BuddyPress.org

copy your database through mysql or whatever (check that box to “add drop table” or whatever it’s called!) – wordpress.org has info about that in the codex
https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database

copy all your files.

download, upload, import database.. pray.

hi @dani-girl,

intersting question, but thought you’re wrong about Directive 95/46/CE. You have a too strict opinion ! If it would be real, nobody in Europe couldn’t use WordPress and probably also many other CMS’s.
Which is the EU country you are off ?

An e-mail is a personnal data and the directive applies. But…

WordPress need it (username, email and password) to work on registering. That is a legitimate and technical reason, which is allowed.

You don’t collect it illegaly, or by roundabout and the user has access to it any time. Emails never appear publicly on WP and are used for internal purpose only.

Opt-in is mandatory since 2002 in Europe. This means you have to prevent/ask the user before he sign in.
If you clearly write and expose publicly (and easy to access) your policy, explain why you ask the mail, that you freely remove any user data on demand for example, you can ask for an email. This is also valuable for cookies. You should inform the user that you use them… Resaling and forwarding emails for commercial purpose is of course forbidden, but only IF your site has no direct reason to do that. (e-commerce is not a direct reason 😉 )

On the other side, as site owner, you can’t use your members email for advertisement or any other mailing action without their agreement. Or you will be considered as spammer. Which is also illegal in EU.

The email requirement is a WP requirement.

There are various code snippets and plugins to get around this requirement – whether creating users only thru the Dashboard or through open registration:

Hello,

I am Andrew from the CometChat team.

@mrgiblets, am sorry that you have faced load issues. We have some very large sites like Date.com using CometChat without any issues. So there will be some tweaking required to help resolve your issue. Mostly, we will have to re-write your integration and remove the WordPress bootstrap and the load should reduce instantly. We are also launching a fully hosted version of CometChat, so there will be zero load on your server. Please do not hesitate to email me at help@cometchat.com and we will get this sorted out for you.

@mcpeanut, we do NOT make any anti-piracy checks during the standard functioning of the software. As we provide full PHP source code, you can verify this by any developer. We were making a verification call in our older versions when logging into Administration Panel but never during the standard functioning. We are no longer making a verification call even when logging into Administration Panel. Please feel free to email me at the above email address and I’d be happy to clarify any doubts that you have.

Warm Regards,

Andew
CometChat Team

Please note that we do not actively monitor these forums, so for a speedy response, please email us at the above address.

Thought that such a tutorial doesn’t exist.

Best place to get some in-depth technical information, is to search for AJAX on the Trac.

@leanneoleary,

BuddyPress doesn’t handle the Media Library.
BuddyPress doesn’t handle registration.

It’s a bad practice to allow users to upload something to your site until they’re not fully registered. When a user register, WP considers this new account as pending. As long as the user hasn’t activate his account with the activation key, he can only visit the site.

As you installed BuddyPress, i suggest you use your site à la BuddyPress.
If you want your members be able to upload files, use BuddyDrive. Each user can upload files from within his profile page and can share them on different levels (public, private, friends only). And much better as the Media Library default behave, each document belong to his user. BuddyDrive attributes a folder to each user who upload a document.

This is much simplier, well integrated and efficient in a members community as strugling with custom code (and potential errors and security issues).

Please give more details.

The standard WP menus will do that easily with a “Links” menu entry: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide

Okay…

Hello.

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in ……/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3547

Please help

As said previously, it’s a theme conflict with bbPress. If you use a custom group template in a child-theme, try to deactivate it.

A solution to this will be in bbPress 2.6.

Read here please:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2718

And deactivate debug mode on your live site, so notices & warning won’t be public.

@aaronkin

First ‘text-domain’ or ‘custom-domain’. When you build a plugin, to make it an “international” plugin so that it can be translated in any language, you choose a text domain. See: https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers#Text_Domains

Then Using post type activities. You were actually missing one of the functions i’ve shared in this thread. So here’s a gist that will work for the WP Job Manager plugin, you’ll have to observe, learn some WordPress/BuddyPress developing stuff (such as the Plugin API) by yourself to understand it and be able to apply for any post types.

Re Sorry: no problem, this forum can be buggy.

>why am i using the urbanfix_remove

You mean as a function name? It’s usually better not to use ‘bp_(etc)’ to avoid confusion and more importantly conflicts with BP code or code from other plugins.

It would be quite a big project to code this. If you’re not comfortable with PHP, have you tried searching the WordPress Plugin Directory?

updated buddypress today. Received the same error as above.
I did the patch (so I thought) but ended up having to reinstall wordpress all over again.
I deleted my database and reinstalled a saved copy. Everything is working now, except the error still appears in the menubar.

Wordpress Version 4.1.1
Buddypress Version 2.2.2.1
install WordPress as a directory
Wordpress & Plugins were working fine before the Buddypress Upgrade
Using Customized Theme- powermag
Operating System – linux
errorlog: 13-Apr-2015 03:36:19 UTC] PHP Warning: strstr(): Empty needle in /…./wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php on line 641

if you are comfortable access a database and editing php search here on the forums, there was a previous issue where a db column was missing. but that issue was a while ago.

Are you on multisite? also did you use a one click WordPress installer that a web host provides?

seems to be related to this:
