BuddyPress.org

Hi,
I am running buddypress plugin on wordpress 3.8.1 and using Windows hosting for http://haflongbosconians.org/ . While the front pages are working fine, the buddypress pages are showing a 404 error.
I found this solution for APACHE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9zESEfNzSQ . What can I do for Windows hosting?
Appreciate your help.
Regards.

I would totally not recommend to disable it. You should spend more time to figure the problem out. In my BuddyPress test installations (local and live), it sends the emails just fine, so there is a problem, maybe in your server, template, I don’t know, somewhere.

But, if you really wanna disable this, after a quick search here and in Google, I found some possible solutions.

Obs.: I haven’t tested it, so use it at your own risk.

Great Scott!

These time issues crop up every blue moon, so any insight you can provide into the following time settings would be awesome:

• Your physical timezone
• The timezone setting of your server(s)
• The timezone setting of your PHP configuration
• The timezone setting of your WordPress installation

Seems somewhere down the line, there’s a problem with our calculations in a certain configuration. It could be the math, could be daylight savings time, could be a WordPress bug, a BuddyPress bug, or a rip in the space-time continuum!

It’s probably the server that your WordPress is running on which is causing this problem. The time on the server is probably 2 hours ahead. Just a guess though.

Ok
After allot more research I found a solution. looks like I was putting your code in the wrong spot sure it would have worked as well @Barney

I used this code

<?php
   
  $state = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=State' ) ;
echo '<p class="profile-fields">State: ' .$state. '</p>';
?>

This displays my custom field state that i added via users > profile feeds in backend of wordpress

I put this code under

<span class="activity"><?php bp_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?></span>

this is all in the members_header.php in the bp_legacy section

This is not directly a BP support question.
If your goal is to stick a search result from the profiles with BP Profile Search Plugin, i guess you have to ask the author of the plugin.

hi @saiallexander,

have you tried this plugin ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-featured-members/

@lerroy @shpitzyl,

FYI, this function will show user_login instead of member_name on the members directory.
Add it to the theme’s functions.php

/* Display Username in Directory */
function my_member_username() {
    global $members_template;
	
    return $members_template->member->user_login;
}
add_filter('bp_member_name','my_member_username');

Tested on WordPress 3.8.1 – BuddyPress 1.9.2

If someone would be kind enough to detail precisely how to duplicate the bug you’re experiencing in a new ticket over at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, I’ll be happy to look into this further.

We’ve made great strides on the bbPress/forums integration in the past few years. If there are still lingering wrinkles, we’ll get them ironed out.

sorry i read the title of you post too quickly htaccess shouldn’t need anything special for buddypress the standard wordpress compatible htaccess is fine. group based forums are depreciated so i wouldn’t expect that work anymore anyway.

@rudik123 What do you mean by using with BuddyPress? The Ads Manager plugin work with WordPress. To include the file in some BP pages, I think you’d have to alter some templates files.

Use wanguard.. It has stopped all spam registrations for me 100%

As your first question, this is not a BuddyPress problem, you should check out the WP Doc for more information on how to do this. https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL

For your second question, I believe it is redirecting from the WP login into the BP login page.

I don’t think this is related to BuddyPress. Check out some possible plugins here: https://wordpress.org/search/favourite+posts

Interesting question. As far as I understand, WordPress and BuddyPress, when at the same installation, they share the same user base/database. So at first, I’d say this is not possible.

But, I could think of a few areas where it’d be possible.

• In a multisite installation;
• Installing another version of WordPress in the same server, something like, (var/yourwebsite/www/) , (var/yourwebsite/www/buddypress)

.

Maybe there is a way, I can’t think of one right now. But let’s see if anybody else have some ideas share. =)

As indicated the problem (on my installation) WAS a plugin.

items 1 and 2 of my observations above have been eliminated by deactivating this plugin

Buddypress Friends On-line

Item 3 still persists (at least on my installation) even with trunk 8229

A Server error can be a lot of problems..

Maybe your hosting company doesn’t let you to run powerful websites. BuddyPress & bbPress are not small scripts. It’s not like you install a simple Twitter plugin for WordPress. BuddyPress & bbPress are advanced scripts that require some power of your server.

My advise, check your server logs and maybe that will give you some idea of what is happening.

Hey, @agundabbo, I’m new to BuddyPress but have been doing WordPress for a couple of years, and was happy to find two plugins that work with BuddyPress that have been stopping the fake registrations on my site. They are WangGuard and Pie Register. Good luck!
