, $user_roles))) :
wp_redirect(home_url());
exit;
endif;
}
add_action(‘wp’, ‘bpfr_hide_admins_and_subs_profile’, 1);
This code snippet checks if the currently displayed user’s role is either “administrator” or “subscriber,” and if the conditions are met, it redirects the user to the homepage.

Remember to replace ‘administrator’ and ‘subscriber’ with the actual role names used in your WordPress setup.

Thank you for reaching out, and a special shoutout to “TWITCHFOLLOWERFORGE“. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask!

Removing the activation URL/key combo from the activation email and requiring users to manually copy and paste the key could indeed help slow down spam registrations to some extent. This approach introduces an additional step that may be more challenging for automated bots to complete, as they would need to extract the key from the email and input it accurately into the form. While it might inconvenience legitimate users slightly, it could potentially deter some automated spam bots.

However, it’s important to note that determined spammers might still find ways to automate this process, such as using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract the key from the email. Balancing security with user experience is crucial. Here are a few considerations:

User Experience: Requiring users to manually copy and paste the activation key can be frustrating, especially for users who are less technically inclined. It might lead to a higher abandonment rate during the registration process.

Accessibility: This method might pose difficulties for users with visual impairments or those using screen readers.

Alternate Solutions: There are other methods to combat spam, such as CAPTCHAs, email verification, and behavior analysis. You might consider combining multiple techniques for a more effective anti-spam solution.

Testing: Before implementing such a change, it’s recommended to conduct testing to see if it indeed reduces spam registrations without significantly impacting legitimate users.

Hi, yeah I installed WordPress without using the server side software, Softaculus, then I installed Buddypress, and ‘walla’, I’m good. No more 404 errors or anything. I’ll never use server side software for my WordPress managing again, at least not using that one! I hope other users are not using it with their hosting either, now that we know that it does cause problems. This issue is solved. Thank you for your promptness and hard work in trying to get me taken care of.
Thank you.

Now, my hosting company Host Gator, uses a software to install WordPress on their servers called, Softaculus. A sort of WordPress manager as well. It even has it’s own plugin ( I deactivate it when it installs.) Other plugins are automatically installed with other options to install other plugins (Buddypress wasn’t one of them) before the install……hmmmmm, that could be a key for you guys….. My problem could be related to that software management install. I will check it out, but if other users might be experiencing what I’m experiencing, though I doubt it, it could be related as to how that software, used by most hosting companies, could be installing Worpress. I don’t but it’s the only thing I can think of. I will research promptly. A lot of these hosting companies are sourced out to third world countries, and I have found that they really don’t know much, and it’s always me teaching them, while we’re on the phone.

Hi @martenw I can confirm that I have identified the issue and have submitted it through trac https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8985#ticket

Hi, thank you, yeah reverted from the multisite and did a complete new install for just a regular site. I immediately install Buddypress for my first plugin to install, I do still get the 404 errors for just Buddypress pages. Regular WordPress pages are fine. I will say, that I have 3 other sites and Buddypress is performing fine. So, that also indicates that there may be no problem server side. But only for that ONE website where I completely take down the entire directory, do a complete install, and still, the same problem. I’ve been developing for 25 years and this by far is the greatest ministry I’ve ever seen or encounter, which I’m now convinced is of no fault to you developers. I can’t think of anything that could possibly cause that. Again, changing permamalink structure makes it worse. I don’t know. Mysterious.

Have you considered giving https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-attachments/ a try?

Hello,

It looks like you’re facing a PHP warning related to the BuddyPress plugin on your WordPress site. The error message indicates that there’s an issue with an undefined array key “media” in the mentioned file class-bp-core-bp-nav-backcompat.php at line 111.

Here’s how you might approach fixing this issue:

Check Plugin Compatibility: Make sure that your current version of BuddyPress (11.2.0) is fully compatible with the version of WordPress you’re using. Plugin updates or WordPress updates can sometimes introduce compatibility issues.

Review the Code at Line 111: Open the file class-bp-core-bp-nav-backcompat.php and navigate to line 111. Examine the code around this line to understand the context of the error. It seems that there’s an attempt to access an array key “media” that might not be defined.

Check Plugin Settings: If the “media” key is supposed to exist in that context, review the plugin’s settings to ensure you’ve configured it properly. There might be a setting related to media that needs to be configured or enabled.

Update or Reinstall BuddyPress: If the issue persists, consider updating BuddyPress to the latest version if available. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, you could try temporarily deactivating and then reactivating the BuddyPress plugin. This can sometimes help refresh settings and resolve minor glitches.

Theme and Plugin Conflicts: It’s possible that the issue is caused by a conflict between BuddyPress and another plugin or your theme. Try deactivating other plugins one by one to see if the issue goes away. If it does, you can identify the conflicting plugin and investigate further. Similarly, try switching to a default WordPress theme temporarily to see if the issue persists.

Debugging: If you’re comfortable with debugging, you can add some debugging statements to the code around line 111 to print out relevant values and see what might be causing the issue. This can help you narrow down the problem.

Remember to create a backup of your site and database before making any significant changes. Also, keep an eye out for updates to both BuddyPress and WordPress, as they might release patches or updates that address issues like this.

