you seem to be affraid by the term “legacy”… ?
Read here some explanation about legacy

Like BuddyPress, bbPress is only a plugin.
Generally when you need a theme, you search a theme for wordpress, not for a plugin.

Of course some a better than other, or better tailored to do something than other, but in anyway, no theme can be perfect for anything.

And in some case, ready to use is not synonym of adaptable ready.
If you search forum themes, see first what other forum software have to propose. One of the most popular, phpbb, is desperatly identical from one site to another in 90% of case.

When you have 1 000 of WP theme and you add a bbpress or a buddypress group forum, you have potentially 1 000 different forum look.

Basically it’s a grid, so it’s a bit difficult to present a forum in a very original maner. And finally too much work for many users or considered as out of rentability (100 hours to get a nice forum and 3 topics after 2 mounth….search the error ! )

@arximughal You only need to activate one WP theme. So if you’re already using the7 theme, you don’t need the Status child theme anymore. As for the BP Default theme, it’s been phased out http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/

About your first post, why don’t you show the site activity by using the topic filter instead of the default “all activities” ?

Or you can try buddypress-wall plugin

Regarding the roadmap, 2.1 is due any time soon. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap

@julia_b

be patient ! The upcoming BP 2.1 version brings huge improvement to mentions handling, with auto suggestion.

BP 2.1 About page excerpt:

With BuddyPress 2.1, type a @ when leaving a status update or commenting on an activity item or blog post, and the new suggestions panel will open.

@albert101

Did henry’s original function it work for you?
If so, don’t bother changing it.

@henrywright
afaik – The reason the codex page uses the wp_print_scripts hook is to insure that it runs after the wp_enqueue_scripts hook, regardless of priority.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference

The deprecation Hugo mentions is re not using print_scripts to enqueue a script, which the OP is not trying to do.
So I’m not convinced that your change to the codex page is appropriate. If you decide to stick with your change, at least update the comments above the example function to reflect that change.

I just want to get the list of buddypress shortcodes.

Doesn’t exist. You can create a shortcode or use this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bowe-codes/

add following line in your wp-config.php file:

define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);
and activate the already existing define('WP_DEBUG', false); to define('WP_DEBUG', true);
and feedback here.

BuddyPress 2.1 milestone estimation

Hello @albert101

You can use wp_dequeue_script() to remove an enqueued script. For example:

function my_dequeue_script() {
    if ( bp_is_activity() )
        wp_dequeue_script( 'xyz-custom-script' );
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_dequeue_script', 100 );

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_script

Hi @julia_b

To my knowledge there isn’t anything like that available. Try searching the WP Plugin Directory. Else, if you’re good with code, something like this can be accomplished using regular expressions

All of that said, forums questions are better asked over at bbPress. You may have more luck there.

BuddyPress 2.0.2 is compatible with WordPress 4.0 See this site: it’s working ! 😉

500 Internal Server Error is a generic error message, given when no more specific message is suitable. There are a number of causes for a 500 Internal Server Error to display in a web browser. (cite)

Which theme do you use ?
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-server-error-after-upgrade-to-wordpress-40

And also WordPress uses a rich-text editor. BuddyPress does not for the activity post form.

@ryanjhale – I’ve posted a fix here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5869

This probably won’t make v2.1 since we’re close to releasing this version. I’ve tentatively put the fix for v2.2.

Thanks for reporting!

@ryanjhale,

wp roles and bp capacities are two diffrent things.
bp_moderate has a specific usage applied to the site admin only. If you read what is written in bp-core-caps.php, you’ll see this comment at line 200

 * Temporary implementation of 'bp_moderate' cap.
 *
 * In BuddyPress 1.6, the 'bp_moderate' cap was introduced. In order to
 * enforce that bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) always returns true for
 * Administrators, we must manually add the 'bp_moderate' cap to the list of
 * user caps for Admins.
 *
 * Note that this level of enforcement is only necessary in the case of
 * non-Multisite. This is because WordPress automatically assigns every
 * capability - and thus 'bp_moderate' - to Super Admins on a Multisite
 * installation. See {@link WP_User::has_cap()}.
 *
 * This implementation of 'bp_moderate' is temporary, until BuddyPress properly
 * matches caps to roles and stores them in the database. Plugin authors: Do
 * not use this function.

BuddyPress groups moderators are not authorized to enter the admin dashboard or the group admin on frontend. Group moderators can only delete, move and spam group activities or topics. If the group has a forum, they wil have the same capacities.

If you want a user to be able to access the admin dashboard, you can give him an editor role (which is a wp role).

If you want to allow him access to the group admin on the front-end, you promote him to group admin. This setting doesn’t allow that user to enter the site admin. He’s only a group admin (with a wp role of subscriber, by default) and not a site admin (admin or super-admin (MS) ).

A 404 error ? If you copy/paste a wrong url this can happen !

When you create a new page in wordpress, a permalink is automatically created under the title box.
You copy that whole permalink, including http, into the snippet
'link' => 'your permlink', do not remove the coma ! And be carefull when editing code. Use a text editor, not Word !

The snippet give you the possibility to add a page to a profile, and this page use his own template file, as also described.

Don’t copy/paste when you don’t know how to use it and how things are working.
For that you have the codex, where you can learn a bit on how BP is working.
Here about theming.

No, passwords are encrypted !

And for your misfortune, any thing encrypted can be decrypted ! With more or less effort, time and money.

Are you living in a candy world ? 😉
