BuddyPress.org

These plugins should help 😉

This one is used for members to choose the group they want on registration.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-roles-at-registration/

This plugin assigns specific profile groups to the roles you want.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/

These both work great together, and I am using them on the most recent WordPress and BuddyPress versions.

@shonesss WP/BP versions?

but the installation wizard does not show up

There is no longer an Installation Wizard since BP 1.7, so no worries.

I thought I’d plough on ahead anyway so I installed Buddypress Template Pack

As of BP 1.7, BuddyPress is compatible with nearly all WordPress themes, which means you do not need to install/activate the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. https://codex.buddypress.org/bp-17-upgrading-template-packed-themes/

no buddypress navigation shows so its impossible to use.

Go to Appearance > Menus, then add the BuddyPress Pages to your custom menu.

@baskers I got a 404 page when I visited your link. Try renaming the subdirectory folder where you installed your WordPress and BuddyPress from RickyTweetUp to rickytweetup

@felixrami

• my best suggestion is to try and reinstall WordPress and BuddyPress & bbPress manually via ftp.
• If that doesn’t work, you’re best bet is to reinstall the most recent versions of those (before the upgrade of course) and then upload your most recent .sql backup via phpmyadmin to restore your site pre-upgrade.
• Once your site is back online, you can check your server logs for errors and report them here for assistance in finding the core issue and a best practice solution to implement to overcome it.
• Then definitely move everything to a localhost so that you can try to replicate the issue

Also, when you try to replicate the issue on your localhost, try to upgrade without any other plugins activated to see if there is a conflict with any of your plugins and the update. You can also search for “buddypress + {your plugin name here}” for each of your plugins that haven’t issued an update since buddypress 1.7, as they could possibly be the culprit.

I hope this helps and good luck with restoring your site. It can be stressful, but you’ll get it bud.

Hi, BP group documents plugin now compatible with BP1.7 in beta version can be found on http://lenasterg.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/buddypress-group-documents-for-bp-1-7-and-wp-3-5-1/

Glad you got it sorted.

But ‘manage_options’ is a powerful cap.
I could see where you wouldn’t want to grant that cap to a custom role.

Now that you can explain the issue, I suggest you submit a bug.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Nice. If you figure out a problem plugin, let us know or create a trac ticket on https://bbPress.trac.WordPress.org 🙂

also – some role editors are funky.

Make sure it’s not that plugin.
Use this to check if your custom role really has those caps:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

Try giving them the ‘bp_moderate’ capabilities.

It seems edit_profile checks to see if it’s your profile or whether
bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) || current_user_can( 'edit_users' )
so adding the ‘edit_users’ cap should work.

See bp_core_can_edit_settings() in bp-members-functions.php

It may not be a bug, but you could find out by submitting a bug

Hi,

I have resolved the problem on the site where I was having problems.

Here’s what I did.

1. Disabled “all plugins”
2. By doing this I identified it wasn’t a BuddyPress Problem
3. Tried to login on as a vanilla WordPress site. If you cant login you are confirming this is not a BuddyPress issue but a WordPress issue.
4. Ran the script written by Mark Jaquith found here: http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2006/03/28/wordpress-error-you-do-not-have-sufficient-permissions-to-access-this-page/
5. I checked the user on the Vanilla WordPress site, I logged in OK.
6. I re-initialised all BuddyPress Plugins and Themes
7. I was able to log in. (Yeah Team!)

All good. I hope this helps.

If you only want urls you can use profile fields then pull each through to show where you want on the profile.

Once you’ve set up the profile fields in your admin dashboard you can then output like this:

<?php bp_profile_field_data( array('user_id'=>$user_id,'field'=>'twitter' )); ?>

This assumes a profile field called Twitter. You may have to set the $user_id depending on if you are outputting on profile or somewhere else.

Should you want to use different types of fields such as date pickers and so on you can use: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/

@applegateian best bet would be to ask plugin dev as we have no access to the premium plugin. Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class

Hi, @sarathbabu_k,
I updated the BP Group Documents for BP 1.7.
You can downloaded from lenasterg.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/buddypress-group-documents-for-bp-1-7-and-wp-3-5-1/.

Since BuddyPress 1.7 you don’t only have to use a BuddyPress theme so you can use any theme from https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/search.php?q=buddypress and also https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/. I’d always say ideally you use a theme that’s designed for a community but either option gets you up and running.

Also worth looks are:
http://infinity.presscrew.com
http://3oneseven.com/buddypress-themes/

As far as buying in theory again every theme that works for WordPress works but BuddyPress specific themes you can get a number of places such as (not exhaustive list):

• BuddyBoss: http://www.buddyboss.com
• Luca’s theme: http://luca.untame.net
• Mojo Themes: http://www.mojo-themes.com
• Press Crew: http://shop.presscrew.com
• Theme loom: http://themeloom.com/themes/pure-theme/
• Theme Forest: http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress/buddypress
• Themekraft: http://themekraft.com
• WPMU DEV: http://premium.wpmudev.org

I forgot to add this link which explains adding a class which wraps the function of the plugin:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
Note the part about avoiding function name collisions.
