Topic: Creating a Member Directory

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

sarahdaglish

I’m sorry for the very newbie type question but my Buddypress is giving me trouble. I have set up buddypress as an intranet site for members of staff only, and bolted onto our external website which is designed through wordpress.

I originally had a lot of difficulty seeing how my buddypress members could see a directory for all members or all groups. I realise that in order to see this list they need to go to the page I created for the Members. I have downloaded the Buddypress Custom Profile Menu and tried to add the members page to the directory that way, but it just shows the members list for that user (ie those that they are already friends with). When I tried adding a direct link to the members page it tends to add the members name into the URL, which again removes any members that aren’t friends with the user. Can anyone help me see where I am going wrong?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

@natmba1 – you do not need a wordpress dot COM account to run buddypress – and I am not sure that you can run BP there – not the last time I checked.

What I suggest is getting your own web hosting account – for 10 or 20$ per month you can run your own (shared) hosting – and put wordpress and buddypress and any other plugins you like into it.

Some places like dreamhost.com (and similar hosting companies) – make it pretty simple to setup a wordpress hosting account and then you can add plugins and themes through the backend admin dashboard.

You will likely end up with an account at wordpress dot ORG – to ask questions about plugins and stuff – but the dot ORG is the free open community and the dot COM is more the commercial thing kind of like wix.. which I am sure you have seen places like that are very limited – running your own system has many more options – but with that comes a bit more learning and responsibility 😉

Hi,

I want to start a social media network. I have a website with Wix. Once that expires, I will be coming over to WordPress. However for now I want to set up a social media network and am wondering if I need a WordPress account in order to set up a BuddyPress account?

OK I am running a site that will be supporting multiple games. Right now the first one I’ve got running is /sbs dub domain. When someone clicks their profile it redirects them to their page at the main domain. When this happens, the page is different so it confuses people. How do I keep them on /sbs at all times? Also, can I use separate BP installs for each subdomain while using multisite? Or would i need to use separate wordpress installations?

@shanebp: There wasn’t anything rude in my response. If anything, Henry’s didn’t address my question as I stated it,. Instead, he rephrase it, which could be considered inconsiderate.

Had I wanted to ask the question he moved my question to, I would have asked it. I didn’t. So I moved what I could have considered a rude move on his part, back to my original concern. As for your response, … “It depends”; it is not an answer. Consider the context here: We are in a BuddyPress forum que. If you haven’t figure it out yet, I am querying to how better install BuddyPress, on a domain or a subdomain. It is obvious that it has to be on a WordPress installation. (Everyone who doesn’t know that, hold up your hand….. Just as a thought, no one. Oh, there is one.)

Now, I could have interjected my own thoughts into the original question, but by not doing so I was hoping to illicit candid input, as compared to a general and useless response such as, “It depends”. So. Since you seem to have more to add, depending on something…, let me clarify for you:

One of the sites we created and run for a client has WordPress as the platform. We are considering adding BuddyPress to it to extend the accumulated audience. We have concerns regarding security, cpu and memory load, plugin conflicts,possibly running a separate user registration and permission scheme (possibly) and all the other common issues inherent with WP; as well as the size of the site already, which is a bit over 3Gb in size. It runs an events system, with about 400 locations and in excess of 23,000 daily events. It is on a VPS with 2 cores, 32Gb RAM, using multiple dedicated IPs, much of what is in WHM, and numerous firewalls and other security systems.

As you maybe are able to see, how BuddyPress is installed would make a difference. But now that I have clouded your considerations with information I would have preferred to reserve until later in any possible conversation, we’ll see what bias is in any response you may have, hopefully beyond a mind-dulling, “It depends”.

Now, on to Henry’s response:
You left out the option of WP on both the primary and the sub-domains; which is the case. Again, if my primary question had to do with BUDDY PRESS, not to gain opinions about WP on a subdomain vs on a primary domain, which is the case; I would expect responses regarding that. Had your topic been my topic, I wouldn’t have posted my question in a BuddyPress que, simply becuase your question says nothing about BP.

