BuddyPress.org

You could grant them all the Subscriber role. How did they all end up with the Member role? It’s not BuddyPress’s default role; did you set it to be in WordPress’s settings?

Please post at theme’s forums at https://wordpress.org/support/theme/custom-community or at http://themekraft.com/support/

One other thing that I don’t know the answer to is how BuddyPress keys are connected to the WordPress registration process. For example, does WordPress generate the key, or is it BuddyPress that is generating the key?

If WordPress is generating the key, then the answer might be further down the line.

@kpolkson,
There are smarter people around these forums than me, but I will try to help.

It looks like you haven’t defined the $key variable or have not passed it properly.

Perhaps try digging into bp-members-functions.php and figuring out a way to extract the $key variable. See the line:
`$user_id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE meta_key = ‘activation_key’ AND meta_value = %s”, $key ) );`

https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php

they see the Dashboard option of the main site … is there some way of disabling that?

What versions of WordPress, BuddyPress, and Jetpack are you using?

buddypress followme or buddypress followers ?

The followme plugin integrate a widget. https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress-follow-me/trunk/includes/

And on followme description page, you can read:

— Important — If you use Buddypress Followers plugin ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/ ), it should be deactivated.

What they said. Most important, backup database & server files and to expect that plugins/themes from BP 1.1 won’t work in current WP/BP versions.

Hi,

what kind of follower do  you need ? Only from within your site or social followres ?

For the first case, check here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-follow-me/

how difficult would id be to create one
– huh, depends on you. Read here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/plugin-development/creating-a-plugin/

Sorry ! There is a plugin for nested comments, but it will only work if you use bbPress as standalone forum. Doesn’t work for group forums.

We’re aware: the bug report is at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4566

I think we’ll release a 1.6.3 soon.

Thanks @modemlooper, works great..:)

BuddyPress 1.6.2 requires WordPress 3.5.

I have done a BP 1.2.4 to BP 1.5.7(ish) and it worked fine. Interested to see how well a 1.1 to 1.6.2 goes. I’d suggest not worrying about stepping the BuddyPress upgrades, and doing something like:

1) Switch to a default WordPress theme (twentyten).

2) Disable all plugins.

3) Upgrade WordPress.

4) Add new version of BuddyPress, and activate it, and do that upgrade.

5) Update all other plugins, and reactivate them.

6) Switch back to original theme.

Make backups

@djpaul I remember that issue https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3760 and it was resolved https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3684

Even then, I didn’t see any option for users to create their own blog during or after account creatio

You need to create a Network or make the single site Multisite first -> https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network If you hit some snags during the process, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite for assistance.

my question is more along the lines of asking if both types of sites can co-exist as one single site.

For a single WP installed e.g. at example.com, you can only create one multisite installation by default where subsites/blogs are either set up in a subdirectory or subdomain structure.

There are plugins to make each subsite into a network of its own and set up BP in each or some of the networks https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/ or the premium Networks+ http://wpebooks.com/networks/ You should have at least a VPS or Dedicated server when you go this route.

hi,

– Should I update WordPress or BuddyPress first?
WP first than BP, but together !
BP from version 1.1.2 to 1.2!important, from 1.2 to 1.5 from 1.5 to 1.6.2
Same thing for WP from 2.8.4 to 3.0!important, from 3.0 to 3.2, from 3.2 to 3.4 from 3.4 to 3.5

For each, take the versions from SVN.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags

– Does any of the versions between the 1.1.2 and the last of BP will mess up with Design?

Yes/No depends on how deep you did the changes

– Where can I edit the website Title, Description and Keywords?
From within the site admin Dashboard > General settings
As keywords are no more used by Google, they’re not necessary. Otherwise you have to hardcode them into your child theme index page

– Is there something that I need to know in order to make this update successfully?
First of all, read the codex 😀
https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/releases/

I’m closing this thread as it’s a duplicate of your other one, you should not create new threads on the same topic it just confuses matters.

follow my instructions above! Yes disable all plugins and once back in activate each in turn until you find a culprit , speculate on what else it can be after you have rulled out plugins.