As for “FOLLOWTWITCHGURUS,” it seems like you’ve included this term, but it’s not directly related to the error you’re facing. If “FOLLOWTWITCHGURUS” is relevant to your query, please provide more context so I can assist you better.

Absolutely, incorporating voice messages into online conversations can add a dynamic and personal touch. If you’re looking for a plugin or solution that allows users to leave voice comments in the Activity Stream or forum, there are a few options to consider. While I don’t have access to real-time information beyond September 2021, I can suggest a general approach and some potential directions you can explore, including for StreamWatchers:

Audio Recording Libraries: Look for JavaScript audio recording libraries that can be integrated into your web platform. These libraries can provide the necessary tools to record audio and save it as a file or transmit it to the server. Examples include Recorder.js, Microm.js, and MediaRecorder API.

Voice Messaging APIs: Some services offer APIs specifically designed for voice messaging. These APIs can streamline the process of recording, storing, and retrieving voice messages. Check out services like Twilio, Nexmo (Vonage), or Agora, as they might offer voice-related APIs that can be integrated into your platform.

Third-Party Plugins: Explore platforms like WordPress if you’re looking for forum integration. WordPress has a wide range of plugins, and some might cater to voice messaging. Additionally, consider checking out community platforms like Discourse or Vanilla Forums that might have voice messaging integrations or plugins available.

Custom Development: If you have specific requirements, you might need to consider custom development. Working with developers or development teams, you can create a tailored solution that seamlessly integrates voice messaging into your platform’s existing features.

As for “StreamWatchers,” it seems like you’re referring to a term or brand. If “StreamWatchers” is a specific plugin, service, or product related to your query, I recommend checking the official website or documentation for information on whether it supports voice messaging or integrates with the desired platforms.

Remember to prioritize user experience and data privacy when implementing such features, especially when dealing with audio content. Always ensure that users are informed about data usage, recording permissions, and storage practices.

Before making any decisions, it’s a good idea to research the latest developments in this space and consider reaching out to relevant communities or forums for recommendations and insights from others who might have implemented similar features.

It seems that you’re encountering issues with your website, https://buriedladies.com, specifically related to the registration page and the functionality of BuddyPress. After deleting and re-uploading BuddyPress, the register page appears blank despite setting up everything correctly according to the instructional videos you’ve watched. Additionally, you’ve noticed that when you log out of the site, the register option disappears from the top menu, which is puzzling.

Regarding your second concern, it appears that individuals have successfully registered for your site due to your invitation to join groups. You’re wondering if there’s a way to manually assign them to specific groups.

Considering the situation, here are a few steps you could take:

Check Theme Compatibility: Since you’re using a Genesis theme, it’s important to ensure that it’s fully compatible with the latest versions of WordPress and BuddyPress. Sometimes, theme conflicts can lead to unexpected issues. Make sure your theme is up to date and well-suited for BuddyPress integration.

Plugin and Theme Conflict: Conflicts between plugins or themes can lead to unusual behavior. Deactivate all other plugins except BuddyPress and switch to a default WordPress theme temporarily. See if the registration page works in this scenario. If it does, then the issue likely stems from a conflict. You can reactivate plugins and your theme one by one to identify the culprit.

Permalinks: Check your site’s permalink settings. Sometimes, incorrect settings can lead to pages not displaying as intended. Go to Settings > Permalinks and make sure you have a valid permalink structure selected.

BuddyPress Settings: Double-check your BuddyPress settings, especially those related to registration and user roles. Ensure that the registration page is properly assigned in the settings and that user roles are set up correctly.

Cache and Cookies: Clear your browser cache and cookies to ensure you’re viewing the most recent version of your site.

As for your second concern about moving users into specific groups, BuddyPress doesn’t natively offer a feature to manually assign users to groups. However, you can encourage users to join specific groups after registration by providing clear instructions on your site.

Regarding “TWITCHFUSION,” it’s still unclear how this term relates to the context you’ve provided. If “TWITCHFUSION” has specific relevance to your website or the issues you’re facing, please provide more information so that I can address it accurately.

Hi,

In this support topic of the BP Attachments Add-on, there’s a code snippet to disable the beta feature about managing Avatar using the Add-on instead of BuddyPress Legacy Avatar UI:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bp-users-are-not-able-to-delete-their-avatar-image/#post-16897553
It should help you carry on being able to share media in activity updates & being able to upload avatars in a more stable way.

This is a very common issue with WordPress & BuddyPress.
WHEN The pages are cached, the hits do not reach the server and .htaccess returns the request from a cached page usually a html version right from the cache folder.

Hi all
Im getting this kind of error as well.
Installed buddypress into a new elementor site – no other plugins.
When trying to edit the pages with elementor (the assosiated pages) I get error 500.

If anyone knows how to fix this would be really appreciated.

Thanks

The error message you’re encountering indicates an issue related to accessing an array offset on a boolean value in a specific file of the Buddypress plugin. Deactivate other plugins one by one and test the update process to check if the issue is caused by a conflict with another plugin. This will help you identify if a specific plugin is causing the problem. Ensure that your PHP version is compatible with the Buddypress plugin. Check the plugin documentation or support resources for recommended PHP versions.