And I’m sure that question has been addressed many times already. Who cares??? IT WASN’T, AND ISN’T MY QUESTION! Why do you have this habit of trying to rephrase or move another’s original question? Must be a power struggle issue.

Never mind. I’ll seek the opinions elsewhere, from other forums that actually want to address questions as stated, and don’t act like gatekeepers.

Good grief!

The reason I suggested you re-word your question is because the debate surrounding WordPress as a subdomain VS WordPress as a primary domain is a popular one which has been addressed lots of times already.

The answer really does depend on what you’re trying to do, as @shanebp already pointed out.

Hopefully this helps.

@quinngoldwin I’m not aware of any plugin that does what you want out of the box. At this stage, you might want to look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/ and a BP plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-job-manager/ and try work from there to set up a jobs category home page similar to what you posted above. Haven’t worked with either plugin before but the plugin author of the WP Job Manager has very good rep.

You could post at the official WordPress Jobs Board at https://jobs.wordpress.net and/or our jobs board at https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/

Buddypress 2.3.2.1
Wordpress WordPress 4.2.2
Site http://thailandnaturist.com/

I am running a website in dual language, English and Thai using Polylang.

Eventhough buddypress is not in Thai I would like the menu to stay in Thai.

So I created duplicate of activity, members and groups pages in Thai.

My problem is now, how do I get fx http://thailandnaturist.com/activity-thai/ to show the same activity stream as http://thailandnaturist.com/activity/

And similar for members and groups.

Thank you very much in advance.

You install BuddyPress as a WordPress plugin so perhaps your question should be where should you install WordPress?

@aju29 – If I were you I would make a zip file backup of all your files (through cpanel or whatever) – then export your database (follow the instructions in the wordpress.org for exporting backups – (you’ll need to go into phpmyadmin -> export – advanced – check “add drop table” – export)

check your server error log to see if there is anything in there that would give a clue when you get the ““insufficient permission to view this page” error.

Check to make sure you have “pretty permalinks” set properly.

IF you deactivate all plugins, and switch to default theme, and things do not work right at that point – something is wrong.. could be your server setup, could be you forget to add the line needed for multi-site to work properly.. go back and re-trace steps..

Then I would start fresh, delete everything and install a totally fresh WP –

Of course you could do this in a different folder or something.. but you need to get wp multi-site and buddypress working with default theme before mucking it up with other plugins and themes.. once you establish that the basics work with your server and setup – then start adding the other stuff one by one to see if something breaks it.

Someone else may have an idea of what your trouble is and chime in – I don’t know your exact setup and what your exact issues are when you are trying to do what exactly – I am just another BP user, not a wp / bp dev / guru by any means.

@djsteveb – I think it’s not only with login attempts, but posts that are being forcefully being posted, BP Members, Groups, and Activity being accessed and I am only seeing one username of rogeliomackie. iThemes Security log shows site URLs that doesn’t even exist yet on my website, and these activities are happening here. Most of these URLs are from BuddyPress generated pages which I removed asap after installing the plugin, so I am wondering.

I agree that not only WordPress but other CMS and websites gets unwanted visitors daily. One of my concerns too is bandwidth usage, 2 days and it’s already around 800MB and the max is only 48 GB. I know pages are being indexed but it just feels abnormal. What if my site got a lot of users and these unwanted activities happen at the background, I’m thinking that the site will get unimaginably slow.

As the site aim is for a community that can submit video links and automatically get posted, I am looking into adding Captcha and other security measures specially integrating security to BuddyPress pages like Registration. I haven’t seen a Login page generated though.

Thanks for the tips and advice I appreciate it.

@modx – for the moment, I would put your htaccess back to the way it was before – from what I am seeing; you are talking about login brute force password cracking being your big issue.

Although I still suggest blocking those other engine bots – you can probably do that just fine with a robots.txt file at the moment.

