I already test on new wp + bp install.
These code not work! 🙁
// MODIFY GROUP NAME TABS
$bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['home']['name'] = 'Group Activity'; //NOT WORK
$bp->bp_nav['groups']['home']['name'] = 'Member Activity 2'; //NOT WORK
//REMOVE SPECIFIC GROUP TAB
bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->groups->slug, 'send-invites');
taken from: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/14469/remove-tabs-from-buddypress-groups-and-members-pages >> It’s not work anymore in latest BP 2.2.1
I’m using latest WordPress 4.1.1 and latest Buddypress 2.2.1
So.. how to exactly modified Group Tabs in single group page?
anybody? Please help. stuck in 3 days for this.
Thank you.
Good idea… Group avatars now supported.
Download it from
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-local-avatars/
or
PhiloPress
This is really an annoying problem. I cannot see many of my older posts. If this issue is not getting corrected with some urgent love due to lack of free time by devs , is it impossible to add a sticky to this forum to keep copies of our own post for future reference OR increase the number of posts per page so that pagination is not needed at least for the first 50 or 100 items?
There is some workaround which I faintly remember by typing some ?=2 or something but that is not the way things should go.
There has been many forum posts as well as tickets on this. No resolution. So @djsteveb resubmitting may be marked duplicate and closed promptly. Thanks.
One such ticket : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5808#ticket
And it seems, the two shall never meet ……
http://stackideas.com/forums/switched-from-joomla-to-wordpress-after-jreviews-port-wish-stackideas-would-consider-porting-easysocial-the-same-way
BTW @statusselect, have you been able to use https://www.corephp.com/joomla-products/wordpress-for-joomla with Easysocial with Likes/Favs comment sync between the two – stream to blog, blog to stream
The two things lacking in BP after I saw Easysocial in some details is the
– Sharebox – it comes with nice at mention and hashtag ( hashtag plugin in BP is not Unicode compliant)
– Album and photo – nicely built into core – something not in BP’s agenda with their own reasoning.
The Sharebox which Easysocial uses can be instantly done in BP by someone who has some coding skills and BP love using the plugins avaialble – buddypress activity plus, buddypress privacy, bp checkins, Event Manager and a Media plugin. But then ….
Easysocial theme is responsive in a fantastic way and similar BP theme like the Boss of Buddyboss costs $100+ while Easysocial, without the bbundle is $90 – so this may be another attractive point for those who need Social more than multiuser blogging. Easysocial is lesser known till now and probably they do not have a favorable stance towards WP.
And the two shall never meet ….
People shall choose whatever they want, and BP devs and debvelopment will follow the path that suits them best. One thing is true, if BP was something like Jetpack, things would have evolved faster, imho
Thanks.
Hey @djsteveb
You should open a Trac ticket for this.
Hi @statusselect Thanks.
http://stackideas.com/bundles cost $240 – Is EasySocial operable without the Blog and comments ? Please keep in mind that we, users of WP + BP, need both good blogging and commenting.
Is there Blog like WP MS/MU blogs integrated there ? I could not find in the demo.
By blog integration I mean each site member can have her own blog with own theme and widgets etc, nicely customizable as in WordPress Multisite. Blog posts can also be commented and “liked” from both the stream and the blog post itself. [ BP lacks both-way Liking]
In their demo site, I found “Blog” is an App which the user has to load, and for me it did not load actually but took time and more time with the loading icon going on for ever.
If the Multiuser Blog experience is more or less similar to WP, then yes, it is worth exploring EasySocial.
Other questions :
– Can Friends be stacked into various “workmate” “batchmate” etc like Elgg ?
– Can an user Block another user ?
– How does the script handle excerpts of blogs in stream, how does it handle toooo loooong names or words ? How does it handle Unicode?
– How easy is the theme to customize for a non-dev? Language can be changed easily?
I did not find any pre-sales forum there or any github repo. Which would be great. They also do not have a test-downloadable version like SocialEngine.
Thanks for your answers.
PS : BP devs have their own logic, priority, speed etc. Its more than six years I guess BP lacks 2 way favoriting and a standard status/whats new box. The moment you say “standard” you may hear what is standard to one is not standard to other. That way, EasySocial has very well understood the needs of “standard”. I can only wish if they integrated EasySocial with WP Multisite it would have been an unbeatablle product. Ideas have a very few or no pickers at all. Unless we can code for ourselves or have enough money to pay Devs to bring changes the way we want, posting in forum is really not going to change the evolution of BP. IMHO. Thanks.
I found with one site on one server – any emails sending via php had a weird return header thing from my server that did not get through some of this big three email clients no spam lists..
a plugin similar to https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/
may change your wp to send via an smtp account on your server instead of php using a weird default server header.. you may need to create an smtp account for that work.. and even so there are other factors that could limit your email getting through.. (some shared servers are on backlist, some web hosting companies are given minus points, even if your web site is on the up and up)
There are a lot of things that could cause it to fail the ‘real mail’ test at some of these services..
The Sharebox or the equivalent of Whats New box in BP is fantastic. Its not “sophisticated” but integrates in a simple user friendly way that members need. – I agree.
