BuddyPress.org

There is a solution for this. See this plugin.

@1amyone,

you simply have to copy/paste the media url into the form.
Note that you can only use WP’s allowed medias. See the list.

read also about media embedding on the BuddyPress codex.

Embeds

I haven’t tried it but there’s also BuddyPress Compliments.

This sounds like a question for the developers of your events plugin, which plugin do you use? There will probably be a forum on WordPress.org for it.

No. But ou can replace the word in the language file by an empty space html entity (& n b s p ; ) and simply add an image, or better, a dashicon, via css.

I’ve not encountered any issues locally.

My preferred setup is Chassis to provide local WordPress environment on vagrant; then adding BuddyPress however you prefer (from wp-admin or manually). Works great on OSX (although there are some general config changes with VirtualBox on El Capitan).

Hi, no need to shout, writing in capitals is really rough. [Mod – topic title modified]

In a WordPress system, you can only upload allowed medias. You already know (probably) that you can embed videos in post by simply copy/pasting the video link into it. This works also with BuddyPress when you enter a video URL to a profile field, it plays automatically, without any additionnal player.

MP3 is an audio format and you can use the same technique as for videos. Read here.

For more advanced display, you have several possibilities by plugins (rtMedia or MediaPress) or by building a custom display which fits exactly to your need. You don’t want a plugin (?), so i’m affraid you have to do something from scratch.

That said, keep in mind that allowing users to upload “big” data files to your site is a mess. First because of the upload limitation in WordPress (by default 2 mo max.) This can only be increased if you have access to the server settings (eg. php_ini and httpd_conf). And if you have some traffic and many MP3, you need a generous bandwith. That’s why it’s recommended to use external services to store these datas. But if you follow this, you can only use what WP allows.

Before thinking about a miraculous snippet in bp-custom, give more details about the scenario you imagine for users (file amount, file size, why do you want this during registering and not later, and so on…).

Depending your answers, the solution can be very simple or very complicated.

There is no free media solution that will work seamlessly across WP Multisite and Buddypress, that is comparable to at least some degree to scripts like Elgg or Easysocial for Joomla … Rtmedia paid version is little better but using and uploading media has become so intuitive and easy (along with site super admins options eg how much to allow to upload in one go) that standard cms-es like WordPress, Buddypress, Joomla, Drupal are lacking far behind : for example see Whatsapp – how easily you can add picture from you phone cam or webcam in your gallery ( for Buddypress, Elgg etc you can do this for profile photo only) – such capacities are totally absent in social scripts like BP (WordPress or WP Multisite without BP is somewhat better if used with Jetpack).

We will never catch-up – you will never catch up unless you have deep pockets. WP+BP rest on its laurels and its sad how FB monopoly is destroying the fabric of inter-connectivity of internet.

Mediapress is not a user-friendly solution if you have to quickly or in a moderate time, deploy a social net site.

bbpress is the forum component of WordPress, it can integrate in Buddypress Groups to provide them with forums but will also work standalone.

Regardless of how you added the users, if you chose to not have emails sent, you need find a WordPress plugin that will do this for you (if any exist — resending emails is a bit niche).

If you added them through BuddyPress on the front-end, emails should have been sent out. I’d start investigating the mail configuration on your server to check it is correctly set up to deliver email.

Best request so far on this forum and surprised you reopened this thread. Buddypress, bbPress, and WordPress are so easily close the threads before anything is even discussed and easily just assumes its better to go to a theme author to implement it when it not the theme author that works on this plugin at all. Theme Authors are 3rd party. So it is better for this plugin to do the styling.

Yeah I’m not aware of any that integrate with Buddypress, all of them seem to be their own variants on WordPress.

Maybe you could ask on the WordPress Forums? This is more a wordpress issue than Buddypress.

Think you need to raise this with the plugin forum

Do you mean BuddyPress users accessing the main WP site? BuddyPress users and WordPress users are the same, perhaps with different roles and capabilities but they all live in the users table. So two-way access shouldn’t be a problem.

If you feel multisite is the way to go, then I’d suggest you set up a test install first to try it out. Creating a network will add lots of new tables to your install and rolling back won’t be easy.

Your theme not being suitable for standard pages isn’t reason enough to use multisite. It might solve your problem but it is kind of like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Have a read of this article, it will give you some things to think about before you go down the multisite path.

Please ask your question on the plugin’s support forum. The plugin author should be able to help.
