BuddyPress.org

Most plugins that add user fields are for the WordPress profile. The new Extended profile in the admin is for BuddyPress specific user information.

@canadadre

Can registered users upload media (photos, video, music)?

Yes, there are plugins for that, like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/

Can I modify the themes to allow for streams to be viewed similar to Pinterest or Tumblr? (I am familiar with PHP, CSS etc).

You can do anything you like – it’s open source 🙂

Is there a maximum number of registered user allowed? 1000? 10,000? What determines this?

It is determined by your server(s) resources and setup.

Also can the administrator send out email to all registered users?

There are several free WP plugins for that. You don’t need one specific to BP.

A fix for this has been included in BuddyPress 2.0, which is due for release today.

r_a_y, could you please explain in few words, what changes were done to activity add?

I mean this patch https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3856 and the words “..(short version – plugins that insert activity items will continue to work as before, but should be good citizens and update to the new technique)…”.

As I see, bp_activity_add wasn’t changed, so what update Boone is talking about? thanks!

Hi All

Thank you for sharing. When I wanna try to install “BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation”, I saw this note on top of the page

“This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.”

Hopefully this plugin still useful.

Other than Buddy Press, not sure if anyone of you try any other plugin that come with Group Control function?

Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you

I usually test on the Twenty Twelve theme as it’s nice and clean. You can basically use any decent WordPress theme for the most part.

If BuddyPress doesn’t work with a certain theme, let us know.

Hi @mikebw2000

try https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-usernames/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/multi-site-site-list-shortcode/ try this works without site tracking

Following might help asssuming its a multi network

https://wordpress.org/plugins/multi-site-site-list-shortcode/

This might help

https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-usernames/

Thanks for testing, sharmavishal.

I’ve created a ticket here with a potential fix for the first two things:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5537

I can’t duplicate the third issue.

This is claimed as fixed, though I am using the most updated version of buddypress and still having the same problem. Do I have to pull from the trunk to get the truly most updated version or do y’all push it to the wordpress plugin repo?

Thanks for the tip, tajenli.

Anyone reading this might also be interested in the following ticket on trac: #2062

This might also help

Did you install any social plugin? I guess not..else you would have known that the login with buttons are created automatically by the plugin…try the following social login plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-social-login/

Regarding your main idea..you would need to do some custom stuff for that…as far as approval of users go use the following plugin…

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/screenshots/

googling really helps though

It looks like the $group_id is not passed along to the display() method in the same way as it is to the other display methods. That means you’ll need to implement your own technique to get that value. Try this:

function display() {
    $group_id = bp_get_current_group_id();
    $setting = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'whatever' );
    var_dump( $setting );
}

I do think that you *ought* to be able to get the $group_id inside of display() like you can in settings_screen() etc. I’ve opened a ticket for that, which we’ll fix for 2.1. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5533#ticket

Hi @vikashwordpress

I just want to know that where is the actual add_action(…) and the function for this action is written, i have searched lot of files in buddypress but could not get it? can any one help ?

Which tag are you referring to? You mention do_action(“…”) in your question but this doesn’t tell us the tag. Perhaps see here for info on the do_action hook: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_action

There are lots of social login and registration plugins in the WP plugin repo:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=social+login

@metalmick Do also post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cd-bp-avatar-bubble for plugin support

Questions and installations like this are becoming more common, and we have a loose plan on how to include provisions for this into BuddyPress core. Right now, you’ll end up needing a few extra plugins (and a little bit of on the job education) to make both WordPress and BuddyPress play exactly the way you need them to, but rest assured that both WP and BP do have the ability baked in to manipulate where things live and how they work together.

A few plugins to investigate:

• WP Multi Network
• BP Multi Network

They’ll let you have disparate BuddyPress networks rotating around one central user-base and logins. From there, you can see how these plugins work, and tweak your integration to suit your needs.

Also happy to try and guide you further as you need more specific code snippets to solve specific problems.

Trust me… btw… if I can find a different program than BuddyPress… I will use a different program than BuddyPress with my WordPress site… because of this.

I hope there is a different program that will work well with WordPress… cuz I don’t want to use this program now.

The BuddyPress Like plugin does that:
