BuddyPress.org

There was a free one that hasn’t been updated for a while https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-xtra-signup/ but if you’d like to dive in and update the code yourself go ahead.

There’s a premium TOS plugin which is compatible with BP http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/terms-of-service/

There’s a document sharing plugin for BP https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-docs/
And that’s about it except for Gallery/Album plugins
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too.

I see that you’ve posted at the plugin’s forums at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-gtm-system and that’s the best place to post the issue.

Know that this is the holiday season so the possibility that the plugin will be updated within the next few days is low. If you’ve made a backup of your database and server files before you upgraded, I suggest reverting back to your old WP version install with those backups if you need GTM working.

Just thought I’d add another suggestion – there’s a plugin called Member Access (http://www.chrisabernethy.com/wordpress-plugins/member-access/) which controls access to pages based on whether a visitor is logged in or not. I’m using it successfully on a BuddyPress site. I think you’d have to disable access to the “Member Directory” page as well for it to work ‘out of the box’, but with some php tweaking  you may be able to have the directory page show but restrict access to more detailed profile information.

hi there i’m not so much of coder but i’m thinking i’ll chime in here anyway but most of what you are looking for usually falls under the umbrella of what plugins normally do. some people like to make their own i not being a programmer tend to go with whats already been done for the most part.

#1 you might want to check out s2 members plugin does everything you are looking for in #1 and more but then again that’s not always desirable just saying you might want to check it out.

#2 what you are saying here seems to be a non-sequiter if you actually meant to say site instead of network however it sounds like you actually want to be giving new users Author or Contributor users roles which is actually just a WordPress thing and has very little to do with BuddyPress itself other then possible a hook into the public profiles but again this sounds like something that might also be handled by a plugin especially with regards to reordering the content. Be advised this information already exists on a contributors author page which again sort of a WP thing and not really a BP thing.

#3 is already sorta possibly already similar to the last thing any post (wp thing) can be set to private or password protected but tying that access to different BP connections once again sounds to me like some a plugin might do.

#4 i don’t follow this one either if nobody can see each other how would they ask them to be friends? if you wanted to do such a thing it once again sounds like a plugin.

plugins that do what you are looking for may or may not exist, you will need to do some research or perhaps build them yourself. Like i said before i’m not actually a programmer but from what i hear WP/BP plugin coding is relatively stratiforward if you are proficient in php.

@factorian Re the how to’s in applying the patch: if this is your first time to do anything like this, I would suggest that you implement it on a test installation and not a live site.

Go to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6326 the files you’d want to change are listed there. Add codes with green backgrounds and delete code in file with red backgrounds. Or, if you know how to use SVN (there are many online tutorials) then you can apply the patch to check if this works for you.

@hindicell as Ben mentioned above, go to Users > Profile Fields. You have the option of presenting the choices via Radio Buttons, Select Boxes or Multi Select Box

@sjroda that happened because of the many changes wrought in WP 3.5
We pretty much go along with what the mothership – WordPress – does. Even if you deactivate BuddyPress, you’d see the same behavior with featured images etc.

@voopress a simple way to do this http://bpsocialnetwork.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/sitewide-url-in-footer/

@voopress

1. the plugin has not been updated since WP 3.2.1

2. it’s a weekend and it’s one that’s before a major holiday here so many forum volunteers are shopping or just taking some well-deserved rest or traveling somewhere, etc.

3. https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-moderation/trunk/bpModLoader.php
You can still activate the plugin network-wide even if you remove that “Network: true” from that file I linked to above in your plugins/bp-moderation/ folder so you could access it in subsite’s plugin panel. Having said that, no guarantees that the plugin would still work with WP 3.5

@gnetworkau making it easier in BP 1.7 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4527

This new cropping “feature” was introduced with the release of WordPress 3.5, and what you need to do, at least what we’ve found that kind of works, is to drag that little black square with the white outline outside of the avatar entirely and then line up your cursor as close to one of the corners of the avatar as you can and then drag it across. It won’t be perfect, and it will degrade the avatar image quality somewhat (no matter what you do), but it will then work as best as can be expected.

Oh how we miss the old way, just mere weeks ago, with how the cropping feature worked. It was quick and perfect, but not so anymore. Perhaps it does work perfectly for some folks, but not for us, and obviously not for you either.

Hope this tip helps!

What version of WordPress + BuddyPress are you using?

This sounds like a bbPress bug; if you could report it to http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, using your username and password from this site, and linking back to this discussion, the bbPress team can investigate it; it looks like a genuine yet uncommon problem.

Yup, it was reported in the plugin’s forums https://wordpress.org/support/topic/v35-throws-up-error-messages?replies=1 Best person to fix this is the author of the plugin.

There’s a premium plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-auto-activate-auto-login/ or you could try to update an old plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-disable-activation/

forum walls

Are you referring to the Group Forums or Sitewide Forums? There’s no plugin that does this for Group Forums. For bbPress Sitewide Forums -> https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

I (myself) wanted to have my 5 websites in the multisite. 1 main site (BuddyPress) + 4 sub-sites Just WordPress (Not BuddyPress). I don’t offer sites to members.

Then why didn’t you continue with that?, you don’t have to offer sites to members. Why did you try what is really ill advised once you have a production site running – unless you have  experience of these matters.

The backup size is because that is a server backup, and I would guess being done in the same fashion as a control panel backups, including the zipped backup probably, is that a normal size? hard to say, it’s large but those types of backups often are being designed to restore  more than just your site.

If I were you I would probably leave well enough alone and just disable anyone can regieter a site. and keep yours, if not then follow exactly the advice given on WP forum and by mercime.

Deleted your duplicated post.

For courseware issues, please post in plugin’s forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-courseware

Marking this topic re installing BuddyPress as resolved.

This topic is three years old; I shouldn’t need to tell you how much has changed in BuddyPress and WordPress since then. Please make your own, new, post, and provide more details about your problem.
