BuddyPress.org

.. and sipping a cup of tea, yes 😀

hi @notpoppy,

no it’s not possible. WP post comments are not forum discussions.
And the BP included bbPress forum as no settings for such.

If you use BP 1.6.x with the bbPress 2.2.4 plugin for a standalone forum, you can plug bbPress, but this cannot be done if you have group forums.

If you use BP 1.7 and bbP 2.3, every thing becames possible, but you have to wait a little, both are still in beta…

That said, each WP comes with Askimet, the theoretical nec plus ultra of comments anti-spam, whitch protect the comments, the activity stream, etc
Search on this forum, you’ll find many discussions about spam and what to do/use….
Even if no definetly solution exist.

Since your site was compromised, and you are the resident expert with your configuration, we rely on you to fill in any gaps that you can.

If you get to the point where you’ve identified a clear and repeatable security issue with WordPress, BuddyPress, bbPress, or any other plugin, let is know by checking out the following page:

Thanks, and good luck.

@ludachrisgsx Looks like you’d want to import vbulletin forums to bbPress forums https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vbulletin/ For more information/assistance, please post at https://bbpress.org/forums/

BuddyPress and bbPress are both WordPress plugins.

1. scalable – yes. One can only be limited by server and skillset. https://wordpress.org/showcase/flavor/buddypress/ are just some who have thousand of users.

2. not buggy – nothing’s perfect in this world. Having said that, both BuddyPress and bbPress have the same Project Lead and both projects are actively maintained and upgraded. Compatibility of both plugins with current WordPress version is assured.

3. easily modified – easy is relative. The code is open source. Experienced BP/bbP/WP developers can certainly add/remove features as needed.

4. ton of features – register at http://testbp.org/ the official BuddyPress test site running default features on trunk versions of WP/BP/bbP using Twenty Twelve theme.

5. easy to build out different content types etc – see #3 above.

6. not bloated – one can enable or disable features as needed.

7. easily optimized for search engines – WP/BP are naturally optimized for search engines even without “seo” plugins.

8. solid support community – all of us who give support in these forums are volunteers living in different time zones. There is no on-demand support. One could hire full-time/experienced developers by posting at:
– https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/ and
– http://jobs.wordpress.net/

9. secure, obviously – we take security seriously.

>> I know that asking this here will come with a BP slant,

Unlike phpfox and vbulletin, we’re not trying to sell BuddyPress. It’s free. It’s there for anybody to use. And it’s an outstanding plugin if I may say so myself, constantly improving and keeping up to date with latest developments. We have active communities submitting enhancement requests, bug reports and patches for the bugs where found. There are developers who submit add-ons themes/plugins which are either free in WordPress.org or commercial ones specifically for BuddyPress.

Good luck with your selection process.

EDIT – I took my time answering, didn’t see your post @modemlooper

Are the files for the mobile site just static (no wordpress just html)?

If that is the case then just redirect to a subfolder

url.com/mobile

My concerns about BuddyPress – it’s open source, which is risky to build a business around when you’re looking to customize it and add plugins.

BuddyPress IS WordPress AND is also open source and WP powers a large portion the internet. As for support, you can hire a developer to create and fix anything. The core plugin is completely stable and constantly being updated.

Did you hear Google dropped Google Reader? phpfox could have a similar fate and since it’s not open source you could lose out, at least with open source you could take the code and do what ever you want.

@virtualsouq Hello. Go to dashboard menu Forums > Add New after adding the title of the forum, make sure you select Category type in Forum Attributes box on the right

@chouf1 is that your code on that linked page http://www.php-ease.com/code/wordpress-style-admin-bar.html ?

so for now there is no fix solution for this except delete all including wordpress, recreate all database, and it work again.

@qzplx Glad it’s working out for you now. Thanks for sharing your solution.

By ‘article types’ you mean custom post type ?

Google this: ‘buddypress add custom post type to activity stream’

Check this:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/58486/how-to-show-customized-activity-for-custom-post-types-in-buddypress-activity-loo

This needs advanced coding.

Check this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-turkce/

Description is in Turkish but plugin codes are in English. When you define:

`define( ‘WPTURKCE_USER’, true );`

This plugin allows Turkish characters ( ŞşİıĞğÜüÖöÇç ) in usernames.
You really need to understand php for what you want.

How did you change the URL for WordPress, exactly?

@unsalkorkmaz per your request, changed links and info in your original post. Congratulations on passing the WP theme review process 🙂

How to download:
http://theme.firmasite.com
The theme has been approved by the WP Theme Review Team and will soon be available for download at the WordPress Theme Repository.

At the moment testing trunk against WP standard & MS installs is a good way to help, reporting any issues found to the BP trac  https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ or look through tickets and see if there are any that you might be able to help with return patches for or test if feedback is required.

you need to enable your wordpress as a multisite network:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

and that’s it.