But what are the pros and cons featurewise ? Resource-hungriness? Security ? Back-up ? Code cleaniless and less-bulikness?
Most importantly can each and every user have their own blog with own themes and widgets like WordPress Multisite ?
Personal reason I am using WordPress- BUddypress is for the seamless WordPress Integartion [ except Favorites/Likes] – if Elgg / Oxwall / Easysocial offered this WP integration things would have been different, probably.
Now, another important part Easyocial is $250, BP is free.. It follows a business model. [However anyone will love the approach at stackideas.com/support]. BP is developed out of free available time by Devs, and the Dev is not oriented so much towards Features out of box rather towards backend “geeky” things which is supposed to make it robust and less bulky for other devs who can produce feature-based plugin 🙂
Easysocial sharebox and some features are what BP ideally should push in overnight but that is really never going to happen in years. I suggest you please post a detailed review and please explain how multi-blogging (each user having own blog with own theme etc) is in Easysocial.
Thanks
Ok, so I made the switch to WordPress after years of using both JomSocial and EasySocial on Joomla. I have to say, I am disappointed that EasySocial being a very very young project with a small team is so far ahead of a mature project with many contributors like BuddyPress. BuddyPress feels more like Community Builder on Joomla, than a full featured well thought out Social Networking plugin like EasySocial.
EasySocial has done in a year what BuddyPress has not been able to do in many many years.
I genuinely miss the sharebox/composer from the Stackideas Activity Stream. It is way more sophisticated.
I also miss the control of how everything works. In BuddyPress if I want to customize things I gotta download third party plugins or themes, half of them are junk.
Now, I do like that Buddypress tries to be more modular, and I love that it supports WordPress, but what are the chances of you guys taking some time to do some competitive research and improve the quality, features and settings for BuddyPress, when compared to EasySocial?
Hello there guys,
I’ve just installed a nice plugin called “Birds autor box” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/birds-author-box/). The plugin is using WordPress’s funcation “get_the_author_meta(‘image’, get_query_var(‘author’))” to pull the user’s profile image. For some reason even that I’ve sync my WP and BP user profile the pllugin does no pulling BP user’s avatar.
Any thoughts why the sync is not working for me? there is a way maybe to use BP funcation in non-BP plugins or so?
p.s
I’m not much of a programmer T_T
Thanks in advance for any help!
Michael.

oh i got your point now sorry i dint saw that attached screen shot carefully before,in that case you may need a custom fuction may be the below link could get you some help
Manually modifying single group navigation in BP 1.5
WordPress version:4.1.1 (Chariot Theme)
BuddyPress version: 2.2.1
I created a page for each component in this plug-in and I don’t know what to do next. I am an amateur admin person. I now see BuddyPress in the left side pane under menus. I don’t know what I should add to the menu under the page I want associated with online community BP will create for me. I don’t even know if that is the next step. I’m going to keep fiddling with it. Right now, there is nothing visible about BP on our site. Our site is http://selfhelp.on.ca. The page I want BP to found on is through’Community of Practice.’
You don’t say which hook your class uses.
Have you tried using get_group_ids( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ?
See the function in bp-groups\bp-groups-classes.php and note the structure of the returned array.
If you’re hooking before BP is ready, you could always run some custom sql.
Use SELECT COUNT via get_var.
Hi @nkeatign
BuddyPress ‘members’ and WordPress ‘authors’ share the same ID, therefore are the same entity. A post that belongs to WordPress author with ID 286 belongs to a BuddyPress member with ID 286 (because, again, they’re the same). If something isn’t displaying as you’d expect, then it’s likely to be a theme issue.
Which theme are you using?
Wordpress emails are very generic, what is the best way to customize emails with logo and some disclaimers?
Thanks in advance!
Hello guys. I’m newbie to wordpress. I want to create a social networking site using wp.
In which members of one group can share their locations via Google maps. can I do this task through buddypress ??
Hello,
Just finishing up my site (WordPress Version 4.1.1, Buddypress 2.2.1) @ http://www.124connect.com and was hoping to find out a way to redirect new members to the “members” page after activation. Currently it sends them to my home page which, the way I have things set up, would be a bit disorienting to those wanting to use the social platform.
What path do I need to take in Cpanel (if I can’t do this on the frontend) and lines do I need to modify to direct new members to http://www.124connect.com/members after activating their account?
Thanks a bunch for your help!
I wanted to see if anybody else has a solution to this. The https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/ plugin is great, but it takes over the entire search function, including wordpress. I was hoping for a plugin that only searches buddy press activity feeds, and separately for each group. Thanks…
Hi @rosyteddy
That’s related to WordPress rather than BuddyPress. Something you may be interested in if you have lots of ideas for WordPress is WordPress Ideas. Ideas get voted for so the popular ones ‘bubble’ to the top so to speak.
Hope this helps.
I have installed buddypress and comet chat on wordpress site. Now both are running but I want the people to communicate with others only if they are friends through buddypress. or in other words the people should only be able to see and communicate with their friends.
