BuddyPress.org

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.

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).

My developer is trying to use Nextend Connect, separate plugins each for Facebook, Twitter, Google. Anyone try them? I’m not sure the individual ratings are real, but they’re pretty glowing: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=nextend+connect

How did you install WP via webhost script or manual install e.g. via s/FTP or similar? Have you tried re-uploading WordPress manually?

You can always submit a bug ticket on
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573

Use the same login you use here. Provide an url where they can see the issue.

Ok. Do some research on conflicting Java scripts. You may have to take the same code and rewrite it a different way so the codes don’t conflict.. I’m not sure how well you understand java. Also. Go into the config.php in the WordPress and turn on the debugging mode and click the load more button.. You might be able to get an idea of what’s going on if the debugging gives it to you.. Also what’s the site address?

@ted_myers By default, there is one BuddyPress instance in a multisite installation. So even if you enable multiblog, while you can now have e.g. subdomain.example.com/members in your install, what you can post to and see there is that of BP in the main site.

If you want to have multiple instances of BuddyPress in your Multisite installation, there are two available plugins for that
1. ​https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
and
2. ​http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/

I think bbPress plugin only, unless — by coincidence — the name of the event is shared (doubtful).

“so i have not encountered any problems with wsl with bp and if there is its pretty much manageable via the settings. but it would be epic if wsl will be officially be compatible with bp.”

After some more research, it appears this is a known bug that is listed as “WON’T FIX” :

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4525

Not too clear about what they mean in the last comment by: “Closing as wontfix, as theme compat will enable us to fix this easier if it comes up again.”

but it would seem that the core team have no interest in fixing this.  Has anyone else found any solutions to offer them?
