BuddyPress.org

Hi @mercime , @chouf1 , @djpaul ,

Thanks again for your help, just made a WordPress repo request. So the plugin will soon be available there.

If you find any other bug meanwhile, please let me know 😉

3. The group admin can invite friends to join their group.

To invite members that are not friends of the group admin, use this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/developers/

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser#tags/1.5.5

well that’s not the way it works at all when network activated some aspects of buddypress provide network wide functionality but the front end display is only as i say on the primary blog/site for instance you can use buddypress to give your users the ability to create their own sub sites (in a more user friendly fashion then wordpress itself provides alone) and any activity on the various sub sites will be displayed in the network wide activity feed which again only displays on the primary blog by default.

@rayela I downloaded and installed the Easy Invitation Codes plugin for BuddyPress here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baw-invitation-codes/developers/ (Under the “Other Versions” section) and to avoid the false update (which updates to the WordPress version) I changed the version number, found in the baw-invitation-codes/bp-eic.php, from version 1.0 to 1.0.4

It’s actually easier than you think to find that file and edit the version number. Simply go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find “BP Easy Invitation Codes” in the plugin list and click “Edit”. It’ll take you right to the file you need. It looks like this:

/*
Plugin Name: BP Easy Invitation Codes
Plugin URI: http://mediatricks.com
Description: BP Visitors have to enter an invitation code to register on your site. The easy way!
Version: 1.0
Author: Mediatricks
Author URI: http://mediatricks.com
License: GPLv2
*/

Just add a .4 to the end of the version number and remember to check the Developer section of the plugin for updates, instead of updating automatically. Hopefully they’ll separate the two plugins soon so that we can update automatically. I’ve mentioned it in the support forum.

Once you’re set up, all you have to do is create an invitation code, which can be whatever you want, and email it to your friends. Check out the screenshots section for the plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baw-invitation-codes/screenshots/ It’ll give you a better idea of how it works.

Are you running bbPress? I had the same issue, and narrowed it down to bbPress. I’ve filed a bug report here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2161

Here’s a temporary solution that worked for me:
`function bp_fix_blog_role($blog_id, $user_id) {
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $user_id, ‘administrator’ );
}
add_action( ‘wpmu_new_blog’, ‘bp_fix_blog_role’, 10, 2 );`

Just drop this in `mu-plugins` if you want. You can change “administrator” to whatever role you prefer. This function runs immediately after the blog is created, so it will probably solve your problem.

Suggest you file a bug report on https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

@judym12 There’s only one kind of BuddyPress plugin and it is free even though it’s used by many professionals – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

Who’s trying to sell a PRO version of BuddyPress? URI? There are plugins built to be used with BuddyPress which are paid or premium or PRO versions, but those are not THE BuddyPress plugin.

You have made the pages, right? For BuddyPress to work, you need to create some new pages in WordPress, like “Members”, “Activity”, “Activate”, et cetera. Once you’ve created those pages, you go back to the BuddyPress section and the “Pages” tab and assign the pages you just created to the new sections.

If you’re still having problems, perhaps a walk-through of the BuddyPresss Installation and Setup will help: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/ It helped me when I first started 🙂

Ola !

The best is probably here (thanks @djpaul)

Older version avaible here:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev/es/default

http://www.bp-es.com/

Cool! Back in the Dashboard, pick settings again and find “Permalinks” in the list. In the permalinks options, choose a link setting other than the default. I prefer the “Post-name” one, myself. After you save your changes you should be set.

BuddyPress requires “pretty permalinks’. mod_rewrite should be enabled

I had problems with WangGuard as well. If you’re site is for a invites-only, you could always try using the “Easy Invitation Codes” plugin. There’s a nice BP-compatible version in the developer section: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baw-invitation-codes/developers/ (The link just under “Other Versions”.) It works great and is simple to set up.

After installation, all you’d have to do is create a code and send it to the people you want to join. When they register, all they’d need to do is add the invite code, like “ARTROCKSSPAMSUCKS”, into an added field and you’re set.

There is one tiny glitch – but don’t panic! The altered plugin still connects to the regular WordPress plugin, so it will tell you that an upgrade is available after installation. It’s a lie! I did a cheat-fix to get rid of that notification by opening the bp-eic.php file and changing the version number from 1.0 to 1.0.4. And, while writing this message, I decided to try and alert the author of the conflict.
