BuddyPress.org

Hi all and thanks for all the info 🙂

I’m looking aswell for a plugin that automatically fill in the Buddypress users’ X-Profile data from the uers’ Facebook profiles.

I have tried the free version of https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/ but it has a serious problem. If I login with my FB account a few times, this plugin create a new user every time in the wp_users table. I don’t know if the premium version of this plugin fix this problem, so if any of you have tested it, I would be very thankful for your comments 🙂

Hi @purplemonkeyking you only have to disable the users’ registration option here: http://example.com/wp-admin/network/settings.php

Then, try to connect with the plugin you’re using and done. I’m using the same plugin and it works for me 😉

By the way, are you using the premium version of https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/ it’s because I need the premium BP features and I would like to know other people opinion before to buy it.

Thanks!

Where did you find the plugin?

Going to https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-privacy/ says it’s no longer there. The other reference to it here it gone too http://simplercomputing.net/2010/03/18/simple-buddypress-profile-privacy/

??

and i only can access the main forum from the side bar

Actually, you have your sitewide forum index page at http://justinharvey.com/F/

Also i am trying to add CSS to My pages and cant figure it out. any tips?

One usually adds the styles to your theme’s style.css file. However, since you’re using the BP Default theme, any modifications made to the style.css file will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress. It would be better if you created a child theme of the BP Default theme and add styles to that child theme’s style.css file. Or use a WordPress theme and install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

You could do that for HTML and CSS but I would think you’d rather stage this in a separate development installation via XAMPP/MAMP/WAMP That way, you’d be able to test the theme first and also have a backup of your theme should anything go awry in your server online.

I think you mean Javascript instead of Java, a different animal altogether. Again, I suggest you create/update theme in local server first. WordPress Codex for creating themes – https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

hi @m1000,

you can’t call a same function twice on the same page. That’s probably what happens when the normal loop fires “music” content and your custom widget calls the same function for “all” content…

Did you tried this plugin ? https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-recent-groups-topics

Don’t hesitate to open it and view how it works ! 😀

Have you checked the BP documentation yet?

https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#step-three

Have you a basic degree of HTML/PHP knowledge, you will need a basic level to be bale to copy/paste the markup structure of BP template files to match the themes structure which is what step three is about and I’m afraid is a manual process.

If you can’t manage the adjustment of the files it may be better to wait for BP 1.7 to drop as that will work with any theme.

If the page mapping is correct, and you’ve tried disabling all other plugins to see if the problem goes away, please report a bug on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org so that someone can investigate. You can use your username and password from this site. Thanks!

I’d first up suggest the following codex page for WordPress: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP. Get that sorted BuddyPress is the easy bit.

I have the same issue. Im hosting on justhost with a linux server and wordpress 3.5.
Everything was just fine before the last update but now some users can’t register because it just refreshes the page. Do someone knows more specific what is the issue? I think is an issue with buddypress and some browsers.

This looks really nice; good job! Good luck to growing your community 🙂

use : is_page(697)

no quotes when an ID

quotes when slug or page title

https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

But I’d write your code using a category:

in_category( ‘public’ )

This way you can add whatever pages you want to show via admin

this was helpful to me but there turns out to be more to it than just bp-activity-filters.php.

Read the following thread

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/vexatious-read-more-linkslack-thereof?replies=4#post-3672956

let me know if this is helpful to you. Or if you can think of improvements. A more elegant solution perhaps

I think I cracked the code. Read the following thread

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/vexatious-read-more-linkslack-thereof?replies=4#post-3672956

let me know if this is helpful to you.

There’s also https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/

But couldn’t seem to get it to work

The tutorial by @pcwriter was pretty much spot-on. Could be a theme or plugin conflict or might be that you missed a step or two in the tutorial. Have you posted in said article by being specific as to precisely where you hit the roadblock/s in the tutorial?

Is there a plugin that can I do this?

@tandyman You could use the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/ though you might have to configure the other customizations from pcwriter’s article.

Hi @latinosamorir,

not the complete solution, but the begin of a path. Maybe you can contact the author ?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-force-profile/

You can visit and navigate public groups; you can’t access private groups without becoming a member. I’m not sure how familiar you are with CSS, but you can drop that code in a CSS plugin. There is a WordPress.com CSS plugin that has been swallowed up by Jetpack, so if you use jetpack that works too.

@ubernaut bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php is in trunk yes. But you could already apply the fix for bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php on this line https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L115

Check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/ with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ You’d need to have a dedicated server and Jedi Knight coding skills to create and maintain this kind of installation.
