BuddyPress.org

hi again, I found this

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4571

is this a solution to the problem?, may you please tell me ho to patch a php file? is the file to patch bp-core-avatars.php?

thanks,
g

You’re right @shanebp

After reading that manage_options much gives that role access to the entire Settings feature of WordPress I realized that isn’t good. Needless to say, I have used Adminimize to hide the “Settings” tab from the Manager user role for the time being but certain savvy people could still access it if they knew the URL to those settings pages.

I submitted the bug to: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4991#ticket

Thanks again for all of your help!

Thanks @shanebp Im very familiar with wordpress, so the read sections will be fine, i cant seem to see where to get started with creating the page in their profiles, do you have any links / resources or can you point me in the right direction.

Regards Roy

Software details are:

– WordPress Theme Custom Community By ThemekraftVersion 1.15
– BuddyPress Version 2.3.2.
– WordPress Version 3.5.1

Again, I’ve tried it with just the default buddy press theme, and disabled all plugins and still can’t create new user accounts via the registration page.

Please help

ok, i have asked several questions on this support forum and this is the first time i was directed to this site. here you go…

1. i am up to date on wordpress, 3.5.1
2. WordPress was installed as a directory, not a subdomain
3. Root
4. WordPress was installed at 3.5.1, not upgraded
5. yes
6. 1.7.1
7. I did not upgrade Buddypress, I installed this version
8. Bowe Codes, ADJE Event Cal, Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields, Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms user Registration Add-on, Members, Uber Login Logo, WordPress Font Uploader, WordPress Uploader
9. I am using the Salutation theme
10. No
11. no
12. n/a
13. none
14. bluehost
15. Linux

Again…the test profiles are working. Just not the ones filled in.
i am using buddypress 1.7
it was a direct install, not an upgrade

Do I need a clean bb-config.php ? I thought activating bbPress for the first time would create a fresh configuration file to the same database and user as WordPress. Really stuck on this one. Appreciate your help.

@Hugo, I am very sorry if I seem silly but I couldn’t help matters myself. Imagine a situation where you have people who loves your work, only to create an account, activate it and to login to see what you have created and they are bounced back. I am really sorry if I had offended anybody. Now this is what actually happens, when a user creates and activates an account, and he tries to login, the user will be redirected to wordpress login. There is no errors shown, meaning the username and the password is correct. There is no spaces used. And you are right, the user gets logged in after sometime. I hope I am making sense here? Please help me.

An aside – it may or may not be relevant to tweaking your plugin

I had previously experimented with other plugins

pagerestrict at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pagerestrict/ is effective BUT has no effect on /forums/ !!!!!

while

path access at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/path-access/ is effective but just goes to a page not found -it lacks the elegant redirect!!

@hnla, The theme is just a normal WordPress template, it is not designed for BuddyPress.

BuddyPress seems to work just fine but the layout and formatting (i.e. sidebars over lapping with buddypress user registration) is giving me issues. For example, try going to http://www.eatyourtown.com/community/register/ , you can see that what should be a right side bar has been stretched across the entire page.

I checked around and one of the cause could be this:
In the standard wordpress user profile page the membership plugin introduce a new field:
“Membership key” and the panel says: “This key is used to give you access the the members RSS feed, keep it safe and secret.” I think that all the ‘non-administrator’ users cannot access rss of the site without using this key.
The question is: “how must this key be used?” i can’t find related documentation. Can someone help me on this?

Thanks

Thank you for responding.
What is confusing is that I have two local installations of WordPress and two local websites.
In one of the installation’s WordPress Admin I can see Forums panel in Buddypress config, on the other one I cannot.

Anyway the only reason I wanted to access Forums Panel was to be able to enable Site-wide Forums.

With no Forums panel how do I do it ?

on the Forums panel I had two options Forums for group and New! Site Wide Forums.
