how to migrate total content from buddypress to wps with out disturbance to users and members of the website

@indirakrishna if that is your goal, then the best place to ask at their forums re migration tools, if any, from BP to WPS https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-symposium
Good luck.

@enriksen –
To ‘do’ shortcodes in different content areas, you will need to filter do_shortcode() into certain functions. See the WordPress codex for documentation on do_shortcode() https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode and add_filter: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

To add it to the activity stream, you’ll want to add
`add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘do_shortcode’); // Adds shortcodes to activity content.`

Xprofile is similar:
`add_filter(‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘do_shortcode’); // Adds shortcodes to xprofile content.`

You can find a list of filters in BuddyPress in bp-{component}/bp-{component}-filters in the buddypress files.
eg: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php

Remember that this will allow all shortcodes to be used [which is why it’s not on by default], currently there is no way to pick and choose what shortcodes to allow short of using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/.

BP doesn’t seem to work at all with multisite installations of WP 3.5.1. I’ve just spent an hour clearing up the mess. The installation wizard seems to assume it’s going into a single domain wordpress installation and can’t cope with anything else.

It’s not at all suitable for multisite/multidomain installations.

Nothing to do with memory, either.

I see that you’ve also posted at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-activity-plus-impossible-to-upload-a-picture-and-add-link-not-working

a) It could be that the Activity Plus plugin needs to be updated or
b) it is also possible that you’ve maxed out the default network settings for that blogsite. Did you get any warning of that sort?
– Go to Network Admin > Dashboard and click on Settings > Network Settings and check if there was any limitation set there in “Site Upload Space Quota” section
or
– Go to Network Admin > Sites and click on the “Edit” link below the blog/site where BP is installed i.e., where you’re using the Activity Plus plugin. Click on the Settings tab and in the panel which shows up, look to the very bottom of that page, check “Site Upload Space Quota” if it was left blank to default
c) could also be that another plugin has set the upload space quota
d) could also be just another plugin conflicting with the activity plus plugin.

@enquirer32, for your first issue you could try a plugin like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-external-links/ and this should work exactly as you wish in conjunction with the Activity Plus plugin by opening a link in a new window with the settings properly adjusted within the plugin admin.

As for the second issue, I’m not sure as I’ve not used any of the widgetized options there before…

Hope this helps!

@mbyrne please post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-docs

I was under the impression that the point of the forum was to get help/answers to issues.

@jwf3773 Sure it is. However, holding moderators as if they were accountable for third-party plugins per your call out in topic title “HELLO?!?! Any Moderators?” is not kosher 🙂 Please do post support requests for this plugin at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-group-reviews
Cheers.

@resom – BuddyPress doesn’t properly support capabilities (in the current release) except for some basic is_super_admin checking.

The moderator/keymaster/forum roles are from BBpress. And currently have no uses inside buddypress.

In 1.7 (the next release) the core devs have been working on making this better – See: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2348 for developer discussions on this.

I have 4 separate WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.6.4 installations. I have connected them via the CUSTOM_USER_TABLE CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’ lines in the wp-config.php file. I have also installed the WP Orphan plugin.

When a person goes to one installation to register they will be given a user account and a blog site. When they go to one of the other installations they are there as a user but not having a site. In the admin listing of users, they are listed as a user in the ‘/’ (or admin) site, presumably as Subscriber role.

If I wanted the user to have sites the other installations as well being users what would I have to do then? Would I change the role to ‘Editor’ in the Orphan plugin, or is there another database that I would have to share?

1) Even some BuddyPress themes can do that – so, yes.
2) 2 plugins (one & two) for BuddyPress exists for this. Yes.
3) Achievements plugin by Paul Gibbs (BP core developer) and Cube Points. Yes.
4) Lots of WordPress-based solutions – nothing to do here for BP. Yes.
5) Via a plugin like BuddyPress Block Activity Stream Types or via easy to write code hacks in your template.

WP+BP might be your option if you can afford a good hosting.

Each user in the network can have different roles on different sites.
That mean on site1 he is editor, on site2 he is subscriber and so on. These roles are only taken into account in WordPress Toolbar – when visiting different sites with the (dis)ability to post on them.

BuddyPress itself currently ignores those roles.

In a BP installation (sitting on top Multisite WP) is there a difference in terms of Role between an extra user on a site, and user that has their own site?

BP Registration Options.

I think those users are spam. What usernames do they have?

Check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/

`I have group creation disabled and users have to fill in a form to have us manually create their group.`
The spammer might have hacked into the Site/Super Admin account. Backup database. Curious what’s the username used by the hacker? Check activity of said “member” and remove/delete anything created by said member then delete from users. Do you still have a username “admin”? Then create another username for your admin account and then demote the “admin” to suscriber in wp-admin or remove completely.

try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-user-frontend/

it supports add media,quote,image, link, etc, etc

I am getting the same problem. It seems a bug, but I don’t know how to report it correctly.
I am on latest versions of wp, bp and bbp (3.5.1, 1.6.4 & 2.2.4 respectively), developing locally using MAMP.

The problem is essentially this.
When wordpress is installed with buddypress and bbpress (sitewide forums with group forums enabled for buddypress), if one hovers on “Howdy” menu to access forums quick-links, the forums menu offers 6 links (when you hover on “forums” quick-link), with 4 unique and 2 (“Topics Started” and “Favorite Topics”) duplicates. However, contrary to what @rmohney observed, even if group-forums are turned off, the problem (duplicate quick-links) persist(s).
