BuddyPress.org

I really apologize for being persistent with the same old issue, but I still don’t have it resolved yet.

The issue is that the links are outside of the share button.
example: http://vanitywigs.com/vertical.jpg
The test site is: http://vanitywigs.com/wordpress/activity/

I can’t get these links to lineup Horizontally. If I can get it to lineup Horizontally, I would get rid of the actual share button and just used it like that since the links work perfectly.

Any help from the guru’s would be appreciated greatly.

Did you try the example here
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb#Examples_5

Try pasting your query between the double quotes.
Make sure you have `global $wpdb; ` in your function.

Generally, use whatever size images you want. Any slowdown is unlikely to be caused by images.

For more advice or help investigating why you feel your site’s performance is slow, pop over to the WordPress.org forums as this isn’t a BuddyPress-specific question. Thanks!

@gabequer this is what you need:

BP 1.7 is not broken – Your install of BP 1.7 has problems.

The first steps to take to diagnose your problems are:

1. Deactivate every plugin except WordPress and BuddyPress

2. Switch to the WordPress 2012 theme

3. Go to Settings -> BuddyPress and review all your settings

Your problems are probably due to conflicts between BP and your theme or other plugins.

Try a simple echo in your display function.

If you think it is a 1.7 bug, submit a report on trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Use the same login you use here.

p to now unable to get connected

i have 405 errors with standar users (which semms to be a wrong configuation of acces from the xml wordpress plugin)

and with admin account i have a 500 error from server.

what acces level shall be configured to allow a standard buddypress user to be connected ?

@scottwermter
It is a plugin. Get it here!

gs is a shared environment as such it is not recommended for anything but private buddypress sites (maybe not even then). unlike other shared environments gs will not throttle you but instead they will bill you for overage the thing to really watch for is the GPU. WP+BP will use something like 100x the GPU of a typical static site when i used them on a BP site with about 2000 visitors a day about 2 years ago we were looking at about 200 in overage in the first month alone.

#1 some media temple term that doesn’t mean much just think of it as total bandwidth cause thats probably what it is.

#2 yes.

#3 1

#4 probably not but i’m sure you can buy extras. email accounts are totally separate from wordpress/buddypress accounts.

@twistyfarmy – To disable notices, on your profile, navigate to “Messages > Notices” and disable them that way.

BP 1.7 introduced universal theme compatibility, but it appears your theme already has BP support, but did not tell BP this.  This is a possible reason why you see the sitewide notice at the top.

Follow the recommendation in this article:
BP Theme Authors: make sure your theme registers 'buddypress' support

Hi Patty-

Have you tried using `home_url()` instead of `site_url()` like the example on the Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_logout_url#Logout_and_Redirect_to_Homepage

I use this on my site and it redirects to the home page:
`<a href="” title=”Log out”>`

I am a big fan of cool landing pages. This is just my opinion but I would add a few thumbnail screenshots above the features on your landing page. That will show potential members what they are missing out on if they do not join. I would also get rid of the wordpress logo menu item in your toolbar because its a red flag for hackers.

@missnorthking

It would help if you gave more details and if possible a link to a url demonstrating the problem.

I gather from your other post that you are using http://themeforest.net/item/music-musicians-theme-facebook-app/1541383 ( see demo ).

From what you say, it seems like you are asking about a simple css issue with the theme. It will need something like a float left or right on the avatar images…..

`img.avatar { float: left; }` ( and other properties ) is in the bp-default default.css for bp 1.7… If you made a child theme you could try putting that at the bottom of style.css and see if it helps….

@anharmse

Actually my first suspicion is the dynamix theme.

Viewing the buddypress demo page with firefox, it appears to still be using buddypress v 1.6.5 so would probably need upgrading to v 1.7.

Meanwhile, try a theme that is supposed to work well with bp 1.7, such as twenty twelve….

If that fixes the error then It might be an idea to ask the commercial theme designers if they plan to upgrade it…

Hi,

1) Mybe the code source of Welcome Pack plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/ ) can help you in dev.

2) or check this link :
http://bp-tricks.com/featured/creating-a-custom-email-template-for-your-buddypress-emails/

3) Check this code (from bp-members-functions.php line 1353). function bp_core_signup_send_validation_email

`
$to = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_to’, $user_email, $user_id );
$subject = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_subject’, $subject, $user_id );
$message = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’, $message, $user_id, $activate_url );
`

With some filters i think you can change email, subjet of activation email, or the message.

Closing this, continue discussion at  https://buddypress.org/support/topic/register-2/ please respond to question posted there.

I lost my hope for them due to lack of assistance avail.  I hope the communities here on WP are better!

Please know that all of those helping in the WP, BP and bbP forums including even that of Joomla’s forums are all volunteers living in different time zones. If you require on demand support, you’d need to hire a developer at http://jobs.wordpress.net or at https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/ etc.

The big question is: Why not?!

This is a little silly.

With groups set up, you could effectively replace old school “forums” with the more dynamic “groups”.

You can just message from your profile, or to a group. It turns the entire site into an extendable forum. All that’s missing is a better text editor.
This would simplify things a great deal. Right now, you can start a conversation in the forum; in a group; or just with a message from the profile. These are not all that integrated. Way too easy to get lost, or lose related content. It’s a mess.

I know with the new updates, bbpress and BuddyPress are friends, and you can (in theory) feed your group forums into the site wide forum. But… why have a site wide forum when you can just message to groups?

I’ve had to create a page on the site just to explain to people what this Groups vs Forums stuff is about. Think about it from their perspective. What the hell is a “group”. This really smacks of developer centric thinking dominating user centric thinking.

But I’m getting a fatal error, and so are other people (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bp-tinymce-fatal-error?replies=3#post-4107216)
