BuddyPress.org

Hugo,

There are many areas but the title and descriptions are not unique for each member or group. It does not take much understanding to see if one builds even a small community of say 5K members if every profile title says Members and every group says Groups that SEO is very bad and Google will spit this out in a heart beat and not value the site very well in rankings. Good SEO practice has got to be unique titles and descriptions old or new days.

I built sites that have over 20K unique visitors per day and been around online full time since 2001. I am new to Buddpress and only been working with WordPress a little under a year. I know this for sure SEO to be as important today as years ago. Also if Buddy is going to be fully integrated with WP it in simple terms it needs to work just as WP does or then its not fulling integrated. Instead it is partially integrated. Like it or not 80% of all internet traffic today begins with a search and if SEO is not a big part of ones marketing plan success is probably not going to be found easily.

Now don’t get me wrong I do admire and appreciate all the hard work done here on this project. I am very detailed and experienced traffic and IM guy that just simply trying to bring these things to front to make better product. I am however no programmer.

So nobody here knows how to get SEO to work properly with Buddypress? This is kind of crazy as as popular as buddpress is nobody knows how to make SEO work with Yoast. SEO is an important part of any internet venture. Without it its pointless today online unless your going to pay for all your advertisement or do affiliate marketing.

I am completely disappointed so far as I spent so much time researching this information and nobody either has the correct and complete information or cares to respond with it. I thought Buddpress was a very well supported compatible community for wordpress.

I may have to find another product all together for this project possibly even outside wordpress as it just does not make sense to build something without SEO in mind.

Zorro…

opened ticket for it: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4835

That’s correct, a blog post. My WordPress was set to default to a role called “Member”. I’m not sure how or why. I changed it back to “Subscriber” all seems well now. The blog post option no longer appears in the top bar. 🙂

Thank you two for your help.

HI @mercime, thank you for your reply.

The set up is as follows;
New install: WordPress 3.5.1 MU joint Network with x7 Mapped domains

New install: Buddypress 1.6.4 Running all sites on Dynamix WP/BP theme

New install: BBPress 2.2.4 With Network & Group forums configured.

Buddypress has been installed ‘without’ the discussion forums tab enabled.

<code>define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );</code> Is located in wp-config.

Set up for stewide & group forums from: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ followed to the last note.

After further examination, it appears that I can edit group forums with no issues whatsoever, it is the sitewide forums that have the blocked actions, I literally can’t do anything with them. Page just refreshes.

Tried disabling all network enabled plugins which are; WP SEO (Yoast), WPMU Domain Mapping, Ultimate coming soon page & Join my multisite, to no avail.

It has me well and truly stumped ! The site is locked down under maintenance at the moment, but I’m happy to PM access to any moderator here if they felt it may help to see the issue first hand.

Regards,

I posted in his forum for the plugin on wordpress.org. That is where they tell you to ask for support. https://yoast.com/contact/

Posted something days ago off another post that had been there for a while. Created a new post today.

I was hoping there would be some Buddypress pros here that would maybe know the answer to this. I am completely new to BP and only been working with WordPress for about a year. Although been in tech online for sometime. But I am no developer for sure. But a good IM and web strategy guy.,

Sorry…

Buddypress Version 1.6.2
Wordpress Version 3.5

it uses the default theme

wow………………..wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

In wordpress while signing up is_email() function is used to verify whether that email good or not……
along with in login,php their is a function called register_new_user() in there email address is checked.

Then in buddypress how could it check user_email is in correct format or not !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the quick reply and link! I’ve actually poured over the BP security plugins, but again, if you or someone else on the forum had a good “security plugin package” to recommend, that may be better than just installing many that may interfere with each other. I did read through the WordPress link that you sent and that was helpful.

Here are the plugins I have activated so far: Timed auto logout, email address encoder, BP security check and password rules.

Right now I am not having problems because my site is not live yet. Thanks.