IF you are using a login security plugin already – you should be fine… many like to use “limit login attempts” – I use that on some sites – just change the default settings to be more strict than the 4 / attempts.. might also want to add the “whitelist limit login attempts” to keep yourself from getting locked out.

I think succuri is an excellent one too – but there are many others… these login attempt blockers will prevent a bunch of the bot attempts to break it.. recently I have found that adding the plugin “ip geo block” ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-geo-block/ ) is very helpful. Again change the default settings so it also blocks access to your plugins folder and others..

Thing is, every single one of our wordpress (And therefor also buddypress) sites are getting these non-stop password attacks all day, every day. You can try things like add a “captcha” to your login form to make it harder.. but they will keep trying and tieing up your server resources..

Strange to see from your posts that all of those attacks are coming from USA based proxy servers – usually most the attacks come from Ukraine, makes me think they already got into your site once before and are willing to spend a little extra to try to re-attack.

Since those companies are us based you could write them with abuse complaints, but I don’t think you will ever stop the hacking attempts so long as you have a CMS that allows an admin login.

If you are dumping buddypress for the moment and don’t need others to get through a login prompt, I suggest adding this bit of htaccess pwd magic –

I’ve been getting weird errors when trying to log an activity item via bp_activity_add():

WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '( user_id, component, type, action, content, primary_link, date_recorded, item_i' at line 1 for query INSERT INTO ( user_id, component, type, action, content, primary_link, date_recorded, item_id, secondary_item_id, hide_sitewide, is_spam ) VALUES ( 3163, 'members', 'new_member', '', '', '', '2015-07-16 15:47:00', 0, 0, 0, 0 ) made by require('wp-blog-header. php'), require_once('wp-load.php'), require_once('/srv/www/commons/current/web/wp-config. php'), require_once('wp-settings.php'), include('/themes/tuileries/functions.php'), bp_activity_add, BP_Activity_Activity->save

As you can see, there’s no table name here. It should be INSERT INTO wp_bp_activities... or thereabouts. It looks like BP_Activity_Activity->save() is trying to access $bp->activity->table_name, but $bp->activity doesn’t have a table_name property at this stage. Instead, this is all that is in $bp->activity:
```
BP_Activity_Component Object

    [name] => Activity Streams
    [id] => activity
    [slug] =>

Why isn’t there a table name here? How can I fix this?

Topic: HTTP error when uploading BuddyPress avatar profile photo

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

cplouffe

Hi all,

I’ve been trying off and on to debug this issue for the last few days and thus far have had no success. I want to use the BuddyPress Extended Profile component so that users on my Web site can upload avatar pictures for their user profile. I thought that the best way to do this would be using the BuddyPress profile photo, but I have hit a roadblock trying to use this feature.

In the Extended Profile tab of the Users section, when I (or any member) click ‘Edit Profile Photo’, and then ‘Select your File’ under the Upload tab, I am able to select an appropriate profile photo. While the photo is uploaded to the server, I always receive the message ‘HTTP Error’, and am unable to use the photo or continue with the process. In Chrome DevTools, I can see that the error is ‘Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)’.

I have access to the server where I am hosting the WordPress site, and I can confirm that the photo is indeed being uploaded (to …/wp-content/uploads/avatars/a_given_number/the_file_name.jpg). I can even access that file by navigating directly to its URL in the browser. I have set the ‘ avatars’ folder permissions using chmod to 755 (I tried 777 but it did not solve the issue). The server is running Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7, and WordPress 4.2.2 with BuddyPress 2.3.2.1. The Web site is currently private (work), so at this time I cannot provide a link to the Web site.

I have traced the call stack in DevTools and the error seems to be occurring in the file bp-plupload.min.js?ver=2.3.2.1:formatted on line 24.

If anybody could please help me try to solve this issue it would be GREATLY appreciated. I’m really at a loss as to what to try next, so any suggestions are welcome. If no solution can be found, if an alternative way to upload profile photos for BuddyPress members could be suggested, that would also be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Cam
