BuddyPress.org

Have you identified any BP plugins that would give you extra security ?

Have you read any of the many docs re hardening WP installs ?
Here’s a start point: https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

IP Deny Manager would be useful if you’ve identified IPs that are causing problems.

There is no such function.
There is a hook – as Paul showed you.
Use that hook to write your own function.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_action

Put the function in a plugin or bp-custom.php
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/

okay i think i actually figured out my problem at least which seems to be a bug actually. Not sure if its related to this one that was also recently reported:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4827

this bug is actually with 1.6.4 haven’t yet been able to test with 1.7 what happens is that if you create a site using network admin and do not set the tittle attribute it never gets added to the directory if someone could tell me if this is not related to that other bug i will attempt to make a trac ticket for it. thanks!

I’m looking into this too. I think the problem is that bbpress is adding that forum tab and not buddypress. Did you figure it out?

Otherwise this is a good reference.

@pdxpogo that error is related to the BuddyPress Registration Options plugin. Someone posted a workaround and another uploaded his own version of the plugin at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-new-warning-please-help-fast-urgent?replies=24 No guarantees here.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this with Yoast. I spent the whole day today searching the net for solutions and event tried some that really did not work especially the way they should.

Lets think about this for a min. One of the strong points WordPress has always had is SEO. Clearly SEO is a big part of any serious website trying to grow. Buddpress is clearly the ICON in the social media building of sites for WP. So their has got to be a solution out there some plac as well as their needs to be long term fixes put into place so this is no longer an issue.

I even tracked down this site today and observed many of their sites SEO and how well they were handling things at a member, group level and other areas of BP. http://www.buddyboss.com/the-largest-list-of-buddypress-sites/

Some you could tell don’t have a clue what I am talking about while others clearly found a way. I am also looking at contacting some of the sites that do to see if they could provide a solution.

I did find this product today and even tested it. But to be honest while there has been a a lot of work that has went into it. Its not even in the same league as Yoast for SEO. There are so many other advanced features in Yoast that most people do not understand or use but add additional power for those that truly understand how to leverage SEO. http://themekraft.com/shop/seopress-pro/

Zorro…..

It seems kind of anti intuitive that someone who signs up for my wordpress site has to then ALSO sign up for my network?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/join-my-multisite/ by @ipstenu would pretty much address what you need in your network

If you want to replace the responsive css with your own, you should be able to disable the default with

function bbg_enqueue_styles() {
	remove_theme_support( 'bp-default-responsive' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbg_enqueue_styles', 5 );

Hi, it’s not possibe out of the box and depending which BP version you use.

This perhaps may work on 1.5.x only:

How to Add an Image Field to Buddypress Extended Profile Fields

Thanks Paul, I’ve created a new trac ticket for it
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4823

Plugins which work on 1.6.x that don’t work on 1.7/trunk should be reported on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org as a regression.

I am receiving the same identical error on non-BuddyPress pages.

I have pages I created through WordPress (Dashboard > Pages > Add New), such as Help, Contact, Home. All these pages display the error message at the top of the page.

I want to assign my Site Tracking to a different page.

@km-schafer-1
1. wp-admin Pages > Add New and title it “Sites” then click Publish
2. wp-admin Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and assign the new Sites page to site tracking

Also, every time I create a new site, when I click on it, I am taken to another installation of WordPress.

Something’s gone awry with your multisite installation. Did you follow instructions at https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network ?

At this stage, deactivate BuddyPress then create a subsite. If you are still being redirected to another WP install, please post the issue at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Please make sure that your multisite issue is resolved before re-activating BuddyPress.

@patrykos360 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap – 8 more tickets at this time for BP 1.7. Yes, you will no longer have to edit the BP template files.

You can test BP 1.7 out by downloading trunk version via:
SVN – svn co https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ OR
ZIP file – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk then click on “Zip Archive” near bottom of page and download to computer hard drive. Rename the zip folder from trunk-xxx to buddypress before uploading.

Not exactly. No time counter. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/

Unfortunately, you have a theme that is heavy handed with it’s css and is forcing it’s style over the BP css. Theme compatibility is working it’s just that your theme has css that is styling the BP markup in an unflattering light.

Theme compatibility is not perfect. It’s main goal is to get BuddyPress inside a WordPress and function. How it looks can rely on the WordPress as in your case.

You will need to change some of the css in your theme to fit BP inside better.

Hi, I am using this useful plugin named “Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress” to remove link of any fields I want.

This plugin dont come with admin panel, so need to edit the custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress.php file.

After this line:
`$no_link_fields = array( // Enter the field ID of any field that you want to appear as plain, non-clickable text. Don’t forget to separate with commas.`

You can add in the field (field name must match) that need to be linkless:
`’bio’,
‘something’ ,`

This plugin allows you to setup social field too like just enter facebook username or id and it will auto generate the url.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

Note: this plugin is old and not update, there is an error with the social field url, but just need to apply this fixed:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress-new-profile-fields-in-16-ruins-the-functionality-of-this-plugin

Hope it helps.

@sahil1802

This is a very very late answer. Might be irrelevant now, but BuddyPress Media has evolved from being a Kaltura port.

It is now a powerful stand alone media manager for BuddyPress.

Regards.

@thomasboerre yes, something’s missing in your multisite installation. Deactivate BuddyPress. Please resolve the multisite issue before activating BuddyPress again.

Follow precisely the instructions written https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
Based on what you’ve posted above at the very least – a) define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); should be above “/* That’s all, stop editing! …” not just below DB information and b) you’re missing Step 4 – Enabling the Network – wherein you’re suppposed to add more in wp-config.php

For more assistance, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
