Hello, before I start I’d like to just say yes I have done some “googling” and have not found the specific help I need. At the moment I am running my site on my localhost as I am just testing things and learning before actually turning it into a real website. I have very LITTLE knowledge of coding, pretty much a newbie of all this.
Wordpress version: 4.1.1
Buddypress version: 2.2.1
I would like it for members of the site to be able to make there own sub blog which they can edit and add posts too etc. (Not a multisite) Or possibly make it so they can add there own subcategories (Which they can add posts too) to a category already made by me. I’d like this to be done through a page so they can go to this page and fill out blog name, description etc etc and then be able to publish it.
Is this possible? If so how? I’m not much of a coder.
Hi,
I have a new and up-to-date installation of WP and BP at thegoodflirt.com.
I put the Buddypress login widget in the sidebar. I am able to register a new user and activate from within the admin; however, users cannot log in via the widget. I get areturn page saying: “Error 406 – Not Acceptable. Generally a 406 error is caused because a request has been blocked by Mod Security.”
Users can log in through the regular WordPress login page.
I’ve browsed around support and the web and have not seen a solution other than possibly to disable mod_security.
Can anyone advise? I am on inmotionhosting.
Thanks,
Jeff
Hello,
I added some Custom posts types to my personnal theme and I would like to link those SPT with some buddypress groups. Any idea how to do so?
Maybe an easier solution would be to add only the activity stream in the single template of the CPT?
Thanks for your help.
Martin,
Wordpress 4.1 and BP 2.2.1
wilson1987 ‘site is not powered by WordPress and of course has no BuddyPress istalled.
Out of topic, troll, and marked as spam.
I’m on the latest version of BuddyPress, bbPress, and WordPress.
I’m using the genesis magazine-pro theme.
I’ve been tweaking the CSS for bbpress and buddypress by copying their css files to my theme directory/css directory. So far so good. I’ve been able to make a lot of changes that fit better into my theme.
But I’ve run into a situation I don’t know how to handle. Because I’ve increased the font sizes slightly, the whats-new-options div is no longer tall enough. When I inspect it in Chrome’s inspector, I see that the height is not set by the CSS definition of whats-new-options. Instead there is a style=height:40px; attribute on the div tag.
In chrome’s inspector I see that I can chane that height to 60 and it looks ok. But I don’t know how to change that style tag permanently.
It seems to me that i have to find where this HTML is being generated. The only thing I could find is
/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php and I found
<div id=”whats-new-options”>
but there is no style attribute. So I’m at a loss as to where that style attribute is coming from so I can change it.
Any ideas? I know just enough CSS and PHP to be dangerous, so forgive me if I’m missing something obvious.
Sending mail is never easy when it comes to localhost. There are some solutions around the web, but they’re often quite technical and hard to implement.
I’m sure a lot of developers create and activate their dummy users via the back-end manually. There’s also plugins that can help. Check out BuddyPress Default Data. It will create lots of users for you.
@henrywright Thank you for your answer.
I tried to test what I had on 1&1 and registration works. It confirmed that MAMP is the one causing the problem.
I think I found where the problem is : it’s all about emails. The email that should be sent for activation can’t be sent so nothing happens and the registration fails.
MAMP (and other web hosts) doesn’t support sending email. I tried to find a solution to it with no luck until now :
– first, by getting MAMP Pro free trial, where you’re supposed to be able to configure PostFix to be able to send emails but I couldn’t figure out how to set it up properly and couldn’t find anything useful on the internet to do so. This http://blog-en.mamp.info/2009/09/how-to-sending-emails-with-mamp-pro.html did NOT help. If anyone knows how to make that work I’d love to see how.
– Then I tried that http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-receive-wordpress-emails-from-localhost/, and I do receive the test email, but it doesn’t fix my BuddyPress problem.
I am not sure how to work on BuddyPress without being able to register a user.
An example of what I’m working on : I want to add a long form in a tab in people’s profile page, which then generates a graphic element, a map (that will be part of their profile).
I could either :
– bypass the code that is used to send the email for activation and activate the users manually as an admin.
– go to the database and enter the new user manually.
I’ll try to bypass the sending of the email first.
