BuddyPress.org

Do you mean “friends” as BuddyPress hasn’t a follow option ?
Or do you use this plugin ?

@sunday-a-james,

moved your topic to the appropriate forum.

If you exported your local site to prod server without taking some caution, it’s a normal issue.
Or maybe have you forgot to set permalinks or create BP’s page ?

Read here please:

How to Safely Move Your WordPress Site (Without Losing Anything!)

Hello @alice-kaye,

you’re not alone with that issue, which can sit in the theme (the case of 2015) or in a SEO plugin.
BP canonical names and some SEO conventions are not best friends at the moment… Sorry.

Hi @outdoorsmen

I’m not aware of a plugin but try looking into user meta. It’s a way of storing information for each user. You could store the user’s title in this way. Helpful articles will be:

Please also consider posting the problem her https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/theme-my-login

Guessing this is the same as this ticket you opened?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6238

Probably best to keep to one thread initially rather than opening the question in two separate places, and best to begin with the forum until such time as proven to be a bug and confirmed then a ticket can be raised.

How were you managing the number of viewed comments?

@pete-hudson No problem, just there’s always the danger of splitting responses across threads and becoming difficult to follow, as it happens the ticket has become perhaps more relevant and necessary so going to suggest we now close this thread and everyone can follow along if they want to on the ticket below

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6230

@mikelopez 🙂 np, See ray has a response up following on after your patch submission – which you’ve probably seen notification of – so again think we can close this thread and focus on the trac ticket.

@ishvara please see plugin author’s response here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/links-seems-to-have-stopped-working-with-buddypress-22?replies=23

@hugo

My apologies, just saw your reply.

I’ve submitted a patch on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6230 and I’m not sure how it will affect r9322

@r-a-y, I’d love to hear your feedback on said patch.

Thanks.

BuddyPress was made to extend WP standart profile fields. Normally you haven’t to use WP’s profile fields (aim, jabber, bio, etc) I you need a bio you recreate one.

The only required fields for profiles at the registering level are 4 by WP (username, email, password & pwd confirm) and the Base (field group) Name field which is added by BuddyPress.

If you use bbpres as standalone forum aside BP, you can syncing with wordpress

Thank you for this @bphelp. Noticed the same issue yesterday.

Hopefully there will be a fix Best chance for this, is to open a ticket i guess. 😉

Hi @whoaloic,

want remind some points
– posts are handled by WordPress. BuddyPress speciality are the members, not publication.
When group members want to talk together, they can use the notice editor for brief messages or if you install bbpres they can use the forum.

-It exist a buddypress group blog plugin, who allows group members to use a blog, similar to the main blog.

– BuddyPress features are developped if there is a general need, rarely for particular usage.

Of course, you can suggest an ehancement on Trac. To ogin use same credentials as on this forum. Details are explained here.

If you feel concerned by BuddyPress development, i suggest to express your opinion by participating on the brand new 2015 BuddyPress survey. 😉

@rapforthemoment You can’t put a widget on a page whether it’s BuddyPress or a regular WordPress page. You can only place a widget in a widget area.

Without knowing exactly what was done via the one click migration, it’s going to be hard to pintpoint what went wrong.

Was the one click migration intended for BuddyPress? Just WordPress? I’m not familiar with GoDaddy’s process

Hi @canadadre

There’s a very useful article that helps out with site moves. Take a look to see if there’s anything you could have done wrong when you migrated across:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

Hi @aluxi33, this can easily be done via this code

function my_disable_bp_registration() {
  remove_action( 'bp_init',    'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
  remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_page', "firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page");
    function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
        return bp_get_root_domain() . '/wp-signup.php'; 
    }

What you will need to do is first create a bp-custom.php file (make sure you add the opening and closing tags at the top and bottom ) and put it in your plugins folder, then paste the code between the php opening and closing tags and save.

This should disable buddypress registration and let you use wordpress registration as default, hope this helps.

hi @vikingpoker,

I’m sorry to hear that BuddyPress has upset you.
Members are the heart of BuddyPress and the plugin comes with anything necessary to let you manage them.

We might be able to help, would you please let us know exactly which components you activated during the BP setup ?

BuddyPress use the WordPress page system for internal purpose only. Content is shown dynamically, depending the context. When you click on a username, BP calls the pre defined member page and use the appropriate template to show the profile.

BuddyPress has also his own menu, on which you’ll find activity, members, groups so far you have activate the respective component. To access this menu, go to dashboard > appearence > menu. If you don’t see it, go to the top right corner of the screen and open the sceen option, and check “buddypress”.

You’re using a framework theme, which is not the easiest to handle if you have not much experience with WP theing. I tested it a while ago and can understand your disapointment. You may probably find good advice about BuddyPress on the Hueman support forum.

I would recommend you to use 2015 or 14 theme during the time you familiarize yourself with BuddyPress.

I invite you to read also the Codex to start with your BuddyPress.

Oh, and if you don’t understand why this is not a #1 topic in this forum, it’s probably because a large majority of user haven’t this issue. And discover here all what you can do with BuddyPress. 😉
