BuddyPress.org

@studdlypig
The admin user or primary user that is setup when a wordpress site installed is always able to login directly, and it’s initally only that user that can activate plugins i.e BuddyPress so I’m not sure why you are having trouble with activation requests. /wp-login.php should allow the admin to login regardless of whether BP is activated or not.

What account are you trying to login with, the admin user ID 1 ?

In the BP settings screen ‘Page’ tab what page have you associated to ‘Activation’ in the select box, as the redirect here appears to be the main issue and the WP link to login on the WP toolbar should redirect to the wp-login screen, which you can actually access directly by modifying your browser url so you can actually login as admin and manage your site.

fyi you shouldn’t have to trouble your web hosts to deactivate BP, using a control panel or ftp you can rename the plugins folder which will force a deactivation of the plugin or any plugin if they give trouble.

You have to learn how to find what you need for customizing your site. I allready answered. So again, for such things, you have WP Codex (as detailled previously)
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Admin_Bar/add_menu

If you need features of BP then you need both, I think so.
But before that you may ask here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/paid-memberships-pro
if you can exactly do what you are asking for.

Thanks.

hi @michaelhpdx,

maybe these posts will help you ?

Or maybe this snippet (intended for WP SEO at least) which removes canonical

function bpfr_wpseo_canonical_exclude( $canonical ) {
  global $bp;
  if ( function_exists( 'buddypress') && ( buddypress()->displayed_user->id || buddypress()->current_component ) ) {
    $canonical = false;
  }
  return $canonical;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_canonical', 'bpfr_wpseo_canonical_exclude' );

Hi @mocmocmk

A popular plugin to manage media seems to be rtMedia. I think you can display a gallery with the [rtmedia_gallery] shortcode

Hi @sofijagb

That particular email’s message isn’t filterable but the function which sends the email is pluggable, which means you can write your own function. For more info on pluggable function in WordPress, check out:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pluggable_Functions

The function you’ll need to override is wp_new_user_notification()

Hope this info helps!

To resolve this, you’ll need to look at the member pages which aren’t being indexed (look at their templates, URLs, sitemap entries) and work out what is different to the pages that are being indexed. I think you mentioned there could be an issue with the sitemap, so that’s another avenue to investigate. Perhaps try installing a different XML sitemap. Personally, I’ve used XML Sitemap which has always been reliable (and support from the author is very good as you’ll be able to see from the resolved tickets I’ve opened on that support forum). Then there is Google XML Sitemaps which has 1m+ active installs, so that looks popular

Is not Buddypress Registration same as WordPress Registration?
Thanks.

Actually you have a single install with BuddyPress with N members and activities.

Nothing will be deleted if you activate the site as network.

That said it’s strongly recommended to dump your DB before doing this.

For a better overview of the DB, see here
The BP tables are the same on MS as on a single install, and WP adds only new tables for each blog and only if you create one at least.

WP’s user table stays intact in any case, like bp activities and others related to members (profile, message and so on).

Welcome to the buddypress debug club ! Please open a ticket and give details about your install and any step to reproduce the issue. Add also a link to this topic.

Go here and use same login as on this forum.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

If you don’t know how to post a ticket on a wiki page, read here first.

Sorry but i’m unable to reproduce that. I don’t have notices or warning about this issue.

Can’t you make a test with the trunk version ? (direct link to zip – BuddyPress is in the src folder)

hi @daethian,

if you’re using BP 2.2, don’t use the “old” bp-default theme.

If you have FTP access, your wordpress should be at the site root if you want to use BuddyPress. If it’s you who created the /wp/ folder and if you haven’t any other site on the same account you don’t need it. Install wordpress directly at the root ! Mostly in a folder named www or htdocs (ie. htdocs/wp-admin, htdocs/wp-content/, htdocs/wp-include/)

But let’s say it’s correct for now.

Connect to your site and go to admin
On WP dashboard> General ensure you entered WP URL and site URL correctly (hxxp://your-site.xxx) without trailing slash (normally the same URL)
Then dashboard > Appearence>Theme and activate Twenty Fifteen
Then dashboard > Settings > Permalinks > anything but default
Then dashboard > plugins and deactivate/reactivate BuddyPress
Then dashboard > Appearence > Menu > screen option (top right), check buddypress and add the BP menu to Twenty 15

See if it works.

If not, you’ll have to setup WP correctly at first.
Return to FTP, move WP to the root, erase htaccess and wp-config and restart the installation

your-site.xxx/install
Re enter your DB name, psw and all other information needed for installing WP.
Your DB and actual content won’t be erased (but you can make a dump before, in case of).

5mn install later, you are invited to login. And you have to do what i’ve explained previously.

Wow stunning ! Are you on a local server ? MS or single install ?

Could be that something went wrong during upload.
Erase the BP folder and add a new copy.

And remove your theme from the theme directory while testing with Twenty.

I am having the same issue. The regular WordPress search box will not display any content from my Groups page. I think it is hilarious that when I go to create a group, under settings the public and private options say that group content will show up in search results. I have tried relevanssi and that didn’t help.

@rosyteddy,

snippets published on the forum are generally related to a specific topic/question. And of course, dependant of theme and/or bp version, if not php or mysql or server settings. Over the time, they stop working or can’t be used anymore because the Core changed or because of other evolutions….

Despite having a kind of snippet store accessible by forum menu seems to be a usefull idea, it is not. Each usage case is different and can not be extended to all case. FYI information, i had the same idea a few years back, and was quickly discouraged to do so by our Core dev. I was first disapointed, but i finally had to admit they where right. And today, i’m absolutely persuaded and on the same line.

That’s why you have Codexes. For WP, BP or bbP with general explanation of default usage and more rarely, with usage examples. If you find a snippet example in Codex, in 95% of cases, you have to adapt it to your personnal usage.

To answer your question, as you know, BuddyPress is (only) a WordPress plugin. When installed, the site continue to work with WordPress and WP dashboard. Nothing is modified in WP Core, only that BP was added to the site. As a plugin.

How to handle WordPress is explained and widly documented in his Codex.
Menu management, CPT management or how to modify menu items on Toolbar or Admin bar is also documented. And the’re so many sites giving WP tips (from excellent to awfull), you can read.

What do your WP settings page ‘general’ show for urls, specifically ‘Site Address (url)’? Did you check the values here after the change over?

WP codex guide on this aspect:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

Did you also visit the permalinks page under ‘settings’, just to ensure permalinks are re-freshed?

This is really a WP support issue as the problems rest with how WP is configured rather than issues specific to BuddyPress working.
