BuddyPress.org

Hey @marcella1981

Great to see you’re interested in developing BuddyPress themes. It might be worth also asking your question over at wordpress.org; I’m hoping there’ll be some WordPress theme authors who’ll want to turn their hand to themes for BuddyPress.

Hi @arturamirov

See the Languages and Translations article to start with. There’s also the Translator Handbook.

Hi @canwigirl,

Unfortunately, that won’t work for me, mostly because the groups are already in use and have been for over a month. I don’t use the actual comments/blogging functionality of WordPress at all on my site at all and asking the users to repost a large number of the conversations so that they could continue would be unfeasible. Really I want to know why this particular functionality is included on the forum build if it doesn’t work in the majority (make that the largest majority) of templates (Firmasite is the only one I have found where the hidden groups actually appear but it has certain appearance issues that it doesn’t appear to be able to correct without a large amount of additional coding).

Just to note, is_admin() checks if the dashboard is being viewed, not the user’s capabilities.

You make a good point.
It definitely should be exposed as a DEFINE, similar to define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

I suggest you create an enhancement ticket. Use the same user / pw that you use here.

I posted the same question and no one answered me. This seems to be a common issue with all WordPress/BuddyPress installs (I have a separate WordPress install and the same thing occurs), so it seems to be inherent in the responsive CSS code or something.

This was my question:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/toolbar-empty-for-mobile-logged-out-users/

These other threads also seems to be talking about the same, or a similar issue:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddy-bar-not-displaying/
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-secondary-navigation-menu-to-logged-out-users/

Doesn’t anyone have any advice, since it’s affecting so many of us?

And no, it was not due to a conflicting plug-in or a theme. Tests were done when the site was just installed with the default themes. The links shows up correctly on desktop, and on my Nexus 7 2013 (1200×1920 resolution) ONLY when it is in landscape mode, but not when it is portrait (empty, black bar is show). And the same empty black bar is shown on my Galaxy Note 3 (1080×1920 resolution) in both portrait and landscape. So it doesn’t seem to be due to just the horizontal resolution – but perhaps the the full (horizontal x vertical) resolution or something.

It’s pretty frustrating.

@knutta you need to install bbPress then follow instructions at

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

What version of BP are you using?

Have you seen this?

Sorry but your pasted code is wrong.
See source.
Read also the comments before you copy/paste.

@henrywright can you help out please ?

Hey @danbp,

WordPress provides a function for that. Check out wp_filter_nohtml_kses(). It strips all HTML from the string you provide so there’s no need to use preg_replace().

function hellowed_remove_html_private_messages( $message ) {

    $message = wp_filter_nohtml_kses( $message );
    return $message;
}
add_filter( 'messages_message_content_before_save', 'hellowed_remove_html_private_messages' );

@fugu78,

you are using joomla on the mainsite and WordPress on the subdomain.
Question is: is WP sharing the same DB as joomla or have you a complete separate install (db & cms) for your WP/BP site ?
Which type of WP install do you use ? Single or network ? (more about)
Are mainsite users and wp site users the same people ?

BuddyBoss has his own support forum. You probably have better to ask there directly.

Hi @medianp,

just tested the plugin on a local network install and it works.

There is just a little count error (missing arg 2) in one of the file.
To solve this, add $count at the end of line 107 in bp-community-stats.php
$count = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT count(a.id) FROM {$bp->activity->table_name} a WHERE type = 'activity_update' AND a.component = '{$bp->activity->id}'", $count ) );

Plugin author warned: Total Posts and Comments not support in multisite/network mode

Search the WP plugin repo to get the missing stats.

Hi @winnergirl

Does BuddyPress require its own independent WP site?

No. BuddyPress works just like any other plugin you might install on your WordPress website. You should just be able to click ‘activate’.

@quaelibet and @danbp can you provide details of how you setup a vhost? I googled and have been able to setup a vhost but it only access the xampp page and not the wordpress page.

My host file contains the following:
127.0.0.1 buddypress.local
::1 buddypress.local

My httpd-vhosts.conf file contains the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
#DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/buddypress.local
ServerName buddypress.local
</VirtualHost>

when i run the URL: http://buddypress.local, it resolves to http://buddypress.local/xampp/ page
but when I run the URL http://buddypress.local/wp (my wordpress folder name is ‘WP’) it says page cannot be displayed. this is in internet explorer.

kindly help.

Thnak you.
Have you a test site or a local install where you can make some test ?

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

I tried to change role and other fields in new members, but nothing happened.

On a single regular install, all BuddyPress members have the default role you assigned to new users in WP settings > general. There is nothing to change at this level when they don’t show up on member’s directory.

If you need some fake BuddyPress users and content, i suggest you to use BuddyPress Default Data, which is great to control if anything is working correctly.

Deactivate your theme and all other plugins except BP and use Twenty Fifteen while testing.
Activate also wp_debug in wp-config, and see if you get somme php errors.

hum… difficult to say at t he moment, as you use 2 different site apparently.

hxxp://www.anadercategori.org/ and hxxp://pallavoloromana.it/anadercategori/squadre/test7/

Which site belongs your members to ? Where is buddyPress installed ?

BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.
