BuddyPress.org

Good question.
BP can be quite secure.
It’s more about your server and then about WP and then about any additional plugins that you may use.
There are lots of articles about WP security.
Here’s one.

Are you using BuddyPress Follow?

hi @giftvincy,

see here if it can help:

Tutorial Age Verification in WordPress – How to Enable It

Questions regarding a third party plugin should be asked on that plugin support forum.

Subsidiary question to you: how can a code snippet or WP know the difference between the mystery man picture and your grand’ma picture ?

As you know, WP uses Gravatar and some other services. You can deactivate the mystery man to use one of them in replacement. At least a more colorfull alternative, even if it’s not the answer you expect. 😉

How about WP_User_Query?

hi @osamanuman,

as you asked the same on the polylang support, i would recommend that you wait for an answer of the plugin author.
I’ve never used that plugin, anyway, by reading the description it appears that Polylang is a tool for translating any kind of WP content.

Of course BuddyPress is a WP plugin, but as it use pages differently as ordinary WP content, i don’t think that you can use Polylang to translate BuddyPress pages using the plugin default behave: translating by content. You’ll probably have to try the option translate by directory name.

While searching the support forum, i found this, about BP compatibility. Discouraging.

If you read attentively the documentation, you will see that it becames very difficult/complicated to translate BuddyPress because of some permalink settings.

You could try this plugin. It is kind of what you want.

Hi @shmk

It’s definitely possible. BuddyPress uses the wp_mail() function to send emails. By default, it uses text/plain as the content type which doesn’t allow HTML. The good news is you can change this. For example:

function set_content_type( $content_type ) {
    return 'text/html';
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_content_type' );

Hi @sbraiden

The response time on ANY page/link can range from 10-20 seconds, even with virtually all of the plug-ins disabled.

A standard WordPress-BuddyPress install, running on the most basic hardware with little web traffic would respond far quicker than this so there is definitely a problem. Sometimes (although not always) the problem can be elsewhere (not your host). I’ve seen some badly-written themes cause page load times to lag and the same goes for certain plugins. I think the first step for you to take (before you go through the upheaval of changing hosting company) is to determine the exact cause of the problem. If you’re definitely sure it’s the host, then definitely make the switch. From a personal point of view, I’ve had problems with 1&1 in the past so switched host and have never been happier.

Post author is a wordpress concept. And WP doesn’t allow authors to delete comments.
Search about caps on WP Codex or see on the WP forum if you find some help.

Activity feed is not retroactiv, and will never be i guess ! It’s a feed, not an archive with updates. 😉

If interrested by future of BP development, see here

I’ve had a similar situation in the past this plugin was able to help straiten things out for me it was made by jjj the lead for bbpress:

Do you use the french WordPress install ?
Have you selected “french” as your site language ?
dashboard > settings > general

1) Issues with BuddyPics can be reported on the plugin support.

2) Similar and answered question here

@mamtagupta,

did you missed BuddyDrive settings ? See
dashbord > settings > buddydrive (wp-admin/settings.php?page=buddydrive) where you can handle mime types; slugs, max file size upload etc

Once activated the buddydrive access is showing in the usermenu (top right corner)
your-site/members/username/buddydrive/

A user must have uploaded a file to appear on the buddydrive admin (your screenshot is empty) !

A good start point for buddydrive is to read the plugin doc. For any technical question about this plugin, please use the plugin support.

If all this is already checked, as you use many security and cache plugins, i recommand that you check these different settings to track some special authorization who maybe disallow file uploads or that kind of restriction…

Aside, your site is not updated and you use a dangereous sensible (temp admin) username.

The page at https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/ states

Multiple WP networks can be created with either:
▪ WP Multi Network
▪ Networks+

I use Networks +.

There may also be other combinations of plugins that may work.

Googling “wordpress”, “buddypress” “multi-network” or “multinetwork” should be sufficient to come across the few others that may fall into these categories – such as Networks for WordPress at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/networks-for-wordpress and BuddyPress Multi Network at http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/ .

Examining all of the them as well as studying their support forums would be useful in making a decision on which combination to use for your particular requirements.

Given that a multi-network plugin will essentially hold the entire show together I would venture that it is well worth the research you are now undertaking.

Just to be perfectly clear, I am an open source enthusiast but I am not an open-source absolutist though some are and are perfectly entitled to be.

If something works, saves hours of time when compared with other items, is supported and is reasonably priced I will use it (when my budget allows) and will say so.

But, I can only vouch for what I know works.

I can only vouch for, in this case the plugin I cited above, and the continuous free support over a number of years, which comes from recognised top class developers.

This support alone should ordinarily have cost many $X,00s, bringing the price of said plugin deep into negative figures – i.e considerably less than free.

Hi @jgob

These questions are not related to BP specifically, rather, they apply to WordPress generally. Whilst the guys here may be able to help, you may have more joy asking over at wordpress.org

Activation and registration are WordPress dependant and are not only “BP components”. These pages may not be created automatically, depending your WP settings… But according to the error message, you have now to create them.

I understand that you are a bit confused, as you’re in a discovery phase of BuddyPress.
But you should also understand that i can’t explain step by step the whole Codex (WP & BP!).

I guess you have to read the doc very attentively. Searching the forum or simply reading some topics will also help you to understand how all this is working.

Install first correctly WP and BP and use one of the Twenty theme, the time for you to learn a bit more. Once you’re comfortable with WP & BP, start your theme development.

The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair

means that you haven’t installed correctly this 2 BP’s component pages. Read here to understand how this works:

Configure BuddyPress

BP 2.x is compliant with almost any theme. bp-default theme is no more used and only there for backwards compatibility.

Templates are in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

Hi@mmaccou the issue is related to trigger(content) used in js only as far as i remember may be this thread comes handy for you,btw which version of buddypress and wordpress you are using i hope its latest one.
Thanks

If you want help, you must give details: about what you did and how, theme name,…

That said, the Toolbar belongs to WordPress.

Some ideas here:

Remove WordPress Admin Bar CSS

Quick Tip: Override WordPress Toolbar Styles

BuddyPress use only a few and very minimalistic CSS. See at the end of /bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css for some styles applying to smartphones.
