Hey @mcpeanut

Hopefully your new server is working well for you! Just thought I’d give an update on how mine is going.

I went for the managed option to try to save a little time but that was a mistake. I should have opted for the root server because 1and1 refuse to make any changes to the config of the managed servers. I should have guessed that before I signed up. An example is Fast CGI isn’t enabled. And their support team has confirmed the advanced settings panel for the managed option doesn’t work. That said, and aside from bad support (the dedicated server support team aren’t interested in helping if you have a non-trivial problem) the server seems to be quite reliable, and fast. Checking via Pingdom Tools, a basic WordPress page load takes ~ 0.2 seconds. Oh and one last thing, their £3.99 per month SSL certificates (minimum 12 month contract) can’t be migrated if you decide to upgrade your package. My mini-review might sound very negative but I’m persevering with them because the hardware is good for the price (as you already know). Hope this helps you!

Hi @localiseorg

Socialise (sitewide activity assigned to this)
– Members (members directory assigned to this)
– Groups (groups directory assigned to this)
– Forums (bbPress forum root assigned to this)

Have you tried using a wp_nav_menu instead ?

I think, if i was in your situation, i’d make a wp_nav_menu with your different pages.. It could be “home”, “blog”, “socialise” for instance. And from the wp_nav_menu WordPress UI, i’d attach the Members/Groups and forums as submenus of Socialise.

Then concerning the Socialise title that is “Sitewide Activity”, i’ll begin to edit the activity page changing the title from Activity to Socialise and use a little code like the following:

function change_activity_directory_title() {
	buddypress()->activity->directory_title = buddypress()->pages->activity->title;
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_setup_globals', 'change_activity_directory_title' );

This sort of functionality is something that’s definitely required for BP – there’s no way an admin can go round reading everything on a busy site, abuse monitoring has to be crowdsourced to the members.

The plugin I’ve been testing, which was last updated in 2013, is this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-moderation/

Interestingly it covers just about everything – from members, private messages & their senders, statuses, activity comments, topics, forums, groups, posts, pages, blog comments, and probably a whole bunch of other things. I have a hunch they are hard-coded though.

It works to an extent, but glitches I’ve found so far include:

* Setting to define what text appears on the ‘Flag’ links don’t get applied to all links
* Flag link text for things like posts (and possibly pages) starts appearing in excerpts
* It’s using images rather than FontAwesome / Fontello via CSS = ugly and slow
* The admin menu icon is broken somewhat (looks ugly) but that’s minor thing

IMHO if the UI could be cleaned up, images replaced with icon fonts, and somewhat improved control over link text implemented, this plugin would be pretty much there and would cover just about all aspects of WP, BP and (with some extra coding) probably even bbPress.

Unfortunately I’m pants when it comes to PHP so can’t help with this task 🙁

That is an old version of BP.

You could try changing the apply_filters to
return apply_filters( 'bp_core_get_users', BP_Core_User::get_users( $type, $per_page, $page, $user_id, $include, $search_terms, $populate_extras ), $params );

That might get you past the fatal error.
You should update BP, but you cannot jump all the way to BP 2.0.
You’ll have to step up thru each version.

No i thought you were using a specific theme for the administration of WordPress. Because i thought it was a css issue or something like it.

I think i’ll try to see if the button is in the html source of the page using a search for ‘bp-admin-component-submit’. If you are using the Chrome Browser, you can for instance launch the inspector and once done, and on the tab “Element” click on ctrl + F to display the search input.

If you are using another browser simply display the source in a text editor for instance and do the search from there.

I think you’ll find the button meaning it’s a css/browser issue.

If not it may means there’s a “fatal” that avoids the html to be completely output. In this case you can set the WP_DEBUG constant to true in your wp-config.php file, check what’s going wrong in this part and eventually try to fix it. Once done, don’t forget to set back the WP_DEBUG constant to false.

Hi,

compatibility pack == https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-template-pack ?

If so, have you tried without this plugin as since BuddyPress 1.7, there’s now a theme compatibility feature included in core that makes BuddyPress loads its template in a nice way with most WordPress themes ?

Hi,

I have made a child theme

Is it a BP-Default child theme (1) or a WordPress theme child theme (2) ?

(1) put the templates at root level of your theme ex: bp-default-child/activity/index.php etc..
(2) use a specific folder to put your template (community or buddypress) ex: twentytwelve-child/buddypress/activity/index.php etc..

You can find interesting documentation in BuddyPress codex: for example about (2) https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

I was experiencing something similar. This resolved my problem.

Sign up for an account here (it’s free), download the plugin and add the API key.

Plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpmandrill/

It relays your emails through a trusted SMTP service, I’ve not had any problems since. It’s worth installing just to test.

any luck with the implementation of @sbrajesh code ??

I tried to implement the code in my bounce theme, currently using WordPress version 3.9 and BuddyPress version 2.0 but no luck.

Thanks

Dears,

In my case, the problem was in naming the wordpress directory. The name should not contain capital letters. I renamed it and made it all small letters & the problem was solved..

Regards
Hope

Well, Thanks. Here is one that sends html email https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-better-emails/

free plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-with-ajax/
premium plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-ajax-registration/

@ugosugo try https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddydrive/ for different types of file sharing

I’m looking for the same thing so that I can slowly rebuild my site on BP 2.0/newest Sweet Date theme.

The regular import doesn’t transfer users / xprofile data.

There is this plugin, but no info on compatibility with buddypress 2.0 at the time of this post:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-user-data/

There was a problem in the upgrader script when creating the wp_signups table in v2.0.

This is probably addressed in ticket #5563:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5563

If you are able to, please test latest trunk or apply the changesets in that ticket to your install.

If not, wait for v2.0.1 to be released in the upcoming week.

Thanks for the report, @klogen2.

I’ve duplicated the bug and have opened a ticket with a suggested fix:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5595

We’ll have this addressed for v2.0.1.
