BuddyPress.org

I’ve searched the forums and read a number of threads but cannot find a clear answer to this question.

I am updated with WordPress 4.0, BuddyPress 2.1.

I am running an internal BadgeOS/LearnDASH site on Windows IIS. I cannot change this.

To resolve the permalinks issue in IIS, “index.php” has been added to all permalinks per WordPress instructions. This fixes all of the links.

BuddyPress, when installed, does not display any user profile information, instead, all user profile links result in a 404 error. Even if I add index.php to the path, this only results in providing a fancy 404 screen instead of the basic one.

Without switching off of the Microsoft server, and without changing the permalink setting already established (which includes index.php), how can I resolve the 404 errors that result when trying to display profile information?

Thanks much in advance.

Hi. I don’t want to activate forums within Buddypress groups until there is enough activity to make it worthwhile. From what I can see (I know I can turn forums off), a basic group set up uses the WordPress commenting system. I’ve seen BP sites where the groups have activity listed such as forum postings etc and then you click on the links to go to the forum posts, but is there a way to make the groups more than a commenting page which I think is the default?

I am trying to have a site admin add users to groups. After adding action hook posted here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/how-to-add-members-to-a-group-via-wp-users-screen/ to my bp-custom.php I get the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home1/…/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 18

I am running PHP 5.4.32, WP 4.0, BP 2.1
bp-custom.php code is included below:

<?php

/**
* Disables BuddyPress’ registration process and fallsback to WordPress’ one.
*/
function add_users_to_bpgroup() {
if( bp_is_active(‘groups’) ):

if( isset( $_GET[‘action’] ) && isset( $_GET[‘bp_gid’] ) && isset( $_GET[‘users’] ) ) {
$group_id = $_GET[‘bp_gid’];
$users = $_GET[‘users’];

foreach ( $users as $user_id ) {
groups_join_group( $group_id, $user_id );
}
}
//form submission
add_action( ‘admin_footer’, function() { ?>
<script type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8″>
jQuery(“select[name=’action’]”).append(jQuery(‘<option value=”groupadd”>Add to BP Group</option>’));
jQuery(“#doaction”).click(function(e){
if(jQuery(“select[name=’action’] :selected”).val()==”groupadd”) { e.preventDefault();
gid=prompt(“Enter a Group ID”,”1″);
jQuery(“.wrap form”).append(‘<input type=”hidden” name=”bp_gid” value=”‘+gid+'” />’).submit();
}
});
</script>
<?php
});

endif;
}
add_action ( ‘load-users.php’, ‘add_users_to_bpgroup’ );

?>

Hello,
I want to make a request please. I installed Buddy press plugin on my WordPress site, I tried to configure it, but the ‘save setting’ button did not appear on the page. My WordPress version is 4 and the Buddypress version is 2.1. Could not use the activity stream, groups, media, and every other function. Can anyone help me with the information on how to rectify this problem please? You can contact me via solutionnaija.com@gmail.com. Thanks

Was running BP 2.03 on WP4.0, multisite, and Networks for WordPress and BP Multi Network installed… but have been unable to create any groups…. so i upgraded to BP 2.1 hoping this would fix issue..

It seems that the moment I get to the 2nd step – SETTINGS, I get error saying “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.” and can go no further – YET , if you go back to groups directory, the group is created ok, Have BP Groupblog installed and had BP Group Hierachy installed as well, but despite unplugging both, still get fails on step 2.

Tried this on 3 different Buddypress themes, all fail on same step, tried it on main network install and 2nd and 3rd network BP installs – all fail on same place.

ANY IDEAS??? Please – have exhausted all possibilities

Buddypress v2.1
Gravity Forms v1.8.17
User Registration v1.9.1
Wordpress v4.0

I was wondering is anyone else is having a problem with the default visibility set in Profile Settings not being recognized when using user registration/gravity forms to populate the information.

When a new user fills out the user registration form, it populates a number of profile fields. Varying degrees of visibility have been set – using all of them “only me, all members and everyone”. The issue is that once they fill it out ALL of their information is visible to anyone logged in or not. It is not adhering to the default visibility “rules”.

The weird part comes when a user goes into their profile to edit something or even if they only hit the “save changes” button – only then will the visibility settings be recognized. But there are 5 groups of information: Contact, Education & Word, Social sharing, etc. A user needs to go “save changes” in each group for that particular section to then recognize the visibility settings.

The issue has happened across three different browsers as well as a local server. This is baffling and really above my head. I’ve searched and can’t seem to find an answer. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kendall