Please let me know if there is an easier way to work on what I intend to program.
Also, if anyone knows how to set up MAMP to support sending emails, I’m interested !
Tested with 2015 MS – BP Checkins aside 5 other plugins: unable to reproduce.
Have you noticed this on plugin description ?
NB : make sure to activate the plugin in the network admin if you run a multisite WordPress
Yep…that is not possible, believe me i have tried for a while.
Danbp’s is the only reasonable workaround.
@svenl77, Buddyforms looks interesting, but is priced out of my range for a non-professional developer.
@randomgirl, you can see on earlier post that buddyblog does what you want, exactly that, posts show up on profile page, but it sounds like you have little experience with both Buddypress and WordPress and Buddyblog requires multisite, not an easy task.
See WP Favorite Post plugin and this topic on how you can do that.
Needs medium php level.
Hey @mariatrier
1. Yes, sending a message to multiple recipients is possible
2. Yes, this feature is called @-mentions
3. Not possible ‘out-of-the-box’. You’d need to find a plugin that does this. Try searching the Plugin Directory
4. Not possible ‘out-of-the-box’. But see the BP Checkins plugin
Hope this info helps!
Hi @shanebp
First of all, thank’s a lot for your fast answer. Now I have understood a lot of thinghs, but I have only two little questions more:
1. The solution using ACTIVITY.PHP, listing in the following topic , let administrator introduce comment from ADMINISTRATION PAGE (DASHBOARD)? Or neither user and administrator will can to do comments in the groups?
2. If I create a CHILD THEME, where I must introduce the file ACTIVITY.PHP ?
Maybe, I need create the followings folders GROUPS/SINGLE into the folder ENFOLD-CHILD? And introduce there ACTIVITY.PHP file into SINGLE folder? Is it so?
I am not informatic and I don’t undestand very well what I need to do.
Thank’s very very much for your answer.
I have installed WordPress, but I don’t know if it is necessary to create a file for buddypress. I have installed bbpress and I have to create a file ‘bb-config.php’. Do I need other file (bp-config.php) for buddypress? Can you explain to me, please? Thanks.
Since 1.7, BuddyPress can be used with almost any correctly coded theme.
How to customize BuddyPress needs a child-theme. From here you can add modification to BP templates or code. No matter the theme: Enfold, Twenty something or any other one.
How it works is explained here.
Why should every thing possible to do with WordPress automatically be on ON as soon as BP is used ? There is no obligation to use BP. And there are hundreds of way to use that plugin. As there are also hundreds of ways to use WP.
Permalinks offers 6 options.
1 Default value -> means OFF
2-5: are 4 pre-defined option
6 your own custom setting !
Before installing a plugin, users are invited to read documentation. At least, it’s the case for BP.
Not all WP user are using BP, so i guess enabling some BP specific option will never be part of WP installer. When you buy a TV, you can’t whatch it immediatly. You have to unpack it, and setup some channels yourself. Same thing with WP and plugins.
since BP is just no other plugin but an important part of WP family I understand your enthousiasm and BP is effectively a plugin from the WP family, but it’s just a plugin. Not more, not less. 😉
@rosyteddy, What am I doing wrong? Apparently nothing. You try do add it to a plugin template.
If it doesn’t work, maybe it is not intended for or buddypics is not activated. And for the right answer to this, the code author is @modemlooper.
Ask on plugin support.
Thanks, @danbp!
I’m currently in the process of migrating my site to use WordPress, so it’s not on the main production server yet.
I’ll check out the codex!
Hi @rosyteddy
I haven’t tried it, but I think it’ll work if you put it in a page template. See here for more info.
Regarding the functionality you want, you’d need to do something like this:
$ids = '1, 2, 5, 33, 43';
if ( bp_has_members( 'exclude=' . $ids ) ) :
Where $ids is a comma separated list of user IDs who are not friends.
@numumar
I hope this doesn’t sound dumb for asking but have you installed WordPress? Reason being is BuddyPress and bbPress are WordPress plugins so having WordPress installed is a prerequisite to using BuddyPress and bbPress. Again sorry if its a dumb question.
This file looks correct too: bp-xprofile-loader.php
It matches the documentation here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9167
