@dhuntsha Just open up the file/s you made changes in and revert the changes. Then download zip file of BP 2.0.3 near the bottom of this page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.3, unzip it, and upload the files to your server via s/FTP.

Salutation is pointing the finger at v.2.1

@forlath Salutation needs to be updated for compatibility with BP 2.1 or the solution might just be this patch https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch

Thanks. I was trying to edit the file shown in this post:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch

I only added the, “wp_enqueue….” line and went to update the file and now nothing works. The entire site won’t load, and I can’t login to wordpress.

Yikes. I guess I’ll need to call my main website host provider ‘Bluehost’ to get some help. I have no clue what I did wrong. Thanks.

@willandmae You’re welcome! Took me a Sunday to figure out properly …

So… I opened my very first, corresponding ticket and pull request. Hope that helps.

bp-default is on the way to be removed from BP to became a independant theme…. No idea how and when, but if you want that issue be solved, thought you have to open a ticket on Trac.

BP Default Theme – moving forward with BP 1.9

Concerning any child-theme user:

BP 2.1 use CSS minifying, so if you use a buddypress.css file within your child, you have to rename this file buddypress.min.css or better, you minify really that file (eg. online tinyfier)

By doing so, you’ll prevent some site parts to be incorrectly displayed. And perhaps help some scripts to run the right way after 2.1 update.

Hi Everyone, and @imath thanks for all your awesome contributions to BuddyPress!!

On the topic of media, I wanted to point some attention to BuddyDev, so everyone who is interested in a BuddyPress media plugin can support his MediaPress efforts.

I’ve used every media plugin I could get my hands on and it currently boils down to two;

1. RT Media: (+) A lot of great features, mostly free, support for free version. (-)Very buggy, interferers with other plugins, caused site wide performance issues (for me).
2. BP Gallery (+) Simple, easy. (-) Need to pay for it or get a membership. I found a small mobile upload bug.
(Kinda 3). BP Album: No longer supported and it’s Googlecode page ironically is missing all it’s media.

So, a third option I’m sure would be widely appreciated. He’s saying it will always be free and hook into current WordPress media functionality, so I’m excited! Here’s the link for those interested, http://buddydev.com/mediapress/

I think this might be a bug with the new BuddyPress 2.1. I’ve been experiencing the same problem since the update and it seems to occur randomly.

I’ve tested it across multiple profiles and on different computer and it’s hit or miss. I’m running WordPress 4.0, the default 2014 theme, and BuddyPress 2.1.

Just wanted to chime in because I’m experience the same issue with the default 2014 theme.

Hi together,

looks as progress like @mentions were forgotten to get ported back to good ol’ bp-default.

In bp-activity/js/mentions.js you’ll find on what elements @mentions should work:

// Activity/reply, post comments, dashboard post 'text' editor.
$( '<strong>.bp-suggestions</strong>, #comments form textarea, .wp-editor-area' ).bp_mentions( users );

Here’s how to get @mentions working for bp-default theme:

1) Prevent JavaScript errors occurring by inaccurate enqueued scripts – apply this patch: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5889#comment:6

2) Extend textareas by missing class ‘bp-suggestions’. Change bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php:30 to

<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>

and bp-themes/bp-default/activity/entry.php:100 to

<textarea id="ac-input-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" class="ac-input bp-suggestions" name="ac_input_<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"></textarea>

@danbp How can we make sure this will considered for a 2.1.1 release?

Thanks and regards

Confirmed.
Ticket created.

BP’s xProfile component is not intended to be used as text editor, like the one you use to publish posts.

So far i know, ACF plugin doesn’t handle xprofile fields. But you can use it on Group component.

Hi @willandmae

Take a look at BuddyPress Like:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

In addition to the above answers, here a reasonable tech limitation

Host spec example:
Adding Storage Space

Once you reached 50k users you can probably hire a full time server engineer anyway… 😉

Here an example of a very big community (+80k users) using BuddyPress.

Glad to bring some help to the future competitor of Google, Amazon, E-Bay and Facebook thinking about NoSql in the early stage of his project.

That said i doubt a little that WordPress is tailored for a such ambition. Give news when you have 5k users. 😉

Salutation needs to update their theme.

I’m guessing the Salutation theme is an older bp-default deriviative. Tell the Salutation developers to look at this:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.bp-default.patch

What happens if you switch your theme? Do the same problems occur?

@r-a-y Theme My Login provides that functionality if the security module is enabled. I’ve used it and it seems to work quite well.

Ref: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

Whilst you’re completely right in what you say (WordPress actually encourages site administrators to use a different username to “admin’), this sort of thing is hard to avoid. Facebook, Twitter and the like all allow users to login with their username which is easily guessable after visiting that particular user’s profile page. Don’t forget though, user permissions are usually basic. However, what *should* be avoided is exposure of the administrator’s username. If a hacker were to gain access to such an account, then they could do far more damage. For this reason, the admin account is likely to be more of a target in any brute force attack than a standard ‘member’.

My advice would be, change your administrator account username to something obscure and don’t tell anyone that particular member is the admin.

Thanks for the report.

What customizations are you doing in the register.php and activate.php templates?

It does look like Invite Anyone is breaking due to changes in #5772:

Thanks for the report everyone.

Can you test the fix located here?
