BuddyPress.org

@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)

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.

In your dashboard, go to settings and select “BuddyPress”. You’ll be brought to the BuddyPress options page. Select the tab titled “Pages”. From there it will help you create the needed pages and associate those pages with the BuddyPress components 😀

There’s a record in the user meta table that would need to be set (‘bp_last_activity’). Try https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/activate-users-in-buddypress/ and see if it’s working.

Those classes are not moving. It’s a function that attaches to WordPress core css body classes.

@digitman2

I believe this plugin will help you with restrictions

where has this plugin gone? Can’t find it on wordpress plugins??

you may want to look into s2 member i think it can handle everything you are trying to achieve also i don’t think you should be so concerned about the buddypress activation process as opposed to the wordpress activation for security reasons i believe if anything the buddypress slightly more secure but for the most part i think they’re the exact same thing (other then the additional default email verification step for buddypress) in fact if someone registers for your site but fails to activate they will be a regular wordpress user and not listed with your other buddypress members.
