BuddyPress.org

Hi @BuddyBoss,

Try and play with this plugin if you really want to import user data to custom CRM applications (it’s a little old and was developed for another WP plugin):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-crm-buddypress-xprofile/

Feel free to download that plugin, study its source, implement whatever customisations you want as per Woopra and test to see if it solves your issue.

P.S. If you end up modifying that plugin to accommodate other important user data fields, don’t forget to rename it to something else and block off ALL its internal call for updates (whenever the parent plugin is pushed for updates, otherwise ALL your changes will disappear should you mistakingly push through with the update).

@thisisbbc,

Before BP is made fully compatible with WP right out of the box, I am afraid integration such as you want will continue to be a conundrum.

However, in addition to @henrywright’s contribution, why not give this plugin a try:

Feel free to download the plugin, study its source, implement whatever customisations you want as per Woopra and test to see if it solves your issue.

Try add_filter( 'bp_do_register_theme_directory', '__return_true' ); added to bp-custom.php

See https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-default-theme-moving-forward-with-bp-1-9/ also http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/ and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5212

Alternatively, what about https://github.com/modemlooper/Buddy-Default

Buddypress 2.0 should have a new template pack – see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.0

I added these lines to my theme settings to remove WordPress dashboard icons from the toolbar:

#wp-admin-bar-wp-logo { display:none; }
#wp-admin-bar-site-name { display:none; }

Best thing is to just change email to something else and then never use it.

Helpful link to set up WordPress locally: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2011/09/28/developing-wordpress-locally-with-mamp/

I’m guessing the URL path to the image is linking to your other site, possibly a local development site with “localhost” in the URL?

Anyways, find out the broken URL fragments and update them all to the correct URL of your new site. This plugin helps to update all of the URLs in one instant: https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/

Likely in your s2member setup, you are integrating some BuddyPress functionality and since BP is deactivated the s2member plugin is throwing up an error. So now you are locked out of your admin.

There is a simple solution if you have access to FTP.

Just rename your ‘wp-content/plugins’ folder to ‘wp-content/_plugins’. Note the underscore.

This will instantly deactivated all plugins, as WordPress will not be able to load the plugins directory. Then you should be able to log in again. If you rename _plugins back to plugins, then your plugins will load again. So maybe rename s2member so it deactivates, then reactivate BuddyPress and then s2member after.

Our buddypress plugin main plugin was deactivated by accident and now we can no longer access any content on the website or login ad admin to reactivate it.

I am not sure what to do. We had a backup of the entire wordpress installation prior to that mistake and it was restored in full. This is from the error log:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_register_page() in /home1/tgscca1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/classes/custom-reg-fields-4bp.inc.php on line 50

hi @aniclip

it’s not a bug, you just try to translate something that doesn’t exist in the original file !
The exact string is Notify group members of these changes via email

If you’re using BP 1.9 the string to translate looks like this in the po file:

5912 #: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/single/admin.php:26
5913 #: bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/admin.php:26
5914 msgid “Notify group members of these changes via email”
5915 msgstr “Signaler par mail les changements aux membres du groupe”

If you need the fr_FR translations, you can find them here:
https://i18n.trac.buddypress.org/browser/fr_FR/tags

And in the future, also here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev/fr/default

And of course, any information about translating BP in french is on the french BuddyPress site: http://bp-fr.net

have you used WordPress.com? That uses WP MU and has more than 10,000 users. In fact, I’d guess it easily has over 1 million users.

Perhaps somebody here already runs a BP or MU site which has lots of users and could give you some feedback?

Are you using root profiles?

Your problem may be related to a change which went live in 1.9.2. Have a read this ticket from comment 10 onwards:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5307

Hi @imdreamer

he said wordpress is not a good solution to build a large scale’s social network, it has limitation in its core structure

What was the limitation that your friend was referring to?

You could use Google News to set up stories related to that content:
https://news.google.com/

And then set up a Google News plugin that feeds in the data.
Something like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-news/

Not sure if that’s the best option (haven’t tried it) but you could search through the WP plugin repo to find a good Google News plugin and get it to sync in the stories you want.

you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/unconfirmed to activate users added

I finally got down to make a ticket out of it, if people have similar problems: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5372

I’ve created a ticket here now, for those with similar issues like me: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5372

Hi!

I have WordPress 3.8.1 and Buddypress 1.8.1.

I had the same issue above where the notifications menu shows up twice.

This was with WordPress 3.8 and when I updated to Buddypress 1.9.1.

I went back to Buddypress 1.8.1 after this.

I haven’t tried it again since I updated to WordPress 3.8.1…

Perhaps I should??

Also, Buddy theme, but not updated recently as have modified the original theme a bit.

I know this is a little old, but I’ve seen other questions linked to this answer.

I tried the above suggestion and it took down the site. All pages read;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/(Cpanl-User-Name-Retracted)/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 3

Paul do you have any other variations that might work or has anyone had any success?

Running WordPress Multisite and BuddyPress.

Thanks!

@ubernaut is right – it’s called oEmbed and it’s a feature provided by WordPress core. BuddyPress supports oEmbeds in activity updates by default. If you’re not seeing a YouTube video after pasting in a YouTube video’s link, then there is possibly a problem with your theme.

Hello @thecbell,

This should be a good starting point. Though a little old, the plugin below does a similar job for the sMember system, but you can give it a try in your development install and report any progress/set-back in this thread:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profiles-manager/

Good luck 😉

@icog,

Quit being an oliver twist…

But I think this is what you’re trying to do:

Do the followings and you’re well on your way…

1. Install the plugin “BP Group Organizer”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-group-organizer/

2. Install GroupOmatic Plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-groupomatic/

Follow @megainfo’s instructions above by installing the GroupOMatic plugin to create appropriate conditions for the filling-in of matching profile field at registration.

You can also utilise the Hierarchy plugin to manage the groups.

It’s fairly easy to manage what you seek with the above solutions including the suggestions of @megainfo…

GroupOmatic plugin is not compatible (just use it and quit complaining), OR create a plugin of your own that does just that. Or if you can spare some change buy the pro version.

Old topic, but maybe interesting? I needed the same functionallity so I created a plugin that might help here, too:
