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.
Hello Guys!
I have a WordPress site with Buddypress. User registration is managed by WordPress or Buddypress?
This is the problem: in my site there is a spammer (not a robot, but a person!) that registers a lot of users and uses them for creating flames. Blocking IP is useless because he has different connections (mobile, etc) and the IP changes always. He create new emails, and makes registrations.
Now I am quite expert in looking at the emails he uses. So If I could “disable” the automatic registration, and enable each new user manually, it could be ok. I mean: a user makes the registration, but doesn’t receive the email for clicking. He has to wait for me, that I see the “pending” registration and approve them manually.
Is this possible? Is this the best solution?
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.
i’m enabling in permalinks setting the custom Structure with this value : /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ .
this is the permalink for my member page : localhost/wordpress/index.php/members/ (it’s working showing all members)
and this is my htaccess in www/wordpress
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
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)
@danbp , thank you for your asnwer , but i am not using groupes .
and the http://localhost/wordpress/members/ works it shows all members . but when i click on a user i get a 404 on http://localhost/wordpress/members/username .
i get the same error when i acces any user profile link from any page on my site .
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. š
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
in my forum when they display links to the author or a user , when clicked they redirect to
http://localhost/wordpress/members/root/ (or / username depends on user )
but i get a not fount page . i have already a page named members .
im using
wordpress 4.6.1
buddypress 2.7.2
anyone have the same problem ?
thank you
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.
Hey guys,
I had to downgrade this morning when two of my sites started showing errors. This is what I got:
ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /var/www/that-dope-site/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 316
I also noticed the error on a remote website and it occurred last night: http://rodamania.com/
Just reporting. I solved the issue by simply downgrading my version of BB.
Current BuddyPress version: 2.5.10
– Clean install of wordpress 4.7 with just standard theme settings.
– Pretty permalinks are selected.
– No other plugin is activated.
– Have tried to clear cache and cookies.
– My host is one.com
The installation of buddypress works, but when I press activate all the information from the dashboard disappears. Only the menu bar on the left appears to be normal, but the rest of the page is blank no matter which link I press.
Once I delete the buddypress plugin from the server I am able to use the dashboard again as normal. Have tried this in both firefox and chrome.
Any idea what could be the problem here?
Found the source of the issue. I had put the field (First name (Base)) in another group of fields, because it only makes the registration process longer and doesn’t bring anything valuable to the site. But when yo do so, it breaks the registration process for some reason. It no longers makes the required verifications.. I’m now implementing the solution of changing is_required described here by ModemLooper : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5373?cversion=0&cnum_hist=3
It seems to work, I only have a issue with the css (I put a big div with display none before xprofile fields and I’m closing it at the end, just before the submit button, but it puts the submit button on the right as if the xprofile field was there, weirdly/
Buddypress should really have that in core as this required Xprofile field is really not user-friendly AT ALL. š
Thanks everyone ! š
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…
Wordpress version: 4.6.1
Buddypress version: 2.7.2
On my āsite-wide-activityā page, I have a āvote featureā installed (like voter plugin).
Everything is working, but Iām having trouble finding a way to refresh the activity under the āload moreā button at the bottom of the page (to see older activities).
The āvote featureā doesnāt appear on the posts under āload moreā.
Iāve tried everything is possible to resolve the issue:
Base themes, code inspection (ajax an load more function).
I installed ratingwidget plugin and I got the same result.
I’ve also tried to get url generate from load more button and paste it directly on the browser, and everything is loading properly
<li class="load-more" style="display: none;">
Load more
How can I try to resolve that issues, i found also same issue in older posts without solution.
Hello @danbp,
Below are the details, as requested:
– The WordPress version was 4.6.1.
(upgraded to 4.7 to see if that will solve the problem, but it didn’t).
– The BuddyPress version is 2.7.2.
– The BbPress version is 2.5.11.
– The problem started when I upgraded from “WordPress 4.5.3” and “BuddyPress 2.6.1.1” to “WordPress 4.6.1” and “BuddyPress 2.6.2.”
– The theme I tested with is: Twenty Sixteen.
– I have not modified the core files.
– WordPress was installed as a directory, in both root and a subdirectory (Both are having the same problem).
– The only custom functions in bp-custom.php is define ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’.
– The server is running on nginx, and there are no errors in the server log files for today.
I deactivated all non-BuddyPress related plugins, to make sure they’re not the cause of the problem.
This is the only notice that ever appears on the screen and in the source of the page:
<div id=”message” class=”bp-template-notice updated”>
<p>You successfully left the group.</p>
</div>
This happens when I click the “leave group” button on the Groups page, and then refresh the page. After that, if I click on a BuddyPress profile page, it will still display “You successfully left the group” on the profile page as well. Trying to create a new success or error notice by clicking the “Add Friend” button, making an “edit profile” change, or refreshing the page does not change or remove the notice either. No other notice will show except for “You successfully left the group.”
I do not use any cache plugins.
I contacted the host company to see if there is a problem with the install or the server, but they said they couldn’t find any problems on their end. They cleared the server cache and uploaded new WordPress files, but the BuddyPress problem is still there.
Why is “You successfully left the group” the only notice showing on all bp templates?
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
BP Version 2.7.2
WP Version 4.7
Yes this is a problem with the WP Themes 20-14, 20-16
eltconjunction.com
Yes, this was a problem before the upgraded wordpress yesterday.
ISSUE: Pages inside of Buddypress Setup are not populating any information. Are there supposed to be shortcodes inserted or what is the deal? SO, Members, Activity Stream (Community), Groups, Register, and Activate; none of them function. Members is just a blank page, just completely blank and then the others show the edit button and nothing else.
This problem is why I switched but now I decided to try to power through here..so please help me out. I am a novice but I do know a few really small things…and the power of GOOGLE.
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.
